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

The Sixers ended their stretch without Joel Embiid with an unbelievable record of 7-3 after their win over the Cavs. We talk about Embiid's impending return, his chance at winning the MVP, and how they'll integrate him. We discuss about Ben Simmons' struggles, and what can get him back on track, Mike decides on the Joel Embiid Sweet 16 Moments, and we disagree about JJ Redick's trade request story on his podcast. Also, Mike got verified on Twitter, thanks Bob. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. Download the app and use code RTRS.

The Sixers Embiidless winning streak came to an end, but Tobias Harris and Danny Green continued their hot shooting and solid play. We discuss that, Doc Rivers' potential playoff rotation stubbornness, Ben Simmons' post All-Star break offense, whether George Hill is in closing lineups, how much LeMarcus Alrdidge helps the Nets, whether B-Ball Paul should play regular minutes and what the NBA will do to stop the blatant tanking going on.

Another trade deadline is in the books and Daryl Morey did a very normal thing. The Sixers traded for George Hill, didn't trade for Kyle Lowry, and sent out a few second round picks and Tony Bradley in the process. We discuss the Sixers deadline moves and non-moves, the rest of the NBA and how that will work out, and what this all means for B-Ball Paul.

Spike and Mike go through the most upvoted questions on the AMA posted on Reddit, and answer a ton of questions both Sixers and non-Sixers related, then hear the full event from Cal State Fullerton's Modern Language and Literatures annual student event where Spike and Mike were Keynote Speakers. The guys talk about their (non podcast) jobs, how language and inclusion has become a focus, and the Ricky community. Thanks to Dr. James Hussar, Nina Crecia, and the students who attended.

Daryl Morey and his friend and famed fiction author Hugh Howey joined us for a 45 minute chat on Twitter Spaces, talking about too many threes in the NBA and how to fix it, how to judge what championship odds a team has, why Mike isn't verified on Twitter and Taylor Swift. It was a good time! The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

Sure, the Sixers blew a 19 point lead against the Bucks, but we'll find a way to make it a moral victory. We talk about the good and the bad of the Bucks loss, the Knicks win, we take our temperature on the trade deadline, an all-star mailbag, and we preview our Twitter Spaces discussion with Daryl Morey and his friend Hugh.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

The "Other Guys" on the Sixers dominated again, sending the Spurs to the their worst loss of all time. We joyfully discuss the win, then play "dark side vs. light side" with all of the aspects of the Joel Embiid injury, a shocking new development in the Embiid tattoo saga, whether the NBA should do something to make the league less three-heavy, why Daryl Morey is insisting to talk to us on Twitter Spaces, and do Danny Green and Spike both have old guy young guy hair,.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

Without Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons it seemed like we were in for a loss, but we were met with the Tony Bradley Game, The Matisse Thybulle Game, The Dwight Howard Game. We talk about the very nice victory, as well as Tyrese Maxey's struggles to get off the bench. We discuss the one year anniversary of the NBA shut down, whether Mike will get a haircut, if Kyle Lowry will be traded, the prospect of adding Will Barton, what the NBA would look like without a three point line, and which Western Conference team would be the most fun to beat in the Finals.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

At the All-Star break, the Sixers are leading the Eastern Conference, so the grades... are pretty good. We grade every Sixers player who has played meaningful minutes, as well as Doc Rivers and Daryl Morey. We discuss our role in educating the masses on the Ship Of Theseus in Wandvision, the great hacking of B-Ball Paul, some controversy in Mike's fantasy basketball league, and the mailbag includes a listener desperate to get one of the most ridiculous tattoos in history.   A Ricky listener and his wife need some help with their dog. Fiona is only three years old, and if she does not get an expensive surgery on her knees, she will not be able to walk by five. The surgery and rehab is upwards of $10,000 is not covered by insurance, and it's been a tough year financially for Fiona's parents. If you can help, the fundraiser is here.    The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

If you close your eyes, you can hear us doing the version of the pod that we'd have done if they lost... but they didn't. A celebration of the first place Sixers and Joel Embiid who go into the All-Star Break first in the conference. Tobias Harris was the closer, and Donovan Mitchell whines his way into the locker room. Spike explains why both Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell are frauds, we discuss how much is too much for Kyle Lowry, and Doc Rivers' last laugh with the all bench lineups.   To donate to Michael and David's marathon in honor of Ryan and support American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, donate here at the GoFundMe or even better, here at Facebook.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Daft Kings Sportsbook.
