76ers have a top record with a weakness that should correct itself soon

The Sixer Sense argues that the Philadelphia 76ers' top-ranked record will become even more formidable once their shooting percentages normalize. Despite holding a 6-1 record to lead the Eastern Conference, Philadelphia ranks 23rd in offensive rating and has the league's fifth-worst shooting percentage on wide-open three-pointers at just 29.9 percent.

Writer Nicolas Kyle Pring notes that the Sixers have masked their perimeter struggles through a fourth-ranked defense, winning all five of their games that reached crunch time. The report anticipates that key contributors including Joel Embiid, LeBron James, Dean Wade, and VJ Edgecombe will eventually see their below-average three-point percentages improve.
