Summary

In Hour 2… (1:10) The guys lead off hour 2 with more discussion on the latest drama out of Philadelphia - another injury for Sixers big man Joel Embiid. Junior and Senior discuss if the process is officially over for the Sixers and if they should chang course, and then continue on into the battle in the west between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors. (16:45) NBA Media Coverage has been notably different over the past few seasons, and the guys get into it during this segment. This conversation stemmed from a “Face of the League” debate regarding Anthony Edwards, but the coverage of the Association has been noticeably more negative over the past few months. What has lead to this and how can it be fixed? (32:08) The 2025 Academy Awards took place on Sunday night, and Junior, Senior and Jessie were all locked in on watching Hollywood’s Best. They discuss some of the biggest winners and losers of the night, as well as their opinions on some of the biggest movies the industry had to offer this year. (42:51) This, That and The Third THIS: Pete Rose to the Hall? THAT: Ben Johnson would give WHAT for a ring?

0:40.3	I'm Welcome back to Gojo and Golik. As we all know by now, Joelle Mbide is out for the season.
1:13.5	And apparently things have been getting pretty messy. So Shams reported that Mbid went directly to Josh Harris about the state of his knee and his treatment plan moving forward.
1:23.3	We're hearing that he also made a point to say that there have been fundamental disagreements
1:28.5	between Embed and the team about how to treat his left knee. So fellas, what do you think of
1:34.5	this whole situation? Should the Sixers have made the move to shut down Embed earlier in the
1:39.2	season? Like, obviously this season has not gone the way that everybody thought it would be going for the 76ers.
1:46.4	Yeah, Dad, this is the interesting part because I always thought, hey, the desire to try and prolong this would come from the player side, a guy in Joelle and Bede, that I'm sure here's everything that said about his availability, wanting to go out and prove, hey, I can still do this, to show up for his team in a way
2:01.6	that is no doubt going to affect them going forward. But we all knew this guy based on what we had
2:07.0	seen any time he had touched the court did not look himself. The fact that an injury like this was
2:11.7	taking as long as it did to recover from was a huge red flag. And so yeah, this absolutely should
2:17.2	have been something shut down earlier. And so, yeah, this absolutely should have been something
2:17.9	shut down earlier. And now with what we're hearing prompts questions about the organization
2:22.7	wide ineptitude that goes into a decision like this around a guy who, yeah, we're probably
2:27.4	done with the best of Joe Al-Lambide for now at this point in his career with the mounting number
2:32.2	of injuries. But man, he's still the cornerstone
2:34.5	of your franchise and to have this level of in dealing with him does not signal great things
