Daily News | The Sixers are about to show us who they are
. Sometimes, the best therapy is a little distance. Not that we’re having problems. It’s just that, after six years together, things can start to feel a little stale. Don’t get me wrong. We still love each other. But a lot of times when we’re together, I close my eyes and pretend they are the Milwaukee Bucks.
At the same time, a lot of people seem underwhelmed by these Sixers. It’s not just a local phenomenon, either. Look at Embiid. A year ago, he entered the All-Star break as the favorite to win MVP. Two years ago, he was right there, too. This year, he is scoring 2.5 more points per game than where he finished in 2021-22. He is on pace to finish the season with career highs in field goal percentage, free throw percentage, effective field goal percentage, and minutes per game.
I’m not saying that I completely subscribe to that line of reasoning. But it is valid, and it speaks to the question that the Sixers need to answer over these next four or five months. Is a year-and-a-half really enough time for a team to become a team, let alone a championship team? One thing I’ve heard a lot of people say is that this Sixers team seems to be missing something, and that the thing that they are missing is the same thing they always seem to be missing.
