The first calendar month of the NBA season is over as October rolls over to November and everyone with an interest in the Philadelphia 76ers takes a long sigh and hopes this month brings better things. A 4-4 record through eight games isn’t terrible — if you want to see a terribly disappointing start, take a gander at the Rockets — but it still hasn’t been easy to swallow for a team that most people picked to be the third best in the East. It also doesn’t help that Philadelphia has lost fairly convincingly to the two teams, Boston and Toronto, who were predicted to finish in the East’s top two spots.
