We're 42 games through a Sixers season that is better than last year, but how good is it and can it be? We take stock in the team at the midway point, what we can expect, and what they should do at the trade deadline. Then we discuss the loss to the Suns and if it's ok to sleep with a second cousin if you live in Iceland.

The Sixers dropped two to the Cavs, we talk about Embiid looking great on offense but causing some issues on defense, Maxey's tough games and where the Sixers sit in the Eastern Conference at the moment. Then we meet the newest member of Team Ricky, writer and data scientist Beckett Sanderson who writes the column Enter Statman. We talk to Beckett about his day job as a college basketball data guy, his thoughts on the current Sixers, what he thinks of Jared McCain, and whether he thinks a tank would beat one billion babies. We also make Beckett decide on some of the Field of 64 Jigsaws.

The Sixers split against the Raptors and things are looking up. Embiid is dunking and playing great, but for how long will it last? Then we get into the Eagles losing, Lowry’s special send off in Toronto, and a Jacksonville reporter complimenting the head coach after a loss.

The Sixers are 6-1 in the last seven games Joel Embiid has played, and they're two games out of the three seed. Could it all be happening this year? We talk about the win in Orlando and how everything is settling into place. Then we discuss a Joel Embiid trade scenario, re-address the airplane seat recline debate, and explore the likelihood of a Maxey MVP.

The Sixers properly whipped up on the Wizards, and we talk about Tyrese Maxey's shoot first attitude, Paul George's silky smooth shot, and the difference between loose and quick Joel Embiid and crunchtime Embiid. Then we introduce the newest member of Team Ricky, Beckett Sanderson, a data scientist that will write a weekly column called Enter Statman. Finally, we discuss a new entry in the plane seat reclining debate.

The Sixers won in Madison Square Garden behind impressive games from VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey. We talk about their performances, and the team with Embiid and Paul George rounding into form. We then discuss if the Sixers will make a move with their available draft picks to improve this year's team, restart the reclining seat conversation and answer some relationship advice questions about wedding rings and book clubs.

The Sixers rallied for a win in Memphis over the Grizzlies in a signature VJ Edgecombe performance. Embiid looked the most spry he has in years in the team's first win with Maxey, Embiid and Paul George all active. Then we relive the Lottery Party moment at Franklin Music Hall when we got the #3 pick, and put the APB out for a Ricky listener on an Amtrak train who stole a seat. Happy 2026, we love you.
