Summary
After getting a big win in game one of the series, the Philadelphia 76ers got league MVP Joel Embiid back in the lineup, and promptly got blown out in game 2. Mark and TJ break the game down, and discuss if the 76ers are better off without Embiid in the lineup, and if Nikola Jokic is actually more valuable than him. This, plus Anthony Davis and the Lakers beating the Warriors thanks to a failed Jordan Poole last second YOLO 3 point attempt, Hunter Dickinson is trolling the entire College Basketball media landscape, there is a mystery brewing at the Kentucky Derby, and a whole lot more on today’s show. We'll be back with a new episode Tuesday as we continue our offseason schedule of Tuesday/Thursday uploads.

| 0:08.2 | On today's episode of the Mark Titus show, Joelle and bead is officially the MVP of the NBA. |
| 0:14.0 | But are the 76ers better without him? |
| 0:16.0 | That's what people are saying. |
| 0:17.4 | People are asking the question, um, six are still a game one in Boston without |
| 0:21.6 | and bead. James Harden has 45 points, uh, looks like a prime James Harden, whatever that |
| 0:27.4 | means. Looks like good version of James Harden, not the out of shape version of James Harden. |
| 0:32.5 | Um, it was a James Harden that I found kind of interesting because it felt like people were in |
| 0:37.6 | love with James Harden again. |
| 0:38.9 | And he's a guy that, uh, I think most NBA fans had, had gotten to a point where they were like, |
| 0:43.6 | this guy sucks. |
| 0:44.8 | I'm done watching him, uh, try to bait people into getting to the free throw line and go in |
| 0:50.6 | one on one and all that sort of thing. |
| 0:52.0 | But then, uh, in the right context, as in a little bit of an underdog without the MVP in the, |
| 0:58.1 | in the garden in Boston, um, suddenly it felt like America was rallying behind James Harden's 45 points. |
| 1:02.9 | Uh, the sixers get the big win. |
| 1:05.2 | But then after tonight, we just witnessed the Boston Celtics absolutely massacre the, uh, |
| 1:10.9 | 76ers with Joelle and bead back. |
| 1:13.2 | Um, I'm surprised that Joelle and bead played to be completely honest. |
| 1:16.1 | I mean, it's cool that he did. |
