Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

On some level, winning only nine games this season would be appropriate. If you're going to be bad, you might as well be all-time bad. On another level, giving people one last chance to take shots at the team is something we'd probably all like to avoid. We discuss the final five games, the loss to the Pacers, Villanova's big win, Buddy Hield's disappearing act and place in the draft, Sam Hinkie s...

It's sort of perfect that the scandal (?) involving D'Angelo Russell, also involves Swaggy P. This has Sixers written all over it. We discuss the always-was-going-to-happen Okafor for Russell trade, the recent reports about Sam Hinkie's future with the team, the odds the Sixers win again this season, Nerlens Noel's sadness, and basically an hour of Elton Brand and Carl Landry talk.

Mike is celebrating his anniversary with the wonderful Alyssa, and driving up to the Bay Area to watch the Sixers play the Warriors. Spike is suffering from the worst allergy attack in the history of allergies. We will do a full podcast this week. While you wait, here is the Sam Hinkie interview we did in October of 2013, that many new Ricky listeners have never heard. It's funny to hear what we t...

A pretty big week for The Process, I think we'd all agree. We talk about the #BusTheProcess trip and reaction, the Ricky basketball game at the Center, Max Rappaport's deep dive on the Trusters in Complex Mag, Kevin Durant's inevitable signing with the Sixers, Brett Brown on the Zach Lowe podcast, Mike's big board, Joel Embiid back in Qatar, TJ vs. Ish, and if the Sixers will win again this season...

The Sixers won a game! Unfortunately it may have come at a high cost, as we give an update on Robert Covington's injury. We discuss the big win, the loss of Jahlil Okafor for the rest of the season, the very Process article from Tom Haberstroh, and tie up some odds and ends! The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is always brought to you by LL Pavorsky Jewelers. 

Deadspin said we have Stockholm Syndrome, Max Rappaport got like a thousand retweets, we confused other fans and most of the beat writers, and a bunch of Process Trusters refused to chant "Let's Go Sixers" on the big screen, to the confusion of one Christian Crosby. It was a successful RTRS Night at The Center. We wrap up the evening's highlights, talk about the (probably fake) Dennis Schroeder tr...

The Sixers made a franchise-altering trade at the deadline once again, acquiring Joel Anthony and a second round pick. We discuss the trades, and non-trade of Jahlil Okafor, announce the 2016 Lottery Party location, and talking about how you actually get to the moon.

The trade deadline is Thursday! We discuss possibilities, Jerry Colangelo's weekly mean comments about Sam Hinkie, and a wrap-up of the NBA All-Star Weekend.

The Sixers maybe inquired about trading for Blake Griffin! Maybe not! But let's talk about that. Also Jerry Colangelo's final say, and a bunch of other stuff.

It's been a couple of weeks. We're sorry! We're back! This episode features a quick wrap-up in the week(s) in Sixers, mid-season awards, and a celebration and discussion of Mr. Joel Embiid. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is always brought to you by LL Pavorsky Jewelers. 

Sam Hinkie said that the Sixers may grow their orchard this Summer. Jerry Colangelo doesn't know Dario Saric's name. We made a Joel Embiid t-shirt. The Sixers almost beat the Bulls. It's been a week in Sixers, we talk about it. 

What a week in Sixers! They signed Elton Brand, may add Shane Battier, won a game against the Timberwolves, and got crushed against the Hawks. Spike watched a college basketball game, and Mike loves Brandon Ingram. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez Podcast is brought to you by LL Pavorsky Jewelers. 

The Sixers got crushed by the Clippers, and Jahlil Okafor's dad and Kendall Marshall dad went nuts. We discuss the Sixers dads going nuts, the win over the Kings, Ish Smith's role, and what's wrong with Robert Covington.

The Sixers got Ish Smith, Mike D'Antoni, and a win. We talk about the trade, the win, the Okafor War, the MCW trade (again) and the release of Spike's favorite Process-Era Sixer, Tony Wroten.

How many times have we asked this question in the last three years? "Are they too bad?" How many times is too many times to ask that question? We talk about the state of The Process, the D'Antoni hiring, the state of the team, the return of Kendall Marshall and Tony Wroten, the development of Jahlil Okafor, and which guards should stay or go.

So much has changed for the Sixers in the last week. They hired Jerry Colangelo, extended Brett Brown, Sam Hinkie was on the way out, now he's here for the long haul, Kendall Marshall returned to save the day, the team is maybe hiring Mike D'Antoni , and now Woj is getting all the Sixers scoops . The Sixers are the most interesting terrible team in sports history. We discuss all of this, plus the...

Nobody saw this one coming. Nobody. We do a late night, bonus Ricky to sort through our feelings. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is brought to you by LL Pavorsky Jewelers. 

What a strange week for the Sixers. They become the focal point of the basketball world for one night as Kobe Bryant returns, they get their first win, another video is released of Jahlil Okafor fighting, Sam Hinkie isn't talking (who would have guessed!), Tony Wroten returns, the Sixers blow another close game, and the pitchforks are out. Just how we like it! We get into all of those things, the...

The Sixers are -0-17... again. They're clearly playing better, but is it enough? Of course we discuss Jahlil's Okafor's (two) fights, Brett Brown's late game struggles, the resurrection of Robert Covington, and if there's ever been a group of fans more eager to see Tony Wroten and Kendall Marshall. The RTRS Podcast is brought to you by LL Pavorsky Jewelers. 

The Sixers got to 0-12 with a bang, with a listless, poor effort against the Indiana Pacers. We've been here before, but is it worse this time? We discuss the trusting of the process, the sold out Phans Of Philly bus trip to Brooklyn, whether Brown or Hinkie could have done anything differently, and a Sixers fan who wants a secret tattoo. The RTRS Bus Trip to Brooklyn is SOLD OUT. Two buses, and a...

  Remember last year right around this time? We do! Boy, this feels familiar. We talk about when the Sixers might win, and how much it matters that they haven't, the discussion of vets vs. Christian Woods, Okafor's struggles, some amazing listener emails, some love letters to Nerlens, Stauskas' three-point shot, and Rodney Carney on the Sevens. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is brought to you by LL P...

Three losses, but three good losses! This is "The Process." We talk about the growth of Nerlens, the TJ McConnell revelation, whether or not Hollis Thompson is good, some normal Okafor talk, and would we trade for Derrick Rose. The RTRS Podcast is presented by LL Pavorsky Jewelers.

Hey, Jahlil Okafor looked great! But they can't score any points! But Nerlens looks like he's on another level! But can Brett Brown coach offense?! But Sauce Castillo hit a three and the crowd went nuts! There were some mixed results in the first week of the 2015-16 Sixers, and we break it all down as we saw it. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is proudly brought to you by LL Pavorsky Jewelers. 

WE MADE IT! We're through another Sixersy off-season, and are fired up for another Sixersy actual-season. We do predictions, over-unders, briefly discuss the stupid Sports Illustrated article, and much, much more. Go on the RTRS Bus Trip!  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez Podcast is proudly brought to you by LL Pavorsky Jewelers. 

Nik Stauskas lived up to his Twitter word! Sauce became the first active Sixers to appear on the Ricky, and what an appearance it was. The charming Stauskas talked about The Process (TM), Brett Brown, the most surprising Sixer, his amazing nickname, slapping the hardwood and willingly Jigsawed. Thanks Nik!
