The Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers (76ers) Podcast

The Sixers bench, once a weakness, has come together through development, the addition of George Hill, and... Dwight Howard? We talk about the bench's development, Furkan's next contract, Matisse Thybulle at power forward, and how wrong we were about Dwight. We discuss the on-court rhythm between Simmons and Embiid which seems better than ever, Josh Harris' troubles at Apollo Holdings, a one on one game between Maxey and Thybulle, and which Sixers moment we wish the podcast was around for.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

With two straight easy wins, the Sixers have clinched a playoff birth, and continue to chase the Nets for the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference. We talk about the quality of play in the NBA this season, the play of Ben Simmons and Tyrese Maxey in the wins, as well as the consistent offense from Furkan Korkmaz. We discuss George Hill's fit so far, and playing Matisse Thybulle at the four. There are new rumors about the Sixers and Kyle Lowry, a listener wrote a Joel Embiid poem, and Daryl Morey does an impression of "High Mike."   Order the Ricky playoff shirts by 5/6 right here.    The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

76ers President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Daryl Morey only has one Spotify playlist, and it's 42 hours long. That's right. Daryl joined Spike and Mutlu on the Carl Landry Record Club to explain himself and go through many of the songs. This is a clip of the episode, but you can find the full hour-long episode on the Carl Landry Record Club podcast, which is available "wherever you get your podcasts" including Apple or Spotify or right here. 

The Sixers got swept in Milwaukee and have lost four straight. Joel Embiid is nursing a knee and a shoulder injury, Tobias Harris has a knee injury, and Ben Simmons is recovering from an illness. With the #1 seed now something they have to really work for, what are the true panic levels on injuries, seeding and vibes? Also, we talk about starting a team with Ben Simmons, Julius Randle, Brandon Ingram or Tobias Harris, whether the Bucks are title threats, Shake Milton's loser-energy and Sam Presti responds to a question about what the Thunder are doing compared to what the Sixers did.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

The undermanned Sixers came within a Joel Embiid full-court prayer of sending the game to overtime. It should have counted anyway. Matisse Thybulle plays maybe his best defensive game of his career, George Hill looks like a contributor and Shake Milton continues his poor play. Mike continues to rail against availability, Furk hasn't stepped out of bounds in a while and where does Ben Simmons rank among Sixers defensive players.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

If the best availability is not availability, is it actually just ability? And if that's the case, why are Denver fans so angry with Mike? The Sixers beat the Clippers to hold on to first in the East, the MVP race continues to tighten, Embiid and Simmons begin their campaigns for award season, a law school Ricky connection, and a Hofstra student makes a hostage-style video directed at the NBA commissioner.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

The Nets decided they were mostly not taking part in the Eastern Conference clash, and the Sixers took advantage (even though it got hairy). We talk about the game, Embiid's knee brace, Korkmaz and Milton's place in the playoff rotation, the weirdest NBA regular season ever, we rank the Sixers' rivals, talk about the idea of Dwight Howard sympathy, and give Daryl Morey an impossible skill in evaluating draft talent.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook (use promo code RTRS).

Furkan Korkmaz got the call, and answered it against the Thunder, as two-way Furk showed all the tools. We wonder if the Process Sixers ever looked as overmatched as the current Thunder, if Anthony Tolliver will last more than one 10-day, when George Hill might actually play for the Sixers, rivisit Spike's "we are fucked" take about the Celtics in 2018, and Ben Simmons centrism.   Donate to Spike's Brandywine Valley SPCA fundraiser here.    The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.   Get 20% off E-Lyte and all Body Bio products with code RTRS 20 at bodybio.com.

The Sixers swept the Celtics because their team is basically a disgrace (and Joel Embiid looked like himself again). We discuss the game, the five year anniversary of the Sam Hinkie resignation letter, what lineup will close playoff games, the Jrue Holiday contract, and what a shitty disgrace the Celtics are.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.   Sign up for Draft Kings Sportsbook and use promo code RTRS.

Joel Embiid is back and the Sixers' quest for the #1 seed is back in business. We talk about the big guy's return, Tobias Harris' finishing and reassessing the value of his contract, a plea to NBA Commissioner Dave Silver to restore the sanctity of the game, remember Lou Williams' Easter game winner over the Heat and find out what fish we are.   Donate to Spike's Brandywine Valley SPCA fundraiser at this link.    The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.   Today's sponsors are:   LL Pavorsky Jewelers By Nature Pet Foods (use promo code 20RTRS at Amazon for 20% off your first order) The Process Realtor, Adam Ksebe Kinetic Skateboarding (get 9.1% off your first order with promo code DAVESILVER)
