In recent history, the 76ers have typically spent the final week of December on the road, traveling out West. That trend continues this year, as the Sixers close out the 2016 portion of their schedule with a four-game trip.

On this December 23rd edition of The BroadCast, Sixers.com's Brian Seltzer checks in from Phoenix, Arizona, where the Sixers trek begins.

The podcast focuses on:

• Brett Brown talking about what it's like being away from home for the holidays.

• Nerlens Noel's outlook for the road trip.

• The big man meeting that Brown oversaw before Friday morning's shootaround.
