Sixers podcast: Stephen Curry scorches Philly | Playoff matchups

In this episode of The Sixer Sense Podcast, I stepped in for Lucas Johnson to co-host with Christopher Kline, where we offered our perspectives on a range of topics regarding the Sixers. We started with the recap of two highly anticipated matchups.

First, we dive into the Sixers/Warriors game that did not disappoint. With the backdrop of a Curry sibling rivalry, that matchup was competitive early but then fizzled. Another rivalry took place between two Under Armour athletes, Joel Embiid and Stephen Curry. The entertainment factor was impressive. In this part of the podcast, we talk about who and what stood out in a game that Philly could have had if not for some costly mistakes in the final quarter.

After we wrap up that game, we discuss a win from last Friday. Against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Sixers held on in another tight game. We offer insight into which players were most effective for Philly, and who deserved a few more minutes on the bench that night.

With the postseason on the horizon, should Doc Rivers consider changes to the rotation? Also, what can we make of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons’ support for one another?

The next topic revolves around the possibility of Doc Rivers tinkering with his lineup to prepare for the playoffs. Though we have the best record in the Eastern Conference, it does not mean the team still cannot improve its starting lineup. We explore the idea of making one the starters a bench player and bringing someone else into the starting five.

Next, we talk about the recent comments regarding Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons‘ candidacy in their respective categories of MVP and DPOY. We analyze the journey of how they got to this point and how their relationship is turning out much better than some media outlets had predicted.

From there we look into the best and worst playoff matchups for the 76ers. Who would we rather the Sixers not play in the first round? Miami or Boston? Who would we hope the Sixers square off against in the first round? Indiana, New York, Charlotte, or Atlanta? Listen and find out!

Finally, we reveal the best comments from our social media question of the week. We simply asked Sixer Sense followers exactly why Joel Embiid deserves the MVP award. The responses were quite entertaining!
