It’s too bad that Dario Saric’s first good performance as an NBA player had to end up in nothing but another 76ers loss. And not just any 76ers loss: this one could even be called “heartbreaking”.
Or maybe it can’t. Is it even possible to break a heart that has already been trampled and trod upon many times over by a succession of increasingly numbing losses? I doubt that Philly fans feel anything anymore, especially not for a meaningless game early in a meaningless season. It’s okay, guys. Christmas is just around the corner, and you can raise your spirits by throwing stuff at Santa again, just like old times!
We can probably get used to this for Saric. Decent individual performances among bad team performances. We lived with it when it came to Noel, and Okafor, and everyone else. That’s just how it will be until Ben Simmons starts playing (optimism!).
