Joel Embiid had another 40-point performance against Boston on Wednesday, adding to his early campaign for league MVP. The big man has carried the team on his back more this year than he has in the past. We discuss that and also talk about what our adjusted expectations are for Ben Simmons, who the Sixers second best player is and what teams are overperforming and underperforming so far this season.
