Sixers Despite owning best record in East, identity-seeking Sixers have 'more to give' Sixers Will the real 76ers please stand up? We are a third of the way through the season and the first-place Sixers have navigated some of the protruding landmines in this new NBA, but do they still suffer from the lack of a solid identity that might hurt them in the long run? Does it even matter as long as they continue to win? Yes and yes.

3 observations after star performance from starting lineup originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia The Sixers extended their undefeated mark with their full starting lineup to a perfect 13-0 Saturday at Wells Fargo Center after a 124-108 against the Brooklyn Nets. BK’s high-octane offensive attack, boasting an NBA-best 122 points per game, was not running on all cylinders with the New Yorkers missing both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving who were ruled out before the game.

The Sixers are probably still licking their wounds a bit ahead of Saturday night's South Philly showdown with the Brooklyn Nets. The team showed it hasn't quite turned the corner in playing down to the competition in Thursday's loss to a depleted Portland team with none of its superstars and only nine available players.
