The Sixers started the 2011-12 season on a tear, winning
10 of their first 13 games, surprising many who expected more of the same
mediocrity that they have witnessed the past six seasons. Another surprise was
Center Spencer Hawes, who had six double-doubles in his first 12 games played.
While he played, he masked Philadelphia’s lack of depth in the frontcourt
pretty well, but since he’s gotten hurt the Sixers have been 2-3. To make
matters worse, backup Nikola Vucevic got hurt during Saturday’s loss in Miami.
That leaves the Sixers top two centers as Tony Battie and newly-signed Francisco
Elson, names that just strike fear into opposing teams.
Yeah, I don’t believe me either…
