May 03, 2022 The Sixers have a Doc Rivers problem featuring @AVI_WA
The Sixers (without Joel Embiid) lost a very winnable game one in Miami to the Heat. We ranted about Doc Rivers, Deandre Jordan, the refusal to change, the major differences between the Heat and the Sixers as organizations and more. Enjoy!

The Sixers scared us for a second but they beat the Toronto Raptors in a game 6 blowout to seal the series and advance to the second round. Next up, the Miami Heat.

April 25, 2022 Sixers Split in Toronto, Head Home Up 3-1 featuring @_JimmyMcCormick
Embiid hit the first game winning shot of his career to go up 3-0 on the Toronto Raptors ... but then we found out he had torn ligaments in his thumb and the team laid an egg in game 4 .. because it's the Sixers baby! But overall we tried to keep things positive on this podcast as the Sixers aim to close out the Raptors at home in game 5 on Monday night. We talked the big shot and win in game 3, the Tobias "Harrison Barnes" vision we discussed finally coming to fruition and why guys like Danny Green, Shake Milton and Paul Reed will be crucial to the Sixers success in the playoffs. We then wrapped up the episode talking about why the Ben Simmons era with the KD/Kyrie Brooklyn Nets continues to look like a disaster before it even gets off the ground.

April 19, 2022 Sixers Destroy Raptors, Go Up 2-0 featuring @MHC_76
Embiid is MVP. Maxey is a superstar. Harden is a point god. Doc and Tobias are finally normal. Paul Reed is playing? Danny Green is not washed? Hopefully we didn't push our luck with this episode. Everyone online is mad about free throws. Everything is good ... for now. Enjoy.

April 13, 2022 Raptors Sixers Series Preview featuring Joe Wolfond & Joseph Casciaro of the Pound the Rock podcast
I was joined by the Pound the Rock guys to preview the Sixers Raptors first round series and talk about why the Raptors are such a weird matchup for the Sixers in general. We discussed a whole ton of stuff including how the Raptors turning their season around, the unique ways they slow down Sixers superstar Joel Embiid and whether some regular season elements such as the Sixers foul drawing and the Raptors transition offense will be able to translate to playoff success. Some other things discussed included the coaching mismatch between Nick Nurse and Doc Rivers, why Thybulle's comments on his vaccination status that will make him ineligible to play in Toronto make zero sense and why sophomore rising star Tyrese Maxey could be a huge part of the Sixers offense in this series. We ended the episode by giving our series predictions and talking about whether the winner of this series will beat the Miami Heat and go on to make the conference finals. Enjoy!

April 11, 2022 Conquering the Sixers Playoff Demons featuring Jim Adair (Aka @NBCsTheSlap)
It's the most dreadful time of the year, the NBA playoffs! The Sixers are playing the Raptors (again) which I will get into more later this week but before that we had to discuss some general things looming over the team including Thybulle's vaccination status that makes him ineligible to play in nearly half the series, why that makes the Deandre Jordan signing even more of a head scratcher, Doc's too late to adjust style that has us scrambling to figure out the backup center position and which eastern conference playoff path was better for the Sixers chances to win the conference and potentially the finals. We also touched on lineup configurations that include possibly resting Harden and Embiid at the same time? At the end of this episode we marveled at how far Joel Embiid has come in his career and all of the adversity he has faced to become the scoring champion and potential MVP of the league. Some other things we tackled included BBall Paul finally getting some run and Tobias Harris getting some love from a national takes men that he probably did not deserve. Enjoy!

April 06, 2022 Joel Embiid is Dragging the Sixers to the Finish Line featuring @DavidEarly
We have seen the movie before Sixers fans! The Sixers cannot figure out how to survive without Joel Embiid on the court and they need to figure it out fast before the playoffs. But hey at least they're shooting a ton of threes now?? Dave Early from Liberty Ballers and Clutch Points App joined me to talk about a lot of things including the weird parallels between the 2018-2019 Sixers and this year's team, Tobias and Maxey becoming more willing three point shooters, and Doc Rivers ruining my life by playing the corpse of Deandre Jordan 10 minutes every night. Next we talked about Doc to the Lakers or Jazz rumors and why he could be the perfect scapegoat (and a justified one) if the Sixers flame out early this year in the playoffs and potential beef between Morey and Doc discovered due to a member of the You Know Ball Discord. Then we discussed the first thoughts of doubt creeping into my brain about James Harden due to his passive play and potentially declining skillset and wonder if the Sixers are having buyers remorse or whether I am just panicking over a few bad games. We also talked about why the Brooklyn matchup doesn't seem as concerning for the Celtics, Sixers and Bucks as it did a few weeks ago ... Finally we closed out the episode ranking my Dreams and Nightmares scenarios for the Sixers in this year's playoffs. Enjoy!

April 01, 2022 Surviving Doc Rivers featuring @RichHomieFlom
Up top I solo ranted about Sixes head coach Doc Rivers post game comments, the end of the James Harden honeymoon, the Sixers recent loss to the Detroit Pistons and what it really says about the team. Next I was joined by Clippers writer and podcaster Rob Flom to talk about what feels like the beginning of the end for Doc Rivers as Sixers head coach following the team's loss to the Bucks where Joel Embiid questioned his rotational decisions. We also talked about Big Wos' from the Ringer's comments from an anonymous Sixers player who told him some not great things about the team and Doc losing the locker room. Next we talked about another massive collapse by the Jazz vs. the Clippers and the 3-5 NBA teams who are most likely to blow it up after this season. We finished the episode talking about our contender tiers in the Western Conference and revisited our pre-season award predictions, some of which we might have actually got right! Enjoy.

March 28, 2022 The Race for the One Seed featuring @Nihilist_Bucks
You can buy YKB merch including the Maxey Better Sadly shirt here: https://you-know-ball.creator-spring.com
HEAT PACK GOING UP. We mostly laughed at the Miami Heat for this entire episode for their fraudulent basketball team and culture as they fall rapidly down the Eastern Conference standing. We also discussed the future of their "star" Jimmy Butler who may be forcing his way out of his fourth NBA team after trying to fight his coach. After the Heat pack session we discussed the Eastern Conference race for the one seed including some talk about the Bucks, Celtics, Nets and of course the Sixers. We then discussed who we think will come out of the Western Conference including the Suns, Grizzles, Warriors, and the Lakers fighting to keep their play-in spot lol. We finished the episode talking about the stupidity of All NBA voting and why one of Jokic or Embiid being left off first team is extremely stupid before picking our first, second and third all NBA teams. Enjoy!
