(20:48-33:31) Bob breaks down X’s and O’s of the game and finds some positivity in terms of Embiid’s health. All-in-all, the Sixers made a lot of good adjustments aside from the final minute.

(33:46- 42:27) Callers voice their frustration and Bob explains what the Sixers should have done differently in the last couple sequences.

(42:26-1:00:43) The show reviews individual performances from last night's game, once again the role players come up small. What is up with Buddy Hield?

(2:21:19-2:34:05) The historic numbers are not on the Sixers’ side being down 2-0, but Amy says there’s a chance. Isaiah Rodgers is cleared to come back at least!
