Sixers podcast: Nets matchup | Ben Simmons throwing shade

In this episode, we jump right into the recent Sixers victories from this week. We start with the Brooklyn game that came with a backdrop of hype and drama. Without James Harden and Kevin Durant, the Nets only had Kyrie Irving to throw at the 76ers. Ironically, it was their bench that almost caused a complete Philadelphia collapse in the fourth quarter. We break down this game and the implications that follow as the playoffs are only a few weeks away.

Then, Lucas and Chris discuss the road win in Dallas. They elaborate on what stood out in this game, particularly Sixers (and possibly league) MVP Joel Embiid and Mavericks superstar, Luka Doncic.

Ben Simmons is confident — but do the Sixers really stand a chance against Brooklyn in the postseason?

From there, some quotes about about the 76ers from a current Sixer, former Sixer, and Philly native are picked apart. We look at the comments that Ben Simmons had about the one deficiency of the Brooklyn Nets and how Rudy Gobert is arguably undeserving of DPOY because of Simmons’ head-to-head matchup this year in Utah. The other comments are from Julius Erving and Rasheed Wallace, who both stated that the 76ers are the favorites to win the Eastern Conference.

The final topic revolves around some very intriguing stats. We introduce some impressive individual stats connected to Joel Embiid and Dwight Howard. After that, we reveal some team stats that should have fans more comfortable as the month of May approaches.
