The Philadelphia 76ers' record this 2024-2025 NBA season is disappointing—especially now that they have a 9-game losing streak and they are currently seated at the 12th spot of the Eastern Conference.
Because of Philadelphia 76ers' poor performance, Paul George, one of the 76ers' main players, stated that he will be on a "podcast hiatus" to focus on the NBA Playoffs (should they miraculously be included in the play-in). (via X/@LakeShowYo)

What's happening at Philadelphia 76ers?
After taking the loss against the New York Knicks with a 110-105 score, the Philadelphia 76ers can't seem to find their rhythm as a team to play well, especially during crucial games. During their loss against the New York Knicks, Paul George stayed true to his word—he fought hard and scored hard against the Knicks, dishing out 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists—not bad for someone who does a podcast on a daily!
Now that Paul George is keen on winning for his team, the Philadelphia 76ers, it's commendable that he took accountability with his actions by being better next time and by facing problems head on. Just like an old saying goes, it takes guts to take responsibility, especially if you're one of the main players on your team.
