The way this works is I’m going to write as though having a conversation between two people: the Good cop, who believes the Sixers are going to make the Finals, and the Bad cop, who doesn’t. (I’m also shamelessly stealing this article format from Shea Serrano of the Ringer. Disclaimer, read his stuff, etc.)
Good cop: The Philadelphia 76ers are going to make the Finals this year.
Bad cop: You’re a crazy homer, aren’t you?
Good cop: I don’t see your point.
Bad cop: Fair enough.
