Perspective is always an important thing to have as a fan.
Sure, the Sixers’ inability to get out of the second round has been infuriating, but look at the team’s success relative to the Process era.
Since 2017-18, Ben Simmons’ rookie year, the Sixers have won 50 games in four of the last six seasons (it would’ve assuredly been five of six, and maybe even six of six, if not for COVID). They’ve won a playoff round in five of six seasons.
And they look poised to do both things again under Nick Nurse in 2023-24 —they’re off to their best 30-game start (21-9) since Allen Iverson led the team to the Finals in 2000-2001.
