Thank you for covering a story that the sports media seems to be willfully ignoring after their breathless predictions over the summer of a championship for the Sixers with George now in tow. What did they call it then? Oh yeah, a "super team." The media now remind of the Lion from the Wizard of Oz, "c...c...courage."
To answer your question, do you know how this season can get worse? By thinking about next season when these two wildly overpaid players are a year older and more brittle. They better hope this season turns around. For now, I can't blame fans in Philadelphia for wondering to themselves from time-to-time, "should we have kept Harden and Simmons?"
However, you did miss one key element of this collapse in your write-up. When the face of the franchise spends time openly campaigning for the MVP award instead of a championship, only to then to complain about the 65-game minimum to win the award - you know you're in trouble. Priorities.
This is eerily reminiscent of early June when the betting markets said the Phillies would win 110 games and take the Series because Bryce's beard was so dope. Sometimes even the most ill-informed bets fail too.
Get ready, as I noted elsewhere this is gonna be interesting to watch unfold. Embiid to demand a trade out of Philly in 3-2-1...
