Happy New Year in Philly
Philly Frills: 16/01/2023
It�s been a
tough few weeks for the 76ers after starting out with a 10-7 record. Their
leading scorer, Andrew Wiggins, went down and the team if not for a 3-1 week
this past week, would be waning below .500 as a result.
The team has
had a handful of outs over the last few weeks, after starting the season pretty
healthy, and it�s shown in the results and line ups. Scoring is an issue when
DeAaron Fox doesn�t seem to have the same kick he had last year, despite the improvements
to his NBA game, and he�s actually scored less since Wiggins has been out which
is baffling!
The team has
had to rely on a defensive grit which still sees them average only 1 point more
against than the best unit in the East, and still a +1 point differential, despite
losses of 40-ish points occurring twice in the season and the record only being
15-14. Simply put, they stay in games in most cases and manage to strangle
teams when they win.
Possibly the
biggest test for the team is about to happen in week 8 when Steven Adams sits
out his first week of the season, joining Wiggins. Adams has been a monster
averaging 6.2 Offensive rebounds and 17 rebounds total and this has been a big
factor in keeping them in games. They are averaging 5 more offensive rebounds
per game than their opponents because of him. How will the team fair with the
sophomore, Day�Ron Sharpe, manning the middle while still missing their scoring
pop?
Thankfully,
it should only be a week for Adams, and Wiggins is due back for week 9 also.
The team has to ride through the week on hand though first before counting some
chickens and hopefully continuing on the track to push for a non-play in spot.
