Thumbs Down For The Sixers, Thumbs Up For The Flyers (PST Episode 597)

This week on the podcast show we have two great discussions as we focus on the Philadelphia 76ers season and what has also been happening on the ice with the Philadelphia Flyers. Both teams are moving in opposite directions. One is progressing. One is faltering. We’ll dive into both teams this week on The Table!

Sean Barnard from Fox Sports Philly’s The Gambler joined us to dissect what we’ve seen from the Sixers as of late. (Approx. 3:30)

• Joel Embiid is injured once again

• Moving on from Embiid? Is it a real possibility?

• The weight is on Maxey.

• Some good basketball coming from Paul George.

From there, we spoke to Rachel Donner from the Locked on Flyers podcast about what we’ve been seeing from his Flyers team on the ice. (Approx. 23:30)

• Analyzing Matvei Michkov’s presence on the ice: the good and the challenges

• Positive and negative under-the-radar storylines to follow this season.

• Assessing the penalty kill. Is it really that bad?

• Positives for the defensemen moving forward?
