What we're throwing down on the Table this week is discussion with Tom West from LibertyBallers.com about this Philadelphia 76ers playoff run early in the first-round against the Washington Wizards. It's a great discussion you won't want to miss!
But first, we discussed how the Sixers looked after a dominant game 2 of the series against the Wizards, and responded to listener feedback about how critical Doc Rivers has been to the success of the team this year. (approx. 3:55)
We then dissecting how tension between coaching and players relationships gets out of control for some sports teams and organizations. How do things get so bad for some coaches, players and teams? (approx. 22:10)
From there, we tried answering the question about why wouldn't the NFL use the new 17th game of the season to create yearly in-state rivalries? For example, Eagles/Steelers, Jets/Giants, San Fran/LA. (approx. 36:25)
The Phillies are going through a tough time on the field, and much of it is due to injuries. They're not fun, and Joe Girardi has been under some pressure after having lied to the media about Bryce Harper's injury status. (approx. 40:50)
Then we got into a fun discussion about If we had enough money to buy a sports franchise, what team and franchise would we buy, and why?(approx. 48:05)
What we're throwing down on the Table is an in-depth interview with Tom West from Liberty Ballers as we dissected how this Sixers team is looking early in the playoffs. What might make them vulnerable in this series? Can Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris be stopped? Now more than ever, the casual fan needs to pipe down when it comes to Ben Simmons and his contributions on the court. Plus much more! It was a great discussion! (approx. 55:10)
