The trade deadline is over, the Sixers traded Jared McCain (and Eric Gordon). They also signed Dominick Barlow to a standard NBA contract. At least they ducked the tax. Think of all the money Josh Harris will save (about $4 million).

The Sixers beat the Giannis-less Bucks behind a scorching second half from Paul George and Jared McCain. We talk about the win, some BS that Doc Rivers said, what the hell that Jurassic Park promo during the game was, along with some trade ideas for the deadline, the center situation if Drummond gets traded, and Danny Green confirming some Ben Simmons lore.

Spike hosted an event with Chuck Klosterman at the Midtown Scholar Bookstore in Harrisburg last week. This is a recording of that entire conversation covering several topics within the book, reclining your seat on an airplane, standing at a concert, AI and the future of entertainment, and more. Thanks to Midtown Scholar, Chuck, Alex Brubaker and everyone else who made it happen.

We're 42 games through a Sixers season that is better than last year, but how good is it and can it be? We take stock in the team at the midway point, what we can expect, and what they should do at the trade deadline. Then we discuss the loss to the Suns and if it's ok to sleep with a second cousin if you live in Iceland.

The Sixers dropped two to the Cavs, we talk about Embiid looking great on offense but causing some issues on defense, Maxey's tough games and where the Sixers sit in the Eastern Conference at the moment. Then we meet the newest member of Team Ricky, writer and data scientist Beckett Sanderson who writes the column Enter Statman. We talk to Beckett about his day job as a college basketball data guy, his thoughts on the current S...
The Sixers split against the Raptors and things are looking up. Embiid is dunking and playing great, but for how long will it last? Then we get into the Eagles losing, Lowry’s special send off in Toronto, and a Jacksonville reporter complimenting the head coach after a loss.

The Sixers are 6-1 in the last seven games Joel Embiid has played, and they're two games out of the three seed. Could it all be happening this year? We talk about the win in Orlando and how everything is settling into place. Then we discuss a Joel Embiid trade scenario, re-address the airplane seat recline debate, and explore the likelihood of a Maxey MVP.

The Sixers properly whipped up on the Wizards, and we talk about Tyrese Maxey's shoot first attitude, Paul George's silky smooth shot, and the difference between loose and quick Joel Embiid and crunchtime Embiid. Then we introduce the newest member of Team Ricky, Beckett Sanderson, a data scientist that will write a weekly column called Enter Statman. Finally, we discuss a new entry in the plane seat reclining debate.
The Sixers won in Madison Square Garden behind impressive games from VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey. We talk about their performances, and the team with Embiid and Paul George rounding into form. We then discuss if the Sixers will make a move with their available draft picks to improve this year's team, restart the reclining seat conversation and answer some relationship advice questions about wedding rings and book clubs.
The Sixers rallied for a win in Memphis over the Grizzlies in a signature VJ Edgecombe performance. Embiid looked the most spry he has in years in the team's first win with Maxey, Embiid and Paul George all active. Then we relive the Lottery Party moment at Franklin Music Hall when we got the #3 pick, and put the APB out for a Ricky listener on an Amtrak train who stole a seat. Happy 2026, we love you.
The Sixers started their road trip with a loss in Chicago. We talk about Embiid's success on offense but deficiencies on defense and how the team looks with and without him. Then we talk about everyone else in the game, who largely sucked. Mike suggests a new plan for backup point guard, a listener suggests a Michael Porter Jr trade, and relationship advice returns with some gift giving and receiving advice.
The Sixers showed up and played their worst game of the season against the Nets. Mike threw up the entire podcast to celebrate. Then we talk about Jared McCain's progress, Ben Simmons buying a competitive fishing team, how much credit Nick Nurse gets for the development of the young players, and a listener thinks Adam Silver will be in the Epstein files.

The Sixers won back to back games over the Knicks and the Mavericks, both in exciting fashion. We talk about how great Maxey looked, the evolution of VJ Edgecombe, the surprise of Dominick Barlow, Andre Drummond's corner threes, and a step forward for Jared McCain. Then we talk about a way to fix the NBA Cup, and some interesting hats made by listeners.

We're gliding through the NBA Cup break with a talk about whether you're buying or selling your stock in Jared McCain and what your worry level should be about his play so far this season. Then we dive into the NBA Referees official Twitter account going after Sixers color guy Alaa Abdelnaby regarding the obvious backcourt violation they missed, as Spike turns into a ref guy, then discuss a listener idea for an Embiid for K...
