And welcome on this Thursday, where it's still Jared McCain-Mania after last night's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

But the vibes have been good around the young fella as we try to figure out what his role is going to be going forward, even when the Big Three return.

We watched that for three years here on the other side of it with the process sixers. So it's not the fact that game was close. That was fun. It was how that was close. And it really is, I'm in a weird spot,
