In today's episode of The Sixers Beat, Rich and I open up the listener mailbag going over

questions ranging from Tobias Harris, his strong start to the season, and whether or not

that recalibrates our expectations of him.

Danny Green, his struggles and whether or not he could be washed, Seth Curry's long-term role

with the Sixers, and what in the heck is going on when Joelle and Bede is on the bench?

Enjoy the podcast.

All right, welcome everybody.

And what I was about to say was that some of these, like the last podcast, which we seemingly

just did like a couple days ago, are positive.

And we're like, hey, this should be a pretty positive podcast.

And then they went out there and got smoked by the previously three and 13 Detroit Pistons,

losing by 15 points. And quite frankly, it wasn't all that competitive.

Like, there was no point, like they kept making runs to get it back into like single digits but at no point did you ever feel like hey they have this they haven't they have a run in them they're going to come back they were just not competitive against a really bad basketball team but how you doing rich i'm I'm okay. I'm okay.

It's like, yeah, as far as NBA teams go, you know, obviously 82 games, there's going to be some shooting luck involved.

There's going to be some volatility. I can't imagine there's a team that really just goes from shit to pretty good, back to crap, then the Sixers.

I mean, some of these games without Embed, it's just like, it's not even like you can say,

okay, you know, the shots didn't fall or whatever.

Like, they're just not even close to competitive in these games.
