The Opening Tip
Hello & Happy Almost Weekend - It's the Corner Three!
Shirt Deadline Is Sunday (Then They're Gone)
Oh Yeah, The Sixers
Holy Shit - Part Deux
The Sixers are a bad basketball team. Obviously that's fairly subjective with only 5 games down of an 82 game season but so far, this team has shown atleast traits of being pretty bad. Here's one guy's observations:
Uninspired
Really on both sides of the ball. They half ass run offensive sets and literally DON'T DO SHIT on defense. No effort and really no care.
No Communication
AT ALL. They don't talk on defense except to yell at whoever just let up a wide open three or gave up an open layup.
Boy that bench fucking stinks
Dan House is pretty mid sadly, and De'Anthony Melton hasn't been much better unfortunately, and Trez, oh man. Other than that, things are going well.
The Big Fella
It really all comes back to him. He's been uninspired, almost lazy at times and really just looking like having to play basketball pains him. Maybe it's the plantar fasciitis, in which case, OK then maybe it's time to take a week or so off, but if you're going to play, and I feel like we say this every year with every Embiid injury, you can't be fucking moping around and woe is me. If you're hurt, be hurt, but if you're playing then be a leader.
They could run off 10 straight starting with tonight and all this won't mean shit but this is a team seriously lacking energy and guts and the effort to just want to win right now.
Sponsor Corner
First of all, thanks so much to our friends at MortgaceCS for being the sponsor of the first ever Spike & Rebel Food Truck Festival at Bark In The Park. Second of all, it's been great to hear from so many Ricky listeners who have now worked with MortgageCS and have nothing but awesome things to say. If you are going to need a mortgage, there is just no reason why you shouldn't at least talk to them. Hit up mortgagecs.com/ricky and tell them we sent you.
Speaking of dogs, if you love your dog and your dog isn't sleeping on a Big Barker, you're doing it wrong. Gotta keep that pup healthy, and the Big Barker is the only dog bed that does it. Go to bigbarker.com/ricky and you'll get two free Process Pup patches with the bed.
