The Sixers 'Other Guys' Come Through, The Lowry Waiting Game Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

Without Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons it seemed like we were in for a loss, but we were met with the Tony Bradley Game, The Matisse Thybulle Game, The Dwight Howard Game. We talk about the very nice victory, as well as Tyrese Maxey's struggles to get off the bench. We discuss the one year anniversary of the NBA shut down, whether Mike will get a haircut, if Kyle Lowry will be traded, the prospect of adding Will Barton, what the NBA would look like without a three point line, and which Western Conference team would be the most fun to beat in the Finals.

Sixers Mid-Season Grades, Ship Of Theseus, B-Ball Paul Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

At the All-Star break, the Sixers are leading the Eastern Conference, so the grades... are pretty good. We grade every Sixers player who has played meaningful minutes, as well as Doc Rivers and Daryl Morey. We discuss our role in educating the masses on the Ship Of Theseus in Wandvision, the great hacking of B-Ball Paul, some controversy in Mike's fantasy basketball league, and the mailbag includes a listener desperate to get one of the most ridiculous tattoos in history. A Ricky listener and his wife need some help with their dog. Fiona is only three years old, and if she does not get an expensive surgery on her knees, she will not be able to walk by five. The surgery and rehab is upwards of $10,000 is not covered by insurance, and it's been a tough year financially for Fiona's parents. If you can help, the fundraiser is here.

The Sixers ended their three game losing streak as only they can do it, in an ugly win over the Rockets.

We follow up with Joel's back issues, Thybulle's best game, whether Simmons' offense means he can play more minutes at center, two potential guard targets, shitting ice cream, who the next Sixers "snake guy" will be, B Ball Paul in Orlando, and the worst NBA player who could win MVP after curing cancer.

Sixers: The Coach, The Core or The Bench? Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

The Sixers have lost two straight on the road, and glaring was the production from bench units and their three point deficit. We talk about the reasons for both and whether it's a coaching change, a bench addition or a core change that will remedy them both (along with debating the merits of Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton). We discuss possibly adding Nemanja Bjelica, a parents themed relationship advice, another round of Jokic vs. Embiid, another MVP discussion, and where you stand when you pee.

Sixers Out West, Playoff Priorities, Trading For Kyle Lowry Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

The Sixers are proving they can win games when they're not at their best, with a suffocating fourth quarter defense. We discuss accepting that this is just how good Embiid is, what will make a successful road trip, whether the Sixers would rather acquire a small ball five or a point guard, whether they can acquire Kyle Lowry, which Sixers player would be the best Valentine, foods from our youth, extreme heat vs. extreme cold, and which NBA team could survive best without its top player.
