The Philadelphia 76ers did not end the 2021-22 season the way they wanted to. After acquiring James Harden at the deadline, the Sixers were hoping to put enough around Joel Embiid in order to properly contend for a title.
Instead, they fell in Round 2 for the fourth time in five seasons in six games to the Miami Heat and will be getting ready to try again in the 2022-23 season. A full offseason with Harden should help him integrate with the team and help the Sixers move forward again.
Now, is the time to review the past season and in this edition, Sixers Wire is going to start with the big fella. Embiid delivered an incredible season despite a ton of adversity thrown his way and he stepped up to every challenge, again and again, to be sure the Sixers were in a position to win and contend.
