Joel isn’t winning MVP, find a new slant?

Joel before vs. after his knee injury, is he the same player?

What do we make of the wonky, often all-bench rotations?

Is Doc not experimenting enough with his rotations?

The long “cavalcade of Sixers backup centers that can’t hang…”

I don’t think we’re ever gonna get to a point where we just turn the key and [Ben Simmons] is unlocked….”
