Limited Upside NBA podcast: You’re damn right we’re excited about Joel Embiid

Plus, other first-month storylines that excite and disappoint us. Sorry, Wizards.

The NBA season is one month old, so it’s time to take stock of our most- and least-favorite early storylines. Since Ben is a 76ers fan and Mike is a Wizards fan, you know where this is going.

Among the topics discussed this week:

  • How fun is Joel Embiid? Will we ever get tired of his larger-than-life personality?
  • What’s wrong with the Wizards, anyway? At this point, it goes beyond the players and even the coach, right?
  • Piggybacking off Tom and Paul’s conversation, who is the second-best player in the Eastern Conference?
  • Mike goes on and on about how he suddenly loves James Harden again.
  • We’re baffled by the Timberwolves’ slow start. Help us figure them out!
  • Finally, are the Clippers better than the Warriors now, or are we getting too far ahead of ourselves?
