Well said, AU, I completely agree with you. I am ready to eat my words tonight in the event that they absolutely choke against the Bulls and something goes wrong. Still, something about last night gave me a glimmer of hope. If the Sixers sneak into the playoffs as the 10-seed (and ultimately advance to the 8-seed), I think there's a legitimate chance that with Embiid they can make some serious noise.

I’m with you, Andrew. You and Mike are real fans, it’s as simple as that. Spike? Not really. I hold onto hope and others on Liberty Ballers call me nuts. But this team still has too much talent to tank, and I claim the struggle was inevitable, especially with Jo out so many games. This squad was thrown together, and it takes a few months for a team like that to gel. It’s finally happening, even before the big fella is back. And hey, look, we have the 4 we’ve been forever looking for in Yabu and a rotation player in Edwards. And hoping Bona can replace Drum as the backup C soon. Yes, I’m a greedy fan, too

With respect, all of us are real fans and Spike has actually been far closer to my stance on this than Mike (who has been stridently pro-tank since Joel's latest injury update).

Admittedly, hadn’t listened to pod in a while. Yes, was disappointed to see Mike was pro-tank. The tankers will be back at it after two close losses, even though against top teams while Sixers had 6 rotation dudes in street clothes.
