MahoneyWhat's your,

Lowewhat's your Philly, just general optimism, pessimism scale, Rob

MahoneyMahoney?

MahoneyQuite optimistic. I just think, I think there's almost too much there for it not to work at a pretty high level.

MahoneyAnd I trust, I think the LeBron component that you explained with Jason Kidd is kind of why I believe in it so much. If it was just Jalen Brown and Maxie and Edgerman and B, that's a really nice team maybe in some ways makes like cleaner sense but you need the the macro processor at the center of it to help make sense of so many of these possessions and get the ball where it needs to go and reroute things

Mahoneythat aren't quite working and I just think LeBron is going to make a huge difference for this team

LoweI am higher than uh I'd like to be on the Sixers as as I said last week when I when I force myself to do my own thought exercise of if I have to pick someone other than the Knicks to make the finals out of the East, who would I pick? I looked at every team and I was like, well, I'm going to throw up in my mouth a little bit and pick the Sixers because I'm like Fox Mulder.
