3 76ers bold predictions for 2024-25 NBA season
Here are three bold predictions for the 76ers’ 2024-25 season.
In the 2024-25 NBA season, the Philadelphia 76ers have the chance to rewrite the narrative their putrid playoff history has pinned on them. Joel Embiid got better again under a new head coach and is arguably the best player in the game when healthy. Tyrese Maxey’s upward trajectory has not tailed off. Adding Paul George to the equation should produce enough fireworks to rival Independence Day. The roster around them is adequate enough to make the 76ers better than they were last season.
At full strength, the Sixers should be one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. However, the caveat of being fully healthy will loom over them all season. Embiid is going to be even more cautious and George is already dealing with a knee issue. They have the assets to get better during the season but will probably do their best to coast through the regular season and turn it on in the postseason.
Here are three bold 76ers predictions for the 2024-25 season.
76ers post dominant offense but middle-of-the-pack defense
As it stands, the 76ers’ roster is set up to be a juggernaut on offense and a middling squad on defense. If Embiid and George weren’t assumed to be out for significant portions of the season, they could be a good pick to rank in the top five for offensive rating.
