On this episode I opened by ranting about the Sixers second embarrassing loss of the season, this time against the New York Knicks. I touched on Embiid playing through injury and the Ben Simmons haters/stans. Hang with me as I just let the thoughts flow baby. Next me and @Nihilist_Bucks spit some hot takes about the first week of the NBA season. They’re over the top and absurd but deep down we really believe them at least a little bit. We talked about the Lakers, Thunder, Pacers (?), Heat, Nets, Bucks, Raptors and Sixers. Also can’t wait until everyone clips these in a month and we sound like total idiots. Some already aged poorly! Enjoy!
