Speaker 3: seven to five the fanatic.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Center. A home loss for the
Speaker 2: Sixers tonight to the Detroit Pistons one to oh five
Speaker 2: ninety five. And this is our Parks Casino postgame show.
Speaker 2: Matt Murphy. I'll cross back over here in a minute
Speaker 2: or two with Tom McGuinness, who just called all the action.
Speaker 2: Will effort the postgame press conference from Sixers head coach
Speaker 2: Nick Nurse, as we always do. But a ten point
Speaker 2: win for the visiting Detroit Pistons their first win of
Speaker 2: the new season. They came in zero to four, albeit
Speaker 2: against four of the other top teams in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 2: But the Sixers, still without Joel Embiid, still without Paul George,
Speaker 2: fall to one and three on the season. Their largest
Speaker 2: lead in the game was nine, but the Pistons built
Speaker 2: up a ten point lead at one point late in
Speaker 2: the quarter. They led at halftime as well, led by
Speaker 2: as many as twenty one in the third, and win
Speaker 2: it by ten one oh five ninety five, despite a
Speaker 2: game high thirty two points from Tyrese Maxey. On the
Speaker 2: other side, Jaden Ivy went for twenty three and Cad
Speaker 2: Cunningham went for twenty two chat now with Tom McGinnis,
Speaker 2: and this was one of those things that I mentioned pregame.
Speaker 2: There is a lot of parody in the NBA this year.
Speaker 2: You kind of felt like maybe the Pistons were due
Speaker 2: for a game like this. It was the return of
Speaker 2: Tobias Harris and just have to say they did kind
Speaker 2: of rally around him in the second half. What were
Speaker 2: some of your takeaways.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had two big baskets, and you know, his
Speaker 1: teammates because he was getting jeered and let's be honest,
Speaker 1: booed by the fans, and you know, they rally around
Speaker 1: that a little bit. And I think what you saw
Speaker 1: mostly was that. But like the play of Ivy and
Speaker 1: cunning and they were aggressive, been assertive. And the Sixers
Speaker 1: are a little max E centric right now, and understandably Soe.
Speaker 1: He had thirty two points and this is right in line.
Speaker 1: Remember I was passing along that he's on average playing
Speaker 1: forty minutes. He played forty minutes and taking around twenty
Speaker 1: eight shots. He took twenty five shots and he made
Speaker 1: twelve of twenty five, which is you know, right in
Speaker 1: that's nearly fifty percent. You take that two of ten
Speaker 1: though from three and I think you know all told
Speaker 1: now eleven of forty eight from beyond the Arc, which
Speaker 1: I think eventually he'll shoot. You know, he's traditionally been
Speaker 1: higher than.
Speaker 2: That, especially when his looks improved just by the mere
Speaker 2: presence of MBID and Paul George.
Speaker 1: Absolutely so. And then you know on a night, you know,
Speaker 1: Caleb Martin was two for ten, cally youu bray five
Speaker 1: of fourteen. I thought Jared McCain was one of the
Speaker 1: bright spots in the game. So, like I said, if
Speaker 1: he can begin to earn the trust and to me,
Speaker 1: like you know, he's gonna make threes eventually, that's the
Speaker 1: strength of his game.
Speaker 2: But he's doing it other ways now.
Speaker 1: That's right. So like your notice seem a driple penetration.
Speaker 1: He was entrusted to guard Kate Cunningham. I mean one
Speaker 1: of them, I think Cunningham just sort of missed. But
Speaker 1: other times I thought he did really well. So those
Speaker 1: are that's an encouraging sign. Like if he could be
Speaker 1: a rotational player, I think he'd probably be a little
Speaker 1: bit ahead of the cribbon. Maybe it's because that there's
Speaker 1: no Paul George, but certainly in a game like this
Speaker 1: where you were trailing and there was no reason to
Speaker 1: not leave him out there, and like I said, he
Speaker 1: made a little bit of an impact. It was it
Speaker 1: was a positive sign.
Speaker 2: Matt Murphy and Tom McGinnis on the Parks Casino postgame show.
Speaker 2: Seventy six Ers fall to the Detroit Pistons at home
Speaker 2: one oh five ninety five. McCain had twelve points without
Speaker 2: hitting a three. He was zero for one from beyond
Speaker 2: the arc. He was three for nine overall. Ricky Counsel,
Speaker 2: the fourth actually got in to the game in the
Speaker 2: first half, and then it was McCain soon after in
Speaker 2: the rotation, and McCain ends up playing a lot more
Speaker 2: than Counsel. McCain played almost twenty two minutes in the
Speaker 2: t ten point loss to the Detroit Pistons, who last
Speaker 2: year had the worst record in the NBA. They retooled.
Speaker 2: They have a new coach in JB. Bickerstaff and Jade
Speaker 2: and Ivy was coming off the bench, but in the
Speaker 2: starting lineup this year with Cad Cunningham. They combined for
Speaker 2: forty five points to defeat the Sixers, and they were
Speaker 2: out rebounded.
Speaker 1: Tom.
Speaker 2: The Sixers were forty nine to thirty seven. But they
Speaker 2: won the turnover battle, right They four seventeen and only
Speaker 2: turn the ball over nine, So how do you weigh
Speaker 2: those two stats?
Speaker 1: The Sixers are creating turnovers and talking to coach over
Speaker 1: the weekend, you know, he wanted to see the Sixers
Speaker 1: capitalize a little bit more like, you know, finish off
Speaker 1: those turnovers and take that to advantage. And then again,
Speaker 1: you know, one of the big emphasises in camp was
Speaker 1: to create extra opportunities and they've done that as well.
Speaker 1: But overall they were beaten on the glass after a
Speaker 1: pretty solid showing against the Pacers with fifty four rebounds.
Speaker 1: So again, it's like the identity of the Sixers is
Speaker 1: still up in the air. But it's almost it's like
Speaker 1: without George and Embid even this group, like what, you know,
Speaker 1: what is that going to be? It's a wholly different. Uh.
Speaker 1: I think you're going to define the team completely different.
Speaker 1: And yet if those you know, if Joel doesn't play
Speaker 1: as many games as you might might have thought coming in,
Speaker 1: this is you know, this is going to be part
Speaker 1: of the identity this group.
Speaker 2: Saturday Night home again. John Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies.
Speaker 2: He's one of those guys that's kind of must watch
Speaker 2: in the NBA, yep.
Speaker 1: And I would think for him a little bit of
Speaker 1: a redemption tour, just based on the injury last year
Speaker 1: and kind of in and out of the lineup with
Speaker 1: different causes. And obviously a very electric player. And Zach
Speaker 1: Edy comes to town. Jaron Jackson's one of the best defenders,
Speaker 1: one of the best outside talents. So that's another difficult game.
Speaker 1: And again a time in which the Sixers, particularly with
Speaker 1: the ability of Joel and George, you know, to get
Speaker 1: out there with two days off before a game that
Speaker 1: this breathing room in this you know, this week of
Speaker 1: the schedule is a little unusual and hopefully beneficial.
Speaker 2: That'll be seven thirty on Saturday night. Morant and the
Speaker 2: Grizzlies are actually down thirteen to the Brooklyn Nets, who
Speaker 2: are playing hard to start the new season. But that's
Speaker 2: early in the second half. Tom acguinnis thanks as always,
Speaker 2: will do it again on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Good night, Thank you.
Speaker 2: Sixers fall to the Pistons by ten one oh five
Speaker 2: ninety five. We hope to hear from head coach Nick Nurse,
Speaker 2: but will hit a quick break one oh five ninety
Speaker 2: five Detroit over the Sixers here in Philadelphia, and we'll
Speaker 2: continue on next with our Parks Casino post game show.
Speaker 3: You were listening to the Sixers Radio Network presented by
Speaker 3: Jackpot City Casino.
Speaker 2: Regular season Game four in the books for the twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty five Philadelphia seventy six Ers, and
Speaker 2: here in Philadelphia, it was kind of a tale of
Speaker 2: those middle quarters again outscored by the Pistons tonight thirty
Speaker 2: two nineteen and the second thirty one twenty two in
Speaker 2: the third, and the Sixers drop this one to the
Speaker 2: Pistons one oh five ninety five. They are one in
Speaker 2: three on the season, all without Embiid and George. Pistons
Speaker 2: get their first win in five games. They were led
Speaker 2: by Ivan Cunningham twenty three and twenty two points, Tyrese
Speaker 2: Maxi thirty two for the seventy six Ers with a
Speaker 2: game high tying seven assists. Next leading scorers were Ubre
Speaker 2: with thirteen and Jared McCain with twelve off the bench.
Speaker 2: Matt Murphy back with the Parks Casino postgame show. So
Speaker 2: the Sixers will have to wait and try again on
Speaker 2: Saturday for their first home win of the new campaign.
Speaker 2: Their first win was this past Sunday in thrilling overtime
Speaker 2: fashion against one of last year's Eastern Conference finalists in
Speaker 2: the Indiana Pacers. But the Pistons come with this one.
Speaker 2: They let it by as many as twenty one in
Speaker 2: the third quarter. Sixers did outscore them in the fourth
Speaker 2: by eight. We'll hear the highlights in just a moment,
Speaker 2: team stats wise forty six percent. We'll also hear from
Speaker 2: coach Nurse coming up in just a second, but forty
Speaker 2: six percent shooting for Detroit to forty just under forty
Speaker 2: two for the Sixers, and they shot it eight of
Speaker 2: twenty eight from three compared to the Pistons, who shot
Speaker 2: fifteen for thirty six from beyond the arc. So that's
Speaker 2: our stat of the game. Fifteen made threes for the
Speaker 2: Pistons and just eight on twenty eight attempts for the Sixers.
Speaker 2: Max He was two for ten from three, but twelve
Speaker 2: of twenty five overall in forty minutes of action. Before
Speaker 2: we get to the audio highlights, the key plays from
Speaker 2: this game that did feature Tobias Harris coming back to
Speaker 2: Philadelphia and getting an eighteen point fourteen rebound double double,
Speaker 2: the most rebounds in the game. Let's hear some of
Speaker 2: coach Nick Nurse's postgame press conference.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought, I mean, there's there's a number of things,
Speaker 4: but I thought one of the two of the key
Speaker 4: things was was just kind of rebounding at both ends.
Speaker 4: I thought that our offensive guys that were crashing were
Speaker 4: over extending themselves when it wasn't necessary. Like you could
Speaker 4: kind of see it was like a ninety ten ball
Speaker 4: maybe and they'd already have it and we'd kind of
Speaker 4: still making a play on it, and then they were
Speaker 4: out the other way. At the transition like turned that
Speaker 4: game around, like they got to buy I think at
Speaker 4: least four, if not four transition threes in the first half,
Speaker 4: and that's what kind of changed. It was a transition
Speaker 4: and then obviously there was some defensive rebounding issues as
Speaker 4: well that got them some got them some kickout threes,
Speaker 4: and that continued. I think we did a little bit
Speaker 4: better in transition because I thought we did a decent
Speaker 4: job of gardener in the half court, but the transition
Speaker 4: and the offensive rebounding by them were a problem. I
Speaker 4: guess evaluate just your total offense tonight not very good. Yeah,
Speaker 4: not very good. I thought we were sped up. I
Speaker 4: thought they physicality got us. We didn't get a lot
Speaker 4: of a lot of screens set they were breaking through,
Speaker 4: a busting through a lot of them. We didn't put
Speaker 4: much pressure on the rim with our role threat, and
Speaker 4: I thought we did turn the corner and had some
Speaker 4: decent shots at the rim, but again didn't didn't finish
Speaker 4: a high enough rate of those with you know, with
Speaker 4: some physicality. There was some pushing in the back and
Speaker 4: hitting them the thing, but that not you know, you
Speaker 4: still got to find a way to steer those in.
Speaker 4: So I think we did miss a bunch of those opportunities.
Speaker 4: Probably most disappointed. And I thought we had great generated
Speaker 4: some great looks from three early in the game, and
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, we kept kind of up over, up over,
Speaker 4: you know, like a couple of possessions where I thought
Speaker 4: that one should have been shot, that one should have
Speaker 4: been shot, and that one should have been shot, and
Speaker 4: all of a sudden none of them were shot, and
Speaker 4: then we're jammed at the end of a shot clock
Speaker 4: with not very good. So I mean, when we generate
Speaker 4: those catch and shoots, we gotta we got to pull
Speaker 4: the trigger. So I think we we were hesitant on
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff that question.
Speaker 2: I guess it seems like last game Tree's being so
Speaker 2: hot and tonight there's a lot of trying to switch
Speaker 2: hunt and.
Speaker 3: Be kind of like Theander in that regard.
Speaker 4: How do you balance or switch hunting versus being more
Speaker 4: intentional running sets. Yeah, I mean, we're we're we're trying
Speaker 4: to like mix things up. I didn't think that either
Speaker 4: of our other kind of handlers Caleb and Kelly, had
Speaker 4: much force or any much going either. Like like the
Speaker 4: last game, we could see we had we had a
Speaker 4: lot of guys starting a lot of stuff, and we
Speaker 4: were running similar things, but just kept moving the pieces around.
Speaker 4: Tried a little bit of that early, but weren't having
Speaker 4: much success with with with making I mean, first play
Speaker 4: the game, Caleb turns the corner and and we get
Speaker 4: a charge. You know, we did, we did. We executed
Speaker 4: that one really good, but we didn't quite make the
Speaker 4: right play at the end of it. But but those
Speaker 4: guys turning the corner tonight wasn't nearly as effective for
Speaker 4: paint touches and kickouts and and you're right again, we
Speaker 4: didn't we didn't do a good enough job of waiting
Speaker 4: setting separating on Tyreesa's screen roles. He just wasn't getting
Speaker 4: enough enough separation on those things to create some type
Speaker 4: of advantage. I mean, he he did get a good
Speaker 4: number of shots downhill, right, and he didn't, you know,
Speaker 4: hit some. But you have ten ten cracks at the three.
Speaker 4: A couple of those were pretty tough. But I think
Speaker 4: there's most of the other ones we want him to take,
Speaker 4: but we can't. We can't like I mean, he he
Speaker 4: scored enough tonight right one.
Speaker 2: In three record for the Nick Nurse in the Philadelphia
Speaker 2: seventy six ers on the young season, after a one
Speaker 2: oh five ninety five defeat at home to or Buy
Speaker 2: the the Detroit Pistons, who are in the wind column now,
Speaker 2: Nick Nurse joining the Parks Casino post game show Matt
Speaker 2: Murphy back with You. A home game coming up on
Speaker 2: Saturday night against John Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies, who
Speaker 2: many expect to have a big time bounce back year
Speaker 2: as they were just demolished in the health department a
Speaker 2: season ago, and then an early season West Coast swing
Speaker 2: will take the Sixers to Phoenix and then they'll play
Speaker 2: at the into It Dome next Wednesday against the Clippers
Speaker 2: and the Lakers after that, who were down big earlier
Speaker 2: tonight I saw to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but that the
Speaker 2: upcoming schedule for the Sixers Lakers game will be It'll
Speaker 2: be Monday, Wednesday, Friday Suns Clippers Lakers. But they've dropped
Speaker 2: this one tonight. Let's here's some of the key plays
Speaker 2: in this game. Sixers and Pistons in Philadelphia, as called
Speaker 2: by Tom McGuinness and Kelly Ubray. Junior was the second
Speaker 2: leading scorer to Tyrese Maxie for the Sixers tonight, which
Speaker 2: rolled out a starting lineup the same one of Maxi, Lowrybra,
Speaker 2: Caleb Martin, and Andre Drummond in the absence of Joel
Speaker 2: Embiid and Paul George, who Nick Nurse said before the
Speaker 2: game that they hope to have a really good read
Speaker 2: on those guys by Friday of this week. But Ubra
Speaker 2: had it going early on. And here's a runner in
Speaker 2: the link, drumming, chopping at it, knocket it away. Kelly
Speaker 2: Ubra has the ball Sixers going right to left. Ubray
Speaker 2: behind the back in traffic, meet Tobias Harris and he
Speaker 2: banked it in an aggressive play, hard bang shot off
Speaker 2: the white painted square right in the middle over Harris
Speaker 2: and with that five straight by the Sixers ubray coach Nurse.
Speaker 2: Everyone knew this was going to be a physical game
Speaker 2: tonight against the Pistons, who were hungry for a victory.
Speaker 2: That put the Sixers up five to four early in
Speaker 2: the first quarter before it was a Maxi takeover. It
Speaker 2: was too easy, as the song that plays after he
Speaker 2: scores says in the lyrics, it was too easy for him,
Speaker 2: particularly a stretch where he was providing literally all of
Speaker 2: the seventy six ers offense. He had points ten through twenty.
Speaker 2: Here putting them up twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: Maxi with a dribble right hand at an angle out
Speaker 1: top guarded by Cunningham. They're playing a zone. Here's another
Speaker 1: runner off the window up and goods what Cunningham's watching that?
Speaker 1: And Maxi scored the exact same way a moment earlier.
Speaker 2: Maxi had ten points in the first quarter, the Sixers
Speaker 2: led twenty six twenty two after one. He finished with
Speaker 2: thirty two points, three rebounds, a game high tying seven assists,
Speaker 2: and he also had two steals in forty minutes on
Speaker 2: twelve of twenty five, shooting two for ten from deep
Speaker 2: and six for seven at the free throw line. Sixers
Speaker 2: up four going to the second quarter, but the Pistons
Speaker 2: would answer back and actually take the lead before continuing
Speaker 2: on a very high scoring run. Malik Beasley, most recently
Speaker 2: with the Milwaukee Bucks, now with the Detroit Pistons, lines
Speaker 2: up his second three for the lead early in Q two.
Speaker 1: Ricky Council from deep that won't go. Boubreak keeps him alive,
Speaker 1: but Beasley comes up with the ball Detroit going left
Speaker 1: the right. They can take the lead with a trail
Speaker 1: three by Beasley, and the former seminole nails it timeout
Speaker 1: Sixers Detroit scoring eight of the first ten points in
Speaker 1: the second.
Speaker 2: One of their five double figure scores on the night.
Speaker 2: He did it off the bench. Eleven points for Malik
Speaker 2: Beasley eight oh. Detroit run turned into fifteen to OHO
Speaker 2: turned into seventeen to two in the second quarter, and
Speaker 2: Cad Cunningham was obviously a big part. He's typically a
Speaker 2: big part of what they do, and he was again tonight.
Speaker 2: In the midst of that run, he hit his second three.
Speaker 2: He would go on to finish the game four for eight.
Speaker 2: From beyond the arc on a twenty plus point night.
Speaker 2: And here's one of those four triples in step back fashion.
Speaker 1: Cunningham around the Stewart screen. Six on the clock, Cunningham
Speaker 1: over drumming for three and it's good Kate Cunningham much
Speaker 1: more consistent from beyond his third tray.
Speaker 2: Soon after that, Cunningham twenty two points on six of
Speaker 2: fifteen shooting. Overall, he had the seven assists to tie
Speaker 2: Maxi tonight. There was a whole lot more of Maxy
Speaker 2: in that second quarter. In fact, he finished the first
Speaker 2: half with nineteen points. But not long after Cunningham's three,
Speaker 2: there was a lob to Tobias Harris, now with the
Speaker 2: Pistons on a two year, fifty plus million dollar contract,
Speaker 2: and the crowd was, as we said, letting him hear it.
Speaker 2: Tonight he would put the Pistons up ten before halftime.
Speaker 2: He was actually at one point pumping up the crowd.
Speaker 2: He even cupped his ear after the basket to go
Speaker 2: up fifty two forty two, and their halftime lead was
Speaker 2: fifty four forty five. To the second half we go
Speaker 2: and more Tobias Harris, who ended the night with a
Speaker 2: double double. The Sixers were down twelve early in the third,
Speaker 2: they took a time out. Tim Hardaway Junior, also new
Speaker 2: to them after a trade from Dallas, extended it to
Speaker 2: fifteen with a three and then a few possessions later.
Speaker 2: It's Tobias Harris catching dunking and drawing the foul on
Speaker 2: Caleb Martin.
Speaker 1: Max He keeps it alive, but Ivy comes up with
Speaker 1: it for Detroit acrossmincourt down the court de Harris who
Speaker 1: leaked out he dunked it and Martin will they file his.
Speaker 2: Fourth eighteen points, fourteen rebounds on eight of eighteen shooting
Speaker 2: for Tobias Harris zero for three from three in thirty
Speaker 2: five minutes for the Pistons, who in the second quarter
Speaker 2: had outscored the Sixers thirty two to nineteen, and they
Speaker 2: would despite this massive highlight play from the Sixers, they
Speaker 2: would outscore them by almost double digits in the third quarter.
Speaker 2: And you thought at times in the second half that
Speaker 2: the Sixers could flip the momentum. This was one of them.
Speaker 2: It's two guys who were in their fifth year in
Speaker 2: the NBA. Really good chemistry on display early in this season.
Speaker 2: Tyrese Maxi to kJ Martin.
Speaker 1: Here's maaxy with kJ Martin. Oh man, he throws it
Speaker 1: in with a left hand. Jamps. How about that? Maxied
Speaker 1: almost for a split second, looked as if he lost him,
Speaker 1: but no, he sees kJ Martin crashing in. It looks
Speaker 1: too high and too wide, but Martin goes airborne and
Speaker 1: crashes in with the alley.
Speaker 2: Oop really like, reached back with his strong left hand
Speaker 2: and threw it down. It was jaw dropping. But the
Speaker 2: Pistons were up fifteen at the time after that, and
Speaker 2: they took an eighteen point lead into the fourth quarter
Speaker 2: eighty five sixty seven. Martin. kJ Martin had six points
Speaker 2: off the bench in twenty two minutes and thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: Kayleb Martin as a starter, shot just two of ten
Speaker 2: and had seven points and five rebounds for the Sixers
Speaker 2: who trailed eighty five sixty seven after the third and
Speaker 2: Jared McCain was in double figures off the bench. A
Speaker 2: really nice night for the rookie. Didn't even have to
Speaker 2: do it from beyond the arc, only took one, but
Speaker 2: he got nine shots up. He got to the line
Speaker 2: six times, made all six And this is what we
Speaker 2: were talking about earlier on in the Parks Casino postgame
Speaker 2: show a drive in the lane, he switched his hands
Speaker 2: Jared McCain with a nifty finish.
Speaker 1: Here's Jared on a left hand drive up and good
Speaker 1: played through the contact got Don Linge, shifted to the
Speaker 1: left hand and banked it in off the glass. Jared
Speaker 1: McCain solid.
Speaker 2: Eighty seven to seventy three Detroit at the time. McCain
Speaker 2: had twelve in almost twenty two minutes as a reserve,
Speaker 2: and the Pistons would go on to win one oh
Speaker 2: five ninety five in Philadelphia,
