Speaker 1: This podcast is part of the seventy Sixers Podcast network
Speaker 1: search seventy six Ers Podcast wherever you get your pods. Hey,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Everybody? This is Jeff, This is Stees.
Speaker 1: You guys are listening to the seventy six Ers Gaming
Speaker 1: Club Podcast. Obviously, there's bigger issues going on right now
Speaker 1: in the world, and we didn't feel that it was
Speaker 1: appropriate to do the pod during that time. Seventy six
Speaker 1: Ers GC has been practicing and getting better every day.
Speaker 1: Obviously off to a rough start, but we're looking forward
Speaker 1: to the tip off tournament this week. Speaking of the
Speaker 1: tip Off Tournament, there'll be seven different pools with all
Speaker 1: the teams in the league in it. So we're actually
Speaker 1: the first pool play beginning Tuesday, and we are with
Speaker 1: the Nets and the Pistons. We're back to back tournament champions,
Speaker 1: and we have a huge opportunity here just to turn
Speaker 1: our season around, get some positive, positive momentum going the
Speaker 1: right direction. You know, we've been we've been struggling offensively
Speaker 1: and defensively, and I think the last week or so
Speaker 1: we started to put it together on both ends of
Speaker 1: the floor, which is something that's you know that we're
Speaker 1: used to something that we've became accustomed to in the
Speaker 1: previous two years. And uh yeah, just if you want
Speaker 1: to touch on that a little bit, SEEZ, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, if we could have a good
Speaker 1: tip off, that'll really propel our success for the remainder
Speaker 1: of the season. I think it's a it's a big
Speaker 1: step right now in this season three. So coming out
Speaker 1: here and playing these first two teams and hopefully, you know,
Speaker 1: advancing to the money rounds, that will be huge for
Speaker 1: us and I think that'll make us very successful for
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, definitely. And just to give
Speaker 1: a little rundown on how the tournament works, there's seven pools.
Speaker 1: Some pools have three teams and some have four, so
Speaker 1: they'll buy the schedule. You'll play each team twice. So
Speaker 1: in our pool there's three teams, we'll play Detroit and
Speaker 1: Brooklyn twice, and who ever has the higher wins win
Speaker 1: percentage out of those teams through the four games will
Speaker 1: move on the A seed in this tournament. Since there's
Speaker 1: only eight seven pools, is called a wild card. And
Speaker 1: how that works is you go through all the pools
Speaker 1: and whoever has the best record, so we'll probably be
Speaker 1: a team that's three on one or possibly possibly two
Speaker 1: and two, but I would say three and one will
Speaker 1: get you there, and then if there's a tie there,
Speaker 1: they'll go through point differential and head to head and
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. Yeah, so you know, looking
Speaker 1: forward to this this tip Off Tournament, and you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully you guys are still sticking with us, We'll be
Speaker 1: sure to make sure we get that podcast back up
Speaker 1: and run in on our Sundays. Other than that, make
Speaker 1: sure you guys tune in tomorrow to watch seventy six
Speaker 1: years you see kick Off the tip Off and hopefully
Speaker 1: it's a great tournament definitely, and U for us, you know,
Speaker 1: we talked about it this week about what it felt
Speaker 1: like to win the tournament last year and the year
Speaker 1: before and for us right now, like we haven't won
Speaker 1: yet this year, so I mean, winning the Tipoff Tournament
Speaker 1: for the third time in a row would would be huge.
Speaker 1: It would take a you know, it took a ton
Speaker 1: of pride, it took a ton of dedication and teamwork
Speaker 1: to win it the previous two years and we're just
Speaker 1: looking to get back on that stage. Um, so yeah,
Speaker 1: we're we're excited for it. And then, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: if we go out there and we don't win it
Speaker 1: and we make positive strides, you know that that's a
Speaker 1: positive for us. You know, our bigger picture is to
Speaker 1: make it to the playoffs, and we dug ourselves a
Speaker 1: little bit of a hole, and we're excited to come
Speaker 1: out and compete and try to figure it out, you know.
Speaker 1: And and I think we have a lot of momentum
Speaker 1: to do that, so we appreciate it. We'll be live
