In the debut episode of Second Round Syndrome, DJSportsZone and Jav Harris break down an early-season revelation: the Philadelphia 76ers are must-watch basketball. Fresh off a 130–120 win over the Toronto Raptors, the guys unpack Tyrese Maxey’s MVP-level explosion, Trendon Watford’s first career triple-double, and why this year’s roster finally has the depth, youth, and identity the franchise has been missing.

They get into everything:

• Maxey’s superstar jump (33 PPG, elite efficiency, real MVP buzz)
• VJ Edgecombe’s electric Rookie of the Year campaign
• Embiid’s evolving role and the team’s rebounding/third-quarter issues
• Nick Nurse’s questionable late-game play calls

Then it’s a tour around the NBA: Detroit’s hot start, Boston’s predictable early struggle, Chicago’s surprising surge, and the absolute chaos in Dallas — from the Luka-for-AD disaster to the mishandling of Cooper Flagg. Plus: where Ja Morant makes the most sense if Memphis decides to move on.

Finally, the hosts recap a nostalgia-soaked night at the arena featuring classic jerseys, Hip-Hop the mascot’s return, and a full-blown halftime popcorn fiasco you won’t believe.

A packed first episode that sets the tone for the season: honest, unfiltered, and full of hoops energy.
