Moral Victory! [Mortal Kombat Voice]
Just Like The Good Old Days
If you were here for the days of the true Process (you were here, right?), you remember the moral victories. Sure, we lost by 17 to the Pacers, but Hollis Thompson did go 5-8 from three! We did lose to the Warriors, but Isaiah Canaan did keep it close with that four-point play in the fourth! We ran these moral victory streets.
Now, we all expect real victories. That is, except Andrew Unterberger.
"Spike and Mike halfheartedly debated on the last RTRS pod whether moral victories are still a thing with this Sixers squad. I generally agree with their sorta-consensus conclusion that they aren’t -- particularly as someone still 999,998 Ws short on my “Sixers will win a million games this year” prediction -- but I may still be a ways from wins and losses being the only (or even the main) things that matter. I still have too much fun with the numbers, still get too excited to check Basketball-Reference for updated PPGs and PERs the day after a big performance like it’s Christmas morning. Wins are good -- I like wins -- but Joel Embiid scoring 30 points in four straight games still makes me unequivocally happy, no further context needed."
Read the rest of "Does The Sixers Losing Even Matter When Joel Embiid Scores 30 Points," right here. And even though we started this off by casting the desire to settle for moral victories off on AU, we all miss them a little bit, right?
Bad News, Good News
The bad news is that it's supposed to rain A LOT on Saturday, which is the same day our friends at the Providence Animal Center were supposed to have Bark In The Park. The good news is that it's being postponed till November 10th so we don't have to have a dog costume contest in torrential rain and 20 mph winds, thereby giving you more time to donate to help get us and them to our goals.
You've even got some more time to join our team! Providence's goal for donations is $75,000, and the goal for our team is $15,000. They're at $56,000 and we are at $11,979. Join the team or donate right here. Providence is a no-kill animal shelter in Media, PA that can exist only because of donations. Do the right thing. And more information to come, but on 11/10 at 1:30pm we're going to have a Colony Meadery afterparty at the Sterling Pig just minutes away from Bark In The Park. Come out and drink some mead!
Ways To Waste Time At Work
Did you even listen to Wednesday's pod? The guys talked about whether Fultz should be playing in crunch time, Dario's struggles and a potential Kemba Walker trade. Check it out.
Who was Ben Simmons talking about?
You'll have to email us and let us know if you think this banning is a fair one.
Spike doubled (tripled) down on his LeBron takes and he put them in print.
Buy a Big Barker, some jewelry from LL, mead from Colony Meadery ($5 off with promo code RICKY), if you're hurt at all and you think someone else might be at fault or maybe need to trademark "lickface," call Kornblau, or if you want a pair of new Chucks or Vans or a Thrasher hoodie get it from Kinetic (9.1% off your first order with promo code DAVESILVER). All of our sponsors are local businesses run by those who trusted the process who support the pod and allow us to exist in this way and also donate to our charities. They are good people with good businesses who we believe in.
