Daily News | Sixers back on short list of NBA commodities as schedule bets big on Joel Embiid, James Harden
story of Schedule DayThere aren’t a whole lot of uncontrived insights that one can glean from the slate of games that the NBA released on Wednesday afternoon. We already knew the identity of the Sixers’ 82 opponents. The only question was the order in which the games would be played. But, hey, if logistics are your thing, go on and have a day.Otherwise, let’s try to zero in on the small handful of notable takeaways from the Sixers’ 2022-23 schedule.
The Sixers? They took a bit of a break. But they are clearly back now, as evidenced by the NBA’s decision to make them one of the first two teams they will introduce to a national television audience this season. The Sixers open up the season on Oct. 18 in Boston against the Celtics on TNT, opening tip at 7:30 p.m. There are only two questions.
Given the pace of the NBA news cycle, the current state of play probably feels far less remarkable than it should. Imagine if somebody had told you last year at this time that the Celtics and Heat would be vying for Durant, and that the Sixers would already have Harden, and that Irving would also be on his way out of Brooklyn. Yet, here we are.
Until we get beyond here, I’m not sure how much we can actually say about this schedule. The whole thing hinges on where Durant ends up, and how everybody adapts from there. Maybe he stays in Brooklyn. In which case, that completely changes how the Nets fit into the grand scheme of this thing. For now, the Sixers can at least take comfort in the fact that their roster is as settled as any of the contenders. The NBA is certainly buying it.
