The Sixers season does not have fans as excited as they would usually be. After years of second-round exits, and all of the James Harden drama, fans have lower expectations than ever. But the team has a chance to step up and surprise fans if guys like Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Maxey step up. And maybe something will finally shake loose with Harden, or Harden will grow up and decide to just play and not cause any more drama.

7 Things We Learned When Nick Nurse Joined The Best Show Ever

The Sixers have a new head coach. After yet another 2nd round exit, they decided it was time for a coaching change. Doc Rivers was fired, and the head coach search began. Although Daryl Morey told us it would be a long search, it turns out that was not true. Nick Nurse was the first guy the Sixers interviewed. They brought in a couple more guys for an interview, but they went back to the fire interview. A few days back it was reported the Sixers were hiring Nick Norse to be their next coach. And today they introduced Nick Nurse as the next head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers.

He spoke to the media for the first time today, giving Sixers fans their first taste of what he is like. but shortly after that, he also joined us on the Best Show Ever. He talked about a range of things. His plans to get more out of Embiid. What type of defense he would run? What he thinks Tyrese Maxey's ceiling could be. Why he chose to coach the Sixers when he reportedly had other offers? What type of person Sixers fans will be seeing in him as the coach And much more.

Here is some of what Nick Nurse had to say when he joined us earlier today:
