On this episode of No Particular Hurry Dave Early interviews AU, who Sixers fans know best as a top columnist for the Right to Ricky team. Is it a problem that this team hasn’t really had a big test in like two months? Will the Sixers try to beat Miami Thursday? Jrue Holiday is terrifying defensively It’s impossible to gauge exactly what the Bucks are going to be during the playoffs… Joel isn’t winning MVP, find a new slant? Joel before vs. after his knee injury, is he the same player? What do we make of the wonky, often all-bench rotations? Is Doc not experimenting enough with his rotations? The long “cavalcade of Sixers backup centers that can’t hang…” If Dwight gets worked in the playoffs, will it be on Doc or Morey? I don’t think we’re ever gonna get to a point where we just turn the key and [Ben Simmons] is unlocked….” Is it stupid that we’re counting Embiid as a forward for the All-NBA team?

May the Fourth be with everyone in Philadelphia 76ers-land! Tom West joins host Adio Royster on the podcast to discuss the man who has become this team’s “Yoda”. Danny Green has been such an improvement to the Sixers roster in 2021. Tom and Adio talk about what he’s done for the team from several different angles. How Green’s shooting opens up the floor and the offense. How his crafty defense is making the team the kind of defensive force we thought they’d be last year, and how his off the court demeanor has helped make players like Matisse Thybulle, for example, become even better players than they already were.

Are the Nets realllly hurt or are they just executing the most shameless load management jawn you've ever seen? What's the latest on James Harden's hamstring will he be ready for the playoffs? Is it possible that some key player (ahem Kyrie!?) on the Nets wasn't in favor of the James Harden acquisition? Is it true that Houston Owner Tillman Fertita placed a "Daryl Morey Tax" on the Sixers in talks for Harden? What would Barclay center sound like if the Knicks and Nets met, would Knicks fans take over? Is Julius Randle a max level player? How quickly are the Knicks looking to be players, are they going to push for a Kyle Lowry or Lonzo Ball this summer? Or perhaps a Brad Beal, Zach LaVine in 2022?

We’re four games into this brutal stretch of games against playoff-caliber opponents, and the Philadelphia 76ers have done … decent. They’re 4-0 after defeating Oklahoma City, Brooklyn, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Dallas Mavericks. There is a sense of unease around David Early, though. It’s warranted as a result of late blown leads to the Nets and Clippers, so Dave joins host Adio Royster to talk about what bothers him about the wins (and “moral defeats”) as Dave called them in his column last week. Dave’s column: https://www.libertyballers.com/2021/4/15/22385890/sixers-beat-nets-in-divisional-showdown-and-remain-in-first-place-but-it-felt-like-a-moral-defeat Learn more about your ad choices.

Is something up with our man, Ben Simmons? He hasn’t been as feisty as he had been going into the All-Star break, and in 11 games out of the ASB, he’s been subpar. Is it because he’s injured? Is something else at work? If so, what is the issue, and what’s the next move for the Philadelphia 76ers with the playoffs looming and seeding being ever so important. Dave Early joins host Adio Royster today to get into all of that, and hopefully calm some of your fears and concerns.

It's a very special episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues where, this week, Steve, Emily and Dan are joined by two highly esteemed guests: Porter (@TrillBroDude on Twitter, host of the Find a Topic podcast) and Keith Pompey (The Philadelphia Inquirer). First, all four pepper Keith with questions about his recent reporting on the team. What was Keith's read on how Kyle Lowry stayed in Toronto after the deadline?

Somehow, some way, Kyle Lowry is still in Toronto. But the Sixers still made headlines by swapping Tony Bradley, picks and Vincent Poirier (oh and Ferguson I guess) for George Hill and Iggy Brazdeikis. Dan and Sean recap Philly's trade deadline as well as other moves from around the league and give their analysis on which teams got better (the Nuggets), and which did some weird things (the Celtics lol).

What happened to Tyrese Maxey -- the youngun’ the Philadelphia 76ers took with the 21st overall pick? He’s still on the team, but he hasn’t been able to crack the rotation on a consistent basis. However, with all of the injuries and inconsistency in the guard rotation, Tyler Monahan joins Adio Royster to discuss why now is the perfect time for the rookie to get some serious run before the team’s inevitable (and hopefully extended) playoff push. Tyler talks about where Maxey would fit and who he would take minutes from. There’s also a little Kyle Lowry trade mentioning as well because that move would push Maxey into getting some considerable second unit minutes.

The Philadelphia 76ers will be without Joel Embiid -- who is out for two weeks with a bone bruise -- but it’s fine. Everything is fine. Why does host Adio Royster feel this way?
