11月3日，据24直播网报道，ESPN知名记者Brian Windhorst与Tim MacMahon在《The Hoop Collective》的播客访谈中，对费城76人队本赛季的良好开局及其在关键比赛的出色发挥进行了深入探讨。
"According to Windhorst, the 76ers have amassed a 6-1 record, with all six victories secured in pivotal moments. A closer examination of their success in these tense contests reveals a roster brimming with exceptional talent. However, in their clash against the Hornets, both James and Embiid were absent. One of their key strengths lies in their rarity of committing turnovers; they currently hold the league's lowest turnover rate, and their defense is equally formidable. Despite ongoing adjustments in the center position, the team has managed to maintain this level of performance."
通常，一支队伍若吸纳了众多新面孔，尤其是几位顶级新援，往往难以在决定性时刻展现出卓越表现，毕竟建立默契需要一段过程。再者，这些新加入的球员之间尚在适应阶段，失误在所难免。然而，费城76人队却彻底颠覆了这一传统观念，他们在关键时刻的发挥堪称出色。我查阅了他们的净效率数据，尽管他们仅参与了19分钟的关键时刻比赛，因此我并不打算对这一数据作过度解读。然而，在这短短的19分钟内，他们的净效率值高达+34，累计净胜对手22分。
Admittedly, the sample size is relatively modest. Should you consult those who delve into basketball data analysis, they would affirm that early-season success in crucial moments does not guarantee sustained dominance for a team. Nonetheless, I anticipated that the 76ers might encounter some initial hurdles, given the abundance of players accustomed to handling the ball. The question of who should prioritize the offensive ballhandling arises, as does the challenge of fostering chemistry. Nonetheless, a 6-1 record stands as a 6-1 record.
