Every October, I am very excited when the NBA comes back. No matter how uninspiring the matchup, every League Pass game feels like it’s worth watching. And when the Sixers get back on the floor, I want to write about 10,000 words on the first game.
Luckily for you, dear reader, that won’t happen. It’s only Game 1 of 82, and as Joel Embiid reminds us every time he steps in front of a microphone, this thing is a process. The 120-115 loss in Washington D.C. on Wednesday night was an entertaining game that had both good and bad from a Sixers standpoint.
