The Sixer Sense Podcast is back with a full lineup as the Sixers await the Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics first-round playoff series. What seemed like a sweep before the start of the playoffs has now turned into a nail-biting series. Trae Young hit a deep three-pointer to give the Hawks a 119-117 victory and force a Game 6 back home in the ATL. Can Atlanta actually pull off the upset of Boston? Even if they don’t, how is this series affecting the Celtics players and Joe Mazzulla?
Next up, the conversation gets heated as Lucas Johnson, Christopher Kline, and Jonathan Geib debate whether Tobias Harris or Alex Caruso is the better NBA player. This topic came up off-air and the group brought it to the podcast for all to hear. Who would you rather have right now: Harris or Caruso? Tobias’ play in the first round versus Brooklyn may be the deciding factor.
Chris follows this up with his NBA Top 100 Players list. His article is now live on the Sixer Sense website and is sure to spark debate among readers. The group debates the merits of the list and the top 10 is where most of the disagreement lies. Who will land in the top spot? Is there any chance it is the presumptive NBA MVP from the Sixers?
The podcast ends with the guys discussing the remaining first-round series that have yet to be decided. At the time of this recording, in the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia 76ers are the only team to have advanced in the playoffs. The Miami Heat and New York Knicks both have close-out opportunities tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers, respectively. In the Western Conference, the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets will match up after advancing with 4-1 first-round series wins. Can the Los Angeles Lakers end the Memphis Grizzlies season tonight? And who will come out on top between the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings? Give the podcast a listen to hear what the group thinks!
