The Sixers got a much-needed win to beat the Boston Celtics on opening night, flashing the elite defense many believe can make them a legitimate title contender this season. On a new episode of "The New Slant," we react to Philly beating their most hated rival on opening night.

A brief rundown of the show:

  1. Reaction to Philadelphia's defensive toughness on night one
  2. The luxury of getting Embiid more rest
  3. Ben Simmons playing with a chip on his shoulder
  4. Richardson's debut
  5. Who is the most "Philly guy" on the team?
  6. Role player contributions
