April 03, 2024 09:00 - 30 minutesJOEL HANS EMBIID HAS RETURNED TO SAVE THE SIXERS SEASON & I COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT IT. I chat all things Embiid, his return in a win against the OKC Thunder, Kelly Oubre Jr showing up big time, the odds of the Sixers moving into 7th for a possible matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks, Maxey, Lowry, Melton, Buddy & more on the Sixers side.

March 28, 2024 09:00 - 36 minutesKelly Oubre Jr. cements himself in Philadelphia sports history with one of the single greatest postgame rants towards the refs that we've ever seen. I chat about the current state of the Sixers while they await the return of the MVP, an outlook of the rest of the regular season, Draymond Green making Steph Curry cry (literally), the Caitlin Clark hate solidifies her GOAT status, sports betting and gambling has already taken a wrong turn (SHOCKER), I make my Pat McAfee Show debut, people conti...

That's Ball Folks! Episode 6: Tobias Harris
February 28, 2024 10:30 - 27 minutesI don't want to do it, but we have to... We finally dive into the nightmare that currently is Tobias Harris.

Out of Site: Embiid Out (for real this time) ... There goes the Season
February 02, 2024 21:22 - 40 minutesThere's the calendar new year. There's the lunar new year. ... and there's the new year that happens every year in Philadelphia 76ers land. It is the day where we ultimately come to hear the news that Joel Embiid will be sidelined with a serious injury that will cause him to miss multiple weeks/months of an NBA season. This time, after seemingly forcing himself to play in the game against the Golden State Warriors, Embiid has now been diagnosed with a meniscus injury. At the time of this reco...
That's Ball Folks! Episode 4: EMBIID DROPS 70
January 23, 2024 10:00 - 25 minutesTHERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO ACCURATELY DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL ABOUT WHAT WE WITNESSED. Joel Hans Embiid. 70 piece. History. Simply amazing. I dive deep into the single greatest offensive performance that I've ever seen, how it stacks up historically, what it means for Embiid's 2024 MVP case & marvel some more on the performance. I also talk KAT, Wemby, why it's more than ok to appreciate greatness even though it's January, this weekends round 2 matchup with Jokic & so m...
Out of Site: Embiid Bests the Joker, Siakim Trade Limits Sixers Options
January 18, 2024 07:00 - 40 minutesOn today's episode of the Out of Site Podcast, Adio Royster has to eat a little bit of crow as the Philadelphia 76ers defeat Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets 126-121 in South Philadelphia this past Tuesday. (For context, Adio continues to state that Jokic is the best center in the NBA followed closely - his words - by Joel Embiid). Embiid played well. Tyrese Maxey threw in another excellent night in close to 43 minutes played, and stop us when you've heard this: "Tobias Harris has been loo...
That's Ball Folks! Episode 3: Embiid Outduels Jokic
January 17, 2024 10:00 - 25 minutesJOEL EMBIID IS THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER ON THE PLANET. PERIOD. Joel Embiid makes his return to action with back-to-back 40 pieces in wins against the Rockets and Nuggets & I just can't get enough of it. The timing of Embiid's return could not have possibly been better, with the Birds crushing our hearts this weekend, but we aren't going to talk about that... I discuss Embiid's dominance, his now 6-2 overall record against Jokic, why NBA players have nothing but amazing things to say about J...
Out of Site: Sixers (once again!) Fumble Embiid's Health + Trade Possibilities
January 12, 2024 07:00 - 47 minutesThe happiness of last week's podcast is all but gone now that Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid has missed the last few games with a knee injury. Adio Royster and David Early express frustrations with the Sixers coaching staff (seemingly) continuing to mismanage Embiid's minutes based on his health. After an awkward landing against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Embiid continued to play and now hasn't been in the lineup since the January 5th game against the New York Knicks. He will miss to...
That's Ball Folks! Episode 2: Injuries Suck
January 09, 2024 10:00 - 35 minutesThe injury bug bit league wide, bit hard & it couldn't suck worse... Joel Embiid's knee injury, Tyrese Haliburton's hammy, Ja Morant's shoulder... Brutal. I dive into what Joel Embiid's MVP bid looks like this season with the new games played threshold, what the NBA was possibly thinking with their back-to-backs scheduled this season, what's up with the Bucks, Giannis' outrageous postgame quotes, Wemby the one man highlight, Jokic' game winner & insane stat line against Detroit, the nightmare...
Out of Site: We Back! ... and the Sixers are Fun!
January 04, 2024 07:00 - 52 minutesIt has been a long time since your hosts Adio Royster and David Early got together to talk Philadelphia 76ers. Maybe they just haven't been able to formulate the takes and stunning commentary you would expect (given the off-season) because they've had to flip the script. Subtract James Harden. Subtract Doc Rivers. Insert Nick Nurse. Insert Tyrese Maxey. After all of that, your Sixers are 23-10 after 33 games of the 2023-2024 season, and there is a lot to be happy about. The team looks clean a...

Out of Site: He (Harden) said, He (Morey) said ... or Didn't Say
August 22, 2023 06:00 - 30 minutesThe Philadelphia 76ers vs. James Harden continues! Per reporting from Tom West, the NBA launched an investigation into what led Harden to call Daryl Morey a liar while entertaining a group of fans in China. There has been much speculation as far as what kind of "deal" Harden and Morey made last off-season that would lead Harden to say such things about his BFF. It could also be as simple as Harden being upset that Morey did not trade him to his only choice of destination -- the Los Angeles Cl...
Out of Site: Sixers Can't Have a Normal Off-Season, Can They?
August 15, 2023 07:00 - 45 minutesIt is never normal when it is an off-season for the Philadelphia 76ers. This year's disgruntled Sixers player is James Harden -- who was traded for another disgruntled Sixers player in Ben Simmons. At an event in China, Harden spoke to a group of people where he called General Manager Daryl Morey a "liar" and that he will "never play for an organization that he is a part of." What happened to a relationship that -- up until this past Saturday -- was the talk of the league when Harden was in H...

August 01, 2023 06:00 - 40 minutesAdio Royster and David Early go on vacation for two weeks, and all hell breaks loose in the Philadelphia 76ers landscape. Fans are down on the Sixers off-season. A recent SB Nation Reacts poll started by Jackson Frank of Liberty Ballers suggests that fans are grading this off-season kind of harshly. (The 51% percent of you that graded "D" or "F", anyways.) A good amount are grading as incompletes depending on the trade status of Damian Lillard or James Harden. Speaking of which, there have be...

Out of Site: Harden Back?.. and other NBA Free Agency and Trade Rumblings
July 06, 2023 04:20 - 41 minutesNBA free agency began last week, and the Philadelphia 76ers were all over the wires. After James Harden opted in to his $36 million player option, he requested to be traded, and that would have been the first domino in the Sixers off-season -- or so we thought. One Fourth of July white party with Michael Rubin later, and Harden may have mended some fences (with players, not necessarily front office members -- as reported by ESPN's Ramona Shelbourne). Is it a higher possibility that Harden ret...

Out of Site: Are the Sixers Misusing Tobias Harris, Assassin for Hire?
June 27, 2023 04:15 - 51 minutesLike many proud fathers out there, Torrel Harris (father of Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris) simply wants to see his son succeed. (This is also because he gets a nice chunk of commission as Tobias's agent.) Nevertheless, Torrel Harris has been speaking out in favor of his son getting a better role in the Sixers offense. He calls Tobias an "assassin", and statistics show that ... sometimes. It's just not as consistent as the team needs it to be. Part of it could be the role Tobias is ...

Out of Site - Harden Back because of a Beal Deal to Phoenix?
June 21, 2023 04:15 - 44 minutesThe first off-season domino has fallen. The Washington Wizards traded All-Star guard/forward Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, several second round picks and pick swaps. Adio Royster and David Early begin the podcast with the ripple effects of that trade and how they relate to the Philadelphia 76ers. With Beal off the market, is it more likely to see James Harden return to the Sixers after flirting with the Houston Rockets for weeks and months? If there is a Tobi...

Out of Site - Sixers Lose Cassell to an Enemy ... VanVleet Rumors?
June 06, 2023 13:23 - 39 minutesThe Philadelphia 76ers coaching staff is getting poached once again. This time it's by a division rival -- the Boston Celtics. Shams Charania reported that the Celtics will be getting Sixers assistant coach Sam Cassell to help Joe Mazzoula on his sidelines for next season.

Out of Site - Helloooooo, Nurse! ... and an NBA Finals Preview
May 31, 2023 11:00 - 42 minutesThe Philadelphia 76ers continue the trend of hiring head coaches with names based in the medical field. First, they tried a "Doc" with Glenn Rivers, and now, the next head coach is a Nurse. (That is confirmed. Last week, it was more of a question, but it's official, now.) Nick Nurse is the new head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers. Nurse brings his title from the Toronto Raptors -- something that brings Sixers PTSD to the surface. He is an alleged X's and O's guy, and more importantly, he is P...

May 23, 2023 09:00 - 36 minutesThe Philadelphia 76ers have begun one of two major decisions for this off-season: the search for a new head coach.

May 15, 2023 21:33 - 47 minutesHere we are, again, Philadelphia 76ers fans. Another year. Another failed playoff run. We were told this team was different. We were told this team was ready for the moment. The Sixers were going to do all of it "for the love of Philly", but once again, for the fourth time in six appearances, the Sixers lost in the second round to the Boston Celtics. Adio Royster and David Early go over what went wrong in the series finale on Sunday night. There is a lot of blame to go around, so who gets it?...
