Well it’s finally here. The 2007-08 season begins tonight for the low-expectation Sixers. It may appear that I’m not a fan of the team. This isn’t the case at all. I’m often most critical of the things I love. I just want the best for the franchise, and we’ve gotten short shrift for a few seasons now. I wish the team the best of luck and the best of health. I have faith that Mo Cheecks will do his damnedest to get this team on the right track. I just don’t know how much that will matter. Iguodala, contract or no extension will be fun to watch year long. Korver will hop off the bench and bang threes. Who knows what Dalembert, Williams, and Willie Green will do - but I’ll be watching. I scored some tickets to the home opener on Saturday night, and I’m geeked up! Besides the fact, that I am just a huge NBA fan - let’s enjoy the ride.
