Today's episode of the Sixers Beat, Rich and I talk about the Sixers 127 to 116

loss to the New Orleans Pelicans and some of the disturbing trends that we've seen of late.

We then talk about some of the storylines that were most interested in in 2023,

before finishing off with a couple of questions from the listener mailbag.

Enjoy the podcast and happy new year.

All right, welcome everybody. This is Derek Bodner.

Joined by Rich Hoffman on The Sixers Beat, a part of the athletics podcast network.

Hey, doing, Rich. One final chat here in 2022.

Derek, I'm doing fine. I'm excited to get this going, and I'm excited we're not doing this tomorrow ward.

Yes.

So I guess just as a disclaimer for when you listen to this, when this was recorded,

this was recorded here on Saturday afternoon before the Sixers finished off their

2022 schedule against the Thunder.

We're recording it after the game against the Pelicans because Rich and I are not

competitors enough to have a flu game, basically. We are not going to be able to do that. So rather

than give you a mediocre pod tomorrow, we are going to do a mediocre pod today, but when we're

less hung over. That's a tough draw for an NBA team, by the way, to be in Oklahoma City on New Year's.

I wonder if Hardin might have a private jet that might take him down to Houston after the game.

That's not too far.

Houston, Vegas.

So is going somewhere.

Yep.
