Garbage into Gold: A Sixers Podcast: Recent Episodes
Garbage into Gold
After over three months, the pod is back. We talk about the Sixers expectedly shitting the bed against the Nets during Ben Simmons' return to Philadelphia, what the team's playoff ceiling is and the joys of Tyrese Maxey.
Brandon and Jesse are back. The two discuss the Sixers latest win over the Hornets and their overall apathy towards Sixers regular season games after all of the disappointing playoff exits of years past. Is it time to blow things up? Jesse might think so. Does anyone want Tobias? Who knows.
The Sixers closed out a 4-0 homestand with an exciting win over the new-look Chicago Bulls. We talk about the standouts from the game, Embiid's up and down performances this season and Georges Niang's impressive outing for the second straight game. Also discussed are thoughts on the Simmons-less Sixers through eight games and updates on the three-time All-Star's situation in Philadelphia.
The Sixers tipped-off their 2021-22 campaign against the Pelicans to the tune of a 117-97 victory. Embiid was himself, Furkan caught fire and the bench looked very promising. We talk about the win and the latest updates in the Ben Simmons saga.

Yaron Weitzman's Joel Embiid story: http://53eig.ht/2OnZOO3
Garbage into Gold is part of Philadelphia Sports Nation.
The Sixers got their first win without Joel Embiid, thanks in large part to the play of Furkan Korkmaz and Matisse Thybulle.

We also talk about the Sixers new coach winning Coach of the Month honors, Embiid vs. Jokic in the MVP race and whether or not a reunion with J.J. Redick makes sense.

Nine games into the season, the Sixers look like one of the best teams in the NBA. It's still very early, though. After wins against the Hornets and Wizards, the Sixers were unable to overcome a Brooklyn Nets team without Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and Spencer Dinwiddie. We discuss the high-scoring affair against Washington, Seth Curry's importance to the Sixers depth, team performance during back-to-backs and whether or not Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot is better than Landry Shamet. Also, Tyrese Maxey continues to impress. NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the news of Seth Curry testing positive for COVID-19.

The Sixers improve to 5-1 on the season after victories against the Raptors, Magic and Hornets. Joel Embiid looks more engaged on both ends, Tobias Harris and Seth Curry are heating up and the team's depth seems to be better than it has been in quite some time. We discuss the latest three wins, Ben Simmons' latest three pointer, Tyrese Maxey's first career three, how sustainable the Sixers success is against the better teams and whether or not Giannis is overrated (spoiler alert: he might be).

Brandon Apter and Jesse Larch discuss the Sixers back-to-back on the road against the Knicks and Cavs. Joel Embiid had another dominant performance, Tobias Harris bounced back (but still doesn't look great) and while Ben Simmons was solid against the Knicks, he had a game to forget against Cleveland...which leads Brandon to want to trade him for James Harden tonight. We also discuss the early season impressions of the Nets, Bucks and Warriors.

The Sixers beat the Wizards 113-107 in their 2020-21 season opener.

We talk about Embiid's slow start and dominant finish, Ben Simmons' aggression in the second half, Shake Milton for 6th Man of the Year, Tyrese Maxey's debut and the concern level for Tobias Harris.
