Sixers beat Lakers, now 18-7

Like a lot of people, I keep expecting the Sixers to come back down to earth. After all, this is basically the same team as last year, except for rookie center Nick Vucevic. How could they improve so much in one season? But maybe it’s time to take them seriously. After enduring so many disappointments from Philly teams that underachieve, it’s refreshing to have one exceed expectations for a change. So let’s just enjoy the ride while it lasts. They certainly are a fun team to watch!
