In Episode 3 of Second Round Syndrome, DJSportsZone and Jav Harris break down a chaotic week of Sixers basketball. At 9–6, the Sixers pulled off a clutch win over the Clippers and an overtime thriller against Milwaukee — highlighted by Tyrese Maxey’s absurd 54-point explosion — but also collapsed late against Toronto.

The guys dive into the growing concern around Maxey’s workload. He’s playing a league-leading 40.7 minutes per game and sits second in scoring at 33.4 PPG, while rookie VJ Edgecombe isn’t far behind in minutes. With Joel Embiid still out due to right-knee soreness and no clear timeline, the question becomes: how much can they realistically carry?

They tackle all the major storylines:

• Embiid’s ongoing knee issue and fan debate over the team’s transparency
• Andre Drummond stepping into a larger role
• Paul George’s impact on the defensive end
• The Sixers’ never-ending third-quarter problems

Plus, a big NBA roundup: Chris Paul officially announcing his retirement, James Harden dropping a Clippers-record 55 points, and whether the Hornets should consider moving LaMelo Ball with rookie Kon Knueppel stealing the spotlight.

A packed episode of Sixers reactions, honest debates, and league-wide chaos — exactly what Second Round Syndrome is built for.
