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.

The Sixers just dropped an inexcusable 114–105 loss to a Pistons team missing its entire starting lineup — and DJSportZone & Jav Harris are here to break it all down. From Tyrese Maxey’s heavy minutes to VJ Edgecombe’s struggles, turnover issues from Quentin Grimes, and the rise of Dominick Barlow, the guys dive into what’s really going on with this roster.

They also hit on Joel Embiid’s new knee concerns, Paul George’s looming return, the Sixers’ league-worst third-quarter point differential, and the bigger question: Is the championship window closing faster than fans want to admit?

Plus, league-wide reactions to the firing of Mavs GM Nico Harrison after the Luka/AD disaster, Willie Green’s exit in New Orleans, and a preview of Sixers–Clippers.

Check out DJFilmSpeak, a new series of long-form interviews with actors, creators, and storytellers—the first episode, featuring voice actress Megan Fahlenbock, drops Saturday.

In the debut episode of Second Round Syndrome, DJSportsZone and Jav Harris break down an early-season revelation: the Philadelphia 76ers are must-watch basketball. Fresh off a 130–120 win over the Toronto Raptors, the guys unpack Tyrese Maxey’s MVP-level explosion, Trendon Watford’s first career triple-double, and why this year’s roster finally has the depth, youth, and identity the franchise has been missing.

They get into everything:

• Maxey’s superstar jump (33 PPG, elite efficiency, real MVP buzz)
• VJ Edgecombe’s electric Rookie of the Year campaign
• Embiid’s evolving role and the team’s rebounding/third-quarter issues
• Nick Nurse’s questionable late-game play calls

Then it’s a tour around the NBA: Detroit’s hot start, Boston’s predictable early struggle, Chicago’s surprising surge, and the absolute chaos in Dallas — from the Luka-for-AD disaster to the mishandling of Cooper Flagg. Plus: where Ja Morant makes the most sense if Memphis decides to move on.

Finally, the hosts recap a nostalgia-soaked night at the arena featuring classic jerseys, Hip-Hop the mascot’s return, and a full-blown halftime popcorn fiasco you won’t believe.

A packed first episode that sets the tone for the season: honest, unfiltered, and full of hoops energy.
