If you have a short attention span like me, I’ll save you the reading. The Sixers were first, the most watchable team in the entire NBA.
Basically, here’s the gist: they rank teams based on how “watchable” they are. The more fun you are to watch, with more captivating players and storylines, the higher you are. Technically, the Sixers tied with the Celtics but if you think this is a blog that will give Boston credit for anything, you have come to the wrong place.
Also technically, the Warriors were first, but they were SO good, that they got points deducted and were removed from first place. Imagine being that good. I get why that was done because as fun as their three point barrages are, the outcomes of their games are pretty much predetermined. Watching Golden State this season would be like if they told you where the plane went for 5 years in that Manifest show, before the show debuted.
Philadelphia, on the other hand, has the perfect mix of talent and unpredictably. The Sixers could be better than Boston or behind Toronto in the Eastern Conference standings. On top of that, they have two of the youngest stars in the league plus the return of Markelle Fultz will continue to be a polarizing story. I mean, we are freaking out about Markelle’s jump shots against Melbourne. Wait until they start playing actual games with actual shots against actual NBA defenses.
The important thing to point out here and all times for the rest of eternity, is that anyone who doubted The Process was completely wrong. They are morons. There is no bad time to keep reminding them how wrong they were while we were right. The narrative behind this team used to be “Will the fans ever come back from all this losing?” Now, the fans in our city not only came back, but every NBA fan base is excited to watch the Sixers play as well.
We were right. We were always right. And every proud owner of NBA League Pass will spend 82 nights knowing it.
