Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

The Sixers do not appear to have what it takes to make a run this year. The McCain trade looms as well as Embiid and George’s contracts. Are Daryl Morey and Nick Nurse’s jobs safe? Plus, the NBA talks expansion, and the Sixers get smoked in Denver.

On today's show, Spike and Mike discuss MOC’s article on if the Sixers have reached the Zugzwang, referenced in the Hinkie letter, that describes the situation where you’re forced to make a move that will worsen your position. MOC proposes that the Sixers have three main options moving forward. Mike is joined later on by Bo Belanger, creator of Connie and Jack: A Rigged Game, a podcast that follows Connie Hawkins, basketball superstar who is blackballed from the NBA for a crime he didn’t commit. Oh, and the Sixers barely beat the Nets.

Tyrese Maxey, out for three weeks. Kelly Oubre, out for two weeks. We talk about the ramifications of the injuries (in addition to Embiid's injury and Paul George's suspension) and whether it might be better to just lose in the play-in and take a shot at that top four pick. We also discuss Bam Adebayo's 83 point game being overshadowed by The Cam Payne Game, and why anyone would dip pizza in ranch dressing.

The Sixers lose to the Hawks and Tyrese Maxey hurts his hand in the final seconds running into Adem Bona. They are now the eighth seed with a tough schedule ahead. Daryl Morey makes the case on why the three point shot should be adjusted, as it holds too much value, and Isaiah Hartenstein admits that Maxey was fouled in the final moment of their 2024 game two matchup.

The Sixers beat the Jazz in one of the most forgettable games of all time, we revisit the Jared McCain trade once again after articles by Kevin O'Connor and Jake Fischer and several good games by McCain, we analyze a JJ Redick and Luka Doncic video, tease AU about his 20,000 points vs. 500 home runs take, and introduce everyone to a website that will tell you whether to watch the Sixers or not (https://shouldiwatchthesixersgame.com/)
