The Year of the Fox
Philly Frills: 4/06/2024
The 76ers
season is over, but it meant a fairytale run finishing 3rd in the
East and getting through to the 2nd Round of the playoffs before
being stopped dead in their tracks, with no answer, for the Shai led Milwaukee
Bucks. But that shouldn’t put a dampener on what the Sixers were able to achieve
this year. They were met with the devastating news that their starting Center
was to miss the entire season, days before the start of the year, which had
many pundits suggesting they were dead in the water before it even started.
But, they found way, with their platoon of solid yet non-inspirational big men,
and on the shoulders of their franchise player, DeAaron Fox.
None of this
seasons success would have been possible without Fox. He missed only 8 games on
the year, and the team went 0-8 in those games, despite often having other star
players available in those games. They went 52-22 with him on the court as he
was unstoppable in his own right, but also lifted the team to different heights
around him. The team make up just worked with him running the show.
In the scheme
of things, the season Fox had will go down as an afterthought on the whole
outside the franchise. He won’t win any individual awards. The team got bundled
out in the 2nd round, and the questions will fly about how the team
can better themselves for next year, more than looking at what he did. He
averaged nearly 35 points with 6 assists and 3 rebounds, shot nearly 50% from
deep and in the series they were expunged from, he was averaging over 40 before
a “quiet” 30 point game to end the season.
So, in the
wake of their most successful season to date, winning the division title and
topping 50 wins, this one will be remembered by the 76er faithful, even if it
won’t amount to much in the history of the league. This, the year of the Fox.
Good luck
Milwaukee in the next round!
