Five Overreactions: Embiid’s knee, Doc disappoints, Maxey-Mania, Minivan & Penguin, Ben Simmons optimism

Just a couple of games into the season and the Sixers are 1-1. Uncharacteristically, it was the road game they won and the home game they lost. But for much of that home loss, which came at the hands of the odds-on finals favorite Nets, the Sixers appeared in control of things. Reactions aren’t nearly as fun as overreactions. Here are 5 overreactions from Friday’s 114-109 defeat. I’ll give you two negative ones and three positive ones just in case you’re already contemplating a break from fanhood like Liberty Ballers’ Dan Volpone.

First the bad news.
