Sport: NBAPick Selection: Philadelphia @ Toronto: 76'ers
The Raptors open the season with a target on their back as they come into this season as the defending Atlantic Division champions. However, Philadelphia will also try to build off its strong finish to 2006-07 when the teams meet at Air Canada Centre on Wednesday. Philadelphia may not be as deep, but it learned how to play without Iverson after he was dealt to Denver last Dec. 19th in a six-player trade. They were 5-18 at the time of the trade and went 12-18 in their first 30 games after, but finished strong after the break to end with a 35-47 record and a third-place finish in the Atlantic. I look for the 76?ers to keep this one close against a complacent Raptors squad; I recommend a play on PHILADELPHIA!
