The Philadelphia 76ers are a burden to watch, especially on the road, which is disappointing when one considers the talent available and the expectations tied to the 2019-20 season. The Sixers should be fun. They should be a contender. Right now, they’re neither.
When the dust settles, I still expect the Sixers to put up a good fight in the Eastern Conference. As currently constructed, however, it’s difficult to picture Philadelphia beating Milwaukee four out of seven times. Heck, it’s difficult to see Philadelphia beating Miami four out of seven times.
The Sixers shouldn’t panic, but at the same time, it’s no longer “too early” to reevaluate.
