Philly Moosecast #10: Colangelo’s Conundrum

Almost a month after the NBA draft lottery, we are no closer to determining who the Sixers will take at #3. If anything we’re further.

Philly Moosecast: Three’s Company

With the NBA Draft less than a month away, Paul Mancano and Joe Leonard delved into the Sixers’ strategies. Take a listen:

Fans aren’t ready to give up on Nerlens Noel, but the Sixers already have

BY PAUL MANCANO – Last night, in the third quarter of one of the Sixers’ more embarrassing home losses of the season, fans began to get restless. The Sixers and the Pelicans were trading buckets with little resistance to start the second half. The lax defenses that have become trademarks for both teams this season were leading to easy buckets on both ends. Philadelphia couldn’t cut the lead to single digits as the minutes ticked away. Frustration set in.

Why the Sixers are probably stuck with Jahlil Okafor (for now)

BY PAUL MANCANO—The NBA has nearly perfected the 12-month media cycle. October through July is jam-packed with the draft, the free agency frenzy, banana boats, and actual games. But August and September are the dead zones. Nothing happens in these two months.

Philly Moosecast #8: Great Furkan Draft

The 2016 NBA Draft went pretty damn well for the Philadelphia 76ers. They got their man, Ben Simmons, and added two pieces in Timothe Luwawu and Furkan Korkmaz that fill their immediate needs. Sam Hinkie with the alley, Bryan Colangelo with the oop.

The Moosecast Returns

Since our most recent Philly Moosecast, the Sixers played an entire season, Sam Hinkie was pushed out and replaced by Bryan Collangelo, Steph Curry won the first ever unanimous MVP Award, the Sixers won the NBA draft lottery, and Andrew Bynum appeared at the NBA Finals as a blonde.

Needless to say, there was much to discuss.

Philly’s Sports Teams are Experiencing a Promising Resurgance

BY PAUL MANCANO—If winning cures all ills, losing causes them. And in 2015, the four major Philadelphia sports teams all caught something bad, and incredibly contagious.

By December, the regime of Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, once sparkling and promising, lay in shambles, and the Super Bowl dreams of August quickly turned to nightmares. The team lacked competitiveness from the start of the season, and an overhauled roster gave the fans few players to trust. Kelly’s failures in overseeing player personnel blurred with his failures as a play-caller, and the end result was dreadful.

Philly Moosecast #6 – Jah’s (Jaws) on the Floor

It’s the preseason, which means it’s time to prematurely and presumptuously postulate. In this Moosecast, Paul Mancano and Joe Leonard touch on more than one terrible Philadelphia sports team. Which one is it? There are too many to choose from.

Philly Moosecast #5 – Lukewarm Questions

You thought it was safe. You thought with the high-pitched buzz of the Eagles and Phillies drama drowning out all other noise during the month of August, surely there would be no more college-aged white guys making Sixers podcasts.

You were wrong.
