Have you ever felt like a 6-5 person? You know, like you’re doing well, but not as well as you know you could be doing. A better break here, a better performance there, and you could easily be an 8-3 person, feeling as if your predicted greatness is progressing according to plan. But you’re 6-5, just barely better than breaking even, wondering if and when you’ll pull it together and turn into that 8-3 person you know you’re not far from being.
That’s where the Philadelphia 76ers currently stand. They’re 6-5, although another break or two in that first game against the Detroit Pistons in addition to actually showing up against the Brooklyn Nets and they could easily be 8-3.
