Philadelphia 76ers: NBA's most important team

BASKETBALL SLEUTH

THE most important team in the NBA right now is the Philadelphia 76ers. This is not saying they are the best team, but that's not too far off.

The Sixers were a forgotten team after they faltered in the NBA Playoffs like the Brooklyn Nets. They lost to the Miami Heat, and the fancied James Harden-Joel Embiid tandem looked pedestrian, and with Embiid's candid comments, almost faltered.
