In today's episode of The Sixers Beat, Rich and I talk about the Matisse Fibble situation and his

ineligibility to play in Toronto.

We then dive into a brief mailbag talking about topics like the Staggers, the overall state

of the Sixers offense, and whether the game slowing down in the

playoffs can help alleviate some of these concerns.

Enjoy the podcast.

All right. Welcome, everybody. This is Derek Bodner. Join, welcome everybody.

How you doing, buddy? Dog Days, coming right down to the end.

I'm doing fine, man.

There's just a – it's a lot of games at the end of this season.

A lot of games. They need to space this out a little bit better. I mean, the Sixers, thank God this is almost over. I mean, they haven't had more than a day off for forever, and they've had a bunch of back-to-backs, including one this weekend. All right, it's almost over. Playoffs are almost here. It is. three games and four Nets close out.

Like you said, there is the back-to-back. This weekend. All right. It's almost over. Playoffs are almost here. It is. Three games and four nets close out.

Like you said, there is the back to back to end it.

So we will do, rather than try to talk about a specific game, we will take a step back and talk to a mailbag podcast.

Before we get to that, though, there was a bit of news that we have to talk about this came out after

pretty much right when we hit the end button on our last podcast um so that's why we didn't talk

about it in the previous one but for i guess about a week week and a half um ever since tim bontemp's

reported that the sixers refused or declined to answer whether or not

all of their players could travel to Toronto.

Which meant somebody was on Vaxon.

We got the answer of who it was.
