--. Previous: . Philadelphia 76ers. 30. team. 93. There’s a very good chance you will see the Philadelphia 76ers in this spot each and every single week of the 2014-15 season. Philly opens with two normally beatable opponents in the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks, but they’re both on the road and, again, this team is going to be terrible. Watching <del>Gerald from Hey! Arnold</del> Nerlens Noel play will be a nice distraction, as will Joel Embiid’s strong Twitter game. <p> </p> <p>But this team is going to struggle to reach double-digit wins this season. Consider this: In 2013-14, the Sixers opened the season 3-0…and proceeded to go 16-63 the rest of the way. With Michael Carter-Williams most likely out for the first two weeks of the season, the Sixers are essentially NBA League Pass ebola right now — avoid them at all costs.</p>
