Sixers podcast: Tyrese Maxey readjusting and Furkan Korkmaz fading

After a short hiatus, the podcast returns to discuss all topics related to the Sixers. There have been plenty of events involving the 76ers since Thanksgiving, but we start things off with the recent loss to the Bostons Celtics on the road.

On Wednesday night, Philly went into Bean Town looking to secure their first division victory. Jalen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Marcus Smart had other plans. We analyze the game, bringing up the poor play of Tobias Harris and Furkan Korkmaz. The Sixers couldn’t hold Tatum throughout the game and Dennis Schroder at the end.

Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline also look back at the two previous games against the Orlando Magic and Minnesota Timberwolves. The 76ers lost in double overtime at home to the Timberwolves, but they won against a pitiful Magic squad. We discuss the positives and negatives from both games.

Several key Sixers have struggled of late, and Ben Simmons remains out indefinitely. What’s next to come?

The next subject involves the latest details in the Ben Simmons saga. Howard Eskin tweeted out last week that Simmons is struggling financially due to the accumulation of fines and his paychecks being withheld. We speculate the idea that Simmons could actually be strapped for cash. We then discuss how motivated Simmons could be after John Wall indicated that he’d be willing to play for Houston this season.

The final conversations consist of talk related to several Sixers players. The podcast brings up the shooting drought of Furkan Korkmaz, the demotion of Paul Reed, and the recent inconsistent play of Tyrese Maxey.
