| 0:14.0 | So the Philadelphia 76ers, folks, they still haven't landed a new coach yet. |
| 0:19.3 | And they probably won't for the next week at least. |
| 0:21.6 | Quick sidebar. |
| 0:22.6 | Why isn't anyone giving any accountability to Darryor Mory? |
| 0:26.2 | What has Dary really ever done in his life? |
| 0:30.1 | What has he accomplished? |
| 0:31.6 | This man's making 10 Milly a year and is getting to the Sixers to the exact same spot that they were in before they hired |
