The Philadelphia 76ers are struggling to climb into playoff contention and star Paul George, in an effort to focus on finishing the season strong, has announced he is putting his podcast on hiatus. Doug thinks blaming George’s podcast for the Sixers struggle is simply lazy journalism considering all the other issues they’ve faced this year.
Doug Gottlieb: “The only thing they say is, ‘Sixers aren’t winning. Paul George needs to stop his podcast.’ Or...Joel Embiid’s knee is hurt. When you take out arguably the best, or second or third best player in the NBA and he’s in and out of the lineup, and you’re constantly putting together a new team, and Paul George is not who he used to be (nobody is when they get to their mid-30’s), this is what happens, (but) we make it about a podcast.”
