Another enjoyable interview, Bill and Chet -- and Bob is a great guest. (Anyone reading this -- subscribe here to "PPR"!) Quick takes: Yeah, we're kind of wedded to Embiid: the amazing talent, the injuries, the pettiness and the drama. At 7-15...it was even worse...the Sixers will have to go 34-26 just to finish .500. I'm not expecting much for this year, but hope I'm wrong. Right now, .500 would get you an 8th seed. Play-in round, and then a series with #1 if you win that. Not easy. Birds? While I like Hurts, I think that Saquon - and a surprisingly good D - have elevated the team to 11-2. I''d love to see everything happen: Saquon (my favorite player in the league...he was even that as a Giant) get the rushing record and a better passing attack. We do need a little more balanced and less predictability. Could happen: Just get into the playoffs as a healthy, unified 2-seed. I also agree with his Phillies takes.
