Still without Ben Simmons, the Sixers still have an excellent record on this exercise. What is the recipe for such success? Joel Embiid returned to the subject… all while stalling a tackle leaning on his teammate.

With a summer filled with drama and the soap opera Ben Simmons on the resumption, we thought that the Sixers would have some difficulties during this start to the season: it is not so. Joel Embiid's teammates are level with a current record of 8 wins for only 2 losses. The last result? A 114-105 victory over the Bulls, an equally in-form team.

In Philly, it's a collective that makes an impression. Embiid dominates the racket, Seth Curry martyrs the defenses from a distance, while Furkan Korkmaz impresses off the bench. Without Simmons or Tobias Harris out until further notice, it's safe to say that Doc Rivers' men are impressive.

The recipe for success of the Sixers according to Joel Embiid

But then how to explain such a series? How are the 76ers managing to exceed expectations so far? Embiid was asked to comment on the matter and according to him the answer is quite simple: the team plays together, with a clear direction. We can see a nice tackle against Simmons.

As we said, a tackle, because Simmons would have things to prove this season to reassure the teams about his level of play. In the end, the Australian prefers to stay on the sidelines, although the fines may force him to react.

But given the form of the team, is Simmons' return desirable? Without a doubt. However, be careful not to interfere too much with the current momentum, which is very good, as we can see against Chicago with 7 players with at least 10 points:

The problems start again at the Sixers with Joel Embiid, who has decided to go after Ben Simmons again. The latter does not want to make an effort, so the atmosphere promises to be tense with his teammates. A soap opera that will last a while yet.
