All right, welcome, everybody.

This is Derek, along with Rich, on take two of this week's Sixers beat, still a part of the CLNS Media Network, just like it was the last time we recorded a podcast about an hour ago.

How you doing, Rich?

Explain to them why we have to do this again, Derek. We did a pretty good one, I thought, last time.

Because I'm an idiot, and we started recording a podcast just before the 5.30 p.m. injury report.

And we even mentioned at the end of it that the injury report was coming up in about three minutes.

And when the injury report came out,

it pretty much invalidated everything we had talked about

because Joelle Mbeat is now listed as doubtful for game one

of the Sixers versus Nets opening round series.

And I started the last, the now-hit lost episode of the Sixers, last the now lost episode of the

six would be not the first lost

lost episode by the way with a

quote from Game of Thrones

and unfortunately now it seems like we're moving on

to the if you think this has a happy ending

you haven't been paying attention

because that seems like a much more fitting Game of Thrones quote than the one that we used earlier.

I don't have the creative ones that you do, but winter is coming.

Yes.

That's what I would say.

We actually got a lot of feedback on our last one that it was too negative of a podcast.
