Change and unusual circumstances could limit the Philadelphia 76ers’ success.
The 2020 offseason has been a positive string of events for the Philadelphia 76ers. Doc Rivers and Daryl Morey have patched up a sinking ship, and the Sixers are now sailing much smoother waters. That said, too much excitement could set the fanbase up for disappointment. It’s wise to temper expectations.
Is Rivers a clear upgrade over Brett Brown at head coach? Yes. Will Morey’s reshaped roster — which has placed a premium on shooting around Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons — make for a more functional offense?
