This past week has been rough. The Philadelphia 76ers, seemingly primed for a top-five seed not too long ago, have now lost four straight and sit at a meddling .500 on the season. For a team with so many high expectations, thier recent fall has led to some irrational takes throughout the fanbase.
Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons are special, and this team finally has the talent level to compete. Being upset at their recent fall is understandable. That doesn’t mean, however, that this Sixers team is in a bad spot moving forward.
