On this episode of the heat check, we have a special interview with NBA insider Robin Lundberg.

0:19.4

Robin appeared on my other show, BitMGM Tonight, where I was joined by my co-host, Ryan Horvah, and Nick Ashue.

0:24.8

Robin starts out by answering who is more important to their team coming off the injury report?

0:29.4

Joellen B. or Carl Anthony Towns?

0:31.6

So, Anthony, do me a little favor and drop that motherfucker that should be Rihanna.

0:53.4

Like I said, Robert starts out by telling us, who's more important to their team,

0:55.1

Joelle M.B. or Carl Anthony Towns? Let's get into it. I mean, I think you have to say it's Embed simply because the Sixers are

1:00.9

completely written off in his accents, right? I mean, the T-Wolves that have held their own and

1:06.4

we've, you know, fallen in love with Ant Man in the process. Embed is the reason we believe in the Sixers at all. Now, he hasn't gotten it done in the postseason, I think, for a myriad of reasons. All the time he's been hurt. You know, he likes to sell out for calls and stuff like that, and the officiating can get a little tighter in the playoffs in a good way. but, you know, in a sense, there's a chance,

1:29.2

as long as he's actually right that his injury was a blessing in disguise for them, because

1:34.1

generally it's this point of the year when he's really starting to break down. So if he broke

1:39.1

down when he did, got right in the meantime, and then it's fresh for the playoffs, and they can get the best

1:45.4

version of Embed, because I don't think we're ever going to see the guy play game one

1:49.5

through the postseason completely healthy. Maybe it works out in their favor, but I think you

1:55.1

have to say it's Embedd simply because he changes the entire equation for Phyllis.

1:59.5

Yeah, no, I agree with that, especially considering, like you said,

2:03.0

a healthy M. Bid is a very dangerous M. Bid, and we just really don't get that M. Bid in the playoffs.

2:08.0

What are you hearing about Julius Randall, Robin, if anything?

2:12.2

Do you think if he comes back, it'll be difficult to integrate him into an offense

2:16.7

that has completely changed and evolved since his injury? I don't think it would be difficult to integrate him into an offense that has completely changed and

2:18.4

evolved since his injury?
