Are The Sixers Actually Contenders? (PST Show #344)

The Philadelphia Sports Table | Philly Sports News & Views

Frankly, the Philadelphia 76'ers are not meeting an array of expectations thus far this season. This team has been up and down. They've played down to opponents with less talent. There has also been some discord here and there on the team over the past month. We're asking the question this week; are the Sixers truly contenders this season? This week, Kevin McCormick from Sixerdelphia at Sports Talk Philly joins us to get into it. It's a great interview you won't want to miss!
But first, we looked toward the Eagles offseason. We responded to listener feedback regarding free agents and whether or not LT Jason Peters should and will be back. (approx. 4:10)
From there, we talked about how much we should trust Jake Arrieta on the mound this coming 2020 Phillies season. (approx. 18:15)
We then got into how the Flyers have completely stunk it up playing on the West Coast. (approx. 25:40)
This week on the Highbrow Segment, we responded to listener email following up on a recent Highbrow Segment; how can MLB contracts improve in the future? (approx. 31:25)
Then on our Lowbrow Segment, we'll give our favorite or most ridiculous Eagles drama narrative from the past. (approx. 39:40)
What we're throwing down on the Table this week is an in-depth interview with Kevin McCormick from Sixerdelphia at Sports Talk Philly. Will Al Horford turn things around, or might he be a casualty at the trade deadline? Of course, we discussed the fact that Ben Simmons still has not effectively developed a jump shot. Will this team have the capital to pursue talent at the trade deadline that will help put this team in a better position? Can the Sixers find some balance in the coming weeks and months as they look to find consistency on the court? The ultimate question we asked; should Brett Brown be fired and a new head coach be brought in? All of this and much more this week on the Table! (approx. 49:15)
