Sixers podcast: Game 3 blowout and Joel Embiid’s fan appeal

As you probably saw, the Philadelphia 76ers went into Washington D.C. and acted like they owned the place. Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline break down what helped Philly dominate the game from tip-off and throughout each quarter. Most notably, we analyze how Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and Tobias Harris were so effective versus a woeful Wizards team.

Then, we offer our over/unders in different categories for game four. For instance, we look at the over/under for Embiid’s points, Simmons’ assists, and Maxey’s minutes. There’s plenty others, so listen and check out our predictions.

The next topic revolves around Philly’s All-Star center, Joel Embiid. We read quotes from Dirk Nowitzki and Scott Brooks. We talked about how these quotes hold Embiid in such high regard and why the Sixers’ big man is so beloved by so many fans. The easy reason is to emphasize his talent, but we suggest there’s much more to the adoration he’s given.

The Sixers hold a commanding 3-0 series lead over the Washington Wizards. How does the rest of the playoff landscape look?

The podcast then dives into some of the other playoff games around the NBA. We ask which series do we think has been most competitive and which one has been most disappointing.

The social media question of the week leans fans toward the next round, where the 76ers would matchup against the New York Knicks or the Atlanta Hawks. Listen and find out who the fans and our podcast hosts felt the Sixers should want to play next.
