·1 hr 2 min·5 clips

Derek apologizes for the Sixers' embarrassing loss, calling it an inexcusable effort that wasted fans' time.

This episode analyzes the Philadelphia 76ers' 138-89 loss to the New York Knicks just before the All-Star break. Hosts Derek and Troy, joined by "the Envy Bree herself," broadcast live from the Xfinity Mobile Studio. The panel reacts to what they describe as a second consecutive inexcusable performance from the team. The hosts emphasize the absence of key players Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Quinton Grimes. They acknowledge the Knicks are a strong team, even on a back-to-back, but find the scale of the defeat shocking. Derek specifically apologizes to fans for having to watch the game, hoping only paid professionals endured it. The conversation centers on the complete lack of competitive effort displayed from the opening tip. One host states it was some of the most pathetic effort he has seen from a team heading into a break. They debate that a 30-point loss under the circumstances might have been understandable, but this 49-point margin was not. The performance is deemed unbelievable and unacceptable, transcending typical poor play. The tone is one of utter frustration and disbelief at the team's collapse. The show's style is an immediate, raw, and conversational post-game reaction. The hosts express their opinions bluntly and emotionally without formal structure. Listeners who follow the Sixers closely and want unfiltered fan reaction will appreciate this episode. Those seeking tactical analysis or a balanced perspective might prefer to skip it.
