Barely beating shorthanded COVID teams with an almost full roster is borderline embarassing.

Any Jaden Springer info out there? Another 1st rd bust for the sixers? Zhaire Smith even paying anywhere?

Cap, come on, the 76ers aren't fully healthy, either. I don't get this and it's coming from fans and beats.
The 76ers are missing their starting SF, their best 6th man and backup PG, as well as their backup center. Harris, Curry & Korkmaz aren't fully recovered from the Covid episodes. They also don't have Simmons, still. This roster has holes, it's small, slow and unathletic. Their saving grace is Embiid and an overall high basketball IQ for the team. They can beat hyper athletic teams who are inexperienced, but it will be a grind. The Raptors had the 76ers if they kept driving to the basket, but they kept throwing up 3s and missed, then Niang went on his 8-0 run, Curry made one, Embiid made one and they got some space.
These teams that have these athletes are gonna give the 76ers fits. They'll beat the inexperienced ones and lose to the more experienced teams.
A win is a win these days.
