Sixers Bold Predictions

Simmons Vs. Ingram... A Thing?

Season predictions are a) the absolute worst but also b) the absolute best. None of us really have any idea what's going to happen, but you've got to put those predictions down on the internet so someone can retweet that trash in six months (or longer). 

Andrew Unterberger did his bold predictions for the season, which include this maddening passage:

"I have a feeling this is gonna be really great year for Ingram: He was already playing like a borderline All-Star in the second half last season before being shut down with injury, and now he has LeBron James as a teammate. LeBron hasn’t ever had a teammate like Ingram before, and it seems likely he’s going to make the young wing his own personal project. I’d bet Ingram averages comofortably over 20 a game on strong shooting numbers this year, and elbows his way into All-Star consideration as a 21-year-old.

And Simmons? He’ll be there too, no doubt: I don’t think last year was a fluke or anything, and I believe his numbers this year will be similarly eye-popping. But fit and chemistry may start to be a little more of a concern this year, especially as spacing gets cramped for these 76ers and Simmons’ refusal to shoot from anywhere outside of the paint devolves from frustrating to maddening."

If we're being fair to AU, he did also make some other predictions that might not piss you off. Spike and Mike also made theirs on the podcast. You can read all of them right here as you get ready for tonight's game.
