I try to stay positive about the Sixers, but at what point are we supposed to be worried?

We have the most talented roster in the league (on paper) but are 5th/6th in the conference 1/3 of the way into the season. Besides the Bucks game, we have not looked good in the last 2 weeks...definitely not good enough for someone to look at and say "oh yea that's definitely a championship team". A lot of people will point to how we handled the Bucks as a reason for why we shouldn't be worried, but the Bucks aren't the only team we have to defeat in order to win a championship. I think we could have easily beat the Bucks last year too, but we couldn't get there.

For me, another second round playoff exit is unacceptable. In fact, I think this is the best year for us to win a championship. Sure, basketball is a competitive and often random sport, and the playoffs are usually wild. But I always thought a team like ours would be able to provide a little more certainty in talent and success.

I don't really have any solutions to offer, myself. I am firmly anti-trade ben and I don't think firing Brett is the answer either. I'm just at a loss at how this team can reach its full potential.
