Philadelphia 76ers basketball is back! And as hard to watch as ever.
After months and months of waiting, we finally were able to watch a Philadelphia 76ers game that mattered again. What we were greeted by was exactly what we should’ve expected. A frustrating display of basketball. Maybe we shouldn’t have been excited after scrimmages…
A very nice outing from Joel Embiid was thwarted by the absolute barrage from T.J Warren, whose 53 points ruined the 76ers’ return to somewhat normality. It was a night of typical Philadelphia basketball. Too many turnovers, and the one job was to stop one man and it just couldn’t be done.
Let’s take a look at who played well and who didn’t.
There has to be something fixed by the next game if this organization expects a championship run. Fewer turnovers, capitalize on the opponent’s mistakes more, and so on.
As stated previously, Embiid was phenomenal tonight and carried the team, per usual. He also had an epic one-hand reverse jam, followed by a perfect celebration.
