How To: Watch a Philadelphia 76ers Game Without Feeling Perpetual Sadness
So, the Philadelphia 76ers are currently paying over $586,000,000 for the services of Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, and Joel Embiid.
What are the results of the first seven games of the NBA season? Well, Embiid hasn’t played and has been suspended three games for a violent interaction with a local sports reporter. George, meanwhile, has only played two games, and Maxey, who has been performing great, will be out for the next two weeks with a hamstring injury.
With the 76ers currently at 1-6, how can a fan turn on a game and not feel an overwhelming sense of sadness about the team’s state? Here’s how!
1: Think about the 2013-14 76ers and realize it could always be worse: Pretty self-explanatory, but that team’s best player was checks notes Evan Turner? Michael-Carter Williams? Thad Young? The thought makes me shudder.
2: Realize the season is still very young: The season is currently just under 9% of the way done; still plenty of basketball left for the team to get healthy and figure it out!
3: Remember Ben Simmons is not on the payroll: Smile and laugh at the Brooklyn Nets (whatever you do, DON’T look at the Nets record currently.)
4: Note that the Milwaukee Bucks are also 1-6: They have Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, and they’re going to be okay right? RIGHT??
5: Remember that the “Big 3” is signed under contract until 2027-28: Cry and get ready for a couple more years of trusting the process.
