TABLE TALK: Why Are The Sixers Terrible In The 3rd Quarter?

TABLE TALK: Why Are The Sixers Terrible In The 3rd Quarter?

Author: The Philadelphia Sports Table January 27, 2026 Duration: 25:33
This week on TABLE TALK, Jeff sat down with Harrison Grimm from LibertyBallers.com at SB Nation to discuss the current Philadelphia 76ers season and why the heck this team is so terrible consistently in the 3rd quarter. Fans are at a point of being enraged by it. Plus, the guys dove into some other pressing Sixers storylines as we close up January and head into February. A fantastic discussion this week!
Topics Harrison and Jeff discussed:
- Quentin Grimes has been playing terrible basketball. What does this mean for him and the team moving forward?
- How can and should Nick Nurse address the 3rd quarter issues and consistent problems?
- We have to admit it - Joel Embiid is looking a lot like his old self, which is exciting!
- The minutes Tyrese Maxey is playing and his need for some bench time.
All of this and much more this week on Table Talk!
