Joel is the MVP. Tobias is performing the contract. Ben needs to improve, yes, but they're playing GREAT (when they're allowed to play w/ more than 7 players). I'm happy they didn't blow it up for Harden and you should be, too. https://t.co/HBI9OVJRQE— Smitty (@SmittyBarstool) January 13, 2021.@sixers @BenSimmons25 has recorded his 30th career triple-double tonight in his 228th career game.
