Struggling defensively can feel lonelier than struggling offensively because an error can cost the whole game

Struggling defensively, sometimes you could feel lonelier than struggling offensively because struggling offensively, there's nine of you contributing. And then defensively you make an error, it can cost the game.

Subjective opinion about the psychology of baseball — cannot be definitively resolved.

Andre Drummond might be better than Joel Embiid

Andre Drummond... might be better than [Joel] Embiid. Max, I'm not gonna lie... He still has his appendix. Best ability is availability.

While Drummond is more durable, Embiid is a perennial MVP candidate and objectively the better player; the claim is hyperbolic.

Beating the Celtics would be the equivalent of winning an NBA Finals for the Sixers

I've also already said if we beat the Celtics, that's, that's an NBA finals. I don't care what happens the rest of it.

This is a subjective emotional assessment of what the victory would mean to him as a fan.

The Orlando Magic are a total bummer to watch

The [Orlando] Magic are the biggest bummer in the world to watch. Yeah. That team stinks. They are, they just play just basketball. That's not fun to watch. Paolo [Banchero] stinks. Paolo is so bad. He was like seven for 22. It's like my turn your turn offense.

The entertainment value of a team is subjective, though Banchero is widely considered an ascending star despite this critique.

I will likely never use the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system

I love [the ABS] because guys stop complaining... but the reality is umpires are right more times than not. I haven't challenged anything. I don't think I will. I don't know the strike zone that well... I don't think I will [ever challenge].

This is a statement of personal intent and self-assessment.

Superstitions are fake; it's all about hard work

I can't be superstitious. This is, I can't do the same thing every single day just because yesterday I played well. It's just... I stopped and you feel so free. We all work way too hard to give the credit to the batting glove, to give the credit to the bat, to give the credit to the ice cream.

The effectiveness of superstitions is a matter of personal belief.
