The Sixers split their home back to back with the Pistons and the Wolves. We talk about the games, Joel Embiid’s public disagreement with the Sixers on his health and whether he should have played vs the Wizards, and whether fans should boo Tobias Harris.

The Sixers beat the Wizards, and Sixers Adam joins Spike and Mike to talk about it. We discuss Paul George's play since his return, the Sixers issues on defense and rebounding, potentially playing Adem Bona with Embiid, and Andre Drummond's corner threes. Then we tell Adam how to hide in the Sixers film sessions, talk about what Evan Turner's problem is, and congratulate Doc Rivers.

Fresh legs! The Sixers are back, baby. We enter the tease as they beat the Hornets, inching them closer to the sixth seed. We talk about the win led by Maxey’s surprise return, their continued rebounding deficit, and how the NBA has proposed to fix the tanking issue.

The Sixers blew out the Bulls in the return game for Joel Embiid and Paul George. We talk about how both players looked, what it means for the rest of the season, as well as VJ Edgecombe plowing through the rookie wall, and whether Justin Edwards will stay in the rotation. Then we discuss Nick Nurse's comments about Jared McCain, and all of those babies whining about their precious 65 game rule.

The Sixers, though it may not have totally felt that way, have completed a successful road trip after beating the Jazz. On the verge of the home stretch of the season, we talk about whether the team can escape the play-in, the reaction Paul George will get upon his return, how Jared McCain will play in his first game against the Sixers, and a lie that Lou Williams told.

The Sixers do not appear to have what it takes to make a run this year. The McCain trade looms as well as Embiid and George’s contracts. Are Daryl Morey and Nick Nurse’s jobs safe? Plus, the NBA talks expansion, and the Sixers get smoked in Denver.

On today's show, Spike and Mike discuss MOC’s article on if the Sixers have reached the Zugzwang, referenced in the Hinkie letter, that describes the situation where you’re forced to make a move that will worsen your position. MOC proposes that the Sixers have three main options moving forward. Mike is joined later on by Bo Belanger, creator of Connie and Jack: A Rigged Game, a podcast that follows Connie Hawkins, basketball superstar who is blackballed from the NBA for a crime he didn’t commit. Oh, and the Sixers barely beat the Nets.

Tyrese Maxey, out for three weeks. Kelly Oubre, out for two weeks. We talk about the ramifications of the injuries (in addition to Embiid's injury and Paul George's suspension) and whether it might be better to just lose in the play-in and take a shot at that top four pick. We also discuss Bam Adebayo's 83 point game being overshadowed by The Cam Payne Game, and why anyone would dip pizza in ranch dressing.
