New: I dove into a host of numbers that help define and explain the Sixers’ awful 2-10 start to the season.
In this week’s Sunday stats, a look at the significant troubles of Joel Embiid, Paul George, Kyle Lowry, Ricky Council IV and Eric Gordon:

Jared McCain continues to be the lone beacon of light amid a dreadful start to the Sixers’ season.
But, a team output of 14 points in the fourth quarter with Joel Embiid and Paul George available is unacceptable.
The Sixers are 2-10 @OnPattison:

Jared McCain is at it again. Two threes and a putback layup early in the second half. Second three turned into a combined four-point play with Embiid. 9-0 Sixers run here. – 8:31 PM

Sixers are doing so much better of a job getting the ball to Embiid down low right now. Noticeable change from the Knicks game. – 7:50 PM

Sixers trail Orlando 24-21 after one. Embiid had 10 points, but had a few sloppy plays and a pair of turnovers. – 7:38 PM

Inside a minute left in the first quarter, the Sixers have Jared McCain at point guard playing alongside Gordon/Oubre/Yabu/Embiid. – 7:35 PM

Embiid already looks so much more comfortable being forceful with his legs in this game. Considerably less rusty already. – 7:20 PM

A much better start for Joel Embiid, who hits a post fade on his first shot attempt. – 7:13 PM

Jalen Suggs has the Jared McCain assignment. Franz Wagner on Paul George. Goga Bitadze on Joel Embiid.
George finds Embiid on the first possession, and Embiid draws a foul on Bitadze. – 7:12 PM

Kelly Oubre Jr. has started his last 37 games (including last postseason). Have always believed his optimal role is as a reserve, but I also believe his minutes should be tied to Joel Embiid as much as possible — and do feel the latter is more important than the former. – 6:35 PM

More on this storyline
The Philadelphia 76ers have been waiting 3½ weeks to get a full 33 minutes out of Joel Embiid. They finally got it Friday night, but it came in a 98-86 loss to the Orlando Magic that dropped the 76ers to 2-10. “Usually with me it takes two or three or four games to get to myself. Today was a big step in the right direction,” Embiid said after finishing with 20 points and eight rebounds in a game that got away from the 76ers in the fourth quarter. “We’re a new group. We were just not organized. I thought our defense was fine, but starting with me we started turning the ball over. Offensively, we were indecisive. Stuff that we can fix.” -via ESPN / November 16, 2024
Noah Levick: Andre Drummond (illness) is not at Sixers shootaround, remains questionable vs. Magic. Joel Embiid and Paul George both there, are set to play their second game together tonight. -via Twitter @NoahLevick / November 15, 2024
Thanks to Donovan Mitchell pouring in 13 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers became the sixth team in NBA history to win at least 13 consecutive games to begin a season by claiming a 114-106 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, who were without All-Stars Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Joel Embiid. “We’re just sticking together,” said Darius Garland, who led Cleveland with 25 points. “Just taking it game by game. We know we’ve got a target on our back, so we’ve got to come in with that aggressiveness and that confidence that we’re going to win every game, and that’s what we’ve been doing. Even though like I said, long nights, not a lot of sleep, but we’ve got to stay together and just continue just to be great. That’s what we’re trying to do.” -via ESPN / November 14, 2024
