The Sixers Postseason Is Upon Us (PST Show #308)
We've all been eagerly anticipating the Philadelphia 76'ers postseason – and hopefully a successful run – for weeks now as the team has certainly seen its fair share of hiccups. To get into some pre-postseason Sixers talk with us this week is Dave Early, Associate Editor for LibertyBallers.com. We'll discuss how things look for Joel Embiid, the bench and much more.
But first, we talked to Chris Huey, the owner of Brotherly Love Memorabilia (BrotherlyLoveMemorabilia.com), about the upcoming Tri-County Sports Card & Collectible Show he's helping to host this weekend. (3:15)
Then we dove into the poor pitching that we've been witnessing from the Phillies early in the season. (11:20)
This week on the Highbrow Segment we discussed an article that was written by NBA player Kyle Korver titled "Privileged". How have his experiences as a white NBA athlete shaped his thinking and the concepts of "guilt" and "responsibility" within our culture at it pertains to racism? (23:20)
On our Lowbrow Segment this week, we gave out our top-3 list of our least favorite individuals in baseball. (40:40)
What we're throwing down on the Table this week is an in-depth interview with Dave Early from Liberty Ballers. With the Sixers postseason in sight, we dove into what we can and should expect from this Sixers team, along with the realities of their recent on-the-court play. Should their recent apparent lackadaisical approach over the past couple weeks be of concern to us fans, and can this team "flip the switch" once the playoffs actually start? What should Joel Embiid's workload be through the first-round? While we expect the bench rotations to get shorter, who might play a more critical role coming off the bench? Also, could Lindsay Harding, who has been promoted to Sixers assistant coach, be the first ever female head coach in NBA history? All of this and much more this week on the Table! (1:01:00)
