The coach. The guru. The shot god -- or at least the one whose name Philadelphia 76ers fans know the most. Drew Hanlen, CEO of PureSweat joins David Early for a special Out of Site interview.
David asks Drew what he thinks of watching two clients (Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey) square off. What's next for Joel and the preparation for the upcoming season at this stage of the off-season. A healthy Nikola Jokic debate also ensues. Now that Drew is working with Maxey, what can Sixers fans expect from the young up and comer going into this season. With both Embiid and Maxey on Drew's roster, what can both learn from each other as they train together as well as what they can learn from guys like Jokic and Tyrese Haliburton? Of course, the most important questions are asked: what does Drew think of the James Harden stalemate, and also ... what was the atmosphere at Joel's wedding!

Your Philadelphia 76ers are up 2-0 on the Brooklyn Nets in their first round playoff matchup after a 96-84 win at the crib in South Philadelphia!
Sixers fans were treated to the Tyrese Maxey Playoff Experience as he dropped in 33 points. After the hot shooting in game one, things went a little cold in game two. It looked a little weary as the Sixers were down five at the half, but a 20-5 run to start the second half erased that. Now, the Sixers travel to the Barclays Center for games three and four later this week. Sean Kennedy joins Adio Royster on the podcast to discuss the happenings of game two as well as what the Sixers can learn (if anything) from the Nets as they likely will face the Boston Celtics in round two.

Out of Site: The Drew Hanlen Interview

The Philadelphia 76ers vs. James Harden continues!
Per reporting from Tom West, the NBA launched an investigation into what led Harden to call Daryl Morey a liar while entertaining a group of fans in China. There has been much speculation as far as what kind of "deal" Harden and Morey made last off-season that would lead Harden to say such things about his BFF. It could also be as simple as Harden being upset that Morey did not trade him to his only choice of destination -- the Los Angeles Clippers. Adio Royster and David Early discuss this new aspect of this ongoing saga.
After the break, they try to gain a sense of what locker room chemistry would look like with Harden in tow. Jackson Frank posted an SB Nation Poll and 36% of respondents believe there would NOT be a Harden trade before the season begins on October 28th against the Milwaukee Bucks in Wisconsin. Right now, Joel Embiid is happy to be a Sixer -- which is what ESPN's Ramona Shelbourne is reporting. However, comments made by newly signed guard Patrick Beverly could pose another dynamic that could upset the team chemistry and locker room atmosphere.

Out of Site: He (Harden) said, He (Morey) said ... or Didn't Say

It is never normal when it is an off-season for the Philadelphia 76ers.
This year's disgruntled Sixers player is James Harden -- who was traded for another disgruntled Sixers player in Ben Simmons. At an event in China, Harden spoke to a group of people where he called General Manager Daryl Morey a "liar" and that he will "never play for an organization that he is a part of."
What happened to a relationship that -- up until this past Saturday -- was the talk of the league when Harden was in Houston? Now that he has soured on Morey, what do the Sixers do with training camp right around the corner? They can't trade Harden to his preferred destination (the Los Angeles Clippers). (They could, but the return will be even less than what the Clippers were offering before -- which wasn't much.) They can't possibly think having Harden on the roster to start the season is a good idea. At the very least, something has to get worked out by mid/late October.
Adio Royster and David Early give their thoughts on what happened, how we got here, and what the Sixers organization does now.

Out of Site: Sixers Can't Have a Normal Off-Season, Can They?

Adio Royster and David Early go on vacation for two weeks, and all hell breaks loose in the Philadelphia 76ers landscape. Fans are down on the Sixers off-season. A recent SB Nation Reacts poll started by Jackson Frank of Liberty Ballers suggests that fans are grading this off-season kind of harshly. (The 51% percent of you that graded "D" or "F", anyways.) A good amount are grading as incompletes depending on the trade status of Damian Lillard or James Harden.
Speaking of which, there have been updates for both players!
Damian Lillard wants out of Portland (to Miami only), and he and his agent get slapped down by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. James Harden still wants to be traded, but the one team he wants to go to isn't playing nice when it comes to shelling out proper pieces (or even pieces that keep the Sixers contending).
How is the rest of this off-season going to go with training camp right around the corner?
Adio and David discuss that and more (such as Adio's thoughts on the re-release of the Philadelphia Eagles Kelly Green jerseys).

Out of Site: Sixers Fans Down on the Off-Season? Plus Lillard and Harden Updates

NBA free agency began last week, and the Philadelphia 76ers were all over the wires. After James Harden opted in to his $36 million player option, he requested to be traded, and that would have been the first domino in the Sixers off-season -- or so we thought. One Fourth of July white party with Michael Rubin later, and Harden may have mended some fences (with players, not necessarily front office members -- as reported by ESPN's Ramona Shelbourne). Is it a higher possibility that Harden returns? Maybe, but the clock is definitely ticking on how quickly this move SHOULD be done. The Sixers lost some free agents (Georges Niang, Shake Milton, and Jaden McDaniels), and the cupboard has to be refilled somehow. (This was recorded before the signing of Mo Bamba as reported by Woj.)
Regardless, Adio Royster and David Early catch you up on what has happened so far for the Sixers in free agency plus talk about how a Damian Lillard trade could have been done (according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst) if Tyrese Maxey was included in the deal. Who knows how much truth there is to that, honestly, because you sometimes have to take those reports with a giant salt shaker.
Speaking of ESPN, Adio and David give their two cents on the latest round of ESPN layoffs that happened last week and where they feel certain personalities should go. (If we're being honest ... some of them might be better away from ESPN.)

Out of Site: Harden Back?.. and other NBA Free Agency and Trade Rumblings

Like many proud fathers out there, Torrel Harris (father of Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris) simply wants to see his son succeed. (This is also because he gets a nice chunk of commission as Tobias's agent.) Nevertheless, Torrel Harris has been speaking out in favor of his son getting a better role in the Sixers offense. He calls Tobias an "assassin", and statistics show that ... sometimes. It's just not as consistent as the team needs it to be. Part of it could be the role Tobias is in. Part of it could be great teammate, wrong system. Whatever the case may be, Torrel Harris wants more from incoming head coach Nick Nurse. Adio Royster and David Early talk about what that role could possibly be and if it's something that even makes sense given the fact the team still has other off-season items to think about (a la James Harden).
After the break, the Sixers scooped up a few interesting prospects via undrafted free agents, and some thoughts on what the Sixers might be able to do with any mid-level exceptions if Harden stays or goes.

Out of Site: Are the Sixers Misusing Tobias Harris, Assassin for Hire?

The first off-season domino has fallen. The Washington Wizards traded All-Star guard/forward Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, several second round picks and pick swaps. Adio Royster and David Early begin the podcast with the ripple effects of that trade and how they relate to the Philadelphia 76ers. With Beal off the market, is it more likely to see James Harden return to the Sixers after flirting with the Houston Rockets for weeks and months? If there is a Tobias Harris trade (as many suspect), what will be the return for his expiring contract? After the break, Adio and David speak a little on the NBA Draft and how trades involving the Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers could also cause roadblocks in pathways for the Sixers to not just acquire a superstar but win the Eastern Conference in 2023-2024.

The Philadelphia 76ers coaching staff is getting poached once again. This time it's by a division rival -- the Boston Celtics. Shams Charania reported that the Celtics will be getting Sixers assistant coach Sam Cassell to help Joe Mazzoula on his sidelines for next season. Adio and David talk about the implications of that news as well as other reporting and rumors that hint that new coach Nick Nurse may be getting an old running buddy of his from Toronto -- Mr. Fred VanVleet -- as a possible alternative if James Harden were not resigned by the Sixers.
After the break, the tandem break down what they've thought of the NBA Finals, so far, and look at the performance of one Jimmy Butler -- who may have ascended to the top of the list of "biggest NBA free agent blunders".

Out of Site - Sixers Lose Cassell to an Enemy ... VanVleet Rumors?

The Philadelphia 76ers continue the trend of hiring head coaches with names based in the medical field. First, they tried a "Doc" with Glenn Rivers, and now, the next head coach is a Nurse. (That is confirmed. Last week, it was more of a question, but it's official, now.) Nick Nurse is the new head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers. Nurse brings his title from the Toronto Raptors -- something that brings Sixers PTSD to the surface. He is an alleged X's and O's guy, and more importantly, he is President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey's "first guy". Morey can now build a team around his hand picked coach. Are the Sixers in better, worse or kinda level shape? Adio Royster and David Early discuss that as well as give a preview of the NBA Finals between the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat which begins tomorrow on ABC/YouTube.

The Philadelphia 76ers have begun one of two major decisions for this off-season: the search for a new head coach. Right now, former Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse is the first of a targeted list of candidates. What do we think of Nick Nurse, Sixers fans? Adio Royster and David Early discuss the pros and cons of hiring Nurse in part one as well as the James Harden decision that also looms over this franchise's off-season. In part two, they debate over a CBS Sports article written by Sam Quinn that outlines four potential paths the Sixers could take in this off-season. Is one better than the other?

Out of Site - Once Again, Sixers Fans ... It's Over

It is all good in the Philadelphia 76ers neighborhood!
Joel Embiid was named the MVP for the 2022-2023 season (in an unexpected runaway), and the Sixers stole game one of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Boston Celtics 119-115. James Harden pulled a magnificent performance out of his bag to the tune of 45 points including the dagger three with 8.4 seconds left.
Embiid was named the MVP getting 73 of the first place votes (15 for Nikola Jokic; 12 for Giannis Antetokounmpo) to get his first MVP trophy after being the runner up for the last two seasons. Vindication! The Process worked. Adio and David talk about that as well as thoughts about game one looking ahead to game two on Wednesday night.

Out of Site - Embiid is the MVP ... and the Sixers Steal Game One in Boston

The Philadelphia 76ers have dispatched of the Brooklyn Nets in (not so) dramatic fashion sweeping them after their 96-88 victory in Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon.
The big news going into round two (likely) against the Boston Celtics is the same as it usually is this time of year: the health of one Joel Hans Embiid. We're in the torture chamber, again, Sixers fans. Embiid has an LCL sprain in his knee which is a one to two week recovery, so his availability against the Celtics is looking doubtful for game one on Saturday (if the Celtics close out Atlanta tomorrow night).
All is not doom for the Sixers, however. Tyrese Maxey played like he's absolutely ready for this moment. Tobias Harris has looked good (in round one, anyway). Is James Harden ever going to look like the Harden that was getting All-NBA consideration just a few months ago? Those are the questions headed into round two as we break it down early in the week before any round two games are even scheduled.

Out of Site - Sixers Break out Brooms ... as Boston Looms

The Philadelphia 76ers have entered the final week (or so) of the season, and things did not get off to the best start after losing to the Milwaukee Bucks last night at the Fiserv Forum 117-104.
Joel Embiid continues to try and make his case for MVP, but Giannis Antetokounmpo was not having any of the Sixers gaining ground putting up 33 points and 14 rebounds. Now, the Sixers return home to the Wells Fargo Center to face the second of two-straight games against the top two seeds in the Eastern Conference -- the Boston Celtics.
Adio Royster and David Early go over what went wrong in the Bucks loss last night and preview a Celtics matchup that might be vital for the Sixers (loosely) from a health and load management persepective not to mention further MVP candidacy.

Out of Site - Post Bucks Loss, Pre-Celtics Tip-Off

It has been another weird seven days for Philadelphia 76ers Nation.
The Sixers had been winners of 20 of their last 24 games, climbing the Eastern Conference, and solidifying their position as a top-four team in the East. They looked like a true force to be reckoned with, and while they still do on any given night, losses to the Orlando Magic and New York Knicks made them look tired.
Thankfully, the NBA All-Star Break is approaching. Joel Embiid and James Harden were not named All-Star starters. Embiid was named as a reserve, but is it possible that our dynamic duo could use a rest. That will be discussed by Adio Royster and David Early on this episode of “Out of Site”.
Speaking of dynamic duos, there is a new pair in Dallas as the Brooklyn Nets traded All-Star guard Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and draft picks. How does this trade make the Brooklyn Nets look both now and when Kevin Durant returns from injury. The Nets are currently fourth in the Eastern Conference. While they are still formidable with Durant and a good supporting cast (cast members who will be available on most nights unlike Kyrie), how much of a threat do they pose?
All that plus some bet ideas on Super Bowl 57 between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Emergency pod, Sixers beat Nuggets!
Joel Embiid dominates Nikola Jokic.
Rivalry week is going pretty well in Philly as Embiid just goes absolutely ballistic, willing his team back from a 15 point deficit in a bit home win. James Harden played a masterfully efficient 17 point 13 dimes 0 turnover game. P.J. Tucker earned all his salary today, playing his best game as a Sixer despite almost nothing to show for it in the box score. Tobias Harris must've had some amazing orange slices at the half as he came out the break cooking and finished with a clutch three and steal on Joker. Georges Niang and Shake Milton had a little scrum. The MVP debate has to see a bit of a swing now. Greg argues Jokic should give one of his trophies to Joel. Is it time to give Doc Rivers his praises or nah?

Emergency Podcast! All Things MVP

One. Two. Three, four, five in a row!
The Philadelphia 76ers went a perfect 5-0 on their trip out west with wins over both Los Angeles teams (Lakers, Clippers), the Sacramento Kings, Portland Trailblazers and Utah Jazz. They did this with the usual performances from Joel Embiid and James Harden, but the bench has also come through as well as Embiid and Harden both missed the game against Sacramento.
Speaking of the bench, Tyrese Maxey has been coming off the bench the last few games versus being in the starting lineup. Is this the kind of rotation flexing that Doc Rivers was talking about, and what do Adio Royster and David Early think of it.
After talking about the bench, your hosts give their thoughts on the Sixers win streak and then play a little “Rotation Trust Level” with a column written by Josh Grieb.
After the break, there was a report that Sixers owner Josh Harris was looking to buy the Washington Commanders. How does that play into numerous reports that the Sixers are looking to avoid paying a repeater luxury tax? With the trade deadline looming, does that limit the types of deals that General Manager Daryl Morey is able to make – like a Doug McDermott trade (that Adio is going to celebrate maybe a little too hard if it comes to fruition).
We winnin’, baby!

Joel Embiid scores 41, Tyrese Maxey's new role and the Sixers beat the Clippers to remain perfect on their West Coast road trip. Sixers in Six: With Jas Kang

The last three games have been a bit confusing for your Philadelphia 76ers.
They started by getting beaten by 19 at the crib in South Philadelphia at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. After that embarrassment, they traveled to Salt Lake City to face the Utah Jazz, where they almost lost due to Jordan Clarkson going off for 38 points. Amazingly, they won the game, so it looked good heading to California.
That’s when the Los Angeles Lakers (with no Anthony Davis, just LeBron James) almost won THAT game since LeBron threw down 35 points at Staples Center. These are not the performances you’d like to see from your Sixers, given that the Brooklyn Nets (sans Kevin Durant) and the Milwaukee Bucks (what’s up with Giannis) are catchable in the standings.
The Sixers have upcoming games against the Los Angeles Clippers (Kawhi Leonard, Paul George), Portland Trailblazers (Damian Lillard), and Sacramento Kings (De’Aaron Fox, Kevin Huerter, Malik Monk), who all have guards capable of torching this Sixers defense similar to Shai-Gilgeous Alexander and Jordan Clarkson.
Adio Royster and David Early talk about the possibilities of Doc Rivers tinkering with his starting lineup (finally) and look ahead to those games along with the two big ones: at home versus the Brooklyn Nets and Denver Nuggets.
After the break, Adio and Dave expand more on Doc Rivers’s alleged proposals to change the starting lineup and look ahead to the NBA Trade Deadline with a name you may not have been contemplating before David’s column last week. (That’s the tease. To discover the name, you’ll have to listen.)

Joel Embiid and PJ Tucker return, James Harden has a triple-double help the Sixers put a beatdown on the Pistons. Sixers in Six: With Jas Kang

The theme of today’s Out of Site Podcast on the Liberty Ballers Podcast Network seems to be “the injury report”.
Adio Royster and David Early start the program with the news that Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant will be sidelined for a few weeks due to an MCL sprain. The Nets will re-evaluate him after a few weeks. (There’s a familiar phrase, eh, Sixers fans?) The Philadelphia 76ers are not without their own injury issues, however.
Joel Embiid (who has been upgraded to questionable at the time of this recording) could miss Tuesday night’s game against the Detroit Pistons along with PJ Tucker (who is probable, currently). There is a plan of action that would serve Embiid and the Sixers best when the team begins their west coast road trip this weekend at Utah to play the Jazz followed by games against the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers.
Injury news isn’t all negative. Since returning from a fractured foot, Tyrese Maxey has looked very good in games three and four. The Sixers split those two games, but Maxey appears to have returned to form to be a crafty spark plug in the Sixers' offense.
After the break, Adio and Dave discuss the desire for Matisse Thybulle to get more minutes. In his piece (which was retweeted by Bill Simmons, by the way), Dave explained how much better the Sixers are in the plus/minus column when Thybulle is on the floor and how he should be used in certain matchups – something Adio has been asking for … for some time, now.
To close things out, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Georges Niang has an interest in being a participant in this year's three-point contest at All-Star Weekend in Utah. This would be a great honor for him (as he said in interviews) and a great moment for this Sixers team. There is the concern of a drop-off or slump in shooting that befalls most participants (i.e. Patty Mills last year), but is it worth it for the recognition.
We discuss that and more on this podcast.

Then, they blew a double-digit fourth-quarter lead and suddenly found themselves down four with under a minute remaining in regulation. Fortunately, a pair of huge steals from Tyrese Maxey and James Harden allowed the Sixers to tie the game and force overtime, where they ultimately prevailed, 129-126, to move to 23-14 on the season.

James Harden's minutes, Joel Embiid's dominance, plus too much scoring in the NBA? The 30: With Jackson Frank. 

On this edition of the Thirsty Dogs Drink Faster podcast, Paul Hudrick and Shamus Clancy break down the Eagles’ disappointing loss to the Saints and Jalen Hurts’ possible return in a must-win game over the Giants Sunday. Plus, Joel Embiid’s December to remember, the Phillies signing of Craig Kimbrel and the Flyers letting the kids play.

A rough outing for Gardner Minshew

The gameplan wasn’t great either

No room for doom and gloom with a chance to get the one seed

The boost Hurts will provide on the field and emotionally

Will the Giants play their starters?

Embiid is the East’s Player of the Month

But he’ll never win MVP ... and might not be an All-Star starter

Where does Embiid fit among all-time scoring bigs?

James Harden, playing defense?!

The Kimbrel signing and where he fits in the bullpen

The Eagles still haven't clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC, Joel Embiid is Eastern Conference Player of the Month and more. TDDF: With Paul Hudrick and Shamus Clancy. 

The Philadelphia 76ers opened their 2023 calendar year with a rematch with the New Orleans Pelicans at the crib in South Philadelphia.
After being torched by Pelicans guard CJ McCollum in a loss in New Orleans, the Sixers did a better job of limiting his production. McCollum only scored 26 points, and the defense stepped up in a 120-111 win on Monday night.
Zion Williamson had 26 points, six rebounds and seven assists before leaving in the third quarter. With Zion out, the Pelicans did not have enough firepower to keep the Sixers from getting their first home win of 2023. Joel Embiid finished with 42 points and 11 rebounds. James Harden had 27 points and 8 assists, and Georges Niang continued his blazing shooting pouring in 15 points off the bench (5/9 from three).
Tyrese Maxey played his first game on the home court, and he looked to be getting back to form with his transition play and finishing ability – which is even more good news for this Sixers team.
As the Sixers look forward to the next week and a half, Adio Royster and Jovan Alford of Total Sports Live (filling in for David Early) look to see how the Sixers can rack up wins prior to their west coast road trip in the middle of January followed by two pivotal games at the end of the month against the Brooklyn Nets and Denver Nuggets.
In part two of the podcast, Adio and Jovan get into the New Year’s spirit with some “New Year’s Resolutions” that they would like to see the Sixers employ going into the next few weeks and months before the All-Star Break.
Happy New Year, Sixers Nation. The year is started off right, so let’s keep it tight!

Joel Embiid drops 42 points and grabs 11 rebounds to help Sixers beat Pelicans. Out of Site podcast: With Adio Royster and Jovan Alford. 

In this episode, Dave Early joins Sean to recap the Sixers' 127-116 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

The vibes were positive for the Philadelphia 76ers heading into Friday night’s contest in New Orleans, as Tyrese Maxey made his long-awaited return from a fractured foot. Meanwhile, New Orleans was missing Brandon Ingram and Herb Jones, but those absences did not slow the Pelicans one bit. Led by a career-high 11 three-pointers from CJ McCollum for 42 points, and 36 points from Zion Williamson.

TDDF: Shamus is out this week, so Paul dishes out on the Eagles' recent loss to the Cowboys, plus Joel Embiid and James Harden finding their groove for the Sixers. 

Christmas time has passed.
Christmas time has passed.
(Just assume your hosts are singing that like in the beginning of “A Charlie Brown Christmas”.)
The Philadelphia 76ers have won eight in a row after their 119-112 victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Christmas Day. The boys in red and white (very Christmassy, by the way) were fueled by performances by Joel Embiid (35 points, eight rebounds), James Harden (29 points, 13 assists) as well as some hot shooting from De’Anthony Melton and Georges Niang – particularly from the “Mini Van” in the fourth quarter.
Things are going good. So, something has to happen to change the mood, right?
Well, the mood is improved even moreso thanks to a report from Jackson Frank that says that Tyrese Maxey could be returning to the lineup THIS FRIDAY against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Sixers commented that Maxey might be put on a minutes restriction to start since he is returning from a fractured foot. With Maxey’s return, Adio Royster and David Early try to figure out what kind of boost the young 22-year-old guard will bring to a team that is surging.
The pendulum swung the other way with a report to dampen moods a little. Before the game against the Knicks, a report from Woj suggested that James Harden is interested in returning to the Houston Rockets in the off-season. We don’t know where the report came from. We don’t know what purpose the report serves, but as always, it is worth unpacking because we’ve seen this playbook from Harden in the past.
Another report from Ian Begley hints that the Knicks have discussed internally about the prospect of trading for Tobias Harris. Is that transaction even possible? Do the Knicks have anyone the Sixers would want to get the team to the NBA Finals?
Lastly, Adio adds a new title to his list of many responsibilities at Liberty Ballers. Rex Chapman may have cornered the market on the “block or charge” debate on Twitter, but who’s doing it ON actual podcasts. Well, Adio is with his “Yams Defender” segment towards the end of the pod.
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year, Sixers Nation

Jalen Hurts is injured going into Eagles vs. Cowboys. Plus, the Sixers have won five straight games. Thirsty Dogs Drink Faster: With Paul Hudrick and Shamus Clancy..

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.

Thirsty Dogs Drink Faster: Jalen Hurts is the MVP favorite as the Eagles blow out the Giants. Plus, Joel Embiid is back to his dominant self. With Paul Hudrick and Shamus Clancy.

Happy Monday, Philadelphia 76ers fans!
The Sixers have won two in a row (over the Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Hornets, respectively), and things are looking up (?). Assume the casual optimism there, of one of your hosts.
Joel Embiid has been playing magnificently over the last week, and his efforts earned him his second Eastern Conference Player of the Week award after putting up 53 against Charlotte following yet another herculean effort in overtime against the Lakers. Is all of this too much? It may sound like a broken record at this point, but what happened to the load management of the stars?
Embiid and James Harden have logged heavy minutes all season. Recently, Harden’s management has been frustrating after what seems like he was rushed back from a foot injury. In his first game back, he played way more minutes than he probably should have in that loss to the Houston Rockets. If the goal is getting everyone healthy come playoff time, the Sixers coaching staff is failing at that goal.
That’s one item discussed on today’s podcast. After the break, Adio and Dave go around the league to see the shocking rise of the New Orleans Pelicans in the Western Conference – shouldered by the play of a healthy Zion Williamson. It’s also the first time (and not the last) that Bol Bol will be mentioned on this podcast if he continues to play better.
It’s a fun podcast, Sixers fans. Adio and Dave are with you, along with Adio’s nephew, “The Man Cub”, in the background.

How?
How did the Philadelphia 76ers lose to the Houston Rockets 132-123 on a night when James Harden returned to the Sixers' starting lineup after (allegedly) healing from a foot injury?
How did the Sixers lose to a Houston Rockets team that (before tonight) had six wins on the season?
Why did this team with Harden returning to the lineup with Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris (who quietly had another VERY GOOD game) need double overtime only to lose by nine in a game where they should have beat the brakes off a young, inexperienced team?
There are no words to describe tonight’s loss, but your hosts Adio Royster and David Early will attempt to rationalize it as best they can. The Rockets won this game. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. They controlled the pace after falling behind 10-0 to start the game. The Rockets outrebounded the Sixers. They played harder than the Sixers. They had more heart than the Sixers.

Joel Embiid comes back and dominates. Hear from Tobias Harris and Doc Rivers after the Sixers' win over Atlanta: Sixers in Six with Jas Kang

Welcome back, Joel Hans Embiid!
The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Atlanta Hawks at the crib at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia by a final score of 104-101. The Sixers were given a little extra Cameroonian gas when it was announced that Embiid would be returning from injury – unexpectedly, if you ask your hosts Adio Royster and David Early.
That said, Embiid led the Sixers to the win scoring 30 points and adding eight rebounds and seven assists. Tobias Harris paced the team to start and finished with 24 and ten rebounds. Shake Milton continued his hot scoring streak with 21, and as a result, the Sixers move into fifth place in the Eastern Conference, with James Harden set to return within the next week or two.
The defense was equally as impressive as their offensive attack holding All-Star guard Trae Young to 18 points off 6/14 from the field and only one of four from three-point range. Now that the Sixers have hit a bit of a stride with some unexpected places, they head to Memphis and Cleveland later this week.
In part two of the podcast, Adio and Dave reflect on the return of one Benjamin Simmons to the Wells Fargo Center last week and what the atmosphere seemed like as the boos and the jeers of the crowd oozed through televisions and reverberations of said boos could be felt all over the city of Philadelphia.
Now that we’re officially past the first visit, how could it/should it be any time Simmons comes to town? Adio and Dave discuss that and more on tonight’s podcast.

Shorthanded Sixers beat Ben Simmons and the Nets: The 30: With Jas Kang and Jackson Frank

Dave and cohost fill-in Greg Dennis wonder if the team stepped on the gas (again) too much here with their top stars.
If they were more careful with Harden, could they have kept Maxey and Joel’s minutes down a little more? Or is that asking too much? Why were they so all in for late October? Is that on Morey, or did Doc feel the heat?
So now Ben Simmons will return as a player to Wells Fargo Arena, but there are no key Sixers to play! Truth is stranger than fiction, and we’ll see that in the “marquis” B-Ball Paul vs. Ben Simmons, Shake Milton vs. Kevin Durant headliner matchups.

Thirsty Dogs Drink Faster: The Eagles' undefeated streak ends, Joel Embiid is back to his dominant self and everything else from the Philadelphia sports scene. With Paul Hudrick and Shamus Clancy. 

On a regularly scheduled Out of Site Podcast (not a late Monday night post-game podcast), hosts Adio Royster and David Early give their final thoughts on one of the most epic Philadelphia 76ers and/or Joel Embiid performances of all time. Embiid scored 59 points and added 11 rebounds, eight assists and seven blocks in a 105-98 win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night. Despite the performance by Embiid and despite the Sixers being 7-7 after beating the Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns last week, why are your hosts still a little bit nervous about the team's prospects going forward? Could it be because the Sixers are having to lean VERY heavily on Embiid in the absence of James Harden (who won't be back until December)? Could it be because head coach Doc Rivers continues to sow doubts in this team's championship aspirations for the regular season and (more importantly) the playoffs? Adio and David give their thoughts on how the team has looked over the past week, as well as diving a bit into worst-case scenarios if Rivers is still the coach come playoff time

Thirsty Dogs Drink Faster: The Phillies' magical run is over, the Eagles are 8-0, Joel Embiid is back and more! With Paul Hudrick and Shamus Clancy.

On an all-new "Out of Sight" podcast, co-hosts Adio Royster and Dave Early get into the Sixers' so far signature win of the season over the scorching Suns. Joel Embiid looked a bit sluggish, and not quite healthy, but he still had a Michael Jordan Flu game light, dropping a cool 33 and 10 on D-Book and co. Tyrese Maxey had another off-game by his now lofty standards. It appears he misses his good friend James Harden. We chop up Paul Reed getting burn over Montrezl, Bang Bang Georges Niang, and Tobias stepping it up. Then they look ahead at the upcoming schedule and chat about the team mismanaging Harden's early season workload.

Thirsty Dogs Drink Faster: Game 3 of the World Series, the Eagles are 7-0 and the Sixers are streaking! With Paul Hudrick and Shamus Clancy.

On an all-new episode of the “Out of Sight” podcast, hosted by Adio Royster and Dave Early, the pair talk about the Sixers’ 118-111 win over the Washington Wizards.
They didn’t have Joel Embiid, but it wasn’t a problem. Adio and Dave talk about how good Tyrese Maxey and James Harden looked leading the charge. And how there’s a general faith in this team that wasn’t there in prior seasons to win these no-Joel games.
We give some credit to P.J. Tucker, Georges Niang, and Montrezl Harrell for that. And De’Anthony Melton played his best offensive game in the uniform, looking comfortable as a two-way player.

Out of Site: Without Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey steps up and leads Sixers to a win over the Wizards. With Dave Early. 

In this Talking About Podcast episode, Sean Kennedy and Dave Early discuss Maxey’s career-high 44 points. The 21-year-old shot 15-of-20 from the field, including 9-of-12 from three-point range, going a perfect 10-of-10 from the field and 7-of-7 on three-pointers in the first half. He became the first Sixer in franchise history to hit his first seven threes, and the first Sixer since Lou Williams in 2010 to sink his first 10 field goals. He now pulls without hesitation from 30 feet, while still having a swiss-army knife set of tools in the floater game and around the basket.

The Phillies are in the World Series, and the Sixers play four games next week. The gang gives their predictions for both!

The 30: Previewing the Philadelphia 76ers 2022-23 NBA season. With Paul Hudrick. 

Before the Sixers officially get the 2022-2023 season underway, Adio Royster and Dave Early jump on the microphones to chat about the entirety of the Atlantic Division. Since this is the division the Sixers are a part of, it’s good to give a quick podcast of thoughts and ideas as far as where each team sits – using odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.
The Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks all have decent prop bets to lay some money on. Adio and David give some of their best opinions based on some of the value that you might be able to get. Each of these teams can lay a claim to a playoff berth, and there are cases to be made for either of the teams that are not the Sixers to win the Atlantic Division – depending on how confident you REALLY ARE about the Knicks.

Thirsty Dogs Drink Faster: The Eagles are the last unbeaten team in the NFL, the Sixers begin the preseason and the Phillies end their postseason drought. With Paul Hudrick. 

The NBA season has begun. (The pre-season has begun, anyway.)
Regardeless of that, the Philadelphia 76ers are back playing basketball outside of scrimmages and practices. It’s time to face other NBA opponents! The first of which was the Brooklyn Nets last night where the Sixers won in Brooklyn by the score of 127-108.
Obviously, there’s a reason why this game had special meaning to it. It was the first time any of us got to see what Ben Simmons would look like playing with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. (Many Sixers fans made the trip up to Brooklyn, and kudos to you guys. Ya’ll are the real MVPs.) For the Sixers, neither Joel Embiid nor James Harden played to keep them healthy and fresh for the regular season.
Among the regularly scheduled starters, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris played a half of basketball each before being sent to the bench to rest for the second half. Maxey had an incredible first seven minutes scoring 14 points and adding three assists before exiting with 20 points. Harris looked okay scoring nine points with the time he was allotted (more on that idea in the second half of the podcast).
Sixers fans also got to see a few new additions to the roster like Montrezl Harrell and De’Anthony Melton. How did everyone look? Adio Royster and Dave Early answer those questions as well as talk about the idea of summer chemistry leading to success in season. Joel Embiid is now an American citizen, and what kind of new facial gear should Embiid come on the court with this year.
(His face isn’t broken. You’ll just have to listen to the pod to see what we mean.)

Today’s Out of Site Podcast on the Liberty Ballers Podcast Network is all about the media!
(It’s not in the way you may be thinking, however.)
Monday was Media Day for the Philadelphia 76ers at the Camden, New Jersey practice facility. It was the first time all of the Sixers were in the same place since the addition after addition during the off-season. All of the major players were there: Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey. They were joined by new Sixers P.J. Tucker, De’Anthony Melton and Danuel House.
All of Sixers media were in attendance to get a sense of how the team is feeling going into this season with all of the new additions and (according to Joel Embiid) the loss of a large weight of drama. Speaking of weight, James Harden joked he had lost 100 pounds. Take from that what you will, Sixers fans.
Hosts Adio Royster and David Early break down some of the major points about yesterday’s media day including the more “we” vs “me” attitude that seems to have taken hold of the locker room. They also talk about the revelation of P.J. Tucker’s arthroscopic surgery – which no one knew about prior to his contract being offered.
The roster should be very competitive, so Adio and David discuss who has to work a little harder to carve out significant minutes.
In part two of the podcast, your hosts are closing the book (for now) on Ben Simmons between what he had to say on the JJ Redick podcast as well as comments he made at Brooklyn Nets media day when a reporter asked if he was going to shoot any more than he had in previous years.
