Scouting The Enemy: Philadelphia

[Way Of The Ray <wayray@ix.netcom.com>]

Philadelphia will in all likelihood be a better team this season.

Why?  

Speedy Claxton. The Stoudamire/Norm Nixon-like Claxton,
when teamed with Iverson, gives the 76s the quickest/fastest
backcourt in the NBA, and the other scorer they needed.
Their defense/shortness is not a worry as Mutumbo (ah,
the value of a dominant shotblocking center) mitigates
whatever defensive liabilities those two have.

One other thought: If there's any coach that can get to
Moiso, it's Larry Brown.
