I am seriously disapointed in what I've been seeing from the Sixers against these Western teams so far. It's only been 3 games and 2 against the West, but still losing to Golden State without 3 of their starters is inexcusable. Of course we could always say we were missing Glenn, but they are missing their two best scorers and their best big man. Nothing but disapointment as of now... Hopefully that will change.

i agree.

I see them improving as the year progresses.

The Warriors loss was definitely a bad one in my opinion. They aren't just missing their starters, they're missing arguably their top three players. I don't consider them too good of a team at full health, so losing to them playing without their top three is a really bad loss in my opinion. I still think the Sixers are a solid team and Robinson returning will help, but it hasn't been the best opening week for them.

Not only has Philly's defense been bad. But Golden State made almost EVERY jumper even WHEN there was a defender in their face.

By far the potential easiest of the three road games to win is already in the loss column. They were a very long shot to beat the Kings.Portland will be no picnic. Hopefully Robinson can play and play well.

Interior defense is a critical factor in the NBA, and Ratleff and Mutombo are elsewhere. I'm not sure they can improve in that area with their current rotation. They are what they are. If they play more Dalembert, they will suffer mightily in many areas, but eventually he may tighten up the interior defense. It could cause losses in winnable games at present. Is anybody willing to take the risk?
