Are we sleeping on the Philadelphia 76ers?

It feels like this team has been somewhat written off as a serious contender after finishing fourth in the East last season. But look at the bigger picture and the overall roster, and there’s a lot to like here.

Let’s go backward before we go forward: Philly was the top seed in the East two years ago before an inexplicable meltdown against Atlanta in the second round of the playoffs, and then last season ended up wasting much of an MVP campaign by Joel Embiid while sorting out the Ben Simmons saga.

The Sixers blitzed Toronto in the first round, 4-2, before succumbing to Miami in the second round.
