road game of the regular season

2:47

back to back when on Saturday

2:49

and Sunday, Memphis and San Antonio

2:51

and more more drama in this

2:54

one. Ah, it's a nice with

2:56

the Philadelphia Seventy Sixers. They have

2:58

now won five games in a

3:01

row, three games remaining on the

3:03

campaign, all three at home. To

3:05

close out the. Regular Season Two

3:07

they against Detroit, Friday against Orlando and

3:09

Sunday the season finale against the Brooklyn

3:12

Nets Buckeye. Welcome back Ma'am We were

3:14

sitting there we were. You know that

3:16

I'm be part will get into all

3:18

of that And then this game turned

3:21

into something. The storyline got much better.

3:23

Of course the terrorists maxi part was

3:25

already there tell you re playing some

3:27

good minutes without either that or if

3:30

you know right I just happened way

3:32

I bet is only nine it's er

3:34

it's okay now let us And then.

3:36

You get the Ricky part that helps

3:38

out yet others that play along in

3:40

this when to really do some really

3:43

good things in this one to two

3:45

to take this when steal this when

3:47

the thriller on the road your thoughts

3:49

Overall just the as all this has

3:51

now played out mark first law let

3:53

me channel friend of the show Iraqi

3:55

councils look at the camera say for

3:57

all the doubters a non believers I

3:59

thought. You fucking crying in the middle of

4:01

the game. Oh, what is the point you're holding

4:03

this game on? The

4:06

point is against my first ever win anyway. No,

4:08

wait a minute. We both said the same thing at various

4:10

points throughout the day. I did

4:12

not. OK. Go look at the

4:14

Discord. I've laid out the clear. All our diehards

4:16

know. I was saying, hey, I understand why they

4:18

played them and the one that they want

4:21

to guarantee you win, and then you let the chips fall where

4:23

they may. As Nick Nurse has said many

4:25

times, pitch your ace and then pray

4:27

for rain. That's what they did. And the

4:29

rain came in the form of 52 points, and

4:32

Ricky counseled the fourth, and KJ Martin, and all

4:34

kinds of other stuff. Look, here's what I would

4:36

say. I think I

4:38

actually will go somewhere I wasn't expecting coming into

4:40

this. It's like the forming of my head because

4:42

my head is still soup after

4:44

last night when I was gone. I

4:47

think that end of that game showed the

4:49

difference between having Nick Nurse and having Doc

4:51

Rivers. Oh my god, yes. Those two out

4:54

of bounds plays Doc never comes up with.

4:56

Number one, gives Ricky a

4:59

chance to play and start of the fourth quarter. They

5:01

need something different. They need a change of energy. It's

5:03

second half of a back to back. Ricky

5:05

plays well. Nick rolls

5:08

with the hot hand. That's number one. Number two,

5:11

the play that one of the plays that Derek's

5:13

alluding to, that final out of bounds play, I

5:16

said to these guys as it's happening or after

5:18

it happened, it looked to

5:20

me like a variation of what Boston has

5:22

run with Jason Tatum quite a bit. Beat

5:25

the Sixers on a buzzer beater in a

5:27

national TV game last year using the

5:29

same play, except there

5:32

is a wrinkle in it. And Tyreese fakes

5:34

as if he's going to collect the ball,

5:36

disburs bite. And Nick

5:38

Batum throws just an absolutely

5:40

beautiful, beautiful right in the

5:42

basket past the Tyreese,

5:44

gets in the bucket there. To Derek's

5:47

point also, in overtime, they

5:49

had a great look, great look with

5:51

0.8 on the clock. You're

5:54

expecting, hey, someone's going to get the

5:56

ball strong side. Batum throws a

5:58

great one over the top, gets it. Kelly is. and

6:00

then a great look in the corner. And so

6:02

all these little things, then you ride, you continue

6:04

to ride with Ricky. You play KJ. I

6:07

don't know if Moe was at his limit with

6:09

him being sick, but when Paul Reed fouls out,

6:12

Nurse decides, okay, we're just gonna play

6:14

small. If Wembley beats

6:17

us somehow, then fine. They

6:19

went with the auto double strategy, which

6:21

I didn't love, but defensively

6:23

ends up working out. KJ

6:25

makes a ton of plays on the stretch. Ricky

6:27

has one of the greatest passes I've ever seen

6:29

in my life from a guy who is

6:32

out of the rotation most of the time. So

6:35

I just think there are so many little things

6:37

that just micro decisions

6:39

that Nurse made that

6:41

help add up to this win here. Obviously,

6:44

the biggest driving force

6:46

is Tyrese Maxey. And

6:48

I should, we should probably lead with that. But

6:51

I don't think they win that game with

6:54

Doc Rivers or a worse coach than Nurse.

6:56

I'll say that. Yeah, and specifically

6:58

with Doc Rivers, because he was the one here last year,

7:00

and he was the one who, the big reason why they

7:02

didn't win in the previous three playoff

7:04

runs. But that is a level of creativity that

7:07

Doc just didn't have. And

7:10

that is one of the things that we talked about when

7:12

they hired Nick Nurse. This was one of the games where

7:14

it really exemplified why he has built up the reputation that

7:16

he has built up and why we spent a decent chunk

7:18

of the summer saying, like, yeah, I know that he's gotten

7:20

a lot of credit and a lot of attention for some

7:22

of his defense and his defense scheme, but he came to

7:25

Toronto to really modernize their offense. And

7:28

you saw that at points here tonight. Those

7:30

two plays were absolutely incredible. That was

7:32

a very clean look that

7:34

Kelly got. Well, clean giving you had .8

7:36

seconds flat on the clock. And they were

7:38

not, like, San Antonio was not expecting that

7:40

at all. That was a really, really well-designed

7:42

play. And it's funny because

7:44

as you guys both start with that, this

7:48

is why you play the game, because we're

7:50

sitting there and things look really bleak. That

7:52

second quarter by the San Antonio Spurs flipped

7:55

the game on his head. We thought the game was

7:57

pretty much, you know, it was a wrap as things

7:59

were going on. plan out the whole conversation

8:01

with the dual and be part of

8:03

things is going to really have a

8:05

lot of what I was sure was going to

8:07

be tonight. But as it goes along, we were

8:10

discussing how Nick nurse did not

8:12

do a good job through the first

8:14

three quarters. Well, the first quarter is fine. But

8:16

from second to third and somewhat there in

8:19

that fourth, how Nick nurse had not

8:21

done his best job coaching this game was

8:23

jeffed out and yes, you need it someone

8:25

has a ball handling with no Kyle Lowry

8:28

available tonight. Sure, you go with the point

8:30

guard to give him some minutes there. But

8:32

then you also saw spots where the energy

8:34

was just so high for the San Antonio

8:36

Spurs and it was lacking on the Sixers

8:38

side insert Ricky in the

8:40

in the latter part of that fourth quarter

8:43

and then certainly keeping him in there and sticking

8:45

with the hot hand if you will in that

8:47

overtime in the double overtime session to help close

8:49

things out. Doc Rivers probably

8:52

wouldn't do that. Of course, we can look

8:54

to Doc Rivers now with what happened tonight

8:56

against the New York Knicks where they were

8:58

leading the live in a row by double

9:00

digits. Yes, and they are now 500 without

9:02

Docker versus team blowing a double digit lead

9:04

and lose. That's never happened. So so as

9:07

much as we probably would have gone on

9:09

Nick nurse had they lost this game in

9:11

regulation and placed a lot of

9:13

blame on him with an opportunity again

9:15

to maybe run the table and potentially

9:18

win eight games in a row. Forget

9:20

about the MB parses more of what

9:22

you had going on in this game initially

9:24

starting off. Well looking like you are going

9:26

to maybe not blow this team

9:28

out but win a close game on the

9:30

road with Maxi and Uber playing well getting

9:32

some some support from the others and

9:35

then it flipped again then it

9:37

flipped again and that's why you have

9:39

these extra minutes until the game is

9:41

actually over to really talk about what

9:43

happened in it and that's where you

9:45

give Nick nurse credit by going small

9:47

Paul Reeve fouls out he battled he

9:50

fouled out mobile. Maybe the illness

9:52

is the reason why he was left

9:54

off the floor during that time but

9:56

going with K. J. Martin and

9:58

and even Ricky county. And Nick

10:00

Batum, of course playing those front court minutes

10:02

to walk away with this victory So hats

10:05

off to Nick Ners for how he adjusted

10:07

in this game that that

10:09

he needed to adjust and win this one

10:11

Yeah, but I so let's not bury the

10:13

lead here. I reason I scored And

10:18

I think to your point of

10:20

honor various stages in this game where you

10:23

and I were like this just

10:25

feels like it's over that the

10:27

leads gonna balloon that it's gonna get away

10:30

from them and the

10:32

human run stopper Tyreese maxi comes

10:34

in and keeps

10:36

them in the game frankly and even

10:39

before I like he really came on at

10:41

the end of this game and dragged them

10:43

to overtime

10:45

I would say But

10:47

before that like he ends up with 12 free

10:49

throws makes all 12 of them you and I

10:51

thought Throughout that game. He got

10:54

a bad whistle for a lot of it

10:56

There are times when he's driving into women

10:58

Yama women Yama slapping down and look when

11:00

he's a great defender Without getting

11:02

the extra help from the officials I thought there

11:04

are at least a couple that were dubious that

11:06

I thought when we could have gotten caught on

11:08

these hours trial Came in overtime, right? Which is

11:10

to challenge that many shots at the rim and

11:12

not gonna fall He is

11:15

capable of defending a ton of shots and

11:17

not found he cuz he can just go straight up and

11:20

This is no knock on when B who we

11:22

can talk about at some point we will what

11:24

an unbelievable player that kid is but Tyreese

11:26

just seemed to have the answer

11:30

Anytime it looked like the Sixers were boxed

11:32

in I thought he showed good recognition deep

11:34

in that game as well when when

11:36

B's legs Got tired instead

11:38

of playing passive and say well I'm just gonna

11:41

shoot threes and I'm afraid to attack him Started

11:44

getting downhill or continued to go downhill

11:46

I should say and made when

11:48

B work because the worst thing you can do When

11:50

it got like that's tired when B's not

11:52

used to playing big minutes. They've had him on

11:54

a minutes restriction most of the year. Played

11:56

43 plus minutes tonight. I Have to imagine. The

12:00

most minutes is playing a game all season and

12:02

probably by quite a bit. And. Tyree says

12:04

he could see him out there slow and

12:06

now where now and. Was. Going

12:08

after him a little bit and space and

12:10

so I I loved. I loved to see

12:13

that that killer instinct from him but you

12:15

can see absolutely everything and the scoring package

12:17

and I write like only makes two threes

12:19

Soviet hit threes in this game at a.

12:22

A reasonable clip. This. Could

12:24

have been like a sixty point games

12:26

but a great example of it's. not

12:28

like the hyper efficient game in terms

12:30

of the shots from the field. But.

12:33

You get there to get to the free

12:35

throw line you play may for others as

12:37

well with only one turn over seven assess.

12:39

That's amazing that in a second half of

12:41

back to back where everyone's legs are heavy

12:44

and you're more prone to turn overs and

12:46

you ever are I just thought. This.

12:48

Has been at an amazing I'd say

12:51

like last week herself retirees certainly Joe

12:53

our coming back help but. It.

12:55

Was all on him tonight. We hear

12:57

a lot of out. While Tyree scampi

12:59

a number wine and babar like during

13:01

this long stretch where dwellers injured, he

13:04

sure looks like a number one out

13:06

there tonight. He I certainly did and

13:08

that's he knows we. We look at

13:10

how as by the way or thirty

13:12

eight minutes. He played twice disease and

13:14

once in November during the play in

13:16

tournaments and last Friday to two weeks

13:19

ago against the next in overtime he

13:21

played thirty eight minutes. Victor: Women, yeah

13:23

media doesn't score the forty again. Sat.

13:25

Down and Branson and in the next but

13:27

the terrorists maxi beasts. It does make me

13:30

go back to when we were at Dick's

13:32

barbecue a couple of bye week and a

13:34

half ago and we were aunt our is

13:36

because he we're sure he was fatigue but

13:38

we also saw some opportunity there with their

13:41

with their game and how it played out

13:43

of how how much he. Didn't.

13:45

Do that in that game and we talked

13:47

about it thereafter with some with a Daves

13:49

fatigues than others are saying he's not a

13:52

number one and we've inquest net ourselves when

13:54

it comes to the record that they had

13:56

during the time in be was out. but

13:58

there are those time. Though. Regard.

14:01

To the opponent member, This is still a

14:03

playoff type situation for the Seventy Sixers as

14:05

they battle proceeding with the Miami Heat and

14:08

the Indiana Pacers. Due. To this

14:10

when now they have a half game up

14:12

in the standings right within a happy I'm

14:14

are even in the last column but they

14:16

are. Yeah right now I had a my

14:18

right now have game up on the Miami

14:20

Heat due to their last this afternoon to

14:22

the Indiana Pacers so they needed listen when

14:24

still. And. They got it from there

14:27

guy to go out there play the amount

14:29

of minutes that he didn't score the amount of

14:31

points get to the free throw line where it

14:33

was. Absolutely. Tell folks I mean c'mon Victim

14:35

women Yom! As big as the is. The.

14:38

As did the number of Black Sea

14:40

at seven the at seven blocks to

14:42

nice all right if seven blocks and

14:44

authored many more sorrow that behind the

14:46

back half of my favorite like that

14:48

was a risk management role in his

14:50

head as flip it around the back

14:53

to devise a Grandma Vince We stepped

14:55

out of bounds on the on the

14:57

in Live with Still Harrys Mexia. Fifty

14:59

two boys. A only me

15:01

to three there. And attack

15:03

the basket a number of thousand. We felt

15:05

like even though he made all twelve is

15:08

free throws, he probably should have had at

15:10

least six more free throws, not six more

15:12

trusted a free throw line. At least six

15:14

more free throws in this game. That would

15:16

put him up to eighteen. And with that.

15:19

Allow that was altered campaign we

15:21

saw him. Reverse Tv and

15:23

go back the other way with the dribble

15:25

because victim women young were there if I

15:27

saw think there were many of us Senator:

15:30

am I right. run in circles, sound the

15:32

same thing You probing you want to get

15:34

in there. you go to Law the basement.

15:36

no never mind me. three sixty. go back

15:38

around and find another way. it's and you're

15:41

running present time of the hot because his

15:43

guys aging things and that's how big he

15:45

was. Book maxi to do that. Seven assists,

15:47

five board, only one turn over and fifty

15:49

three minutes and fifty seven seconds. A nightmare

15:51

as bash or. and air against an event

15:54

that we saw in the second in the

15:56

out to to over town where especially when

15:58

nick between three pointer by the way Where

16:00

they were trying to get the ball out

16:02

of his hands and the other good part I've

16:04

given Nick nurse this to Derek Was when

16:06

he went small he forced Victor women Yama

16:08

now away from the basket So therefore when the

16:11

ball did find his way back to Tyreese maxi

16:13

He didn't hesitate in driving to the basket

16:15

and attacking the room there because women Yama

16:17

wasn't there He had a great block there in

16:19

that second overtime, which was eventually overturned. We

16:21

thought it was a made basket He pinned

16:23

it on the glass crazy But

16:26

it's really good job there by Nick nurse to

16:28

that play you mentioned was just Freaking

16:31

wild because you're just watching in real time. Like

16:33

there's no way you can cover that much ground Screaming

16:48

the bomb bringing a little tyke

16:50

soup in here pretend he's Victor

16:52

women But

16:55

that's what that's what the basket looks

16:58

like But

17:00

Kyle brought it up. He makes so many plays.

17:02

It just should not be possible He started the

17:04

game off making or attempting I think about went

17:06

in and out pretty much a logo three He

17:08

had a one-handed bounce pass and transition off the

17:11

dribble He had had a dunk on Paul Reed where he

17:13

just kind of like unfurled his arms and realized he was

17:15

right by the hoop And should dunk it Okay

17:20

Righty He

17:22

had a casual side step three in the

17:25

corner like freaking wild that a guy that

17:27

large it was Really like I can't

17:29

wait to watch that guy develop I'm a little scared

17:31

you better get your winning in now because he's gonna

17:33

dump it's gonna take a little team around him Which

17:35

is good. He's in the woods cuz that guy's gonna

17:37

dominate. I think pretty freaking quickly He

17:39

is really really fun to watch but going back

17:42

to maxi the way he was able to get

17:44

a number of baskets around the rim Around I

17:46

won't say over but around like he had that one

17:48

where he went right to left and use the rim

17:50

to shield himself They had one where he was pretty

17:52

much falling down I don't think I was against wenby

17:54

But he brought it back to his right and was

17:56

like falling down and just so many acrobatic Layups

17:58

that he was able to get to go

18:01

in. He had for a career

18:03

high to happen on a night when he

18:05

only makes two threes that Devon mentioned earlier

18:07

is just wild and it shows how much

18:09

growth he's had creating off the dribble, how

18:11

much growth he's had getting the free throw

18:13

line. He is playing really, really good basketball.

18:15

By the way, we have someone, Shivani checking

18:17

in from Banka. That's a new one for

18:19

the PHY Sixer show.

18:21

I know we have people. I love seeing

18:23

people. You don't have to make

18:26

it up. We don't accept this as a,

18:28

hey, I'm in Antarctica or like just ridiculous

18:30

stuff. But I love seeing like we've had

18:32

people from Nicaragua and Brazil

18:34

and now Bangkok, like all

18:37

around the world tuning in to watch the show.

18:40

We love that. 928 a.m. Monday

18:43

morning in Bangkok right here. Thank you so

18:45

much. We appreciate that. Jack in the chat

18:47

saying that you did your best Kenny impersonation

18:49

there. And I agree. It was a little

18:51

bit like Kenny. We

18:56

want to talk about some of our other

18:58

friends are helping make the show right now.

19:01

First we want to make sure we tell

19:03

you about TrueMark. We've heard some from people

19:05

recently who joined TrueMark Financial Credit Union right

19:07

here in Philly. And it's been eye-opening to

19:10

see the difference between banking at a bank

19:12

compared to being a member of a credit

19:14

union. When you join a credit union like

19:16

TrueMark Financial, you become part owner, which means

19:18

profits come back to you instead of going

19:20

to shareholders. TrueMark Financial has better rates, lower

19:23

fees, a better return on savings and more

19:25

flexible options overall. And of course the same

19:27

digital tools and technology we all want. But

19:30

the best part for me is that TrueMark

19:32

Financial is local. They're headquartered in Fort Washington

19:35

and with 24 branches across the Philly area,

19:37

they are deeply rooted in our community. They

19:40

serve our community and only our community. So

19:42

their investments and programs help our people right

19:44

here at home. Being a member

19:46

of a credit union has so many benefits over being

19:48

a customer at a bank. It's a total no-brainer. Head

19:51

over to truemark.com/PHLY to learn

19:54

more or to find a

19:56

branch near you. That's truemark.com/PHLY.

20:00

by the NCUA. And

20:02

guys I've been telling you about these people

20:04

a lot lately you should get familiar

20:06

because they're in Wawa now. Ollie Pop is

20:09

a new kind of soda with only two to five grams

20:11

of sugar and nine grams of

20:13

fiber per can. I was actually having

20:15

one earlier a watermelon lime that they

20:18

send pretty damn good. I was

20:20

enjoying that quite a bit. Ollie Pop is

20:22

available online and available in almost 30,000 retailers

20:25

nationwide including that most recent launch at

20:27

all Wawa stores. You can scoop a

20:29

classic root beer or strawberry vanilla at

20:31

a Wawa near you. I back both

20:33

of those flavors. I've told you guys

20:35

quite a bit I've been a big

20:37

20:39

to cut down or stop entirely to

20:41

protect my health, protect my teeth that

20:43

you guys all have to see while

20:45

we're on this show. And Ollie Pop

20:47

allows you to get what you want from

20:50

soda without worrying what it's doing to your

20:52

body. Ollie Pop is much much

20:54

lower in sugar than conventional sodas. Their

20:57

vintage cola has just two grams of sugar

20:59

compared to a regular Coca-Cola which has 39

21:02

grams of sugar as these two giggle over here like

21:04

schoolgirls in the middle of an adage. And

21:07

Ollie Pop has plenty of classic

21:09

flavors to lots of variety for

21:11

you guys to try out. Vintage

21:13

cola, classic root beer, orange squeeze,

21:15

classic grape, strawberry vanilla, cream soda,

21:18

and cherry cola are just some of

21:20

the flavors they have available. Use the code

23:01

aswell kind of.com reflecting on what you didn't

23:03

get it has talk about last night yeah,

23:05

won't with this one So I will say

23:07

this like we have a lot of it.

23:10

We boil the down to recently as like

23:12

two hours back to Als. Very good. The

23:14

teens very good with him tonight show. It's

23:16

more than that obviously. Diaries.

23:18

Amazing But so many little contributions from

23:21

the role players and I write like

23:23

it up until he found out. About.

23:26

Power He did a pretty good job defensively

23:28

on when be I have honestly thought he

23:30

was hard done on. And least one or

23:32

two of those foul cause of. Whether. You

23:34

want to? Scuse. Me: Challenge: Those

23:36

are not. That's up for debate,

23:38

but I thought he did a pretty good job. But.

23:41

Tomb some of the most ridiculous entry passes

23:43

I've ever seen when he had to get

23:45

caught in the women. yeah, I'm a duty

23:47

and over time I thought he did a

23:50

pretty damn good job. when he had one.

23:52

he was on an island and he defended

23:54

him in isolation. It a great job. Good

23:56

rotations, good timing things like that. Had a

23:59

couple of months. Three if he had

24:01

hit that three on the steel at

24:03

the unregulated and. I might

24:05

have perished on the house is why would

24:08

you watch any game and I'm not sure

24:10

that I see okay not at all about

24:12

he would have done at least. Yeah Ricky

24:14

Council we talked about I'm a little bit

24:17

already, but the poise that he showed in

24:19

those moments to make smart, timely drop off

24:21

passes he's not running people over and transition.

24:23

The things we're talking about retirees challenging when

24:26

be at that. There were a couple plays

24:28

where he showed absolutely no fear of Victor

24:30

at the at the summit. Had a nice

24:33

reverse layup added have won over him and

24:35

traffic and regulations that was great and someone

24:37

who I feel like I'm hard on I

24:39

want to make sure I give. Him.

24:42

His props as well. Kj. Martin,

24:44

like agent, Martin's been in the rotation to

24:46

some extent, at the expense of Recchi, and

24:48

so I feel like I'd. I. Great

24:50

him versus him and I'm like yeah what

24:52

does he do He's had a couple good

24:54

games and around here and I thought in

24:56

that double overtime he had three or four.

24:58

just monster play is Kelly broke up there

25:00

and even say tell you Bray who will

25:03

get to him at some point. Tell

25:05

You Bribe Broke up a play and then

25:07

Kj hit the floor, digs out a loose

25:10

ball that turns into a bucket. He had

25:12

a big lob and transition was the other

25:14

one that I'm black and or and I

25:16

ended it. Didn't even go with Harrys maxi

25:18

Riga found on In any had a nice

25:21

rotation where Kelly was not cutting a be

25:23

but he was sorta shepherding a driver. it's

25:25

or the rim. Kj got there. And

25:27

offered a strong can test their that turns

25:29

into a stop to go the other way

25:32

when you get play from your role. Guys

25:34

like this. And you have the

25:36

top and guy and your well you have

25:38

an all star entire is Maxi You have

25:40

a chance to win games. Any

25:42

night against any team and south. I don't

25:44

know if we can say that there are

25:47

peaking at the right time like role players

25:49

come and go in terms of their effectiveness,

25:51

but it's been awesome to see them are

25:53

gonna come together as your walls come back

25:56

and it gives you hope that. Maybe.

25:58

There is a deep poses around. With

26:00

anything. And I swear say glad I

26:02

did you. Brought up com Kj Kg hater

26:04

on the the kept the president kelly hear

26:06

how many with him I hate I'm just

26:09

like. A very

26:11

luke warm Mm yeah and I'm the I would

26:13

even really say Michelito anymore I'm just more skeptical

26:15

as suit your anyway my point is I thought

26:17

this was gonna be good. Kelly game read some

26:20

getting because he had his first book in the

26:22

game who's driving and on one be and reason

26:24

he was able to get that lay up on

26:26

when be going to his left is because he

26:28

waited waited waited looked when be off forced when

26:31

be to make a commitment to go. Back to

26:33

I think Paul read or I was wrong

26:35

the basket or and because he was the

26:37

threat of the past because the patients he

26:39

was able to get a bucket and he

26:41

advises against night and to right after at

26:44

our to your point. They had the same

26:46

exact setup any sit down on the drop

26:48

off so it was the very natural reads

26:50

he was making. Propaganda was downplayed two months

26:52

ago were Kelly would just driven harden the

26:54

rim, gotten stuff and had. No chance he's

26:56

making real growth. This is the is in

26:58

Had another five assists game is second. Five

27:01

assists game on the of the past

27:03

two weeks or so he had six

27:05

in his career up until that point

27:08

raises this passing. Turnaround is not just

27:10

lay aside just like were watch. Him now

27:12

and so you're seeing many things you didn't

27:14

see when he was else know he never

27:16

has passed like this before. It's impacting not just

27:18

because he's getting assists and getting frame shots for

27:20

his teammates was getting him better look at

27:22

the basket to or if this is this

27:24

is is maybe the biggest development he could

27:26

make in his career and I are nervous fact

27:28

that he's in a contract year I don't

27:30

have the fact that he the humbled with.

27:33

That contracts. I don't know if Nick nurses just

27:35

the canine whisper. I don't know what's going on,

27:37

but he is playing a completely different style of

27:39

these ever played. Air earlier in

27:41

his career an early completely a much more

27:43

effective version of Kill You Bury Them we

27:45

have ever seen. Part of his buddy on

27:47

that plane will be at the mountain plane.

27:49

The three games in and probably thought you

27:51

know exiting. maybe for the rest of the

27:53

see the who knows those minister to really

27:56

go up. Of course Kyle Lowry having to

27:58

be in and out in the lineup. The

28:00

injury to. Carries. Maxi

28:02

at times where he stepped in and

28:04

had to start Tobias Harris having the

28:07

miss games again for a you know

28:09

various reasons, weather's illness or injury. Going

28:11

to write off a Tobias comes back

28:13

by the way and they shrug idea

28:16

at all that with that will happen

28:18

and we cook ah ago the last

28:20

ten games for kill you Bray because

28:23

this is when we really start seem

28:25

consistently lucky. The planes thirty three minutes

28:27

of the last ten games and with

28:29

that he's averaging eighteen points, six boards.

28:32

Three. Assists. A

28:34

black and one point six steals in

28:37

that time out the on the floor.

28:39

So as not only the office in

28:41

the passing, it's also the defense that

28:43

we've constantly talked about now. right?

28:46

Folks we been talking about obe raise defense

28:49

a lot about what he's done and again

28:51

eighteen points we look at me to twenty

28:53

point per game score Of the last couple

28:55

seasons with Charlotte even coming off the best

28:57

we all knew it was in there for

29:00

the reasons that he was out there at

29:02

the end of free agency in the sixties

29:04

were able to get him. They

29:06

gotta, and whether it's the contract

29:09

part, whether it's the fact that

29:11

he humbled himself. Maybe. The

29:13

right coaching staff to with right whispers that

29:15

are on this coatings them with him is

29:17

as simple as I could. communications miles like

29:19

some guys had a dummy responded to differently

29:22

and Lucky was in a bad situation in

29:24

Charlotte. Absolutely. Now you have a guy who

29:26

can't stop smiling with an all star. You

29:28

have an Mvp there with you. I would

29:30

be who has missed them times but maybe

29:33

he again. As we talked about the news

29:35

story how his his maturity is there, how

29:37

he looks at the game differently. the time

29:39

out was really rough on him. Kill.

29:42

you bray also had a tough

29:44

run near bottom for about a

29:46

month we miss not for a

29:48

weird situation also so whatever it

29:50

is right now the guys now

29:52

averaging fifteen on the season and

29:54

these last ten games he has

29:56

been very very goods and i'm

29:58

looking at his his game large

30:00

here and he is only scored

30:02

in single digits twice, twice in

30:04

the entire month of March and

30:07

now in April and that was

30:09

in a loss against Cleveland and a loss

30:11

against Milwaukee. Everything else is pretty much 12

30:14

points and up and the 12 points

30:16

is the lowest because then the next

30:18

lowest is 17 in there where

30:20

he is just again playing some big minutes 32.7

30:22

minutes in April 34.7 minutes in in pardon me

30:25

34.7 minutes

30:29

in April and 32.7 in March.

30:31

The guy's been getting consistent minutes

30:33

in February he was also at 32 minutes

30:36

there for the six or so

30:38

he is now comfortably in

30:40

a rotation here for Nick Nurse's team where

30:42

it seems he trusts him to go out

30:45

there and be the player that he is

30:47

and he's rewarding him with some really good

30:49

play. And look good the

30:51

points that Derek made initially he's earned

30:54

it he deserves the trust from the way

30:56

he played this is not like when Kelly

30:58

has had a couple games

31:00

in a row or it's like hey he passed

31:02

the ball that's okay that's nice but that doesn't

31:05

mean a whole lot it's a long 82 game

31:07

season when he has a

31:09

month straight where he's looking for

31:11

guys when he's making reads he's

31:14

dialed in defensively now I will say

31:16

tonight there were some issues off

31:18

ball but that was not just him there was a lot

31:20

of these guys are tired and I

31:23

will give them that excuse on the second

31:25

half of back-to-back but Kelly has absolutely earned

31:27

some benefit of the doubt from us

31:30

from the coaching staff his teammates from

31:32

the fans certainly he deserves

31:34

all the burn he's getting right now and again

31:37

I want to keep banging

31:39

this drum because I know I was hard on

31:41

him when he first got here he

31:43

has shown as Derek said real growth

31:46

real stride this is these are not

31:48

small things this is Kelly going from

31:50

being a black hole that's

31:52

that's what he's been called around the league

31:54

that's what people believed he was it's why

31:57

he was a minimum contract player he has

31:59

gone from who does not look

32:01

for or see other people, that

32:03

someone who is attacking and has

32:06

his head up at basically all

32:08

times and is repeatedly and routinely

32:11

finding his teammates, putting his teammates

32:13

in positions to succeed. That

32:15

is an awesome growth story for him. It's

32:18

a great sign, frankly, for the coaching

32:20

staff and the program that they

32:23

can look, this is frankly, if you

32:25

take this Kelly Oubre piece, he is

32:27

one of the, I think coming

32:29

in this year, everyone sort of

32:31

knew around the league, what they thought of

32:33

Kelly Oubre and who they thought he could

32:35

be. Darrell Morey and

32:38

Nick Nurse and these guys can credibly

32:40

go to free agents and their agents

32:42

in the summer and say, look, Kelly

32:45

came here on a prove it deal and a

32:47

whole lot of people decide, hey, he's a minimum

32:49

guy. And look at what he's

32:51

doing right now. Kelly's making himself a shitload

32:53

of money more than likely. I don't know

32:56

what the ceiling is on that, but he

32:58

is making himself money right now. You

33:00

go to a guy, an ascending player, or maybe

33:02

somebody who just needs a fresh

33:04

start, a better opportunity with a good

33:06

team, good program, whatever, what

33:09

they have done with Kelly, what Kelly has done

33:11

for himself, that sells itself to

33:13

a whole lot of people. So I think

33:15

it's a great success story for Kelly individually.

33:18

Certainly I also think it's great for the

33:20

organization. And to your point about

33:22

the numbers since March, again, the key for me

33:24

is going to be since March

33:26

1st, a span of now 19 games,

33:28

he's averaging 2.5 assists per game. Might

33:31

not sound like a lot, it's not for a

33:33

high usage wing, but over his career,

33:35

he was averaging 1.1 per game in 591 games.

33:42

So to average 2.5 over that

33:44

span is a huge jump. And last

33:46

year, again, it was with the Hornets, so caveats

33:48

apply, 17 field goal

33:51

attempts to 1.1 assists. That

33:54

is not the kind of player you want

33:56

on your team, but he's playing in much

33:58

more defined role here. playing a much more

34:01

all around game. And again, is

34:04

2.5. Are you throwing a victory tour? Well,

34:06

for Kelly, yeah, you are throwing a victory tour because

34:08

again, he was averaging 1.1 for his career before then.

34:11

But it goes from being a black hole and a

34:13

player who's actually a net negative on offense despite his

34:15

scoring to filling a role and being a valuable presence

34:18

on the court. It is so much more than just

34:20

getting shots for your teammates. Like I said, it's also

34:22

about being able to finish around a guy like Lemby

34:24

when two months ago, certainly a year ago, he would

34:26

have had no chance to make that layup. No chance.

34:29

It just makes him a more effective player in many

34:31

different facets. This is why we also talk about him

34:33

when we look at the quote unquote victory of the

34:35

team is Tobias Harris is that third, the guy who

34:37

has really been the most consistent of

34:40

that third guy. Now that in his

34:42

case, Kelly, you break your number two

34:44

behind Tyreese Maxie for a

34:46

good portion of that time that in beat has

34:48

been out. So when we look

34:51

at that and you know, we can get into the Tobias

34:53

Harris piece another day because look,

34:55

they're winning. You keep pushing it off, figure

34:57

it out taxes

35:00

and talking about the bias Harris. They come for

35:02

us all. Oh man. But you know, we'll, we'll

35:04

figure it out again at some

35:07

point with him. But Kelly, Uber has

35:09

earned the right for us to talk the

35:11

way that Phil wants us to talk about him.

35:13

Absolutely. Nick nurse to give him those minutes for

35:15

Phil after the break. And then also to just

35:17

simply look at him when we've discussed maybe not

35:20

four years, 80 million on a new

35:22

contract, but also depending on what

35:25

he looks like in the post season

35:27

following all of this positive play, then

35:30

what does that do for him in the

35:32

off season returning to Philadelphia and all that?

35:34

And look, to a lesser extent, when you

35:36

talk about other free agents looking at this

35:39

situation, we thought

35:41

Paul Reeve was going to be the definite starter when Joel

35:43

and be without say what we

35:45

want about mobile and we do. That's

35:47

another example of giving a guy a

35:49

real opportunity. Exactly. Exactly. You

35:52

know, who gets our, I'm

35:54

giving it to him. Yes. Tyreese maxi at 52 points

35:56

and I'm not going to go to Ricky. I'm not

35:58

go get Rick. Not gonna

36:00

go to Ricky, but I'm gonna go to Kelly

36:02

Oubre Wow Look

36:04

what we just spent like 10 minutes straight talking about

36:07

about Kelly and how good of a game and how good

36:09

better he's playing But not giving it to maxi with the career

36:11

high and Rick cuz maxi always gets upset

36:13

of the century Gotta give Kelly Oubre to

36:15

bagels and co-player of the game here tonight

36:18

Hey for 26 points and how we

36:20

38:19

some high-end place that you go to on

38:58

Oubre up on the wall at the Bagels & Co.

39:00

player of the game. But, but, but,

39:02

but, this is the closest when you look at that

39:05

website, the closest Bagels & Co. near you.

39:07

Maybe you'll find one of us in there. All

39:11

right, guys, I have a confession I have to

39:13

make. I

39:15

did not choose chill last night.

39:20

We had a party to celebrate my

39:22

wife, and I,

39:24

I let it get away from me a little bit.

39:27

And the way you don't let it get away from

39:30

you is by choosing chill

39:33

and not a G&T and getting

39:35

an ice cold Coors Light instead.

39:38

With Coors Light, and that's why he's paying for

39:40

it today. I am absolutely paying for it. With

39:43

Coors Light, you know you're getting an ice

39:45

cold and refreshing beer because the mountains turn

39:47

blue on the bottles and cans. And

39:50

they hit that perfect temperature. I

39:52

would have loved to look into my refrigerator

39:54

last night, reached in

39:56

there and gotten a nice cold blue

39:59

mountain Coors Light. I would have been here. Bright

40:03

eyed, bushy tailed, ready with

40:06

Derek and Devon to cover a two overtime game. I

40:09

would have had a recap on the game on all

40:11

phli.com. But that was

40:13

my mistake. I strayed from our friends. I

40:15

did something different. And now I'm still

40:18

having a great time with you guys, but I

40:20

could be having a much better time today. And

40:23

I've learned my lesson because you go to court and

40:26

you get a chance to play. I'm

40:28

going to be playing. Because you go

40:30

to Coors Light. It's a cold layered,

40:32

cold filtered, cold packaged beer. Has a

40:34

smooth finish, mountain cold refreshment. It's one

40:36

of the only things that I can

40:38

truly give to the state of Colorado.

40:40

They really nailed this one. Good job

40:42

guys on that and almost nothing else.

40:44

When you want to choose chill with

40:46

a crisp and refreshing beer and rise

40:48

above it all. Choose chill, choose Coors

40:50

Light. Get Coors Light delivered straight to

40:52

your door with Instacart. But go into

40:54

40:56

40:59

Brewing Company, Golden, Colorado.

41:02

So we brought up. We always bring

41:04

up. I feel like Phil W is one of the

41:06

main. Colorado is the only part of Colorado that doesn't

41:08

hate you. Probably. Phil

41:10

W. I feel like is one of the

41:13

main characters of our chat because he's the

41:15

he's Mr. Kelly Ubre. I would say he

41:18

brought up in the comments today. And this

41:20

is a fair shot by him. We did

41:22

talk about that. We were going to discuss

41:24

this on the show. He said Devon and

41:26

Kyle. I don't know why Derek's not above

41:28

Devon and Kyle show coach Dawn some love

41:30

North Philly with a few question marks. I

41:32

was planning at the end of the show. Make sure I

41:35

talked about it last night. We said we were both rooting

41:37

for John. So I want to say now that she'd won.

41:40

Congratulations to coach Don Staley.

41:42

Obviously an undefeated

41:44

season in any sport at

41:46

any level. Extraordinarily

41:48

difficult. I think to

41:51

me more not more importantly but the

41:53

thing that sticks out to me because I'll

41:55

be honest. I don't follow women's basketball like

41:58

that. I don't watch it a ton. But

42:00

what always sticks out to me about

42:04

Dawn Staley and her teams is

42:06

that there's such an embodiment of

42:09

her and her persona. And

42:11

she is such a great representative

42:13

of what Philly is. Like she's

42:16

very matter of fact.

42:18

She's plain spoken. She says what

42:20

she means. Her teams are tough.

42:22

They're defensive minded. Frankly, a

42:24

lot of times they're big. Like she goes out

42:26

and she gets like real presence

42:28

at the rim and like builds the

42:31

team out from there. And

42:33

I just think like as a

42:35

she is like one of the greatest Philadelphians

42:37

on the earth to me. She

42:39

now won what? Three championships? I frankly,

42:42

I did not know I was doing

42:44

some reading today. Right after

42:46

that game ended. I had

42:48

completely forgotten or maybe I never knew

42:50

that she started coaching while she was

42:52

playing. She was a high

42:55

level basketball player while she also

42:57

took a team from nothing

42:59

to NCAA tournaments and

43:01

multiple A-10 titles. Oh, and by the

43:03

way, she won a fucking gold medal

43:06

in the process as a player in

43:08

that same time period. Like she is

43:10

just an amazing and resilient person set

43:13

aside the sports and like drop all the as

43:16

a woman as a this like she's just an

43:18

awesome representative of our city. So

43:21

Phil W, you are absolutely right. Shout

43:24

out to coach Dawn Staley. She is awesome.

43:27

She is welcome on this show. Frankly,

43:29

anytime she can take my job for

43:31

like she's the best. I agree. She

43:33

can take your job. I agree. If

43:36

I ever got ousted because it was Dawn Staley, I

43:38

couldn't even be mad. The

43:41

game is the game. The other part. So

43:43

three championships. She was the coach of

43:46

the year in women's college basketball this

43:48

year. She's just 2020 as well. Yep.

43:51

And I think she swept all those wars out here. Yep. And

43:54

of course, our playing career we all know

43:56

about she had a great cameo with Lisa

43:58

Leslie and some others on the team. Martin show when

44:01

they beat Martin, Tommy and Cole on

44:03

the court out there on the floor.

44:05

It was just fun, right? But she

44:07

also, she had five players go to

44:09

the WNBA last season. Yeah.

44:12

Yeah. Rotational draft, drafties

44:14

go to the WNBA, including

44:16

her best player, Leah

44:18

Boston that went there as well. She just went and

44:20

got in that five

44:22

more that come back this year and just

44:25

flip the whole thing and to go out there and

44:27

do what she has done to

44:30

lead this team to an undefeated season.

44:33

Doing so. There aren't many of those.

44:35

Against the squad that we've all talked about, even

44:37

as what, two weeks ago we were talking about

44:39

Caitlin Clark and what Iowa was doing and what

44:42

she is doing. By the way, folks, if you

44:44

didn't see it, she had 18 in the first

44:46

half, like fast, missed one shot and

44:48

was hitting deep threes like she does and

44:50

had South Carolina down. But with the size

44:53

that Kyle talked about the way she recruits,

44:55

they were a bigger team today and that's

44:57

why they were able to ship away. I

44:59

said Staley for Kyle as the police of

45:01

the century. I would agree with you. If

45:04

PHOI made that trade, that's stock way the

45:06

fuck up. But Dawn's got to wear the

45:08

hat, the accounting visor. She will wear a

45:10

hat. She will wear a hat. I don't

45:12

know. She's a little too stylish, I

45:14

think. She's making stylish. That's probably true. She

45:17

would have to hold accessorized outfit and

45:19

all that. So congratulations to her. And

45:22

all the local teams shouted her out on their social

45:25

channels of winning again because as Kyle said and

45:27

Derek, I'm sure you're going to talk about it.

45:30

She's the embodiment of Philadelphia

45:33

and she represents Philadelphia. I mean, they've

45:35

lost like four games in the last

45:37

three years. It's freaking wild the amount

45:39

of success they've had, three championships in

45:41

the last seven years. Just

45:43

an incredible run that they're on, an incredible career that she's

45:45

had with as a player and as a coach. And

45:48

been in the public spotlight for all this time and

45:50

not a hint of controversy at any

45:52

level. It is just an incredible, incredible

45:55

career. Very gracious about Kaitlin Clark

45:57

afterwards. So I was about to say, I think.

46:00

maybe her best trait and she's got a lot

46:02

of great ones is that she

46:04

does not lack confidence at all. But

46:06

it's like that perfect amount of like,

46:09

it's self belief rather than tearing other

46:11

people down. And so she in that,

46:14

in that way, she also brings other

46:16

people up with her. So anyway,

46:19

I don't have much more on Don, but shout

46:21

out to her. That was awesome. Because as much

46:23

as people started to make it Caitlin Clark against

46:25

everybody else, she was like,

46:27

no, we're all here. We're on a

46:30

mission getting this done, partly because of

46:32

what the attention is that she's bringing

46:34

to our sport. So I mean,

46:37

look, I hope whenever we when we go to Las

46:39

Vegas or some league, I hope Indiana is playing Las

46:41

Vegas out there. So I want to go watch. I

46:43

want to go see it because that's how good she

46:45

is. And by the way, yes,

46:47

we do need a W. And yes, team

46:50

here in town. Do something useful, Josh. They

46:52

should make it part of the arena deal.

46:54

It's like some biggest no brainer thing you

46:56

would win public support so quickly, so quickly,

46:58

like the easiest thing. Philadelphia with the W.

47:00

NBA team. What's the next one we have

47:03

here? We have a ton of

47:05

we get to first because remember you

47:07

weren't here, but you caught up on it. Flex hoops.

47:10

Eat the shoe. Well, be a man.

47:13

First of all, they have not gotten.

47:15

I'm gonna ask Joe if he can

47:17

get you one of those new sketchers

47:19

and see if you get maybe I'll

47:21

get him to get you like an

47:23

edible sketcher. We'll see if we can

47:25

finagle that. Get the old underarm. They're

47:27

out. They're out. No, you can't do

47:32

that. No free promo.

47:34

Fair enough. Fair enough.

47:37

So he pointed out a flex

47:39

hoop. They are hot. Every time he looks, your hat

47:41

levitates a little more and more because I just

47:43

did. You know, so me and

47:45

Derek, we're going to have to the back when the dad

47:47

had the rest of the show. Now. All right. There's that.

47:49

What do we got next? Let's go to the next one

47:52

on the floor. We got a lot of super chats. You

47:54

do, man. Coach Lowell Ricketts says

47:56

run the table, get the six

47:58

seed eat a question. that's a

48:00

good question. Go

48:03

get them, Rick. Shoe eating is on

48:05

the menu tonight, boys. Or maybe it's on the menu

48:07

next Monday. The same super chat because

48:10

he wants Derek to eat his shoe. I mean,

48:12

listen, I think all of us that are not

48:14

named Derek would love

48:16

that outcome. And even Derek

48:18

would come around because it would mean we

48:20

have the week off leading into the playoffs

48:22

rather than having the play-in game and potentially

48:24

the second one. Yeah, I know.

48:27

I prefer the guaranteed playoff series rather

48:29

than, okay, coin flip and maybe Joel.

48:31

I do not need an offseason starting in a week

48:33

and a half. No, no, no. Can

48:35

you speak to your people that bagels a coat to make a

48:37

bagel-shaped shoe? Mm,

48:40

that's a good idea, actually. I'm

48:42

gonna task Vince. All right, let's do that.

48:44

By the way, Derek, since he talked about

48:47

the 60 twice now, we have that. Philadelphia

48:50

right now, half game up on Miami. In

48:54

the play-in situation, Indiana now a

48:56

game up on the Sixers. Because

48:59

of the win today by Indiana, once again,

49:01

we just want to bring it back a

49:03

little bit for the people where chances succeed

49:06

once again. And if not, their

49:08

chances of staying right where they are with

49:10

the seven. Yeah, so like we mentioned, they

49:12

jumped a half game up on Miami. They

49:15

are still a game back of Indy. And

49:17

like we mentioned, I think it was yesterday, one

49:20

of the recent shows, the Sixers lose a tiebreaker

49:22

to the Heat because they lost in

49:24

the series. Two games in one in the

49:26

Pacers' favor. They would currently... I'd

49:28

have to check. They're

49:30

still on pace to lose a tiebreaker, one-on-one tiebreaker

49:32

against the Heat because that goes to a conference

49:35

record. And I think they would

49:37

need Miami to lose two more conference games. And

49:39

they lose a three-team tiebreaker between three teams because

49:41

of a combined record. The Sixers were just three

49:43

and four in games against the Heat and the

49:46

Pacers. So you still... you pretty much need to

49:48

pass both of them outright. And with three

49:50

games left, it's still going to be tough. I'm

49:52

not sweating over the shoe yet. Like

49:55

Kyle mentioned, I wouldn't mind them getting

49:57

six just because it means... What would you use as

49:59

a topping for... a shoe to make it taste better.

50:01

Well, we'll do the press sauce, of course. Ah,

50:04

our good friends at the Chegg. Look at,

50:06

Derek is really... Somebody in the

50:08

chat brought that up after who it was. Listen, that's the

50:11

group. I was trying to give you credit.

50:13

Just take the credit for them. Well, I didn't want to

50:15

take undeserved credit. Not about that. You're

50:18

a real stand-off guy. I'm like me. I'll take any fucking plaque I'll

50:20

give you. But no, it's still going to be tough. They still have

50:22

a... They need a

50:24

lot to go right out... Obviously they

50:26

have to win their next three games, and

50:28

they have one tough one against Orlando. But

50:30

they need some other help along the way as well.

50:34

Alright, well, and the seven, if they went

50:36

out with this Miami loss, does that lock

50:38

them into the seven? If Miami

50:40

stays as is, or there's a game up... No,

50:42

they still need Miami to lose games. ...lose one

50:44

more? Okay. Alright, let's go to

50:46

our next Super Chat. Bill, do you think

50:48

we have any reason for worry of a Joel's

50:50

setback? Or was medical

50:52

never going to let him play? I

50:56

mentioned this a week ago that Joel was

50:58

complaining in the locker room after a game

51:00

because medical staff doesn't want him ever to

51:02

play. He pointed at the back of the

51:04

locker room. I'm assuming he means probably Simon

51:06

who runs medical, but just the medical

51:08

team in general said, if you ask

51:10

them, they'd never let me play in

51:12

the back-to-back. So, yeah, I think

51:14

this is very clear that they picked this one.

51:18

And frankly, guys, because of all the chatter

51:20

on social and elsewhere, we

51:22

had gone into the second half, or at

51:24

least I had, and I had talked to

51:26

these guys about making the

51:28

show about should they have played Joel in this

51:30

game. Thankfully, they just went out and wanted out

51:33

right. We don't have to worry about it, and

51:35

we'll never speak about it again. They

51:38

won the game. They

51:40

won the game. Yeah. I think there were

51:42

arguments for both ways. I think there was an argument to take the

51:44

bankable one. I think there was an argument to try to maximize your

51:46

chances of winning both, but it doesn't even matter because they came out,

51:49

and they had an incredible come-from-behind win. And it really –

51:51

we brought it up earlier in the show. The

51:54

way they played in the second quarter, and the

51:56

way they were just missing shots, and those missed

51:58

shots were turning into transition opportunities. the

52:00

way they weren't rebal- the defensive rebounding and giving

52:02

them second-chance points, you thought, oh, like every now and then you're

52:04

gonna have a game where you shoot 6 for 30 from 3

52:06

and you have no chance to win, uh, especially with your legs.

52:08

Especially with your big men out. And that's the way it looked

52:11

like this game was gonna go. And for

52:13

them to claw their way back, to get contributions

52:15

up and down the roster, and this really was

52:17

a game where you had contributions, you know, 1-

52:19

1 through 10, to get huge lifts from K.J.

52:21

Martin and Ricky Council, and a career high from

52:23

Tyrese Maxxie and pull out a win, it was a

52:26

truly- and Kyle brought it up, pick

52:28

the one you can get, play with house money,

52:30

see if something happens, and end up working out

52:33

in their way. Guys, they lost the rebounding battle

52:35

by 13, right? They got up 114

52:37

shots. So many

52:39

second-chance- That's so wild. The Spurs 98, and

52:42

they had 8 offensive rebounds to the Spurs

52:44

14. Man,

52:46

but they forced turnovers. 25 turnovers the Spurs

52:48

had leading to 35 points for the 6s

52:51

the other way, where the 6s only coughed

52:53

it up 12 times. Look,

52:55

some of that was personnel-based, right? Like

52:57

Ricky getting hands-on balls, Kelly getting his

53:00

hands-on balls, KJ diving for that. Like,

53:02

that's part of it. And some of

53:05

the reason they haven't been able to

53:07

force turnovers in past years, when it's

53:09

like James Harden, PJ Tucker, Tyrese to

53:11

a lesser extent, when he's a, I'd

53:14

say a worse defender than he was now, they just

53:16

didn't have the athletes. They didn't have the length. They

53:18

couldn't get into passing lanes as much. That's why Melton

53:20

has been such an important player for them. Yeah. Now

53:23

they have guys that can add some real

53:25

athleticism to the rotation. Yep. Absolutely.

55:00

like our friend Val host wants to write for

55:02

it. Val host that's friend of

55:04

the show Val host by the way. Great to

55:06

see you Val last week. I see you Nick

55:08

Nurse let's go. I'm

55:11

actually surprised I was able to do that because

55:14

some inside baseball we did

55:16

karaoke party or party last night and

55:19

I realized at my like

55:21

fifth song when I tried to sing R

55:25

Kelly that I could I couldn't sing

55:27

R Kelly on my best day really but when

55:29

you're that deep into the night I really can't

55:31

sing R Kelly so I'm glad I could hit

55:33

the let's go at the very least. You probably

55:35

banned that from your. Well yeah

55:38

that was I was coerced into

55:40

doing it. I actually.

55:42

What's next? Diddy? Diddy

55:44

song? No. I

55:47

actually banned R Kelly from my own personal

55:49

but I was like listen it's a party that

55:51

people want to do. Fair enough. Fair

55:54

enough. Thank you Val. Thank you Val host for

55:56

that. Foster Black the

55:58

third. KBG

56:00

or is it he means

56:02

KGB? To

56:06

Kelly, ooh, man, his money.

56:08

There you go. Derek for

56:10

for 80 million We're

56:20

having conversations where it's like, oh maybe you

56:22

gotta bring that guy back but at a

56:24

decent number We'll talk about that

56:26

in the offseason, especially Depending

56:28

on what he does in the postseason I think is

56:30

gonna be a big part of that also because if

56:32

he's able to tail that into the postseason and Really

56:35

really have some good games there. Then I

56:38

think there will be some conversations with his

56:40

agent and and Daryl

56:43

more agent is no longer Tobias his father,

56:45

right? Didn't he? Know

56:47

he moved on from him. So he won't

56:49

be negotiating to offseason contracts here in Philadelphia.

56:51

Maybe just one All

56:53

right. Wow talk about a downer Hey,

56:58

we're not talking about to buy You're

57:01

talking about to buy sir. Okay, my time

57:03

we Buy

57:05

us during the game was talking about his outfit

57:07

that I said He looked like he's about to

57:09

go to a disco club afterwards And then I

57:13

don't mean to pile on San Antonio

57:15

because Charles Barkley doesn't enough I was

57:17

like disco might not actually not be

57:19

dead there. So who knows she had

57:21

a jungle 15 million recovery

57:23

game No,

57:26

it's pretty wild did you go

57:28

to the river walk I did I don't know what you mean by Was

57:31

nice. I like to river walk. So the one

57:34

time I was going to go it might be

57:36

a little overrated in 2016 when Villanova got to

57:38

the Final Four right and won the first championship

57:40

and I Didn't

57:42

go I was mad at myself I was

57:44

like I let one slip by because you never know

57:47

these opportunities get in the way right playing for a

57:49

championship He goes back to a second one, but it's

57:51

not in San Antonio and the cool part I remember

57:53

they had them on the after they won. They put

57:55

them on they had them on the boat. Yeah On

57:58

the river walk. So that was cool Charles Barkley does though,

58:01

destroy San Antonio. No,

58:03

if you want to legitimately just be like cattle

58:06

crossing signs, it's freaking wild. Yeah, it's wild. All

58:08

right. Just check it out.

58:10

I'm done with San Antonio. Mark Jackson.

58:14

What up, Mark? I don't

58:16

mean to be clear, I don't mean that in the

58:18

Charles Barkley way. Yeah. I

58:20

just... You mean the actual cattle? Yes, the actual, yes.

58:23

Yes. Just didn't want anyone to win.

58:25

Valid team win, Maxi can win us a series. We've seen

58:27

him do that pretty much. Get him, Rick. Niko

58:31

with some big shots. Kelly playing

58:33

great. Whenby had me a little

58:35

nervous with a... Emoji. Man, like game.

58:37

I don't know if I can do that in person. Yes,

58:40

Mark. A couple of them run through there. We

58:42

kind of forecasted all of us there because we talked

58:44

about Nick Batum and his shooting in the fourth quarter.

58:47

And boy did he hit two big shots, the one

58:50

corner. And then the major one, when

58:52

Tyreese was doubled, they forced the blitz and got

58:54

the ball out of his hands and right there

58:56

on that left wing. And we were

58:58

like, you don't need a three. But he takes

59:00

the three and he nailed it. Nick

59:03

Batum in the shooting, man. I would say,

59:05

Mark Jackson, you have a future in podcasting

59:07

because you summed up... Or you have a

59:09

future in writing because you summed up our

59:11

podcast that has now been going 56

59:14

minutes in one super chat. So that's

59:16

just an incredible economy of words right

59:18

there. You have my respect. That would

59:20

have taken me at least 1500 minutes,

59:22

at least. The

59:25

nervousness of... Well done, Mark. Shout out

59:27

to Mark. And you have a nervousness

59:29

or more of a... Wow, look at

59:31

this guy. I mean, it's both. Like, it's nervous

59:33

because they sixers really needed this game. If they wanted

59:35

any chance of the six seed and of me eating

59:37

a shoe, like, they really, really needed this game. Well,

59:39

the shoe is really what matters. The six seed, yeah.

59:42

Especially with the Pacers winning, it helps them avoid

59:44

being eight, but it certainly makes it tougher for

59:46

them to get to six. To

59:49

steal this one without Joe, you were both nervous

59:51

and there were so many, oh my God. Like,

59:54

legitimately, my notes from this game are like half-wempy.

59:56

And I don't cover that team. I want to

59:58

go back and rewatch this dude. and watch him

1:00:00

for the next decade because he is just an

1:00:02

absurd skill package. When he tried to put that

1:00:04

rebound dunk. Oh my God. Again, the left hand.

1:00:08

I just saw like how he was near

1:00:10

the rim, Devon. He wasn't near the rim.

1:00:12

He's always near the rim. Let me get

1:00:14

the basketball. It

1:00:16

was like a seven foot put back attempt.

1:00:18

It was wild. He was

1:00:21

like, he was all the way over here folks. But

1:00:24

he missed it. I made it. Let's keep it going.

1:00:26

So are you saying you're better than Wembley? I am.

1:00:29

If you give him a three foot hoop, maybe. Right there

1:00:31

I am. Right there. Canole.

1:00:34

Is Ricky eligible to play during the playoffs?

1:00:36

No. On two way contract or

1:00:38

would his contract have to be converted? It would have

1:00:40

to be converted. Have to be converted. He can be

1:00:42

on the inactive list so he can be around the

1:00:45

team, but he cannot play. Let's

1:00:47

keep it going with Jay. Might have found a Ricky.

1:00:50

That's an Anthony Gargano thing there.

1:00:52

Theme emojis. That's an Anthony Gargano

1:00:54

stuff there. What flavor shoe would

1:00:56

you like to eat, Derek? Kyle,

1:00:59

we smoking on that Wembley alien pack.

1:01:02

Hashtag the visor back.

1:01:06

That's right. Wembley really, like

1:01:08

alien is the only way I

1:01:10

can think to describe that guy.

1:01:12

Did you see Nike put an

1:01:14

alien logo on his PEs? I

1:01:16

did not, but it's a great

1:01:18

idea. They got to get some

1:01:20

like black with neon green.

1:01:23

I don't want to say

1:01:25

glow in the dark, but that sort of

1:01:27

colorway, I think, is probably the move with

1:01:29

it. He's just... He's so good. We

1:01:31

were talking a little bit during the game saying like,

1:01:34

how quickly is he a top 10 player

1:01:37

and is it next season?

1:01:40

The thing that really jumps out at me, I think

1:01:42

it was, were you the one who asked him on during the

1:01:45

game if somebody would

1:01:47

sign there like this summer? Yeah, we were

1:01:49

talking about the availability of the free agent.

1:01:52

If you're a guard that

1:01:54

wants to make a lot of money, go

1:01:57

to San Antonio and throw

1:01:59

the entry. passes that these fucking bozos

1:02:01

that he's playing with that only he

1:02:03

can catch High

1:02:06

and he will get it. I I

1:02:09

don't understand watching So

1:02:11

he's not a guard right, but

1:02:13

keldon johnson drives me completely insane

1:02:15

because there are probably three to

1:02:17

four plays per game when I

1:02:20

watch them When keldon johnson

1:02:22

has wenby and wenby's got the seal

1:02:24

or wenby's got a mismatch whatever it

1:02:26

is And keldon johnson's

1:02:28

like yolo step back contested three

1:02:31

I I would send him on the next train

1:02:34

out of town and get somebody in there who

1:02:36

will simply pass the ball Man, well

1:02:38

you talked about it before that I remember we

1:02:40

were discussing it and we mentioned the chris paul

1:02:42

like the chris paul and his prime type of

1:02:44

point guard Oh my god, if he had that

1:02:46

yeah, yeah chris paul would average 25 assists And

1:02:49

that's the thing about that's the thing about

1:02:51

it a guard right any guard any guard

1:02:54

there by the way john caliperi Oh

1:02:56

wow looking to leave kentucky to go

1:02:58

to arkansas How

1:03:02

about that did he get alston i'm going with dana

1:03:04

o'neill on that one by the way That's

1:03:06

why i'm giving that one too. Um, yeah,

1:03:08

she's the greatest. She's uh, she's awesome But

1:03:12

I mean yet whoever signs that deal

1:03:14

in the off season as a point

1:03:16

guard Whoever signs that deal they're going

1:03:18

to average double digit assist They're

1:03:20

gonna have six or seven to him

1:03:22

alone And if they have people who

1:03:24

can make shots there like devin vissel

1:03:27

who's gonna be there He's they're gonna

1:03:29

average double digit assist that can make

1:03:31

you an all-star easy. Yes. I mean

1:03:33

it's crazy You don't even have to

1:03:35

be a good passer. That's the thing

1:03:37

you can throw it within like a

1:03:39

foot and a half Normal

1:03:42

player's radius lob it up. Got

1:03:44

it. Lob it up. All right, let's get to our next super

1:03:46

chat Anymore on that

1:03:48

caliberi thing? I'm reading the dana

1:03:50

o'neill and it says calipari has

1:03:53

referred to john tyson Billionaire heir

1:03:55

to the tyson foods empire and

1:03:57

a major arkansas booster as quote

1:04:00

a longtime friend. So just follow the money.

1:04:02

And so I guess yeah, and they were

1:04:04

already talking. We involved in that first game.

1:04:07

They were very very very that he was

1:04:09

out. Yeah, the school would have owed 33

1:04:11

million to Calpari if

1:04:13

he'd been fired after the season. So I think

1:04:15

this probably gives both sides a

1:04:18

tidy exit. They'll probably get out of

1:04:20

the deal and Calpari go somewhere where

1:04:22

he'll get paid an

1:04:24

ungodly amount of money. And so

1:04:26

from UMass to Memphis to Kentucky

1:04:28

now to Arkansas secure

1:04:30

the bag and all that thing

1:04:33

around there too and

1:04:35

muscle men. I heard was like they

1:04:37

were talking USC or UCLA. USC. I

1:04:39

think it was potentially going out there

1:04:42

leaving there and you leaving Arkansas going

1:04:44

out there to LA for USC. All

1:04:46

right, let's get to our next Super

1:04:49

Chat here. Matt Webster Batoom own Wembley

1:04:51

and OT. Do you guys think it

1:04:53

was Batoom's experience or Wembley's inexperience? A

1:04:57

combination of also a little bit of fatigue. I

1:04:59

thought Wembley was starting to get a little fatigue

1:05:01

down the stretch. But just smart with the Batoom

1:05:03

and by the way as a Frenchman

1:05:06

knows the guy's game a little bit knows maybe

1:05:08

what's going to be teammates within a couple months.

1:05:10

Yeah, yeah. And so know some of the weaknesses

1:05:12

there with the guy. I'm going to go to

1:05:14

Paris and say we we to those guys, you

1:05:16

know, that's about the extent of what I know.

1:05:19

That's what you know. Yeah, I know a little

1:05:21

bit more than that. I got nothing. I

1:05:24

can say I love you. Good morning.

1:05:26

That should be real helpful. Yeah, I'll

1:05:29

get to man Nico. There

1:05:32

you go. There you go. Corey great

1:05:35

growth from is

1:05:37

it Kel's something in Kelly you right there,

1:05:39

but I feel like from Kel's Toby has

1:05:41

gotten worse under this coaching staff. I think

1:05:43

Toby has gotten worse because he's 31 lost

1:05:45

a half step and doesn't know how to

1:05:47

really respond to that and he's in a

1:05:49

huge rut and in his head and yada

1:05:51

yada yada. I'm not sure it's necessarily a

1:05:53

coaching thing. Yeah, like when 31

1:05:55

year old players get worse. It's usually because they're 31.

1:06:00

And look and you're not Kevin Duret. I

1:06:03

would say the ways he's been bad or

1:06:05

the same ways he's been bad his whole

1:06:07

career. He's just been bad

1:06:09

for longer. It's you know, I don't

1:06:12

think it's something that's like coaching

1:06:14

staff isn't putting them in positions to succeed. He's getting

1:06:16

a lot of the same shots he's always got and

1:06:19

he's played a similar-ish role as he has on other

1:06:21

teams. He's just been bad. Yeah, the only thing I'd

1:06:23

say is during that stretch without him being there

1:06:25

were so bad at getting out on the break because

1:06:27

they didn't rebound at all because they didn't really get

1:06:30

stops for at least the first month but they're much

1:06:32

better in the second half of Embiid's absence. But the

1:06:34

first half of Embiid's absence they didn't really get stopped

1:06:36

and when you don't get stops and when you do

1:06:38

get stopped you don't get the rebounder you don't get a chance to

1:06:41

get out and run. Tobias is a player who really excels.

1:06:44

The best version of Tobias is in

1:06:46

transition to early offense when he's able

1:06:48

to attack an unsaid defense and

1:06:50

not being able to do that I think hurt a

1:06:53

little bit but it's like he's 31, lost half step,

1:06:55

lost all of his confidence and like Kyle said the

1:06:57

same shots he was normally getting he's not making now

1:07:00

and it's just snowballed. I don't think it's Nick

1:07:02

per se though. If Tobias doesn't go to a

1:07:04

Detroit type of situation where they'll pay him that

1:07:06

big money for that veteran experience who

1:07:09

gets a bigger contract, Oubre

1:07:11

or Harris? I

1:07:14

still think Tobias probably does. Okay, because I think

1:07:18

I think Detroit is still out there and

1:07:20

going to give Tobias money is my guess.

1:07:24

I don't want Tobias back at the money it's going to take

1:07:26

and if it's going to take Tobias money to bring Kelly back

1:07:28

I'm not signing up for that either. Correct.

1:07:31

So if we're the general market I

1:07:33

think you look at

1:07:37

Detroit and they'll say with Tobias, oh

1:07:39

he'll be the veteran presence

1:07:41

or whoever. We can see all this stuff about

1:07:43

Kelly and his growth and all that's good for

1:07:45

us and for the Sixers. I don't

1:07:47

think even Troy Weaver I don't even

1:07:50

think he's going to look at Kelly like oh that's

1:07:52

he's the guys coming in to change our program and

1:07:54

our project. He's going to get into a lot of

1:07:56

fights with fans if he does that. Yeah. He

1:08:01

might not be back. Fucking Troy Weaver, man.

1:08:03

That guy. He shouldn't be back, but... I

1:08:05

spend way too much time thinking about him. Frankly,

1:08:08

I might have a bit of a mental

1:08:10

illness on that part. So

1:08:13

you are to Troy Weaver as Denver fans

1:08:15

are to you? Maybe.

1:08:19

I don't think I'm that diluted. You

1:08:22

also don't directly attack him. Yeah, right. I

1:08:24

sit on our podcast and just... Yeah, just on a

1:08:27

show that five people watch and nobody cares about you.

1:08:29

All right, let's get to our next one. We have

1:08:31

a few more before we get out of here. Sanjay,

1:08:33

our good friend, feel like the sixth seed is out

1:08:35

with the pace of schedule. Is Milwaukee even going to

1:08:38

be the two seed magic

1:08:40

game behind and

1:08:42

play them twice plus the Thunder

1:08:44

and the Celts for

1:08:47

Milwaukee? Is this our opportunity

1:08:49

to LOL at Doc Rivers? The only

1:08:51

thing I'll say is Orlando is the

1:08:53

one team that has a legitimately scheduled

1:08:55

down the stretch here. They

1:08:57

have the Rockets, the Bucks, the Sixers and

1:09:00

the Bucks again. Now... And

1:09:02

they're tied with New York. With two of those games against the Bucks

1:09:04

and the way the Bucks have been playing. You might say that's not

1:09:06

a tough schedule and certainly with the way they were playing, it's

1:09:09

easier than it you would think. But

1:09:11

that is still a relatively tough schedule, especially with

1:09:13

three of those last four coming on the road.

1:09:15

And a lot of teams with incentive to really

1:09:18

go for it. Especially with Milwaukee losing here, they

1:09:20

have incentive to play right through the end. And

1:09:22

that is the last game of the season, one

1:09:24

of the two times they play Orlando. So

1:09:27

yeah, they could be incentivized right up to

1:09:29

the end. New York tied with Orlando right

1:09:31

now. Game back of Milwaukee, Cleveland, a game

1:09:33

in the half back of Milwaukee. Tough loss

1:09:35

for Cleveland today. Half game back of both

1:09:37

Orlando and New York. And

1:09:40

the Sixers play the magic, by the way, people on

1:09:42

Friday here in Philadelphia. It's a big one. Big game

1:09:45

for both teams. Both teams. Final one here.

1:09:47

Jay of the Jungle, Kyle Newbeck, award-winning

1:09:49

writer, Segway God. I

1:09:53

just burped, I said that. Nobody's

1:09:58

going to give me any awards for that. I

1:10:01

do want to give Jay credit for

1:10:03

spelling Segway correctly because when people spell

1:10:05

it like the brand, it drives me

1:10:07

nuts. Yes. So good on you,

1:10:09

Jay. Thank you, Jay. And Jay has

1:10:11

been in the Discord now,

1:10:13

the Die Hard Discord for a little bit. I

1:10:16

did see it. I think it was Bob who

1:10:18

was, I had the conversation with him today in

1:10:20

the Discord who gave me credit for my pregame

1:10:24

look at the decision to play Joel

1:10:27

yesterday versus today. So thank you, Bob,

1:10:29

for showing me the proper respect. And

1:10:31

thank you to everybody who's here, but

1:10:33

also in our Discord every day.

1:10:35

We'd love to have some more Die Hards.

1:10:38

We're picking up more all the time. I

1:10:40

love interacting with you guys in that Discord.

1:10:42

You also get a free

1:10:44

shirt once a year. You get access to

1:10:47

our exclusive content behind the paywall and what

1:10:49

have you. So a whole lot

1:10:51

of benefits. We read special stuff

1:10:53

from Derek, from ZB, from Charlie,

1:10:55

Bo, myself, the rest of the

1:10:59

gang. I think the Die Hard deal is great. I

1:11:01

do think we have some stuff cooking for Die Hards

1:11:03

coming down the pipeline. Can't discuss

1:11:06

those publicly yet, but you know, might

1:11:08

have some. I actually think there've been

1:11:10

some giveaways just for our Die Hards.

1:11:12

So keep an eye out on that

1:11:14

stuff, but it's probably about time to get out of here.

1:11:16

By the way, with the phlylocker.com,

1:11:20

Tyrese Maxxie again, 52, a

1:11:23

career high. You can go find yourself

1:11:25

1:11:27

1:11:29

tee. I just want to say, Bree

1:11:31

1:11:34

she's the best. She is the best.

1:11:36

By the way, as Vince says, ticket giveaways in

1:11:38

the Die Hard as well. We have somebody going

1:11:41

1:11:44

1:11:46

1:12:07

1:12:09

We'll talk to our people about the mug. You never

1:12:11
