Give and Go: Biggest surprises so far, 76ers’ shake-up and Warriors’ streak /

In the latest episode of Give and Go, SI.com senior writer Chris Mannix is joined by Ben Golliver to discuss the biggest stories around the league. Among this week's topics of discussion...

• Warriors' win streak. Where does Golden State go from here? Can the Warriors still make a run at history? Is it a good thing their winning streak was snapped to take pressure off the team?

• 76ers' future. How does the outlook of the franchise change with Jerry Colangelo now in charge of the front office? Will this interrupt Sam Hinkie's "process?" Can the 76ers return to respectability sooner than we think?

• Biggest surprises around the league. The NBA is almost a third of the way through its regular season — which team has turned in the most surprising result so far? Mannix and Golliver dish on the best and worst starts.
