Once listed among the Summer League favorites, the Philadelphia 76ers now sit at 1-2 through three games in Vegas. Monday afternoon was a long, partially exciting game in the Cox Pavilion, which featured painstakingly bad basketball and the comeback that ensured.
Facing the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Sixers were down 52-26 at halftime. It was an ugly first half — Shake Milton got hurt, Norvel Pelle was a mess and the offense stalled in typical Sixers fashion. It was a strong reminder of how important dribbling is.
The Sixers’ Summer rotation features the same limitations that have plagued Philadelphia in the past and that threaten to plague Philadelphia again this season.
