After winning their first four games to start the season, the Philadelphia 76ers have cooled off, losing three of their last four outings to fall to 5-3 through eight games. While that is still a good start all things considered, this recent stretch of theirs falls far short of the kind of basketball they have shown consistently to kickstart their campaign.
However, the 76ers have not been bereft of silver linings. One of those bright spots as of late despite their current brutal stretch is none other than Trendon Watford, who has given the team a much-needed boost on offense — an impressive feat given that he himself is coming off a rather long layoff due to injuries which kept him out of action since before the preseason.
