Summary

The Sixers lost a heartbreaker to the Hawks in double overtime in the return of Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe. We talk about Maxey's great night, the return of Edgecombe, and good performances from Grimes and Barlow. Then we talk about the frustrating "will he or won't be play" Joel Embiid situation, and his disappointing rebounding and defense and what it means for their future. Then we meet Mike's new dog, get a frustrated email from a lister, and become a Florida State University football podcast.

We're just doing two steps forward and then two steps back to sit again, but it's progress. Helen's even watching basketball with me again and even asking for basketball on days they're not playing.
