The Sixers are 5-3 to start the season, tied for 3rd in the Eastern Conference. So let’s talk about the good and the bad through the first few weeks. Tyrese Maxey looks like an MVP candidate and has taken a leap. VJ Edgecombe showed signs of special but has come down to earth a little. Joel Embiid has hinted at shades of his former self, but is still working up to speed and still isn’t playing every game. Quentin Grimes has looked awesome off the bench. RB goes over all of the main storylines from the first stretch of the season, a few hard truths, and a solution for a few of the key issues with this team. Have the Sixers beat your expectations so far? Today, we discuss it all!

Not gonna lie the hot start gassed me up… we’re definitely not as good as we think we are and I think there’s too much politicking going on… they feel compelled to play Joel Embiid despite being a defensive liability
Peace
I had no expectations, being entertained is all I ask.
What's is the best side dish for Thanksgiving?
hey rb!
Karma……karma for all you haters All I got to say is if you guys think we're going to hire another James Harden or another play like that and just magically win the championship you're delusional. We need a goood Coach. we have a good team we need a good coach. I'm not even saying nick nurse is a bad coach but he needs to be a lot better
It's about accountability, not Fandom. You're blaming Jojo for shit that wasnt his fault. Maxey missed 2 game winners and you blame it on Jojo. We seen this team without Jojo. They're BBQ chicken. We faced our first real big guy 2 nights ago and got cooked
And I guess you forgot Maxey has a max contract too. Look this team will be lucky to be a 6 seed and that's if Maxey makes it thru the season
I blame the coach first for this to even be a talking point. It’s His Job to set the tone as the Leader of this team.
It’s really Simple. Joel and PG hasn’t played or been in basketball Shape for a whole year. As it stands Maxey, VJ and Grimes have been consistently carrying the offensive load and closing.
The only thing Joel and PG need to do concentrating on it playing back into basketball Shape and getting into rhythm with the 1st 3 quarters not in the 4th. Once that happens. The team can start adding wrinkles and dynamics to the offense. Forcing that now will only disrupt, causing confusion and possibly contribute to injury.
the one good thing about not knowing which game plan Nick Nurse will use, is that the other team doesn't know as well, this makes it harder to prepare for them
Fcking ISO ball kings. Have idea how to run set plays. Stand around YMCA ball.
Sounds like a nick nurse issue
Paul George and Dom Barlow are out for the back to back, we AT BARE MINIMUM need to beat the Raptors they aren’t a good team we should comfortably win that game and we will just have to see if we have enough gas to face Detroit but that’s gonna be TOUGHH!!! But go Sixers let’s find a way. Hope we can PG and Barlow back real soon PG could be back Tuesday against Boston but idk about Barlow I hope he okay…
When Pg comes back and is healthy he needs to be the 2nd option. Joe is gonna get his buckets but we need a better guard rotation to get maxey and Vj rest
Sir,, for me,,,, at the early stage of the conference, it's better that this UPS and DOWNS by the Sixers is happening,,so the shortcomings in the very decimal system of defense can be seen and be resolve,, the offense is there, the problem is,, the coach, never change its system in defence in accordance to the team offense of the opponent, and never adjust and change its defense in answer to the individual offensive players of the opponent,, so for me, it's not Alarming for the Sixers position and situation right now, the Law of AVERAGE S is in the positive line as of now, better it's happening now,, so very very soon they will be strong to cover decimal performance in defense,, especially in the 3rd quarter s,,, thank you sir vlogger my friend, from miles away here in Philippines, , always viewing and following, for your a good pure heart Ed person sir,, GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS, KEEP SAFE ALWAYS SIR
No real expectations right now. Not until we see Barlow return and see what happens with PG.
have you notice that Embiid does not play in the third quarter?
the third quarter should be all about Embiid. he will slow down the game to a crawl, letting the starters recover and finish out the 4th
The coach should be rotating players better so that his star players are not too tired for the next game. Nick nurse is not a good coach he needs very good players to win. His coaching does not impact the game as much as it should.
There are no major issues after 8 hands. It’s early season issues , which most teams have right now. It’s because it’s early season nba.
This channel has gone down the shitter man. I don’t understand how you can claim to be a Sixers fan but not realize it’s going to take Embiid some time to get his legs under him
All the stats you're reading are heavily influenced by the first game where Embiid was essentially an in game observer. Since then he's been much better on both sides of the ball. This isn't the first time we've watched the guy, we know he starts off slow in the first few games of the year. By the end of the season he's plus a million, holding down your defense and leading the league in scoring. Y'all are over hyping a sluggish start because you never wanted him, not even in MVP form. Ok so buy him out. I'd love to see him in Golden State myself
Get rid of Joel when he is still putting up 20 now.
They have dead legs the guards are playing thibodeau level minutes and yet the entire fan base says Embiid and Paul George should never touch the court. Not only that but they should run and Gun the entire 48 minutes. Okay so when do they rest? Who subs them out if you have 5 players on your roster that shouldn't ever suit up? I'm sure your all guard lineup is going to have opponents shaking in their boots with Maxey and McCain protecting the rim. Fortunately fans don't actually make any of the decisions
The actual condition of Joel's knee is classified info, like the Manhattan Project. Want to know if Joel can ever defend and rebound at the NBA level? Subpoena his orthopedic surgeon. The Sixer organization will never tell.
I can't really say anything about this team until PG and Joel return. And hopefully that happens soon because I think it'll be too late next season.
I can’t say they’re better than expected. I have to give Morey credit but being able to move that 100m will be the challenge not winning games but if pg has a new bag it will be interesting
I blame the coach and get rid of embiid, & this is coming from his biggest fan
I was saying this when doc Rivers was there three and d play inside out. We indeed have enough versatility (especially when Paul George gets back and I hope he's good to go) to defend in enough play making to kick out to open shooters. We are a great 3-point shooting team and now we're in the middle of the pack defense. It's time for the nurse to dig into his bench and get creative cuz we got it. It's how you use it and maximize it which will take us very far.
I can’t believe I’m bringing up this name, but if there’s one thing Doc Rivers did really well, it was playing a balanced rotation. Now, I don’t want Nurse to go to the extreme of playing both a “starting unit” and a “bench unit” but his rotations need to become more consistent once everyone is healthy!
