Currently the team has a below average offense and a slightly below average defense. In terms of Moreyball, they are slightly above average on 3pt fga but slightly below average on ftas and at the rim shot rate. Their record is one game above .500 before tonight's game. Plenty of room for improvement. Outside a currently hot starting lineup, they are losing the rest of the game on average by 4 points.

Starting unit goes plus 17 tonight. Rest of rotation, minus 11. One thing figured out. Wasn't what they started season with.

Sixers top 10 on 4 factors, bottom 10 on other 4. An improvement from earlier but the remaining flaws are pretty deep and haven't changed much, if any.
