On this episode of The Sixer Sense Podcast, Noah Levick from NBC Sports Philadelphia joins Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline to talk about the latest issues surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers.
The podcast begins with the analysis of quotes from Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and Doc Rivers. During the recent Philadelphia 76ers press conference, some juicy comments were made about the approach of the season. The podcast covers how much stock should be put into what players and coaches said as the season is just weeks away.
The conversation then turns toward the recent schedule release, where the 76ers find themselves out of favor in comparison to other young, upcoming teams. Their decreased number of nationally televised games and absence from the Christmas Day lineup has many Sixer fans feeling slighted. The podcast generates theories as to why Philadelphia is not as popular on the national scene as they had been in recent years.
Daryl Morey has had some intriguing things to say lately about his new team, and the podcast dives into two particular comments he gave recently. Lucas, Chris, and Noah provide insight into the quotes about Morey’s favorable starting lineup and his feelings about the importance of Shake Milton this year.
After the Morey quotes, the discussion heads in the direction of what the Sixers’ assistant coaches will be able to accomplish on offense and defense. Noah offers analysis on Dave Joerger’s approach to the 76ers’ offense and Dan Burke’s approach on defense.
Then, recent news about two 76ers being diagnosed with COVID is brought up and how this impacts the team and training camp.
Lastly, the podcast goes into the ranking of the Sixers’ top defensive players. What is the order of Joel Embiid, Dwight Howard, Ben Simmons, and Matisse Thybulle in terms of their defensive impact on the basketball court? Listen and find out on this week’s episode of the SixerSense Podcast!
