The 2023-24 Philadelphia 76ers are tired of waiting.
Tired of waiting to make it past the second round of the playoffs. Tired of waiting till the trade deadline to move off of Joel Embiid’s disgruntled co-star. And perhaps most importantly, they got tired of waiting so long to get into their offense.
The following argument must be prefaced with this — the Sixers had a great offense with James Harden and Doc Rivers.
During their one full season together in the City of Brotherly Love, the Sixers averaged 118.3 points per 100 possessions, which was good for the third-most efficient offense in the NBA during the 2022-23 season according to Cleaning the Glass.
