After two games against their top opponents in the Eastern Conference, and two of the league’s best defenses, the Sixers are 0-2 to start their 2022-23 campaign.
The Sixers clearly have a ton of offensive potential this season, but they haven’t been at their best just yet. A lackluster first two games from Joel Embiid has been at the forefront of this so far. He simply hasn't looked nearly as sharp as his MVP-runner-up self, at either end of the floor. And on offense he’s committed some careless turnovers and forced some bad shots in isolation.
