After the Sixers second win of the season and a nail-biter in Utah, I feel reinvigorated about the rest of this season. I'm singing a happier tune in this week's mailbag. You can catch up on previous installments here.
@PhillyHeel26: Two minutes left, tie game. Which five do you play and why?
I would go with Ish Smith, Hollis Thompson, Robert Covington, Jerami Grant, and Nerlens Noel, because I think that's your best mix of both scoring and defense. Obviously, Smith is the best point guard on the team right now, and his ability to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates is a skill you need on the floor late in games.
