Who would have thunk it? Almost a quarter of the way through the season and the Nets have a better record (10-8) than the Sixers (9-11) in spite of Philly's acquisiton of All-Star Elton Brand in the off-season. Poor shooting has hurt the Sixers who also have slowed down with Brand in the lineup. In fact, the Sixers beat the Pistons Friday with Brand sitting out because of a strained hamstring. He won't play Saturday either.
