My old friend and podcast co-host Jayson Buford from music blogs such as Pitchfork, GQ, Rolling Stone and the Knicks blog Posting and Toasting joined me to discuss all things Sixers, Eastern Conference and Knicks. We discussed the first game of the Sixers-Knicks home and home series and why the new look Sixers are going to be extremely hard to stop. We tried to figure out if Harden and Embiid are the best duo in the NBA right now and the results might surprise you!! Other topics included: Maxey thriving and Tobias struggling to adapt, the Sixers pursuit of an extremely washed Deandre Jordan, the real contenders and pretenders in the Eastern Conference and a slight rant on the media coverage of the below average Lakers. To end the episode, Jayson told me why he is out on Thibs as a coach and we discussed the possibility of Zion Williamson heading to the Knicks.
