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

An enormous conflict within the hosts on the only Rockets podcast, the Rights To Ricky Sanchez. We talk about Rockets vs. Lakers, which Rockets players would make the Sixers contenders, size vs. toughness, the collapse of the Bucks and what it means about the Sixers, the idea of trading for Chris Paul, a very heavy relationship advice question and a deep dive into the Lorenzo Brown mailbag. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

"This is not Josh Harris' playground," Philadelphia City Councilperson Helen Gym told us. We discussed the proposed new Sixers arena that Josh Harris and David Blitzer are trying to get tax payers to pay for, and why they should buy it themselves with Helen. Mike tries to get a specific member of the front office fired, and we discuss Jay Wright shooting down the Sixers and Jimmy Butler's public love letter to Joel Embiid.

Never missing a chance for perfect timing, it was revealed this week that the Sixers are asking to use public funding to help build a new arena in Philadelphia. We discuss the outrageous idea, and how and why they want it to happen. We talk about the names that have been floated as Sixers coach, while we wait for front office upheaval. Finally, we discuss the NBA's strike, the responsibility of athletes, and clean out the Lorenzo Brown Mailbag.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

Josh Harris said he was going to do a deep dive into what went wrong with the Sixers and change it. Elton Brand, who is apparently not one of those things, gave some hints as to what might change. We talked about Brand's comments, the three key people he'll make decisions on (aside from the coach), and the constant ass backwards way the team decides things. We say farewell to Brett Brown, and Thea Gallagher, Sixers fan, Ricky person, clinical psychologist, assistant professor at Penn, and Director of the outpatient clinic at The Center for Treatment and Study of Anxiety joins us to tell you how to get through the pain of being a Sixers fan.

The Sixers fired Brett Brown on 4:59pm, August 24th, 2020. Brett was a good coach and a great guy and went through all of this with us. We'll have a full reaction podcast on the 25th, but we wanted to post our interviews with Brett. The first is from April of 2015, the second from Live Ricky IV, when he was inducted into the Process Hall Of Fame, in September 2019.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

The Sixers were swept in the first round by the Celtics, and the team thinks it can get away with just changing the coach. Nope! We explain why everybody gotta go. Alonzo Jones of the Corner Three Newsletter joins us to join in the fun. Thanks for listening Celtics fans! Fuck off! See the Ricky Bark In The Park shirt and join the team here.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez Podcast is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

We just tried to have some fun on this one. At least they didn't quit? Maybe? The Sixers were in the game, but go down 3-0 to the Celtics in their first round playoff series. Mike continues to do the podcast in darkness, and now lays out how dumb he thinks everyone is. For the second half of the podcast, we surprise Mike with a special appearance from Andrew Sharp of Greatest Of All Talk (which you have to pay for). Sixers Adam had to cancel so the Sharp surprise both delighted and infuriated Mike. Sign up for the Ricky Bark In The Park team for Providence Animal Center here. Raise $50 and get the shirt.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

Mike has finally broken. Doing the show in the dark, probably naked, Mike questions how we got here, and why we're still here, after an embarrassing blowout loss to the Celtics to go down 2-0 in their first round series. Then Andrew Unterberger joins us, who cannot see Mike, as he is sitting in the dark. Enjoy this one, Celtics fans. Fuck you guys. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

Joel Embiid came out dominating, the Sixers came out hitting shots, but couldn't hold on to the ball, and were unable to take advantage. The Sixers were unable to get the ball to Embiid down the stretch, Alec Burks was their go-to guy, and Jayson Tatum had a great third quarter as the Sixers went down 1-0 to the Celtics. We discuss the game, and Mike O'Connor joins us to talk adjustments, the development of Tatum/Brown vs. Embiid/Simmons, and the most controversial tweet of 2020. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

Once again, the Sixers will meet the Celtics in the playoffs. We go through the matchups, discuss how the team will once again torture us, and give our predictions. ESPN's Zach Lowe joins us (finally) to talk about the Sixers team, how we got here, what could happen in the future, and the Celtics series. We also discuss how Zach does his job, and whether he can handle more than one beer.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez Podcast is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.
