The Sixer Sense Podcast Episode 158
Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline break down the game where the Sixers handled New Orleans at the Wells Fargo Center. Without all of their stars and multiple key players, the Pelicans had no answer for the 76ers and Joel Embiid.
After we analyze that game, the podcast talks about All the Smoke’s interview with Kenrick Perkins. What did Big Perk have to say this time around about the Ben Simmons situation? Well, he spoke more about his belief that James Harden has an interest in playing with Joel Embiid. We debate whether or not this could be true and what the team would then have to do to make a Harden/Embiid tandem a reality.
The podcast then goes into the recent report that the Charlotte Hornets are interested in a Ben Simmons trade. Lucas and Chris go over which Hornets players are most appealing to the Sixers and how the contracts would have to match for the deal to be executed.
Next, we discuss the MVP criteria according to Shaquille O’Neal based on what he said on Inside the NBA on TNT. Should Joel Embiid’s MVP chances be enhanced because his team’s record is better than other candidates? We discuss this and more related to the topic.
The podcast then pivots to a little trivia competition. Lucas and Chris flex their Sixers’ knowledge and go back and forth answering questions about the team. The categories include jersey numbers, statistics, coaches, and colleges that are connected to the players and organization. Listen to find out who won.
