About the episode
The Philadelphia 76ers are streaking! They aren’t dead, yet. This team can be exciting. The Sixers defeated the Toronto Raptors 104-101 in overtime tonight in South Philadelphia to net their fifth game in a row and improve their record to 17-12. Joel Embiid had a night we’ve come to expect from him, but it was Tobias Harris pulling some extra duty with his continued hot shooting as he has been shooting almost 56% from three prompting him to tell folks in the post-game interview: “Watch out. I’m a sharpshooter.” Pascal Siakam held the Raptors together with all of the bubble gum and duct tape he had at his disposal, finishing with 38 (16 of which came in the third quarter). There were some questionable calls from the referees in the overtime period, but the Sixers still came out on top despite all of that. (SIDE NOTE: Thanks to Fred VanVleet for not cashing in on the litany of open looks given to him by the Sixers' defense in the fourth quarter.) The Sixers now have some things going, and that’s in large part to the improved play of James Harden. IN part two of the podcast, Adio Royster and David Early go into detail about how Harden feels about his legacy after opening up to Yaron Weitzman of FOX Sports. What does Harden think about his legacy this season and in the future in the city of Philadelphia? Harden has also been able to cultivate his partnership with Embiid thanks in large part to “time,” as he referenced. The pair have looked unstoppable when they’re both on the floor, healthy. This is evidenced by the 117.7 points per 100 possessions numbers so far this season. Your hosts are full of good cheer on the final Out of Site podcast before the holidays!
