JOEL HANS EMBIID HAS RETURNED TO SAVE THE SIXERS SEASON & I COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT IT. I chat all things Embiid, his return in a win against the OKC Thunder, Kelly Oubre Jr showing up big time, the odds of the Sixers moving into 7th for a possible matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks, Maxey, Lowry, Melton, Buddy & more on the Sixers side. I also discuss the phenomenal weekend of college hoops we just witnessed. Caitli...

Kelly Oubre Jr. cements himself in Philadelphia sports history with one of the single greatest postgame rants towards the refs that we've ever seen. I chat about the current state of the Sixers while they await the return of the MVP, an outlook of the rest of the regular season, Draymond Green making Steph Curry cry (literally), the Caitlin Clark hate solidifies her GOAT status, sports betting and gambling has already taken a wrong...

There's the calendar new year.
There's the lunar new year.
... and there's the new year that happens every year in Philadelphia 76ers land. It is the day where we ultimately come to hear the news that Joel Embiid will be sidelined with a serious injury that will cause him to miss multiple weeks/months of an NBA season. This time, after seemingly forcing himself to play in the game against the Golden State Warriors, Embiid has now b...

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO ACCURATELY DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL ABOUT WHAT WE WITNESSED. Joel Hans Embiid. 70 piece. History. Simply amazing. I dive deep into the single greatest offensive performance that I've ever seen, how it stacks up historically, what it means for Embiid's 2024 MVP case & marvel some more on the performance.

On today's episode of the Out of Site Podcast, Adio Royster has to eat a little bit of crow as the Philadelphia 76ers defeat Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets 126-121 in South Philadelphia this past Tuesday. (For context, Adio continues to state that Jokic is the best center in the NBA followed closely - his words - by Joel Embiid). Embiid played well. Tyrese Maxey threw in another excellent night in close to 43 minutes played, a...

JOEL EMBIID IS THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER ON THE PLANET. PERIOD. Joel Embiid makes his return to action with back-to-back 40 pieces in wins against the Rockets and Nuggets & I just can't get enough of it. The timing of Embiid's return could not have possibly been better, with the Birds crushing our hearts this weekend, but we aren't going to talk about that... I discuss Embiid's dominance, his now 6-2 overall record against Jokic, ...

The happiness of last week's podcast is all but gone now that Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid has missed the last few games with a knee injury.
Adio Royster and David Early express frustrations with the Sixers coaching staff (seemingly) continuing to mismanage Embiid's minutes based on his health. After an awkward landing against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Embiid continued to play and now hasn't been in the lineup since the...

The injury bug bit league wide, bit hard & it couldn't suck worse... Joel Embiid's knee injury, Tyrese Haliburton's hammy, Ja Morant's shoulder... Brutal. I dive into what Joel Embiid's MVP bid looks like this season with the new games played threshold, what the NBA was possibly thinking with their back-to-backs scheduled this season, what's up with the Bucks, Giannis' outrageous postgame quotes, Wemby the one man highlight, Jokic'...

It has been a long time since your hosts Adio Royster and David Early got together to talk Philadelphia 76ers. Maybe they just haven't been able to formulate the takes and stunning commentary you would expect (given the off-season) because they've had to flip the script.
Subtract James Harden. Subtract Doc Rivers. Insert Nick Nurse. Insert Tyrese Maxey.
After all of that, your Sixers are 23-10 after 33 games of the 2023-2024 season...
