There were a couple major themes at Philadelphia 76ers media day. One was defense, and how the team views success on that end. One was asking Ben Simmons relentlessly about his jumper. On the whole, however, one theme stood above the rest — championship aspirations.
It’s abundantly clear what the Sixers expect in 2019-20. They want to win, and they want to win now. The Raptors series is fresh in the mind of those returning. The new arrivals — Al Horford and Kyle O’Quinn, specifically — are desperate to contend for a title.
