On this episode I am joined by Sixers Twitter friend @RansomCozzillio to discuss the Sixers weirdly disappointing 3-2 start to the season following another near collapse vs. the winless Detroit Pistons at home. All the depressing stuff that has happened to start the season had us thinking ... what if the Sixers just pulled off a sneak tank instead of killing their franchise player for a mid tier playoff seed and a likely first or second round exit? We are clearly doing so well mentally. We talked about the history of sneak tanking in the NBA, the highs and lows of pulling off a sneak tank, and how hard it would actually be to convince Morey, Doc and Embiid to actually go through with it .... but this is my podcast where I create my own reality so please just hang with me through this ridiculous fan fiction.
