Rich and I dive into the Sixers' Game 7 loss to the Atlanta Hawks

talk about where the series went off track,

the mistakes made by Doc Rivers,

the hiding act by Ben Simmons,

and what all of that means for the short and long-term future of the team.

All right. welcome, everybody.

This is Derek Bodner, joined by Rich Hoffman on the Sixers Beat, a part of the Athletics Podcast Network.

Your 49 win Philadelphia 76ers, your top seed in the Eastern Conference, their season is over.

As everyone listening to this has already figured out.

I'm not breaking any news.

Lost in seven to the Atlanta Hawks.

How you doing, Rich?

I'm fine.

I understand a lot of our listeners probably are not.

That was one of the worst losses ever.

Yeah. I'm really struggling to put it into context, honestly.

Yeah.

You know, in terms of NBA, in terms of Philadelphia, it's way up there in any way you slice it.

I mean, look, we went in saying if Joel and Bede was healthy, they should win that in five, maybe six, if Trey Young gets hot.

Juelan Bede, he wasn't healthy, obviously, but he played like he was healthy for the most part.

Trey Young didn't have a great individual scoring series.

He obviously did a lot for his teammates.
