If you have ever looked at one of my Sixers articles and thought to yourself, "Man, that's a lot of words," the good news is you will be getting even more of those. The difference is now they're in the form of a podcast, they're spoken and not written, and you can receive them while driving in your car without posing a threat to yourself and everyone else around you.

We're back with another episode of The New Slant podcast, where we discuss Philadelphia getting off to a 5-1 start while still finding time for critique.

A brief rundown of the show:

  1. How serious of a problem is Ben Simmons' shot?
  2. Fan reaction to criticism of players they like 
  3. Al Horford excelling without Joel Embiid
  4. Raul Neto being your dad's favorite backup point guard
  5. Furkan Korkmaz finally emerging with a shot 
  6. Tobias Harris' defensive improvement
