About this episode
The Ringer's Chris Vernon brings on NBA writer Zach Harper to run through the early-season story lines and determine if Russell Westbrook's ridiculous tear will continue (6:00), if Anthony Davis can continue to score 50-plus and still lose (15:00), if the Sixers are better than the Magic (20:00), if the Bulls are for real (25:00), if the Warriors are taking a step back (35:00), and if Kawhi Leonard can become a top-three player in the Association (40:00).
