Philly's Youth Movement: 76ers Back on Track

One weak link could be Willie Green. He does not shoot the ball well, and the Sixers need a 3-point shooter in the near future. After giving up Kyle Korver for the expiring contract of Gordon Giricek, the Sixers hoped Willie Green could be the guy from the outside. That has not worked.

Above all of this, give some dap to Mo Cheeks for getting his team to play hard every night.  He has handled his young players with care, keeping a fragile young team from shattering.

What we have here is a hoard of youthful talent that could come together in the next few years. That's not to say they are a championship caliber team, but they have given teams a run for their money all season.

Beating Dallas last night 84-76 shows that they are not afraid to play with the big boys. They have won four straight and six of their last eight. If they can keep playing for all 48 minutes, look out.

No one in the East will want to play these guys.

Billy King, congrats, even though your gone. It looks like whatever you did just might be working.
