The Sixers schedule looks difficult after the All-Star Break with 15 out of 25 games on the road and 10 out of 25 games against top opponents. It breaks down into four groups with two sections of really tough games. That said, there is a nice 9 game stretch in March that could be a good place to go on a run. The prediction here is 15-10 which means a final record of 53-19 which would actually be the most wins since getting 56 in 2001 (Sixers won 52, 51, 51 in the past 5 years). What do you think? Do I have the number right? I also picked one game from each group as the "Marquee Matchup." Let's Go, Sixers!
