76ers need better Harden, healthy Embiid to contend in East
Another question mark seems somewhat settled, James Harden wants to stay in Philly and the Sixers want him back. The Sixers lost in the Eastern Conference second round four times since 2018 โ once as a No. They havenโt advanced past the second round since 2001 and only twice (1985 the other) since winning their last NBA championship in 1983. Ten years ago, the Sixers were the plucky underdog that knocked off the top-seeded Bulls to reach the second round. Tired of the early exits, the 76ers soon launched the tirelessly debated Process that yielded Embiid but not much else.
