De Bulls delivered the Sixers their last battle of the season on Sunday, when they defeated them 122-102 and put the last nail on their coffin. The 76ers campaign was downright disastrous, because most of their stars were recurring during the competition.
This is why President of Basketball Operations said Daryl Morey that he will be back this summer to “judge everything” and to prevent this happening again. “Of course a difficult season … Not where we expected to be,” he said during the press conference at the end of the season, together with Nick Nurse in Wells Fargo Center.
“We expect more. We really feel for the fans who put their heart and soul in this team, and we know we have abandoned you,” Morey added. “Ownership gave us the means to make aggressive movements this season to place a championship schedule around Joel [Embiid] and Tyrese [Maxey] And sometimes those aggressive movements don’t work in the first instance, but we feel good about it [them]. “
At the start of the season, Philadelphia believed that they would compete for the NBA title, but eventually had one of the worst records of the competition on 24-58. That is why it is a surprise that the president of the franchise has decided to continue to deposit his confidence in the nurse.
However, the failure to perform is understandable because injuries have plagued the Sixers schedules during the campaign, especially for Joel Embiid, who underwent artroscopic surgery on his left knee last week. The former League MVP was limited to 19 games, George to 41 and Maxey to 52.
Because these three stars shared the court in only 15 games and for less than 300 minutes in general, More was that they would all be “100%” next season.
“Finding out exactly the right next step to ensure that we can put him in the best way to help our team win a championship,” Daryl said. “It is not easy, and that is why you get different reports because you are one where you have to collect a lot of data and many opinions and then have to make the right choice.”
