Keith has the "why am I here" look on his face. 76ers are an embarrassment and Josh Harris needs to sell the team.
Cavs, Celtics, Knicks are absolutely NOT worried about a healthy Embiid…. That’s crazy
The jazz won so we are equal seventh last
Liked "They cant tank Correctly" @8:39… 🤣 So trade a few players @ the trade deadline…. Play the old guys (this is the only thing NN has been doing right). Correct me if I'm, wrong but most of the bench is on 1 yr contracts so they wont be on the team next year anyway!!!
If 2024 is any indicator, the most wins to be the six worst in the league would be 21. This means they can only win 6 more games. If they win 10 more games this would move them to the 7 or 8 worst team.
Not good enough to be go anywhere in the playoffs and not bad enough to get a top 6 pick😮💨
Really like that embed stadium poster in the background….wonder where one can get that?
Yeah the Sixers are going to be real tough in the playoffs.What playoffs!
They stink!
The 76ers play Cleveland Friday! How do u think that's gonna work out?
Joel will never be healthy, and the sixers don't need to tank because they are already bad.
Kayla why are asking the same stupid question about Butler????? Keith was spot on about PG and other players who have to play through Embiid. I think that PG is a bad fit, I don't see Embiid and Maxey altering their game to the point where they enable PG to fit in. The situation is PG came to our team, he needs to find a way to fit in. I think this is just a bad mix of players. Embiid and Maxey as you all know are to ball dominant…aka ball hogs.
Keith hates this job rn
Makes more sense for them to tank because they can come back next season with a high draft pick player and they can be healthy.
My gosh the overreacting is insane. It's one season. Harris sell the team? Laughable.
If Morey can't recoup their FRP I would probably let him go. Getting 6th or worse will be hard bc of their winning stretch they had. Priority is getting that pick back.
I would deal PG for Beal and those 3 FRPs in a heartbeat
Been waiting on this podcast. Honestly my favorite spots Podcast
Keith looks sick asl 😭😭
Title of the video is wrong. It should be intentionally or unintentionally tank. Either way, it's a wrap. If Embiid comes back, they'll win some games, may even get the 10th spot in the play in. They're not winning anything in the playoffs. The team is horribly constructed…
They can't win a play in.
