The Philadelphia 76ers have shown us the full spectrum of who they are. They’ve played some absolute clunkers and lost to lottery bound teams. The Sixers have beaten quality teams, while showing noticeable room for growth. They’ve also looked like a juggernaut when they play with intensity and poise. If you let the Sixers turn you over, out rebound you, and exploit mismatches, you’re in for a long night.
Until they show clear signs of sustained improvement, the Sixers will operate in a funky grey area. They can struggle with teams that deserve to get blown out of the water, but they can also beat any team in the league.
