Fans of the Philadelphia 76ers were really hoping their team would claim a victory on Thursday night, putting them at a 1-1 record to start the season.
That wasn’t the case, as the 76ers fell to the Milwaukee Bucks and now sit at 0-2 after just two games.
This has not been a great start of the season for the championship hopefuls even though the team hasn’t looked horrible at any point.
Moral of tonight’s story:
The Sixers lost a winnable game, and James Harden appears to be “back” back.

In fact, there are some reasons to think that things could be getting better for the 76ers.
Zach Ciavolella put it best, saying, “Moral of tonight’s story: The Sixers lost a winnable game, and James Harden appears to be “back” back.”
Many people are saying that Harden looks better than he has in ages and the team really does still have a lot of promise so everyone shouldn’t be panicking just yet.
Losing A Winnable Game
Why is it good that the Sixers lost a “winnable” game?
Because it shows that they only need to tweak a few things to overcome and secure victories in matches like the one from Thursday night.
They were close to winning on Thursday and even came back from a big deficit.
They didn’t just give up and played hard as the game came to a close.
Meanwhile, Haden really does look impressive during his first two performances, scoring over 30 points each game and playing with speed, athleticism, and drive.
Philadelphia might be off to a bit of a rocky start but it’s clear that they are far from bad and could really have what it takes to get things together and start stringing together a lot of victories.
Still, fans are very nervous.
They want wins and they want them now.
