Sixers podcast: All-Star weekend and final record predictions

This podcast episode offers insight in multiple Sixers topics, including All-Star weekend festivities. Because we have not recorded since last Wednesday, we start with a recap of the Sixers win against the Bucks in Milwaukee.

Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline start the podcast off with analysis of the game where Joel Embiid led the 76ers to a big win against one of their Eastern Conference rivals. Versus Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, the Sixers walked away with a win before the All-Star break. We debate whether or not it was a statement game, and if MVP favorite Joel Embiid is a more skilled player than Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The next topic revolves around the underwhelming results from All-Star weekend. The skills challenge, 3-point contest, and dunk competition drew major criticism from the majority of NBA fans. The poor performances and strange formats bring into question what should be done to improve the festivities. The podcast offers several ideas that could enhance the weekend.

The podcast then examines the recent article published by Bleacher Report that shifted the order of players drafted in 2020. Tyrese Maxey, who was originally selected at 21, leaped to the fourth spot in the B/R re-draft. Do we agree with this, or should he have gone higher?

The Sixers — now armed with James Harden — have 24 regular season games left on the schedule. What record will they finish the season with?

Next, the podcast covers the remaining 24 regular season games that the Sixers play. We go game by game and tally off wins and losses. Who has the Sixers ending the season with 50+ wins? Who thinks they will win less than 50 games? Listen and find out.

The social media question of the week allows Sixer Sense followers a chance to rank the top five Big 3 player combinations from the Eastern Conference. We look at the three-headed monsters from teams like the Sixers, Heat, Bucks, Nets, and Bulls.
