Sixers can win without Embiid!, Thybulle's improvement, Embiid vs. Jokic

The Sixers got their first win without Joel Embiid, thanks in large part to the play of Furkan Korkmaz and Matisse Thybulle. We discuss their big games plus Doc's adjustment to zone defense that shifted momentum late in the 4th. We also talk about the Sixers new coach winning Coach of the Month honors, Embiid vs. Jokic in the MVP race and whether or not a reunion with J.J. Redick makes sense.

Sixers hold off defending champs, Is Ben back?

The Sixers had one of their first big tests against the defending champion Lakers this week. We discuss Tobias Harris' game winner and his All-Star chances. We also talk about Joel Embiid overcoming Marc Gasol, LeBron's flagrant foul, Ben Simmons' recent resurgence and the Sixers bench struggles.

Embiid for MVP, adjusted expectations for Simmons

Joel Embiid had another 40-point performance against Boston on Wednesday, adding to his early campaign for league MVP.

At 7-2, it's too early for overreactions

Nine games into the season, the Sixers look like one of the best teams in the NBA. It's still very early, though. After wins against the Hornets and Wizards, the Sixers were unable to overcome a Brooklyn Nets team without Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and Spencer Dinwiddie. We discuss the high-scoring affair against Washington, Seth Curry's importance to the Sixers depth, team performance during back-to-backs and whether or not Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot is better than Landry Shamet. Also, Tyrese Maxey continues to impress. NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the news of Seth Curry testing positive for COVID-19.

The Sixers can beat bad teams!

The Sixers improve to 5-1 on the season after victories against the Raptors, Magic and Hornets. Joel Embiid looks more engaged on both ends, Tobias Harris and Seth Curry are heating up and the team's depth seems to be better than it has been in quite some time. We discuss the latest three wins, Ben Simmons' latest three pointer, Tyrese Maxey's first career three, how sustainable the Sixers success is against the better teams and whether or not Giannis is overrated (spoiler alert: he might be).

Sixers rout Knicks, poop the bed in Cleveland

Brandon Apter and Jesse Larch discuss the Sixers back-to-back on the road against the Knicks and Cavs. Joel Embiid had another dominant performance, Tobias Harris bounced back (but still doesn't look great) and while Ben Simmons was solid against the Knicks, he had a game to forget against Cleveland...which leads Brandon to want to trade him for James Harden tonight. We also discuss the early season impressions of the Nets, Bucks and Warriors.

Sixers win opener, finally have a legit bench

The Sixers beat the Wizards 113-107 in their 2020-21 season opener. Behind Joel Embiid's 15 fourth quarter points and a 43-point performance from the bench, the Sixers were able to overcome an abysmal third quarter to win the game. We talk about Embiid's slow start and dominant finish, Ben Simmons' aggression in the second half, Shake Milton for 6th Man of the Year, Tyrese Maxey's debut and the concern level for Tobias Harris.

Sixers Swept, Agonizing Season Comes to an End

The Sixers were unable to avoid the sweep as they dropped Game 4 to the Boston Celtics in what was presumably Brett Brown's final game as head coach. We discuss the small number of promising takeaways from the series, some of Game 4's post game quotes from Brett, Josh Richardson and Joel Embiid and the daunting offseason ahead, which should include a massive overhaul of the coaching staff, front office and (hopefully) the roster to an extent.
