Sixers overreaction or appropriate panic? Assessing early storylines from a disappointing start

The Sixers are struggling on the defensive end of the court. They entered Tuesday ranked 26th in the league in most fastbreak points allowed (19.3 per game). Their coach, Doc Rivers, is now the favorite to be the first NBA coach fired. Kevin Durant wanted to get fired before returning to the team. The team has an NBA-worst 95 possessions a game. Maxey's scoring average is similar to last season's (17.5 points per games) but his shooting percentages and assist and rebounding numbers are down. He is coming off a 3-of-11 performance with zero trips to free-throw line.
