The now .500 Sixers were brought back to life by Joel Embiid's absolutely amazing two way performance on Sunday night vs. the Utah Jazz. Embiid returned to MVP form with a near 60 point quadruple double where he picked apart the Jazz scoring at will and setting up his teammates in a way we have never seen before. He also returned to his elite form on the defensive end as a rim protector and pick and roll defender vs. one of the best early season offenses in the NBA. Part of me was extremely excited to see Embiid dominate and another part of me was concerned that we still need these kind of performances in order to win games! But the Sixers are back on track with Harden returning in 2-3 weeks and should be fighting for a top four seed in the East moving forward. After the Embiid and Sixers discussion we discussed the Golden State Warriors who are currently struggling to start the season. We talked about this being the potential end of their dynasty and whether a trade could save them before going over a handful of fake trades involving disappointing prospects James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga. Enjoy.
