Sixers Starting Lineup Is 13-0 Feb 08, 2021

Show notes

It wasn't the test we were looking forward to, but the Sixers starting lineup moved to 13-0 with a convincing win over the Nets. We discuss Embiid's continued dominance, Simmons' (maybe) best game so far this season and whether Mike will put any respect on Danny Green's name. We debate a potential ban in the Morey family, and bring on Andrew Unterberger to talk about a column he never wrote that would currently be roasted every minute on the internet, along with whether he'll ever admit he's wrong.

It's A Trap! How Do The Sixers Guard The Nets? Feb 05, 2021

Show notes

The Sixers got caught in a trap game against Portland, and even though they lost, survived a scary fall from Joel Embiid. Even in the forgettable game, Embiid's 25 point 2nd quarter was something to behold. We discuss how the Sixers will guard the Brooklyn Nets, if Tobias Harris is 75% of Bradley Beal, the NBA All-Star voting, and if Embiid's style of scoring by getting to the line can hold up in the playoffs.

Zoned Out! Furk and Thybulle Heroes, Embiid Or Giannis, Redick Return? Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

The Dan Burke Revenge Game! January is our month, and the Sixers close it out with a stunning victory led by a 2-3 zone (RIP John Chaney), Furkan Korkmaz and Matisse Thybulle. We discuss whether Joel Embiid is better than Giannis Antetokounmpo, whether the Sixers should trade for JJ Redick, an on-court challenge from two losers, and the science of who picks up the ball after a made basket. Check out our website for the $TOBI shirt on Monday.

We've Always Believed In Tobias Harris Jan 28, 2021

Show notes

In a war of MVP leaders and MVP wannabes, the Sixers showed they belonged with the Lakers, and ultimately won on a game winner from Tobias Harris, who we've always believed in. We discuss the big shot, LeBron James' (debated) cheap shot on Joel Embiid, a Spike declaration of war, Ben Simmons coming to play, and the rest of the game. We also discuss "Championship or Bust," the odds of the top eight MVP candidates and who actually can overtake Embiid. We also discuss a stunning trade proposal from an Australian listener.

The Napa Trip Is Happening, Ben Simmons Awakens, Embiid Still MVP Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

Ben Simmons has woken up. In the 4th quarter against the Celtics, Simmons came alive and kept it going into the Pistons game. We discuss the new and improved Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid's continued, improving and consistent domination, and their comments about each other afterward. Then we dip into the mailbag and compare these Sixers to the Doc Rivers Celtics, share some other roommate stories from listeners, and whether the almost-Harden trade could be an Iverson-almost-trade like moment.

MVP Joel Embiid, Simmons as Draymond, Smelliest NBA Player, Bad Roommate Stories Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

Joel Embiid's MVP case grows by the game, as he quietly dominates again on both ends of the court. We discuss the differences in Embiid's game this year compared to previous seasons, the argument for keeping Shake Milton coming off the bench, the directions Ben Simmons' career could go and the Draymond Green comparison, Simmons confirmation bias, who is the smelliest NBA player, and some personal bad roommate stories.

Shake Milton The Third Star and Guard Chasing Post Harden Jan 18, 2021

Show notes

The Sixers are positioned due to contact tracing, but we're talking about Shake Milton's bully-like performance against the Grizzlies, what is up with Ben Simmons on the offensive end, and Mike's never-ending commitment to the development of Matisse Thybulle. Then we bring on Corner Three Newsletter writing, James Harden desiring Alonzo Jones to talk about the Sixers pursuit of a star in the future, Delco vs. South Philly and whether faith in Daryl Morey is still solid.

James Harden Saga Ends, Sixers Sweep Heat Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

The James Harden trade saga is over, and he did not get traded to the Sixers for Ben Simmons. We discuss the trade that didn’t happen (37:22), how we feel that it didn’t happen, the future of the team, Simmons, and trust in Daryl Morey. But first (2:28), we talk about the sweep of Miami, and the amazing performances from Shake Milton, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Isaiah Joe.

The Tyrese Maxey Game, NBA Protocols, Point Guard Danny Green Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

While the situation that led up to it was regrettable, Tyrese Maxey's 39 point performance against the Nuggets will live on forever. We talk about Maxey's game, point Danny Green, Isaiah Joe letting them fly, and the NBA protocols that led to a game being played with seven active Sixers. We also go back in time to talk about our 2017 draft takes, whether Simmons could prefer Houston, and when it stopped being embarrassing to admit you met someone online.

Embiid’s Workload, Maxey Comes Alive, Simmons vs. Iguodala, Eagles Tanking Jan 08, 2021

Show notes

The Sixers lost to the Nets, but we aren’t stressing, talking about good games from Shake Milton and Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid’s performance against the Wizards and whether he’s playing too many minutes, whether current Ben Simmons is better than prime Andre Iguodala, we rate the Eagles in-game tank against Washington, and talk about potential trades for Kyle Lowry or Zach LaVine.
