Stretch Four

We try to make sense of the NBA's lottery reform rules (an impossible task, but a fun conversation), take a quick look at the playoffs, and then try to make sense of the NCAA, what defines a "student athlete," and come up with a fantastic idea for saving college athletics (you have to listen to find out what it is).

The Philadelphia 76ers front office situation might be f'd. The NBA Conference Finals are popping off. And Keenan has a beef with all of Toronto. All that and more this week on Stretch Four.

Another Philadelphia 76ers season has come to an end. We don't even get to celebrate the victory over the Celtics on the pod before we commiserate getting swept by the Knicks. We take a small look back and a smaller look forward toward what might be next for our Sixers (we've got a few pretty creative ideas). Then, we take a look at the teams left standing in the NBA and ask: "who do we want to win most/least?"

The Philadelphia 76ers are having the most Philadelphia 76ers time in their matchup with the Boston Celtics. Ahead of Game Six, we're here to talk about all of the ups and downs and in betweens that we should have totally known we were in for at the start of it all. In many ways, we did (you can go back and listen to previous episodes if you need proof.)

After everything, the Sixers will face the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs.

We talk about the Sixers' victory in the play-in game and their upcoming matchup with destiny. We give our "best case/worst case" scenarios for the playoff "run, " talk about the team's choice to wear their throwback black jerseys for home games during the playoffs, and finally take a look at the MVP race in the NBA.

Well...the Philadelphia 76ers are definitely, for sure, 100% cursed. We talk about Joel Embiid's appendix and the pain (or potentially freeing possibility) of "what if."

Then we make fun of Doc Rivers for a little while before Keenan shares some thoughts on the Geno Auriemma/Dawn Staley spat.

What begins as a look at the Sixers' ascension out of the play-in turns into a multi-round draft of the most interesting teams in the NBA over the course of the past decade.

We also get into a brief discussion of Kanye West's new album "Bully" and Michael Jordan's (very revealing) comments on the idea of "The GOAT."

A Very Philly Episode this week as Keenan and Aaron discuss the rumors that the Sixers wanted to trade for Kawhi Leonard, and how that played into their decision to trade Jared McCain plus an article from The Philadelphia Inquirer about the death of Big 5 basketball and a very pandering piece from Philadelphia Magazine that attempts to name the "25 Most Philly Athletes of All Time."

This week, we talk about NBA team building and talent evaluation, inspired by the Charlotte Hornets' VP who admitted to using AI in making their decision to draft Kon Knueppel. Then, we move from one "con" man to another as Keenan tells Aaron all about this week's state of the union address.
