dueling forecasts in cnnsi

The first link burries the Sixers, picking them to finish 15th in the
East.  The second is much more positive.  I suspect the season will
play out somewhere between those two perspectives--they won't be as
bad as some think (mostly because the Knicks and other flavors of the
month (we're looking at you, Boston) won't be as good as predicted)
but it would take every break falling their way for the season to be
memorable in a good way.
