That's Ball Folks! Episode 9: The Return of The Process

Wed, 03 Apr 2024 09:00:00 -0000

JOEL HANS EMBIID HAS RETURNED TO SAVE THE SIXERS SEASON & I COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT IT. I chat all things Embiid, his return in a win against the OKC Thunder, Kelly Oubre Jr showing up big time, the odds of the Sixers moving into 7th for a possible matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks, Maxey, Lowry, Melton, Buddy & more on the Sixers side. I also discuss the phenomenal weekend of college hoops we just witnessed. Caitlin Clark being absolute 1000% must see tv, Angel Reese and LSU, JuJu Watkins and USC, Paige Bueckers and UCONN and everything about all of them. I also dive into the mens Final 4 & why I hope NC State and DJ Burns ride this hot streak one more week. A-Rod botching the Wolves sale, NCAA blowing it as usual, give Luka the MVP, Edey isn't a lottery talent & so, so much more!

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 09:00:00 -0000

Kelly Oubre Jr. cements himself in Philadelphia sports history with one of the single greatest postgame rants towards the refs that we've ever seen. I chat about the current state of the Sixers while they await the return of the MVP, an outlook of the rest of the regular season, Draymond Green making Steph Curry cry (literally), the Caitlin Clark hate solidifies her GOAT status, sports betting and gambling has already taken a wrong turn (SHOCKER), I make my Pat McAfee Show debut, people continue to confuse me with newly signed Denver Broncos WR Josh Reynolds on Twitter, Sweet 16 preview and so much more!

I don't want to do it, but we have to... We finally dive into the nightmare that currently is Tobias Harris. I try to sell Cuban on helping me buyout his contract, Kyle Lowry's Sixer debut, discuss the Doc Rivers blame deflection media tour, JJ Redick going in, PatBev having his coaches back, Austin Rivers having his Dads back & Draymond recapping it all.

Out of Site: Embiid Out (for real this time) ... There goes the Season

Fri, 02 Feb 2024 21:22:37 -0000

There's the calendar new year.

There's the lunar new year.

... and there's the new year that happens every year in Philadelphia 76ers land. It is the day where we ultimately come to hear the news that Joel Embiid will be sidelined with a serious injury that will cause him to miss multiple weeks/months of an NBA season. This time, after seemingly forcing himself to play in the game against the Golden State Warriors, Embiid has now been diagnosed with a meniscus injury. At the time of this recording, it is unclear if it is a tear or something less severe. One thing is for sure. The big man will be out for a period of time.

Who's to blame for all of this? The answer is the usual cast of characters. It's on the Sixers for not putting their foot down and protecting their franchise cornerstone. It is on Embiid who forced himself to play despite evidence that he shouldn't have been out there against the Warriors. It is on the NBA for implementing the 65-game minimum rule for in-season awards. It is on media types like Kendrick Perkins and/or Stephen A. Smith who pushed a narrative in one way or another that got into Embiid's ear. There is plenty of blame to go around. It is a potluck of blame, and so many deserve to have a nice big plate of dinner.

Embiid's season may (or may not) be over, but the Sixers season continues. Tyrese Maxey is playing at a (confirmed) All-Star level as the guard has been named to his first All-Star Team, but what does the team do now? As always, it depends on the doctors' evaluation of Embiid's knee to ascertain how serious an injury it is and how much time he will miss. The strategies for the season have changed with the trade deadline weeks away and the Sixers owning a top-four spot in the Eastern Conference. As great as Maxey has been, the Sixers may not have the firepower to defeat the Boston Celtics or Milwaukee Bucks in a playoffs series (let alone the talented teams in the Western Conference).

That's Ball Folks! Episode 4: EMBIID DROPS 70

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 10:00:00 -0000

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO ACCURATELY DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL ABOUT WHAT WE WITNESSED. Joel Hans Embiid. 70 piece. History. Simply amazing. I dive deep into the single greatest offensive performance that I've ever seen, how it stacks up historically, what it means for Embiid's 2024 MVP case & marvel some more on the performance. I also talk KAT, Wemby, why it's more than ok to appreciate greatness even though it's January, this weekends round 2 matchup with Jokic & so much more!

Out of Site: Embiid Bests the Joker, Siakim Trade Limits Sixers Options

Thu, 18 Jan 2024 07:00:00 -0000

On today's episode of the Out of Site Podcast, Adio Royster has to eat a little bit of crow as the Philadelphia 76ers defeat Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets 126-121 in South Philadelphia this past Tuesday. (For context, Adio continues to state that Jokic is the best center in the NBA followed closely - his words - by Joel Embiid). Embiid played well. Tyrese Maxey threw in another excellent night in close to 43 minutes played, and stop us when you've heard this: "Tobias Harris has been looking good in the month of January".

All of this to say that the Sixers are looking very interesting as a potential contender for the NBA Championship this year, buyers at the NBA Trade Deadline in a few weeks, and an intriguing team to watch in the off-season with all of the potential cap space and assets that General Manager Daryl Morey was able to acquire with the James Harden trade. The Indiana Pacers sent a few players and draft picks to the Toronto Raptors for Pascal Siakim, so that deletes one name from the list of potential targets the Sixers could be trading for. Do the Sixers go after a different potential third star or work the margins and make a ripple or two somehow with buyout possibilities like Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward or Atlanta Hawks guard Patty Mills.

The Sixers could still be in the market for Chicago Bulls guards Zach Lavine and Alex Caruso as well as Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray. We'll have to see what Daryl has planned in a few weeks. In the meantime, let's gobble up and eat some more of these wins!

That's Ball Folks! Episode 3: Embiid Outduels Jokic

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 10:00:00 -0000

JOEL EMBIID IS THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER ON THE PLANET. PERIOD. Joel Embiid makes his return to action with back-to-back 40 pieces in wins against the Rockets and Nuggets & I just can't get enough of it. The timing of Embiid's return could not have possibly been better, with the Birds crushing our hearts this weekend, but we aren't going to talk about that... I discuss Embiid's dominance, his now 6-2 overall record against Jokic, why NBA players have nothing but amazing things to say about Joel despite 12 year olds on Twitter bashing him, Paul George showing love, KD showing love, Jokic showing love... You love to see it. I also chat the Utah Jazz hot streak, NBA trades heating up, the Grizzlies with the worst injury luck ever, the nightmare that are the Golden State Warriors, the Clippers extending their guys & so much more!

Out of Site: Sixers (once again!) Fumble Embiid's Health + Trade Possibilities

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 07:00:00 -0000

The happiness of last week's podcast is all but gone now that Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid has missed the last few games with a knee injury.

Adio Royster and David Early express frustrations with the Sixers coaching staff (seemingly) continuing to mismanage Embiid's minutes based on his health. After an awkward landing against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Embiid continued to play and now hasn't been in the lineup since the January 5th game against the New York Knicks. He will miss tonight's game when the Sacramento Kings come to the crib in South Philadelphia, but with a handful of significant games (two against the Denver Nuggets and one game each against standings chasers Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic), how detrimental will that decision be? The Sixers are currently 2-7 on the year when Embiid is out, and Tyrese Maxey (who has been playing out of his mind, lately) can only carry the team so much on his 6'0" frame.

After the break, now that OG Anunoby has been traded to the Knicks since the last podcast, Adio and Dave go through the potential tier list of players who the Sixers might want to think about targeting come the trade deadline. Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam is a name that continues to swirl around the league, but now, Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray has also come up as a potential target for some teams. Will the Sixers make some kind of move to widen the championship window this year or keep calm and carry on this season in order to have more options this upcoming offseason?

That's Ball Folks! Episode 2: Injuries Suck

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 10:00:00 -0000

The injury bug bit league wide, bit hard & it couldn't suck worse... Joel Embiid's knee injury, Tyrese Haliburton's hammy, Ja Morant's shoulder... Brutal. I dive into what Joel Embiid's MVP bid looks like this season with the new games played threshold, what the NBA was possibly thinking with their back-to-backs scheduled this season, what's up with the Bucks, Giannis' outrageous postgame quotes, Wemby the one man highlight, Jokic' game winner & insane stat line against Detroit, the nightmare that is the Golden State Warriors, Draymond makes his return to podcasting (& the court), PatBev's quote about Embiid having the greatest season of all-time, a trade deadline glimpse from the Sixers point of view, a little college basketball highlight & much more!

Out of Site: We Back! ... and the Sixers are Fun!

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 07:00:00 -0000

It has been a long time since your hosts Adio Royster and David Early got together to talk Philadelphia 76ers. Maybe they just haven't been able to formulate the takes and stunning commentary you would expect (given the off-season) because they've had to flip the script.

Subtract James Harden. Subtract Doc Rivers. Insert Nick Nurse. Insert Tyrese Maxey.

After all of that, your Sixers are 23-10 after 33 games of the 2023-2024 season, and there is a lot to be happy about. The team looks clean and crisp. They're a game back of the Milwaukee Bucks for the 2-seed and three back of the Boston Celtics for the top seed in the conference. Who knew all of this was possible? They should have known given Joel Embiid expanding and continuing on his MVP-iid level play as well as Tyrese Maxey taking yet another leap, offensively.

Adio and David discuss all of that as well as what the Sixers should do going forward in terms of trade possibilities. (Note: Yes, Adio did bring up D'Angelo Russell as part of his personal crusade to get D'Lo in a Sixers uniform.)

Out of Site: The Drew Hanlen Interview

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 05:00:00 -0000

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!

All of that and more on today's podcast.

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

Tue, 22 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0000

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

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0000

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 Fans Down on the Off-Season? Plus Lillard and Harden Updates

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0000

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

Thu, 06 Jul 2023 04:20:00 -0000

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

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 04:15:00 -0000

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 - Harden Back because of a Beal Deal to Phoenix?

Wed, 21 Jun 2023 04:15:00 -0000

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.

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 13:23:13 -0000

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 - Helloooooo, Nurse! ... and an NBA Finals Preview

Wed, 31 May 2023 11:00:00 -0000

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.

I also introduce a new segment "Masterclass" where we dive deep into the details of Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin, his unbelievable game 7 performance and what even led him to be in a Miami Heat uniform in the first place.

Out of Site - Sixers Going from a Doc to a Nurse?

Tue, 23 May 2023 09:00:00 -0000

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? Is there a "perfect path"?

Mon, 15 May 2023 21:33:18 -0000

Here we are, again, Philadelphia 76ers fans.

Another year. Another failed playoff run.

We were told this team was different. We were told this team was ready for the moment. The Sixers were going to do all of it "for the love of Philly", but once again, for the fourth time in six appearances, the Sixers lost in the second round to the Boston Celtics.

Adio Royster and David Early go over what went wrong in the series finale on Sunday night. There is a lot of blame to go around, so who gets it?

After the game seven therapy session, it's (sadly) time to talk about another Sixers off-season -- one with several questions regarding the head coach and James Harden. Will both be back? One or the other? Neither?

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

Wed, 03 May 2023 00:34:26 -0000

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.

We love special engagement podcasts on this thread, and we appreciate the great guests we have when that happens. Today is no different.

Philadelphia 76ers fans, your play-by-play announcer on NBC Sports Philadelphia, Kate Scott joins Adio Royster and David Early on the podcast, today.

In her second season broadcasting, Kate has already seen a lot, and this season has been as action packed as any. Kate talks to Dave and Adio about Joel Embiid's health going into a potential second round matchup against the Boston Celtics (or the Atlanta Hawks), her thoughts on James Harden, and what she's loved since joining the Sixers. She shares her insight on how she got to where she is and what it's been like to step into the shoes of Mark Zumoff.

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

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 23:28:17 -0000

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.

Your hosts Adio Royster and David Early are just getting you mentally prepared, folks!

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 - Post Bucks Loss, Pre-Celtics Tip-Off

Mon, 03 Apr 2023 23:25:32 -0000

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 featuring Howard Beck - MVP Voting 101

Thu, 30 Mar 2023 22:19:01 -0000

The Out of Site Podcast is back!

Many things have changed since our hiatus, but one thing has remained the same. Joel Embiid is absolutely crushing the 2022-2023 NBA season, and he is first (or second depending on your stance if you're a voter) in NBA Most Valuable Player rankings.

Adio Royster and David Early return to the podcast air to talk about Embiid's MVP caliber season with seasoned NBA writer (and MVP voter) Howard Beck!

Beck is talking to your hosts after speaking with Zach Lowe on "The Lowe Post" podcast, and your hosts want to get the skinny on how he votes from year to year as well as whether or not discourse or fan outrage on Twitter sways his decision in any way.

The podcast is back, and we just want to say ... "What up, Beck?"

Out of Site with Adio Royster and David Early: Kyrie to Dallas!?! That's Good for us, Right?

Tue, 07 Feb 2023 03:05:23 -0000

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.

#GoBirds!

Peace, love and Sixers!

Yo! Welcome to the That's Ball Folks! Podcast - I am incredibly hyped to have you here. THEY HATE THE PROCESS. This episode I take a deep dive into why they hate The Process, including leaving Joel Embiid off the All-Star starters, leaving James Harden off the All-Star team completely and all things in between. I chat about the Birds heading to the Super Bowl, the NBA turned UFC, why the NBA is the greatest reality TV show on the planet, Kyrie Irving's sorry ass, the NBA trade deadline & so much more!

Talking About the Sixers starting their road trip off right in San Antonio

Sat, 04 Feb 2023 05:03:00 -0000

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that was certainly the case for the Sixers' second quarter in San Antonio, as Philadelphia put up 47 points in the frame, their highest total in a quarter this season. The Sixers would go on to defeat the Spurs, 137-125, led by 33 points from Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey's 25 points off the bench.

In this Talking About Podcast post-game episode, Sean Kennedy and Dave Early discuss the strong effort from the bench, with Shake Milton and Georges Niang also joining Maxey in double digits. They then cover James Harden egregiously being left off the All-Star team, and the latest drama in Brooklyn with Kyrie Irving requesting a trade.

Emergency Podcast! All Things MVP

Sun, 29 Jan 2023 00:43:16 -0000

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?

Then, we talk about our NFL gut feelings. Where do the Eagles stack up with this Final Four?

Talking About the Intense Brooklyn Win and Joel Embiid's All-Star Starter Snub

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 22:37:13 -0000

On the latest episode of the Talking About Podcast, Sean Kennedy and David Early discuss the Sixers' intense, playoff-atmosphere win over Brooklyn, the team's sixth straight as they've moved up to second place in the Eastern Conference. What is Brooklyn to do about Ben Simmons? Was Joel Embiid trying to do too much? Does the Sixers' defense have a prayer of slowing down the Nets if everyone is healthy?

Sean and Dave try to answer those questions, plus rant about Joel Embiid's All-Star snub, and preview the Sixers' big Saturday afternoon game against the Western Conference-leading Nuggets.

Out of Site with Adio Royster and David Early: Philadelphia 76ers go West Coast Swinging!

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 02:04:49 -0000

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!

Peace. Love, and Sixers.

Talking About the Second-Place Sixers and Joel Embiid’s Dominance

Sat, 21 Jan 2023 20:58:55 -0000

The Sixers are in (a tie for) second place! With the team having won the first four games of their five-game West Coast road trip, and 17 of their last 21 games overall, Philadelphia has moved to 29-16 on the season, in lockstep with Milwaukee for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference.

On this week’s Talking About Podcast, Sean Kennedy and David Early cover whether this recent run of success has changed their outlook on the ceiling for this Sixers’ team. With the second seed much more there for the taking than a few weeks ago, should the team’s view on load management be adjusted at all? How much more optimistic are they about the Sixers’ postseason success given the recent on-court synergies between Joel Embiid and James Harden.

Plus, Embiid is up to 3rd on the MVP Ladder and putting up historic numbers. Why do people still insist on criticizing his playing style? (Looking at you, Hakeem!)

With Giannis struggling and Durant hurt, can the Sixers overtake the Bucks and Nets in the standings? Out of Site podcast: With Adio Royster and Dave Early.

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 01:30:20 -0000

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.)

Also covered: the recent discourse surrounding Harden's All Star candidacy this season, debating the Sixers overall worst loss thus far, and the Eagles, as the squad wrapped up the #1 seed in the NFC last Sunday.

Injuries are impacting the Sixers and Nets with Joel Embiid and Kevin Durant getting hurt. How does this impact the East? Out of Site: With Dave Early.

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 02:16:30 -0000

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.

Peace. Love, and Go Sixers.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (152) Sixers Continue Winning Ways, Embiid Day-to-Day

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 03:52:37 -0000

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve, Emily and Dan discuss how the Sixers have continued their winning ways, going 3-1 since last they spoke to you, with wins over the Pelicans, Thunder and Pacers. They discuss P.J. Tucker's disappointing season thus far, James Harden's defense, and whether or not Joel Embiid's current foot pain is a cause for concern.

No Embiid, No problem. Without the big man, Sixers beat Pacers in OT. Talking About Podcast: With Sean Kennedy and Dave Early.

Thu, 05 Jan 2023 04:02:26 -0000

Without Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers looked to be on their way to a low-stress win at home against the Indiana Pacers. 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.

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.

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 23:53:14 -0000

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
When John Tortorella plays the Flyers’ good players, they win

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

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 03:48:53 -0000

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!

Tyrese Maxey returns, but the Sixers come up short against Pelicans. Talking About Podcast.. With Dave Early.

Sat, 31 Dec 2022 05:09:03 -0000

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.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (151) Sixers Finally Lose & Discussing all things Harden with Fox Sports' Yaron Weitzman

Fri, 30 Dec 2022 04:30:16 -0000

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve, Dan and Emily discuss the Sixers' eight game winning streak which came to an end this week as the team fell in predictable (but frustrating) fashion to the Wizards in Washington. What did they make of the loss, or the previous two games -- a Christmas day fun win over the Knicks in MSG or a come-from-behind win-of-the-year against the Clippers? They talk lots about the tremendous play of Joel Embiid and James Harden, plus P.J. Tucker's dead hand and Tyrese Maxey's imminent return.

In the second half of the pod, the Gastro Gang welcomes back to the show Yaron Weitzman of Fox Sports. The Tanking to the Top author most recently published an excellent, in depth exclusive interview with Harden, and he was kind enough to sit down to talk about how the piece came together and what Harden was like throughout their meetings. They touch on Harden and Embiid's relationship, his answer about Game 6 against Miami from last season's Playoffs, the recent report that he may prefer to head back to Houston this summer, and much more.

Out of Site: The Sixers are one of the hottest teams in the NBA after winning eight in a row, is this team a legitimate championship contender? With Dave Early..

Tue, 27 Dec 2022 00:11:17 -0000

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

Namely, they single out Tobias Harris for his excellent play this season and for transforming his game to be exactly what this team needs. Good on you, Tobi.

Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris lead Sixers to comeback overtime win against Raptors. Out of Site podcast with Adio Royster and Dave Early.

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 03:57:40 -0000

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!

Joel Embiid is leading the league in scoring, James Harden is back to playing well and even trying most of the time, and the role players are hitting shots. They dive into some hilariously contradictory quotes from the players and Doc Rivers, the play of Tobias Harris, and Dad Joel making an appearance.

Plus: thoughts on Joel taking note of Sixers fans online throwing him in the trade machine (is this something or nothing?) and The Ringer's player rankings, straight up and League Pass edition.

Joel Embiid is the Eastern Conference player of the week, but is Doc Rivers playing his stars too many minutes? Out of Site: With Adio Royster and Dave Early.

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 03:57:47 -0000

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.

The Phillies land Trea Turner, plus A.J. Brown's revenge game. Thirsty Dogs Drink Faster: With Paul Hudrick and Shamus Clancy.

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 23:49:50 -0000

Phillies are poised to be good for quite some time

A.J. Brown is so good he got a GM fired
Why does it feel like the Eagles still aren’t getting respect at 11-1?
The Sixers’ road trip comes to an end
James Harden was not sharp in his return
Why does it feel like the Sixers are further from their title than ever?

James Harden returns but the Sixers lose in double overtime to the Houston Rockets. Out of Site podcast. With Adio Royster and Dave Early

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 05:15:27 -0000

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.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (147) Embiid is Back and Let's Forget about the Cleveland Game

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 01:14:58 -0000

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Emily, Dan and Steve discuss the Sixers getting blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers and Doc Rivers; hilarious quotes from after the game.

Joel Embiid returns and leads the Sixers to a win over the Atlanta Hawks. Out of Site podcast: With Adio Royster and Dave Early.

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 04:00:10 -0000

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.

Out of Site: The Sixers' terrible injury luck continues. No Joel Embiid, James Harden or Tyrese Maxey when Ben Simmons returns to Philly. With Dave Early and Greg Dennis.

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 02:46:26 -0000

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.

Out of Site: Recapping Joel Embiid's magical night, doubt in Doc Rivers and more with Dave Early.

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 18:26:27 -0000

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

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (144) The Sixers Look Bad but Don't Worry It's Not Doc's Fault

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 04:21:35 -0000

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve and Dan discuss another bleh Sixers loss, this time at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks on the road. Why does this years team feel and look so utterly uninspiring? Sure, James Harden is out, but so often the team's effort and zip seems to drift and lead to performances like tonight, where they could neither get enough key stops nor score enough points to stay in the game. They talk about Joel Embiid's demeanor in the early part of this season, Tyrese Maxey's shooting struggles of late, and P.J. Tucker's workload.

Plus: they go through the article from that circled Philadelphia media this week about how Doc Rivers shoudln't be the scapegoat for the Sixers' troubles. What does the piece imply about Rivers' standing with the team? How much longer will he remain the coach? All that and some assorted thoughts on the Sixers' new uniforms and the ongoing saga in Brooklyn, as well.

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.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (143) Harden is Hurt, Sixers Win some Games, the Nets are Disgusting

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 21:18:00 -0000

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Emily and Steve begin by discussing the unfortunate news of the day: James Harden is set to miss a month's time due to a foot injury. How will Harden's injury impact the following: Joel Embiid? Doc Rivers? Tyrese Maxey? De'Anthony Melton? Kemba Walker?? Listen to find out whether or not the hosts find Harden's elongated injury to be a big problem or not.

They also discuss the week of games, where the Sixers went 3-1 and held its weight without Embiid. This week showcased to the gang Maxey's star potential (or reality) Melton and Georges Niang's value, and just how much Doc Rivers seems to loathe Paul Reed.

In the second half of the pod, they discuss the NBA's decision to dock the Sixers' two future second round picks due to improper offseason contact with P.J. Tucker and Danuel House -- a decision both hosts found to be completely random and hypocritical.

And finally, they talk about the mess going on in Brooklyn, from Kyrie Irving's devolution into antisemitism to the team's shambolic pursuit of suspended head coach Ime Udoka.

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.

Talking About Podcast: Tyrese Maxey drops a career-high, leads the Joel Embiid-less Sixers to a big win over the Toronto Raptors. With Dave Early.

Sat, 29 Oct 2022 02:49:40 -0000

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 Gastroenteritis Blues: (142) Sixers Fall to 1-4, Doc’s chances of being fired, Will anyone step up?

Thu, 27 Oct 2022 22:45:02 -0000

On today’s episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Dan and Emily break down the up and (mostly) down week for the Sixers, including a brief breakdown of the Spurs, Pacers, and Raptors games. They express their thoughts on how the Sixers could turn the ugly start to their season around.

Rumors have been semi-swirling of Doc’s seat getting hot, they discuss whether they believe or disagree with the reports. They then analyze how Daryl Morey’s roster construction has been lackluster, and whether or not the additions of P.J. Tucker and Danuel House Jr. are the correct fit.

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

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (141) James Harden is Back, Embiid is Struggling, the Sixers are 0-2

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 03:55:01 -0000

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve, Dan and Drew (no Emily, sadly) discuss the Sixers' disappointing start to the season after consecutive losses to the Celtics and Bucks.

What has contributed to Joel Embiid's especially poor beginning to the season, and how much of a cause for concern should it be for Sixers fans? How much should fans read into Embiid's body language and moping on the court during poor shooting efforts like Thursday night against Milwaukee as bad omens for going forward or -- at the least -- something the big man needs to get in order quickly.

Then, they get on to a much happier topic: James Harden. With the guard looking like his All-NBA self, the trio discusses the most heartening aspects of his first two outings on the season. Plus assorted thoughts on Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey, Danuel House, P.J. Tucker, Montrezl Harrell and many more.

Also covered: a vibe check on the Phillies in the NLCS and reactions to Ben Simmons'' first game as a Brooklyn Net.

Out of Site: Previewing the Atlantic Division for the 2022-23 NBA season. With Dave Early.

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 19:41:21 -0000

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.

Out of Site: Tyrese Maxey shines in the Sixers' preseason win over Brooklyn Nets. With Dave Early.

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 02:43:23 -0000

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.)

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (139) Training Camp Opens, Who Are the Sixers' Batmen?

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 16:13:26 -0000

On today's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, the Emily and Steve discuss a plethora of media day quotes from Monday, first. James Harden says he lost "100 pounds" and our hosts are inclined to believe him! Joel Embiid is giving Ben Simmons the Voldemort treatment, everyone loves PJ Tucker, there's a glimmer of hope for Matisse Thybulle (perhaps), and the Sixers' social media team did a cute thing with 'first day of school' photos.

Then, training camp opened in South Carolina, and the hosts discuss the viral clip of Doc Rivers' sidebar conversation with Harden. What were the big takeaways? Paul Reed claims he's the only one who can guard Tyrese Maxey, folks seem bullish on Jaden Springer, and listen to hear what prompted Emily to say the following:

"I think Joel moved to the suburbs."

They discuss his new American citizenship, as well.

Finally, Drew joins the show to shepherd Steve and Emily through a Most Likely game wherein they compete in naming the Sixers' versions of Swole Batman, Skinny Batman, and Fast Batman, shoutout Darius Slay.

Out of Site: Recapping Sixers Media Day. With Dave Early.

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 00:30:54 -0000

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.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (138) Doc's Likes, Simmons' Podcast, Celtics' Turmoil

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 00:23:15 -0000

After a week away from the mics, Dan and Steve are back on Gastro (Emily is away) to catch up on all things Sixers and NBA. First, they catch up on Doc Rivers,' uh, um, well, eventful day on Twitter which I am legally obligated to remind you that the Sixers have insisted was a result of his account being hacked. Anyway, listen to hear whether or not the guys think that passes the smell test.

Then they discuss former Sixer Ben Simmons' first in depth interview since his infamous exit from Philadelphia on JJ Redick's podcast. What did they think of Simmons overall on the show? How'd they like JJ's line of questioning? What about the revisioning history of it all, especially as it pertains to the Atlanta series? They dissect some of Simmons' key quotes.

They then dive into the bombshell news out of Boston: head coach Ime Udoka has been suspended for a full year by the team. They do their best to talk about the situation while acknowledging that many (likely ugly) details are still yet to emerge.

Plus: thoughts on seemingly attainable Suns' forward Jae Crowder and your Philadelphia Eagles.

Out of Site Podcast: The Sixers new alternate jerseys, and what happens to Matisse Thybulle with all the added depth this season? With Dave Early.

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 16:33:09 -0000

The Philadelphia 76ers have a leak – a jersey leak!

The 2022-2023 City Edition jerseys were leaked on Twitter last week, and Harrison Grimm decided not to plug that hole. Adio and David give their opinions on the new “City of Brotherly Love” jerseys that the Sixers will debut along with the new look on the hardwood.

Moving to the personnel aspects of the team, Adio and David give their opinion about the signing of Montrezl Harrell. With Harrell on the team, what role is he most likely to serve on this Sixers roster? The Sixers have been going “all in” with recruiting old Houston Rockets from the Daryl Morey days like Harrell, PJ Tucker, and Danuel House.

In addition to those pieces, where will Paul Reed land in the rotation given so much more trusted (?) competition in the front court?

After discussing the back court, Adio and David bring up a familiar topic – Matisse Thybulle. Thybulle is likely in a “make it or bust” season. He is a restricted free agent this year, and with other offensive options in the back court such as De’Anthony Melton and Danuel House, can there be a spot for Thybulle – who, as we know, has been more defense first than offense in his career.

A wide range of topics is discussed as we approach training camp and the Sixers pre-season, and Liberty Ballers has you covered.

Out of Site podcast: Jonathan Macri of Knicks Film School joins Adio and Dave to talk Donovan Mitchell and where the Knicks will finish in the loaded East

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 17:00:00 -0000

It's a different day, but it is still the Out of Site Podcast on the Liberty Ballers Podcast Network.

Over the past few weeks, your hosts Adio Royster and David Early have been spanning multiverses in Philadelphia 76ers history and lore with the special "What if ..." summer engagement series. This week, there is no travelling. They are staying in the current reality that can be just as torturous, sometimes. It's not a reality that torments just Sixers fans. New York Knicks fans have had a week full of hope and eventually heartbreak and turmoil. After being on the rumor mill to acquire Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz, the Knicks lost out on Mitchell to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

With that, Adio and Dave have welcomed Jonathan Macri of Knicks Film School to join them on the podcast this week. Adio and Dave talk with Jonathan about what happened with the trade. It's possible there was a slight lack of back-and-forth as far as staying at the negotiation table. Maybe the Knicks didn't offer enough according to the reporting that Jonathan brings up throughout the podcast featuring the likes of ESPN's Zach Lowe, Ian Begley and others.

As it stands, the Knicks have fully committed to RJ Barrett after offering him a new four-year contract. What does that mean for the Knicks as they try to build a relevant team in an increasingly loaded Eastern Conference? Do the Knicks have enough talent to get into the play-in tournament or will there be another year of playoff-less basketball at "The Mecca" of Madison Square Garden? Adio, Dave and Jonathan discuss all of that and more on today's podcast.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (137) Montrezl Harrell Is a Sixer and We Feel Meh About It

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 21:15:35 -0000

On today's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve and Dan discuss the big news from the week that was: Montrezl Harrell is a Sixer. He signed with the Sixers on a two year deal, as the Sixers' front office could not help itself but to sign a veteran big man to steal some (all?) minutes from friend of the podcast BBall Paul. They take a look at every aspect of this signing, from Harrell's positives -- inside scoring, foul hunting, toughness, energy, fighting -- and his negatives -- defense, outside shooting, how much Doc Rivers loves him, etc -- before levying an overall verdict for how they feel about the signing at the end of the day. They also toss out a gentle reminder about who actually signs players to the Sixers.

Also discussed: BBall Paul's tweeted-and-deleted response to the Harrell signing, Shams Charania's report about the In-Season Tournament, and an Eagles preview which took place prior the Birds' Week 1 victory over the Detroit Lions.

Finally, the guys play a couple Sixers Sporcle games, which will both delight and infuriate you listening and home. Listen and play along, especially if you're a big Red Kerr fan.

Out of Site Podcast Special Engagement Series: What if the Sixers took Kobe Bryant at the 1996 NBA Draft? With Dave Early

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 17:11:00 -0000

Today is a special day for the Out of Site Special Engagement Summer Series. On today's episode of "Sixers What If", we turn back the clock to the 1996 NBA Draft. That was the day that the Philadelphia 76ers selected Allen Iverson out of the University of Georgetown. Iverson was the catalyst for a franchise in desperate need of an identity after the Charles Barkley trade. The 6' point guard transformed not just the Sixers but the NBA. Hip-hop culture in the league was born and bred right here in Philadelphia when Iverson arrived, but what if a different young guard was chosen by the Sixers that year? What if the Sixers drafted Lower Merion High School standout and future NBA Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant?

Out of Site Podcast Special Engagement Series: What if the Cavs or Bucks would taken Joel Embiid ahead of the Sixers at the 2014 NBA Draft? With Dave Early.

Tue, 16 Aug 2022 17:54:03 -0000

Adio Royster and Dave Early to the summer of 2014. This draft is incredibly important to Philadelphia 76ers fans and history. It is the draft when the Sixers took Joel Hans Embiid third overall. The Cleveland Cavaliers took Andrew Wiggins with the first overall pick. The Milwaukee Bucks drafted Duke forward Jabari Parker second overall. That left the Sixers and general manager Sam Hinkie to take Embiid with the third pick. There was a back injury. There was a face injury. There was a foot injury. None of that mattered. Hinkie and the Sixers were happy to take Embiid third, and Embiid was happy not to go to a 'corny' city (his words) like Milwaukee. What if things happened differently? What if David Griffin and the Cavaliers had the foresight to take Embiid and (maybe) pair him with Lebron James and Kyrie Irving down the line? What if the Bucks were patient with Embiid allowing them to pair him with Giannis Antetokounmpo?

Adio and David tackle that possibility, as well as other possibilities that could have risen, had the universe split into a different realm. Trade down for Devin Booker? Taking a swing at Kristaps Porzingis? What could have been?

Tue, 07 Jun 2022 17:15:11 -0000

In today's episode of the Out of Site Podcast on the Liberty Ballers Podcast Network, your host Adio Royster is flying solo! There have been some coaching movements in the NBA that may or may not affect the Philadelphia 76ers. Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder stepped down from his position (maybe somewhat surprisingly). Would President Daryl Morey think about moving on from Doc Rivers to Snyder? There are good and bad reasons for it, but there are other movements to consider. Mike D'Antoni is still out there -- although he's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Plenty of apples to shake from these coaching trees if the Sixers want to move on. After the break, Adio talks about a possible exciting addition to the city of Philadelphia: a WNBA team.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (125) The Sixers Will be Drafting & Please do not Relitigate the Al Horford Experience

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 01:31:44 -0000

On tonight's episode, the Gastro Gang is back in full force and Dan, Emily and Steve discuss the Sixers officially having the 23rd overall pick in this year's NBA draft. Do they predict the team to select and keep a draftee or to pick a player and then trade him elsewhere? Will that player have a parent who works for the team?

They also discuss the news of the day: Utah Jazz longtime head coach Quin Snyder stepped down. Will the Sixers now fire Doc Rivers and hire him instead? Probably not. But still fun to dream.

Then, finally they talk about the NBA Finals, and how the Sixers have been tangentially brought up in recent days as one-time Sixer Al Horford had a tremendous Game 1 for the Boston Celtics. Was Horford really all that bad in Philly? Did the Sixers make a mistake moving off of him after one season?

Out of Site: Episode 88 with Dave Early. Dissecting Joel Embiid's offseason tweets, Jimmy Butler's ghost and more

Tue, 31 May 2022 22:24:29 -0000

The Out of Site Podcast has returned on a Tuesday. Your host, Adio Royster recorded during his time away from 'Korkmaz Island' with guest David Early because "Troel" Embiid has made a new appearance as of last week. The Philadelphia 76ers All-Star Center still has some feelings about Jimmy Butler, and he had some tweets expressing .. his .. missing (?) .. of Jimmy Butler yet again. Embiid has done this before, and while some may have chalked Embiid's antics to the usual ribbings from Embiid, there are others that decided to swing that pendulum all the way in the other direction. What did Adio and Dave think about Embiid's Tweets, and did they really mean anything?

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (124) Doc Stays in Philly, Joel Snubbed by First Team, Tobias Harris Year in Review

Mon, 30 May 2022 23:01:07 -0000

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve and Emily discuss the sad news of the Lakers hiring Darvin Ham as head coach, rather than Doc Rivers. They forlornly discuss what is all but sure to be another year of Rivers coaching the Sixers, and whether or not things with Doc are as bad as they at times feel. Also, what about the widespread fan opinion that Daryl Morey would like to fire Doc if not for Sixers' owners pinching pennies?

Then, they lash out NBA media voters for once again snubbing Joel Embiid from All-NBA First Team despite ranking second in MVP voting for the second consecutive season.

After the break, Emily and Steve are joined by Drew to take a comprehensive look at Tobias Harris' year in Philadelphia. A mostly down year from the forward has his future in Philly once again in doubt, so the trio takes a look at his stats, contract, and where he and the Sixers are likely to go from here.

Tue, 24 May 2022 16:43:26 -0000

The 2021-2022 Philadelphia 76ers season has been over for a few weeks, now. Players have had their exit interviews. Coaches have had theirs. Even Daryl Morey made some comments regarding the future. The future is still bright(ish) for the Sixers going into next season, but we at Liberty Ballers wouldn't be doing our jobs if we didn't do our own 'Year in Reviews' for presidents of basketball operations, and coaches or players, ourselves. There have been several on the site and on the podcast network. This podcast marks Adio Royster's turn. As the sole inhabitant of 'Korkmaz Island', he's tasked with putting some kind of positive spin on Furkan Korkmaz's season. Were there any positives? At times, there may have been, but how much of it was on Korkmaz, and how much of it was on head coach Doc Rivers's choice of rotations, etc? As we go into next season, what are the positives and negatives of keeping the Turkish Delight on the roster

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (120) Sixers Close out Toronto, Embiid Fractures Face, We're Onto Miami and Feeling (Mostly) Good

Sun, 01 May 2022 22:25:50 -0000

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Emily, Dan and Steve discuss the Sixers' ability to close out the plucky Raptors' team in six games, thankfully, and all it took to get it done. After laying an egg at home in Game 5, the Sixers got it together and blew out the Raps in their building in Toronto for the decisive game on Thursday. How encouraged were our hosts by the improved play of Joel Embiid, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey.

Then, they talk about the fateful elbow from Pascal Siakam to Embiid's eye which concussed Embiid, broke his orbital bone and has put his status in doubt for the beginning of the Sixers' upcoming series versus Miami. Was it a dirty play by the Toronto forward? Do they blame head coach Doc Rivers for having Embiid in the game with the score so out of reach?

And now, with the reports circling that Embiid could return as soon as Game 3 versus Miami, how do our hosts feel about this series? How will the center rotation shake out? How important will Matisse Thybulle be? They take a look at the other series around the league and make official predictions.

On this edition of the Coming in for a Landing podcast on the Liberty Ballers podcast network, LB community producer Paul Hudrick breaks down a wild, wild night as Joel Embiid’s three with 0.8 seconds left in overtime gave the Sixers a thrilling 104-101 win and a 3-0 series lead heading into Game 4 on Saturday. Embiid overcame a tough first half (5 points, 4 turnovers) to finish with a game-high 33 points and hit the game-winner. Paul talks Embiid’s greatness and much, much more while recapping one of the crazier postseason games you’ll ever see.

Joel Embiid may not win MVP, but he’s the best player on the damn planet.
Credit to Tobias Harris for starring in his role, especially defensively.
Tough for James Harden to foul out, but his presence as a point guard has been so huge.
You have to say it — Glenn Doc Rivers has coached a hell of a series.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (106) It's Deadline Week and It's Time to Finally Bring James Harden to Philly, with Alec Sturm of Nets Daily

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 12:17:36 -0000

Well, friends, here we are. The year is 2022, it's still a pandemic, and Daryl Morey is still trying to trade Ben Simmons for James Harden. The Brooklyn Nets are reportedly open to discussing this possibility with the trade deadline upon us. First, Dan (and then Steve -- Emily was sadly caught up at bowling during this episode) is joined by the great Alec Sturm of Nets Daily. Alec is super plugged in on all things Nets, and he shares with us how and why things have gone sour with Harden in Brooklyn, what kind of package the Nets will want from Philly and will likely end up with, and how likely it is this trade is actually going to go down, plus much more.

Then Dan and Steve talk through the week's games, Tyrese Maxey's star potential and tremendous night versus Memphis, Ben Simmons' continued self-pity-party, and their feelings about being back in the thick of the chase for James Harden. Would they draw the line at Maxey? Is this happening? Please, Daryl, make it happen.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (105) Harden to Philly Rumors Grow Louder, Sacramento Bows Out (Maybe), Embiid Continues His Tear

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 01:51:26 -0000

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve, Emily and Dan discuss an undefeated week by the streaking Sixers, as Joel Embiid is now the odds-on Vegas favorite for the MVP award. What have they thought of Embiid's efforts to pace himself in games against lesser opponents in first halves? Or his face-off with Anthony Davis? How about Tyrese Haliburton's eruption for 38 points in Philly on Saturday night?

Then they get into the news of the week, which was the continued rumors surrounding the apparent mutual interest between the Sixers and impending free agent James Harden. How real do the hosts think this smoke is? And should this prohibit a Ben Simmons deal at the deadline?

Then they discuss the voracity of Sacramento reportedly bowing out of the Simmons sweepstakes. Is this legit, or merely a message to Daryl Morey to come to the table with a lowered asking price to consummate a deal?

Finally, Dan and Steve round out the pod with some ranting.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (103) MEGA POD The Athletic's Sam Amick Updates The Ben Simmons Trade Talks & RTRS's Sixers Adam on Sixers' Salary Cap Situation as Team Keeps Winning

Sun, 16 Jan 2022 21:09:41 -0000

It is a special week on The Gastroenteritis Blues as Steve and Dan (Emily is away on her Honeymoon) have a Mega Pod for you! First up is Sam Amick of The Athletic, who returns to the podcast to discuss his big report this week on the state of the Sixers' trade talks for Ben Simmons. What is Sam's feeling on whether or not the Sixers will be trading Simmons before the February 10 trade deadline (hint: :)). Sam also touches on the possibility of the Sixers being able to attach Tobias Harris to Simmons in a trade before the deadline. He details the status of talks between the Sixers and The Sacramento Kings, Atlanta Hawks, Minnesota Timberwolves and more.

Then, they're joined by Sixers Adam Aaronson of The Rights to Ricky Sanchez, who dives into the Sixers' salary cap situation. With reports swirling that the Sixers' effort to offload Harris in a Simmons trade is in pursuit of max cap space this summer, Steve and Dan wanted to consult Adam about the exact machinations of freeing up that space. Would Adam, personally, prefer the Sixers trade Tobias or recoup an extra two Sacramento first round picks? What does he think of John Collins as a trade target? What ancillary moves would need to be made in order to pursue James Harden on the open market?

Finally, Steve and Dan discuss this week's games, as Joel Embiid has continued to solidify his MVP candidacy, the Sixers have severed ties with a fake company named Color Star, and then Steve, Dan, Drew and Emily from afar predict next week's games.

Huge thank you to Sam and Adam for joining us.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (100) Joel Embiid Gets Montrezl Harrell Tossed as The Podcast Crosses the Century Mark

Mon, 27 Dec 2021 05:38:00 -0000

It is a big week on The Gastroenteritis Blues as Steve, Dan, and Emily are celebrating a milestone: 100 episodes of sort-of-Sixers nonsense. First, they discuss a 2-1 week from the Sixers, as Philadelphia notched heartening wins over Washington and Boston and a dispiriting loss to Atlanta at home. What did they take away from these games? And what did they make of the understated theater behind Joel Embiid and Montrezl Harrell's tussle on Sunday night? Or the week's rumors in regards to Ben Simmons? Or LeBron James' eye roll-inducing Instagram post?

Later in the pod, they look back on some of their fondest memories of the first 99 episodes of The Gastroenteritis Blues, before taking part in another (mostly) non-basketball roundtable of questions for one another to round out episode 100.

We at The Gastro Blues could not thank everyone at Liberty Ballers, SB Nation, Vox Media, our guests, our listeners, and our intern Drew (@dapeltz13 on Twitter) enough for all of your help through these first 100 episodes.

We love doing this show and we can't wait to keep it going.

Happy New Year, everyone. Be safe and be great.

The Gastroenteritis Blues: (99) Sixers Play-by-Play Announcer Kate Scott Joins the Podcast to Talk About Her Career, the Sixers, and Wawa

Wed, 22 Dec 2021 19:36:52 -0000

It is a very special day here on The Gastroenteritis Blues, as today Emily, Steve and Dan are joined by Sixers play-by-play announcer Kate Scott. In her first season with the team, Kate is hard at work trying to fill the shoes left by Marc Zumoff, who retired after a 27-year career in Philadelphia.

Kate was kind enough to take the time to sit down with the Gastro Blues crew to discuss the process of auditioning for the job with the Sixers, how helpful Zumoff has been since she got the gig, what it’s been like to grow on-air chemistry with (former Gastro Blues guest) Alaa Abdelnaby, what it’s been like broadcasting games during a pandemic, which current Sixer would make the best play-by-play announcer, and much, much more.

Plus, of course, they get into plenty of non-basketball stuff, including: Kate’s first Wawa experience, whether or not she knew that sheeps were lambs, which classic film trilogy Alaa is determined to get her to watch with him, and what it has been like for Kate to break through in the sports industry as an LGBTQ+ woman.

Our immense gratitude to Kate for joining us on the pod.

They ask Yaron about how things between the star and the franchise got to this point, what Simmons' relationship with Doc Rivers has been like, how much acrimony currently exists between Simmons and Joel Embiid, and what the path forward is now for all parties, with stars like Lillard and Bradley Beal seemingly off the table for the remainder of the offseason. Yaron also shares his opinion on whether or not the Sixers could realistically enter the season with Simmons on the roster.

No Particular Hurry: Episode 26 with Jaden Springer's Trainer Keith Williams

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 23:36:00 -0000

As of today, Jaden Springer is officially a Sixer! So we had to talk about the defensive menace.

“No Particular Hurry” episode 25 is out now. In this episode host Dave Early interviews Keith Williams, a basketball coach and skills trainer to NBA and WNBA legends like Kevin Durant, DeMarcus Cousins, Gilbert Arenas, Chamique Holdsclaw, Alana Beard, Steve Francis, and many more. He’s worked off and on for several years now with Sixers’ 28th overall pick, Jaden Springer, out of Tennessee.

In the pod, they get into:

Shooting will be an important swing skill for Springer. What does Williams think of Springer’s shooting form? Are there changes Springer wants to make to his form?
Might Springer struggle to get his shot off at the pro level?
He shot a lot of pull-ups in college, do you think he’ll transition smoothly to shooting more 3s at the pro level?
Will he be able to come right in and play that pitbull style of defense he’s known for or will he need some time to develop?
What would have happened if they put Springer on Hawks wing Kevin Huerter in the second round a couple of months ago?
Will the refs let him play that level of D or will it be the usual rookie treatment even Matisse Thybulle has had to go through?
Is Jaden like any other of his past clients? What’s his make-up and temperament? Hear what Williams thinks makes Springer unlike any client he’s ever worked with before.

And fun tidbits like this about his upbringing and personality:

“He’s competitive so the type of family he comes from, they’re very competitive, they’re gonna be competitive, on anything you can imagine, they’re competitive on. And he’s not a big talker. But when it gets competitive he will talk trash as you saw while we were playing chess. I mean he’s a competitive kid. That’s a fact. But I think you know for the town of Philly and the type of kid he is, I think it’s a perfect match.”

Like Giannis Antetokounmpo, host Adio Royster has dropped a fifty piece of Out of Site podcasts since its birth in August of 2020. Today, Sean Kennedy joins as the fiftieth guest on the podcast. Adio and Sean discuss how patience was a virtue when it came to the Milwaukee Bucks winning an NBA title and how it relates to the Philadelphia 76ers and their title hopes. The duo gets into the supermax contract that Joel Embiid is now eligible for and how that affects the Sixers off-season this season. Should the Sixers and their President of Basketball Operations, Daryl Morey, be in panic mode? (Short answer: no). Who will the Sixers trade for: Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal? All of these questions will get educated opinions -- or whatever Adio’s closest attempt at an educated guess is.

Tue, 20 Jul 2021 11:00:00 -0000

The Philadelphia 76ers hired head coach Doc Rivers last offseason. Then, they hired Daryl Morey to be the President of Basketball Operations. After one year, the results were disappointing for this duo of basketball excellence. Now, the Sixers enter the offseason needing to retool some things (again). Dave Early joins host Adio Royster on the podcast to examine the relationship between Doc and Daryl. Neither believes there is a rift, per se, but there’s a bit of a clashing of styles between the two. They discuss some of Rivers’s coaching choices during the regular season and the disastrous finish of the Atlanta Hawks series before asking themselves: “What, now?”

Tom joins host Adio Royster to chat about his thoughts on the NBA Finals up to the point where he’s watched and then get into some Philadelphia 76ers talk, of course. The pair discusses the increased desire from the Minnesota Timberwolves to acquire Ben Simmons. What can Minnesota offer? Is it enough? Is Gersson Rosas going to try and swing a three-team deal? They get into all of that and then ponder about the possibilities of some of the younger/low-minute players that were on the Sixers bench last year like Isaiah Joe and one Paul Reed (aka “B-Ball Paul”).

Happy 4th of July, Philadelphia 76ers fans. The long weekend is upon us, and a long off-season is upon your Sixers (once again). This seems to be a sad, recurring dream (or nightmare depending on your current feeling). Going into this off-season, there are some major decisions that need to be contemplated. Will Ben Simmons get traded? Will Joel Embiid get his super-max deal? Who will the Sixers target in the free agency or sign-and-trade market? To answer this, host Adio Royster brings Harrison Grimm on the podcast to talk about these and other burning off-season questions. They also talk about their thoughts about the remaining four teams in the NBA Playoffs and what matchups they’d like. (It’s hard to do, but the NBA goes on with or without the Sixers, sadly.)

Christ!

What the hell happened? After game six, most of us as Philadelphia 76ers fans went into Sunday’s game seven with only some belief the Sixers would pull out a game seven win. What happened was heart breaking, depressing, and demoralizing in one 48-minute session of professional basketball. Who is to blame? How do we move forward? How do we all process this? Host Adio Royster will try and start the healing process with his guest Dave Early -- host of the “No Particular Hurry” podcast. Begin the healing.

Mon, 21 Jun 2021 05:37:03 -0000

That sucked and they should be ashamed. First half is Dan and Sean venting, ranting and unleashing all their pent-up anger over one of if not the worst loss in Sixers franchise history before brining on Glen Willis from Peachtree Hoops to breakdown things from an Atlanta point of view and how they were able to complete the comeback.

Gheezus!

Well, that game sure sucked, didn’t it? The Philadelphia 76ers dropped game four of their Eastern Conference Semis series against the Atlanta Hawks 103-100. It was such a bad game. Joel Embiid went 0-12 in the second half. Doc Rivers said the team got “outworked” all game and resorted to “hero ball” in the second half. Now, this is a best of three series with the Sixers having two games at the crib in South Philly. Steve Lipman joins host Adio Royster to talk about what went wrong in this game, how they feel going forward, and finish the conversation with a little early “Bachelorette” talk to discuss something to make them feel good about things.

Before the regularly scheduled chat with Dave Early, host Adio Royster took some time to address some of the continued negative nonsense surrounding All-Star point guard Ben Simmons. Should he have called out every sports media personality in town? Maybe not. Is it something he should be immune to by now? Also, probably not. Sometimes, he just likes to do his thing. That’s Adio. Following his “declaring war” on Philadelphia sports media, Dave joins Adio to talk about Atlanta Hawks All-Star guard Trae Young and how he has several familiar tactics he likes to use on offense, what the Philadelphia 76ers have to expect, and how to counter those moves ahead of game two tonight at the Wells Fargo Center.

Jrue Holiday is terrifying defensively

It’s impossible to gauge exactly what the Bucks are going to be during the playoffs…

Joel isn’t winning MVP, find a new slant?

Joel before vs. after his knee injury, is he the same player?

What do we make of the wonky, often all-bench rotations?

Is Doc not experimenting enough with his rotations?

The long “cavalcade of Sixers backup centers that can’t hang…”

If Dwight gets worked in the playoffs, will it be on Doc or Morey?

I don’t think we’re ever gonna get to a point where we just turn the key and [Ben Simmons] is unlocked….”

Is it stupid that we’re counting Embiid as a forward for the All-NBA team?

Out of Site: Episode 37 with Dave Early

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 11:00:00 -0000

We’re four games into this brutal stretch of games against playoff-caliber opponents, and the Philadelphia 76ers have done … decent. They’re 4-0 after defeating Oklahoma City, Brooklyn, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Dallas Mavericks. There is a sense of unease around David Early, though. It’s warranted as a result of late blown leads to the Nets and Clippers, so Dave joins host Adio Royster to talk about what bothers him about the wins (and “moral defeats”) as Dave called them in his column last week.

Dave’s column: https://www.libertyballers.com/2021/4/15/22385890/sixers-beat-nets-in-divisional-showdown-and-remain-in-first-place-but-it-felt-like-a-moral-defeat

Is something up with our man, Ben Simmons?

He hasn’t been as feisty as he had been going into the All-Star break, and in 11 games out of the ASB, he’s been subpar. Is it because he’s injured? Is something else at work? If so, what is the issue, and what’s the next move for the Philadelphia 76ers with the playoffs looming and seeding being ever so important. Dave Early joins host Adio Royster today to get into all of that, and hopefully calm some of your fears and concerns.

It's a very special episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues where, this week, Steve, Emily and Dan are joined by two highly esteemed guests: Porter (@TrillBroDude on Twitter, host of the Find a Topic podcast) and Keith Pompey (The Philadelphia Inquirer). First, all four pepper Keith with questions about his recent reporting on the team. What was Keith's read on how Kyle Lowry stayed in Toronto after the deadline? What was the key factor that led to James Harden getting traded to Brooklyn rather than Philadelphia? Keith also shares some intel on when he's hearing that Joel Embiid could be back in the lineup for the Sixers. Plus: Keith shares how the pandemic has impacted the job of a beat reporter covering the team.

Then, Porter, Emily, Dan and Steve discuss a number of Sixers-related topics. How do they all feel now, having George Hill (and Danny Green) on the Sixers, but not Kyle Lowry? What does George Hill do before every game? What do they think of the recent moves from the Brooklyn Nets, Boston Celtics and Miami Heat? Finally, they all send sincere congratulations to BBall Paul and discuss what Mason Jones could bring to the squad. Enjoy!

Tue, 23 Mar 2021 11:00:00 -0000

What happened to Tyrese Maxey -- the youngun’ the Philadelphia 76ers took with the 21st overall pick? He’s still on the team, but he hasn’t been able to crack the rotation on a consistent basis. However, with all of the injuries and inconsistency in the guard rotation, Tyler Monahan joins Adio Royster to discuss why now is the perfect time for the rookie to get some serious run before the team’s inevitable (and hopefully extended) playoff push. Tyler talks about where Maxey would fit and who he would take minutes from. There’s also a little Kyle Lowry trade mentioning as well because that move would push Maxey into getting some considerable second unit minutes.

The Philadelphia 76ers will be without Joel Embiid -- who is out for two weeks with a bone bruise -- but it’s fine. Everything is fine. Why does host Adio Royster feel this way? The Sixers bench (albeit in three games) has looked dynamite in the first few tip offs after the All-Star Break. Sean Kennedy joins the podcast to discuss it with him as the bench has been a cumulative winner of Sean’s “Bell Ringer” award for the last week -- especially after being critical in blowing the doors off the San Antonio Spurs.

Tue, 09 Feb 2021 12:00:00 -0000

The NFL season is over, so it’s time to push the throttle on NBA action -- if you haven’t had the lever at full since the season started, that is. Your Philadelphia 76ers are 17-7 and are a game and a half up on the Milwaukee Bucks, but Steve Lipman asks the following: “Do the Sixers have enough?” Steve discusses the possibility of bringing Philadelphia native Kyle Lowry home from Toronto first before getting into a conversation about how the NBA has handled Covid this season and the asinine thought (Adio’s opinion) about having an All-Star game. The duo discusses all of this … and some Bachelor talk -- because The Gastroenteritis Blues can’t have all the fun.

No Particular Hurry: Episode 14 featuring ESPN Insider Pablo S. Torre

Thu, 04 Feb 2021 12:00:00 -0000

In the pod Dave Early interviews ESPN Insider, writer, reporter, host of the ESPN Daily Podcast, frequent quest or host on PTI, Highly Questionable, Around the Horn on ESPN.

They get into: What bets did he place on the Superbowl, is our society headed for a "doink" economy?

Who is the MVP today, is it Embiid?

At one point Pablo says: “Guess whose over there? Joel fucking Embiid…. I’m trying to rub the Sixers success in the present into as many faces as possible….” And it’s glorious. He even works mashed potatoes and offers some half drank milk carton to us Process day 1’s. Generous, if gross.

If Jeff Van Gundy still angry Pablo isn’t a doctor?

How did Pablo convince Sam Hinkie to meet and talk to him when so few others could? What’s unique about Sam’s mind?

If Pablo ran the Knicks would he fire Leon Rose and hire Hinkie?

What did Sam Hinkie reveal he dreams about?

Is an All-Star Game this season a bad idea with 20 of the best players in the world in one perhaps at risk-location?

How will history look back on us for enjoying the NBA right now as we we learn more and more about this Pandemic?

Is outdoor NBA feasible in the future?

What made Pablo say this: “Those Sixers, they care about title contention so much more than the Jeanie Buss’

and all of the other owners and GMs who side-eyed them as [The Process] was happening.”

What does Pablo think of Doc Rivers?

Tobias Harris.

Somehow there is a Joel Embiid having an orgy basketball metaphor that organically arises and Pablo says “yes it would be the Caligula of the NBA.”

How would he woo a free agent if Daryl Morey hired him to personally make it happen? What’s his Mina Kimes’ Etch A Sketch talent?

Would he have traded Ben for Harden? How about Ben for Beal? What would he offer for Zach LaVine?

Tue, 02 Feb 2021 12:00:00 -0000

Your Philadelphia 76ers are 15-6. They are #1 in the Eastern Conference -- two and a half games ahead of the Brooklyn Nets. Part of the reason is the roster construction. Part of it is the improved and budding partnership/friendship of all-stars Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. Another part is the flaming hot start of Tobias Harris. Tom West wrote two pieces on the latter two points, and he joins host Adio Royster on the podcast to discuss that and more (including how things are going in England with regards to COVID-19 -- since it’s always nice to know that it isn’t just bad here in the United States).

Merry New Year, Philadelphia 76ers fans! It’s the first “Out of Site” of the new year, and we’re starting off by keeping it going with the #FreeShake movement. Yes, Shake Milton has officially been freed! He has a clear role (sixth man). He has confidence. He has added muscle. He’s doing all the Shake things that made him a popular player before and during the bubble, and it has apparently bled into the start of this season. Tyler Monahan joins host Adio Royster to discuss how Shake has grown and what the 2020-2021 season holds for Mr. Milton.

Was Daryl the puppet master behind the hirings of Doc Rivers, Peter Dinwiddie, and Prosper Karangwa? Or was this a perfectly Sixers unorthodox hire the most important person last move?

Is Elton going to stay on? Might he be devastated with this hiring? Could it be awkward between him and Daryl once Daryl sees the cap sheet?

Jam packed with opinions from someone who knows the Sixers better than anyone else in the game.

Is this a tacit mea culpa from Josh and Blitz going back to Hinkie's roots?

If the sixers had offered Butler a full 5 year max would he have taken it or would he have preferred a four year max in Miami instead?

Could the Sixers be on the precipice of wasting the primes of their two stars?

Do you have any long-term concerns about Ben Simmons’ health? Would you reduce his minutes next year?

Has GM Elton Brand been the top voice in this front office over the last 2 years?

Do you think Brand will have autonomy moving forward?

Are the Sixers making FO changes they don’t want to make because of public pressure? Have they done that before?

Is Managing Partner Josh Harris perhaps a little too trusting of the myriad voices around him?

Does this complicated Management-Front office collaborative make it difficult to bring in someone like a Daryl Morey?

In today’s episode of ‘No Particular Hurry,’ Dave Early chats with Ben Detrick, the reporter who broke The Curious Case of Bryan Colangelo and the Secret Twitter Account story for The Ringer. That piece and the ensuing fallout led to former team President Bryan Colangelo resigning.

In the piece they get into pickup hoops in the time of Covid-19, former-Sixers balling in the bubble, ‘would you rather…. Jerami Grant or Tobias Harris?’ A deep dive into the Sixers’ ‘shadowy cabal’ of decision makers, a sourced scoop (!) and Ben’s sources on something that what went down between front office and management in the days between his Twitter burner account report and BC resigning. We read a couple of tweets from one of the burners ‘Still Ballin’ and discuss what (if any) insight it provides on current power dynamics.

Also discussed: a conspiracy theory on the Sixers “inexplicable loyalty” to Colangelo-hired lieutenants, somehow even tied to (dum dum dummm) Adam silver?!

Is even Joel susceptible to boomer takes about dominating the post and Ben Simmons’ need to shoot 3s?

A surprisingly rosy view of how all is not lost with two legit top-tier superstars!
