This episode of The Sixer Sense Podcast reveals some intriguing stats, quotes, and standings related to our beloved 76ers. Like always though, we explore some key points about the recent games that the Sixers won.
The first game we discuss is the win against the Houston Rockets, who had a number of players sit due to injury. Without those players, it gave Philadelphia a huge advantage, and the Sixers did not waste the opportunity to capitalize.
After the recap of the Rockets game, we dive into the win versus Chicago. The Bulls were also without their stars, and the 76ers took control early and never let go of their lead. The last two victories extended their win streak to six games and expanded their lead in the race for the top playoff seed.
The Sixers have dominated in the clutch this season. What changed? And also, commentary on Joel Embiid’s request for more help.
The next topic that Lucas and Chris discussed revolves around a key stat that was shared by Brian Seltzer. It focused on how the Sixers have been much more successful in clutch game situations compared to recent years. We analyze the performance behind the numbers.
The podcast then turns to a quote given by the 76ers’ All-Star center, Joel Embiid, who spoke recently about his teammates. He declared how he needs his teammates and for them to have the confidence necessary to advance in the playoffs. We explore which players need to step up the most this postseason.
Matisse Thybulle’s latest surge in the best defensive player category is brought up since NBA.com updated its list. We look at how and why the Sixers’ second-year wing player could take such a huge leap among top tier defenders, especially when he averages about 20 minutes of playing time.
Lastly, the podcast ends with a discussion that involves the 76ers’ front office guru, Daryl Morey. We decided to dissect his tweet that was directed at LeBron James after the Los Angeles Lakers’ star complained about the NBA play-in tournament format.
