The Philadelphia 76ers have fallen hard after a 4–0 start, losing nine of their last 15 and sliding to ninth in the East. In this episode, DJSportsZone and Jav Harris break down a brutal stretch — including blowout losses to Miami and Orlando — and a double-overtime collapse against an Atlanta Hawks team missing Trae Young and Kristaps Porziņģis.

They dive into the biggest storylines from a chaotic week:

• Maxey’s “illegal” workload: In the first game all season where Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Paul George played together, Maxey was still forced into 52 minutes and dropped 44 points — but clear fatigue showed as he missed two key free throws.
• Minutes-restriction madness: Embiid and George were both unavailable for the second overtime due to strict limits, derailing the debut of the “Big Three.”
• Effort problems everywhere: Embiid finished with just four rebounds, while guards like Maxey and Quentin Grimes continue to out-rebound the frontcourt — a trend the hosts call “ridiculous.”
• Nick Nurse criticism: From the defensive lapses to leaning on Kyle Lowry, the coaching decisions get put under the microscope.
• Strange quotes & trade talk: The guys react to Paul George’s bizarre postgame comments and debate whether the Sixers should explore moving him — even if it means attaching young talent like Jared McCain. Ben Simmons talk? Shut down immediately.

Around the league, the hosts discuss OKC’s 20–1 domination, bold trade scenarios, and why LeBron’s future in L.A. is far from guaranteed.

A sharp, fiery breakdown of a Sixers team spiraling fast — and what it means for the season ahead.
