The Sixers were the first team from the Atlantic Division to make the NBA Finals after the Lockout, and it was due primarily to the man in the picture above me, Allen Iverson (sure, the shotblocking combo og Dikembe Mutombo and Theo Ratliff was also responsible, but AI was still a force in 01). Thusly, most of their roster is from that era (wassup, Matt Geiger?).

Lots of shotblocking defense on this team. Where/when will Matt Geiger play? Would anyone care? The most noticeable flaw on this team is the lack of scoring in the post. No offense to Kenny Thomas, but I'm not sure he'd be my number one option in a theoretical tournament of this magnitude. Still, Philly looks like they'd do so damage.
