The Philadelphia 76ers are pissed off.
Philadelphia became subject to criticism and pity as each critical injury dug it deeper into an inescapable hole. Joel Embiid and Paul George were in an undesirable spotlight as they each dealt with setbacks. This was much to the dismay of fans who saw the Philadelphia Eagles hoist a Super Bowl trophy within the same timeframe.
The 76ers had the most disappointing season in franchise history and are determined to shed their traumatic weight and implement a culture that stands regardless of who is on the floor. Philadelphia is well-positioned to bounce back in an Eastern Conference that lacks a dominant force.
