Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

The Sixers finally get back on the winning track, and are getting set for another playoff run. We look at alternate Sixers realities and if you’d feel more confident if fewer trades had been made this season. We also look back at the three year anniversary of the Hinkie resignation, Brett Brown’s multiple 50-win seasons, and some Zhaire, Shake and JaKarr Sampson discussion.

The Sixers are sleep walking through the final couple of weeks of the season, can they flip the switch before the playoffs? We discuss whether the team has enough time together to come together for the playoffs, the final round of the Jigsaw Final Four, Around The League with Ish Smith takes us to MVP, Rookie Of The Year, and Warriors conversation, Bryan Colangelo Relationship Advice, and a very Process mailbag.

The Sixers traveled to Minnesota to play the Timberwolves, and so did we. We discuss the game, Embiid's load management, our meetings with TJ, Rock, and Dario after the game, the chants, and some midwest weirdness. If you're new to the podcast, this one isn't normal for us. This was recorded in front of a live audience sitting on the floor cross legged in a hotel outside of a ballroom eating breakfast.

If all of the Sixers were competing on the Bachelor, who would win? That’s the sort of stuff we tackle after Mike is concerned about the recent malaise, but Spike is not so worried. We discuss Joel Embiid’s dog Klaus saying the name, Zhaire and Shake, a potential Mike Scott tattoo at the Lottery Party, which non-Sixers Philadelphia athlete would be best on the Sixers, the growth of the podcast, how we met and started doing the podcast together, and what Sixers player would win the Hunger Games.

We can’t muster up the energy to be angry about the loss to the Hawks, so we talk about the Boban three pointer, and the reasons why they were destined to lose it. We pivot quickly into some of Mike’s NBA related takes from the NCAA Tournament so far, a Jigsaw bracket, what would happen if Jimmy Butler’s name was Jiminy, and some proposed Zion Williamson trades if the Sixers ended up with the first overall pick. There’s also discussion of a new addition to the Mike Weber Memorial Banned List. There are less than 200 GA Lottery Party tickets left. Don't sleep!

Joel Embiid dominated, Jimmy Butler came through in the fourth quarter, and the Sixers beat the miserable, hate each other, hot seat coach having, Kyrie Irving hating, hate to see it, House Of Pain singing, Boston Celtics. We talk about Embiid and Butler’s performances, a surprise banning from our live shows, and Andrew Unterberger talks about which fans hate us the most. Let’s enjoy this one. Lottery Party presale sold out in about an hour, but you still have a chance at tickets. A limited number of General Admission and VIP tickets go on sale Friday at 10am at this location.

Happy birthday Joel Embiid! Brett Brown talked for 70 minutes to Zach Lowe, but what did he really say? We discuss Brown’s appearance on another podcast, the Sixers third straight win, why the team’s defense isn’t as good as last year’s, how far back we think Joel Embiid is, how good Zion Williamson is and will be, and who might be some good offseason targets for the Sixers. We also announce a special guest for the Final Lottery Party. Lottery Party presale will be 3/20. The only way to get the password is to sign up for the newsletter.

The Sixers sneak by the Cavs lifelessly, but a win is a win, especially after a win. We announce the 2019 Lottery Party details (check them out here), and the fact that it will be the final lottery party. We need you there to give the proper goodbye to the era. We discuss the short-lived Jonah Bolden era, the brand new Zhaire Smith era, Joel Embiid’s return and new dog, and what, in fact, makes Brett Brown a good coach. Lottery Party presale will be 3/20.

With just a month or so left in the season, do the Sixers have enough time with all of their key players together to be good enough to get through the Eastern Conference? Also discussed are what’s going on with Jimmy Butler, the options the Sixers would have if he doesn’t resign, other players we like watching who have never been Sixers, LeBron passing Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. And a new Sixers song from Heemy76.

With three minutes left in the game against the tanking Bulls, the Sixers led by 10 points. They lost. We discuss the final minutes of the brutal game, and the final baffling play. We move on quickly to talk about how much of the team’s late game issues are Brett Brown related, and how much recent comments by Josh Harris puts pressure on him. Finally we cast the Process movie, talk about Redick’s haircut, talk bandwagons, and do a listener submitted Jigsaw.
