Have the Sixers really been much better than they were in two of the past three seasons? Meh.
Listen to me talk to @SpikeEskin and @SixersCEOAdamAron about the state of the Sixers.
On air with Spike Eskin, Sixers CEO Adam Aron said some highly startling things.
Jodie Meeks scores 31 points and leads the Sixers past the Cavs 103-85
Jodie M3333333KS! 31 points, 11-16 shooting, 7-10 from three. Jrue's chipped in with 19 points (on 19 shots) and 6 as well. Hawes added 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, Lou with 11 points...

If the Sixers are to seriously contend, they'll need a big man. Trading one of Iguodala/Jrue/Turner is the fastest way to get one.
