Sixers podcast: Better without Ben Simmons?

This episode of the Sixer Sense Podcast brings you the latest events that impact the Philadelphia 76ers. One is related to COVID-19, and the other is related to Ben Simmons. Let’s begin though with the last win the Sixers had against the Chicago Bulls.

Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline analyze the Sixers’ victory in Chicago against the Bulls. The last time the teams met, Philly came out on top despite a hot shooting night from Demar Derozan. It was the perfect set up for a revenge game for the Bulls, but Joel Embiid and company had other plans. We offer players who stood out in the win, as well as theories that help explain how the Sixers keep winning without so many key players who have been impacted by COVID-19 protocols.

The Sixers are winning games despite Ben Simmons’ absence. Are they better without him?

The next topic discussed is about Ben Simmons. The unhappy All-Star continues to not suit up for Philly, yet the organization expects updates on Simmons’ mental status from doctors. We explore the reasons why the Sixers keep winning and debate whether or not the team is better without Simmons on the floor.

The podcast then gives Doc Rivers his flowers after the Sixers head coach won his 1,000th career  f minutes to spare without Tobias Harris, Isaiah Joe, Matisse Thybulle, and Danny Green, many role players have been stepping up and producing. We bring up several players who have made the best of the opportunity and those who still have room to grow.
