The 76ers did not hire Daryl Morey to lead the front office and Doc Rivers to lead the team on the court to just make the playoffs each year. But with the (Philadelphia) Sixers they had a dynamic trio in Tobias (Harris), (Joel) Embiid, and (Ben) Simmons You look at Embiid in and out (of the lineup), Tobias dealing with COVID-19, and Ben Simmons not playing at all, it's a miracle that they are 13-11 and seventh place in the Eastern Conference.Truly the Sixers are a mess and they went from a Contender in a space with the Bucks and Nets, (now) they're a team trying to make it into the playoffs so it's a bit disconcerting."įor some people, the word "disconcerting" may be a strong word, but I think it's some tough love for an organization that cannot afford to sit on their hands.

Of course, one of those teams who need to make decisions includes the Philadelphia 76ers who are themselves 13-11 and on Monday night struggled to defeat a Charlotte Hornets teams that was without their best player and major contributors on their roster. Before NBA action on Tuesday, teams like Portland at 11-14, Minnesota at 11-13, and others who are outside the top six in their conference standings are going to have to start making decisions about whether they need to start making moves to stay in contention.
