Sixers podcast: Ben Simmons’ game-winner | Coach of the Year odds

In this episode of The Sixer Sense Podcast, we offer Philly fans the latest drama with our discussion about the Sixers. Where do we start? Let’s begin with the San Antonio nail-biter where Ben Simmons saved the day.

Against the Spurs, the game had to go into overtime before Sixers fans could rest easy with a victory. Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline analyze the game that almost got away from Doc Rivers and his team. They break down how the Sixers gave up an early lead to a roster-depleted Spurs team led by Gregg Popovich.

From there, they go into the Hawks game, where Trae Young returned and put up his usual numbers versus the Sixers. Joel Embiid, as expected, was too much for the young Atlanta team as the 76ers took a second consecutive win from the Hawks at home.

Doc Rivers is making adjustments ahead of the postseason. Where does the Sixers’ coach stand in the Coach of the Year race?

Then, the podcast dives into a comment that Doc Rivers made recently about the 76ers’ bench unit. Lucas and Christopher discuss how the coach’s public announcement will impact the team moving forward and into the NBA playoffs.

After that is wrapped up, they discuss the odds for the top five coaches most likely to win the NBA Coach of the Year Award. Where does Doc Rivers fit in, and who are the other coaches up for the award? Listen and find out!

The social media question of the week is read, and Christopher shares some of the Twitter responses regarding where Sixer Sense followers feel the 76ers will end up in the postseason. Were they optimistic about Philly’s chances for a championship? Check out the podcast, or chime in on our Twitter page yourself to join the fun.
