You Know Ball: A (Mostly) Sixers Podcast You Know Ball

On this episode we discussed why the Lakers should throw the first play in game to avoid playing the Nuggets round one and then we completely contradicted ourselves by calling the Cavs cowards for throwing their game today in order to avoid the Heat and Sixers in round one. We then talked about the Bucks finishing below .500 with Doc Rivers as head coach and their heated rivalry with the Pacers getting another chapter, this time in the first round of the playoffs.

Finally we predicted the results of the Play-In Tournament Games: Sixers vs. Heat, Lakers vs. Pelicans, Warriors vs. Kings and Bulls vs Hawks. Enjoy.

The Play-In Predictions start at 39:28


Special guest = Klutch and Lakers Shill Harrison Faigen (@hmfaigen) from SBNation NBA

We had some internet connection issues but tried to edit it the best we could. Sorry for that. On this episode we discussed Giannis' latest injury and the Bucks vibes being off, why the Knicks could have an early playoff advantage, where the Sixers rank in the East power rankings and what teams we believe in and do not believe in both the east and the west. We also riffed on the upcoming "bad" draft randomly throughout the podcast. Enjoy.

Tyrese Maxey is the favorite for Most Improved Player but should he win the award? We talked about the history of the award and whether a breakout player like Coby White should win instead. Then we talked about who will benefit and suffer from the NBA's "New Rules" that allow more physicality. Finally we will talk about some NBA media observations including Jokic and the Nuggets stranglehold on this season's NBA narratives and more.

We then talked about friend of the pod Kevin O'Connor and the Ringer dropping their first mock draft with a surprise player at number one so we riffed on that player and a few other college draft prospects. And then finally we did a segment on whether we are sleeping on the breakout New Orleans Pelicans. Also a bonus rant from Trill on the Sixers handling of Joel Embiid's injury. Enjoy.
