In today's episode of the Sixers beat Rich and I go over the Sixers lost in Utah, which caps off a one-and-three road trip, then dive into the reader mailbag, talking about everything from

concern over the growing three-point disparity, whether or not Isaiah Joe should take

Furkan Korkma's spot in the rotation, shake Milton's reluctance to shoot from the perimeter,

and whether or not this year feels substantially different

than last year.

You know, it was, that certainly made my mood a little better.
