The “Broad Street Bullies”: The 76ers Are Quickly Establishing a Fierce Identity

After years of rotating through players, shuffling around draft picks, and changing front office personnel left and right, the Philadelphia 76ers are finally establishing a form of identity. Following a 4-0 start which included a dominant season-opening win against the Boston Celtics, the stat sheets are quickly showing a trend of basketball that Philly is attempting to play.

Through four games, the Sixers currently rank first in the NBA in steals per game, rebounds per game, post-ups per game, and loose balls recovered per game. Additionally, they rank third in blocks per game, second in personal fouls per game, fourth in deflections, and sixth in offensive paint touches.
