We have reached the unofficial halfway point of the season (more like the two-thirds mark, technically), having slogged our way through inane Joel Embiid or Ben Simmons national media debates, Ben shooting a couple legitimate 3s like a duel viewing of Halley’s comet, another freak Joel injury (thinking of his finger bent like that still grosses me out), endless calls to fire Brett Brown, cries to bring Al Horford off the bench (which, hey, people are right sometimes), and all the other Sixers-related drama that you wouldn’t believe if you didn’t bear witness to it. I feel exhausted just thinking about everything that has transpired since the start of the season and we’re only in mid-February.
