Where do the Philadelphia 76ers rank among the NBA’s best teams after three weeks?
Despite some tough early losses, the Philadelphia 76ers are beginning to look like an Eastern Conference contender. The Raptors and Celtics are still a tier above, but Joel Embiid’s rapid development might push the Sixers closer than some fans expected.
Elsewhere in the NBA, Stephen Curry is doing MVP things, Jimmy Butler is still on the Timberwolves, the Rockets need to trade for Jimmy Butler, and the Wizards need to blow it up. That, and much, much more.
After three weeks, the standings are beginning to take shape. Plenty will change over the next 70+ games (obviously), but the contenders are becoming evident. Likewise, those toward the bottom are beginning to fall off (except the Kings, who should still end up toward the bottom, but who knows).
