Coming off a disappointing season last year which ended with a disastrous 27-55 record, Andre Iguoadala and the Sixers are hoping for a major step forward in 2010-11. Thus, the Philadelphia 76ers will make their way to Massachusetts to take on Paul Pierce and the Boston Celtics on Wednesday at 11:30 p.m. GMT.

The Celtics on the other hand made it all the way to the NBA Finals where they were defeated by the Los Angeles Lakers in a highly contested seven-game series. Considering that one crucial issue was Kendrick Perkins' injury in the series with the Lakers, GM Danny Ainge decided to boost Boston's front-court in the off-season. More specifically, the franchise from New England acquired former All-Star Jermaine O'Neal from the Miami Heat as well as future Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Moreover, rookie forward-center Semih Erden from Turkey will join the group and could see some playing time if he continues to work on his offensive game. Therefore, it appears to be questionable whether the Sixers will be able to avoid a loss versus the team around Paul Pierce on Wednesday night. Ultimately, the Celtics do not only have more individual talent on board but are also much more efficient on the defensive end of the floor than Philly.
