The Philadelphia 76ers will head down to Orlando with championship dreams just like everyone else. But the difference between them and teams like the Portland Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers is that the 76ers could walk away with the Larry O’Brien. Can anything stop them?
There are no clear favorites in the NBA this season. And with the league being suspended for the past few months, the gap between teams like the 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and the Milwaukee Bucks has shrunk.
In order for the 76ers to make a move, everyone must be on the same page. Before the break in play, the Philadelphia 76ers limped their way to a record of 39-26. While it justifies a winning regular season, the team was not as dominant as they should have been.
The break should have provided the team with the necessary time needed to regain their composure.
