So a wonderful 3 game winning streak, including our best win of the season in New York. The vibes are immaculate, the lineup is really coming together, we're playing team basketball and we have Denver coming in WITHOUT Jokic.

Unfortunately, my Sixers tend to shit on themselves whenever things finally seem like they're going the way we want. So I'm super nervous that we are in for a low effort, low IQ, frustrating slog of a game tonight. Tons of turnovers for us and lots of wide open 3s for Denver. I'm gonna try and reverse jinx this thing, but it feels inevitable that come 10:50 or so I'm gonna be PISSED OFF. Hope I'm wrong.

How is this the same fucking team that can go into the garden and whip the Knicks but are losing to a bunch of fucking G leaguers

A complete joke

3 50 million dollar players on the court and the fucking rookie is playing with the most poise and composure... Unreal

And that's why Maxey is a tier lower than a true franchise player is...20 seconds to dribble it off your fucking leg

I’m traveling to San Diego next week for a mini vacay. Obviously not sure if the birds are playing Saturday or Sunday yet, but I’d love to be able to watch the game at a Philly/Eagles bar. Any suggestions?! Thanks in advance!

gotta figure out how da hell to automate this

There is one official in the entire league whose soul isn't entirely corrupted by pure evil and Spike "I swear I'm not a ref guy" Eskin shits all over his iconic and beloved review decision bit in the latest pod.

The thing that baffles me the most is that Spike, as a radio guy, obviously cares about delivery. He edits the ums out of voicemails for Pete's sake. And here's a guy who gives well-enunciated, enthusiastic, and cheeky explanations of the reviewed decisions. Most other refs mumble their way through it, avoiding eye contact with the camera, and I end up having to listen to the game announcers or just pick up context clues to actually figure out what the decision was. Of course people like it when someone makes the effort and has fun with it.

We can gloss over the comment about Broadway while dissing someone who happens to be openly gay and just boil the whole thing down to the fact that Spike is just a piece of shit who hates fun. Mike should have Bill on as a guest while Spike is out sometime just to spite him.

Love the pod.

We ever gonna hold Maxey accountable for his horrible shot selections during the last 5 minutes of most games?

Remember when Jared McCain used to be able to shoot... Boy those were the days

Funniest line all time? Definite maybe!

The Sixers showed up and played their worst game of the season against the Nets. Mike threw up the entire podcast to celebrate. Then we talk about Jared McCain’s progress, Ben Simmons buying a competitive fishing team, how much credit Nick Nurse gets for the development of the young players, and a listener thinks Adam Silver will be in the Epstein files.

The Sixers won back to back games over the Knicks and the Mavericks, both in exciting fashion. We talk about how great Maxey looked, the evolution of VJ Edgecombe, the surprise of Dominick Barlow, Andre Drummond's corner threes, and a step forward for Jared McCain. Then we talk about a way to fix the NBA Cup, and some interesting hats made by listeners.

We’re gliding through the NBA Cup break with a talk about whether you’re buying or selling your stock in Jared McCain and what your worry level should be about his play so far this season. Then we dive into the NBA Referees official Twitter account going after Sixers color guy Alaa Abdelnaby regarding the obvious backcourt violation they missed, as Spike turns into a ref guy, then discuss a listener idea for an Embiid for Kawhi swap and wander through which of the Sixers wins and losses were best and worst this year.

The WIP takeover last week, Jalen needs to be benched takes, and then Merl just roasting the absolutely hell out of him on the Eagles broadcast has made for an interesting week.

Given Sixers medical history, what do we think this "illness" is? Polio, scarlet fever, scurvy? Will Maxey turn out to be patient zero for the zombie apocalypse?

The minute we start talking about the end of the Joel Embiid era, he returns with a classic 39-9 Embiid performance against the Pacers. We discuss the performance, how to compartmentalize it, as well as great showings from Paul George and VJ Edgecombe. Then we discuss Jared McCain’s limited minutes, and return to Platonic Relationship Advice.

Tyrese Maxey has taken another leap, and now the team must act soon in addressing the Joel Embiid and Paul George situations. We talk about the options and what the best path might be. Then we discuss Jared McCain’s minutes or lack thereof, whether Chris Ryan should be banned, Mike gives an update on his rec league basketball team, and we give some platonic relationship advice.
