<v Speaker 1>podcast feed. Joel Embiid and James Harden. We're back and

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it was win number fifty. It was game number seventy

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>six for the seventy Sixers, and it's the first time

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 1>they've won fifty through the first seventy six games of

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 1>a season since two thousand, two thousand and one, and

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>we all remember what happened in that season and what

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>those playoffs were like. So I'm not saying, but I

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>am saying it's a historic fiftieth win or the first

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>time in sometime that they've won fifty through this many games. Matt.

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>You absolutely love to see it on a night where

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.119
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers actually didn't really have it going the way

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>that they wanted to, being able to come out a

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>half time and figure it out down the stretch against

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>a good Dallas Mavericks team that has been struggling lately,

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>but of course has some weapons that are hard to

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 1>miss when you play against that team. So good to

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>see the Sixers figure it out in James and Joel's

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>first game back. Joel, of course only missed the one game,

0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>but James has missed a few, so good to see

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>them find their rhythm together, big bench contributions. I'm gonna

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and jump straight into the box score. Now

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I see the number of engagements rising in that bottom

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>right hand corner. You can hit that purple button and

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>let us know what stands out to you. As I

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>go through the box score, Matt will give you a takeaway.

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>We'll hear from Tyrese Maxie. We will also get out

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>of here after that. So the box score last night

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>one sixteen, one oh eight win for the seventy six ers.

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Matt set it their fiftieth win of the season. Joel

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Embiid led the way for the team once again twenty

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>five points, nine rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block.

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Tyrese Maxie twenty two points, four rebounds, four assists, two steals.

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>James Harden a fifteen point twelve assist double double plus

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>four rebounds and three steals. Tobias Harris finished with thirteen points,

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>four rebounds, two assists, and to steal. George Niang and d'

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>anthony Melton had great nights coming off the bench. Seventeen

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>for d' anthony on five for six shooting from three

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>point range. George had fourteen he made four threes. D'y

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>anthony also had six rebounds last night, which is the

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.239
<v Speaker 1>second most rebounds on the team, tied with PJ. Tucker,

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>behind Joel Embiid and Matt. It was a good night

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>overall for a balanced performance, a good bench performance. Doc

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Rivers talked about the struggling bench on the road and

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>attributed it to the fact that a lot of them

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>were playing in the starting lineup and weren't able to

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>play their traditional roles. So good to see the bench

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 1>proved doc right when they were able to get back

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>into their usual groupings last night. What was your biggest takeaway,

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Matt honorable mention the Niang and Melton combo three point

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>shooting off the bench, because when you go nine for

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>thirteen as a duo, that certainly bears mention, and you

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>mentioned it. I will repeat it here. But my primary

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>takeaway when we talk about the box score from this

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Sixers MAVs game is you've alluded to the rebounding or

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>you talked about the rebounding, but I'm going to take

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>it a step further with Melton talk about offensive rebounding

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and how the Sixers had twenty five second chance points.

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Dallas only had eight, by the way, but d' Anthony

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Melton is a guard and he had four offensive rebounds,

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>and Paul Reid had three offensive rebounds. So that's a

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 1>hustle stat and it's a skill and Paul Reid is

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 1>really really good at it, and so is d Anthony Melton.

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>He's got super long arms. You can see that when

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>he comes away with steals on the defensive end. But

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.359
<v Speaker 1>those two guys crashing the glass is eye opening Melton

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.239
<v Speaker 1>and Read in particular, and it was on display against

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the Mavericks. Big time contributions across the board. Paul Reid,

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>like you mentioned, was my walk off last night. Good

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to see him happy and in good spirits. Matt, I

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>agree with you. Love both of your takeaways, love the

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>production from the bench. If you don't have anything else

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 1>that you want to talk about from the box score,

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I think we can go ahead and hear Tyrese Maxie.

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:05.039
<v Speaker 1>But do you have anything else? Statistically? There's a few

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>questions and comments that I want to get to because

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 1>there was the game, there's the new locker room, there's

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a handful of topics. There's the G League playoffs

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>that we can do. But I think hearing from Tyrese

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Maxie post game as we compile all of those things

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>would be a great step forward. Alrighty, here is Tyrese

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Maxie immediately post game last night. I think our defense

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>has started. The second half was huge. I think we

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of got into the ball, trying to force them

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>into shots that we wanted them to take and not

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>shots that they wanted to take. And that was effective.

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>We got and ran, got a couple of easy baskets

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 1>in once we Saturday, and I think it was good.

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>It's hard, you know, to find rhythm again. James been

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>out I think four games, maybe think Setly missed the

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>last game, so I was, you know, first time playing

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>with each other and since I don't know, since he

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 1>was here last time. So it happens number of games

0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 1>this year as the team make do that again. You

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't get in comment. Yeah, it does go. It's a

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>confidence of that. Of course, we don't want to get

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 1>down early. But we have the the chemistry and we

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.279
<v Speaker 1>have the communication level that we know that will be okay.

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>We know that we're gonna be able to fight and

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 1>be resilient, and we have multiple guys on our team

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>that can help us win games. And shout out to

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>George and Melt tonight who came off the bench and

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>hit up big threes and played really well and we

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>needed that lift. Your friends friend, Yeah, he balls tonight.

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>He balls to Night. But I told him before the game,

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, he was kind of down from the last game.

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 1>We told him how a bounce back game. Um, and

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.039
<v Speaker 1>he did good. And I take no credit for that.

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>He was just bothering man the rebounds that he got

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>laid in that game offensively. Um, I'm sitting on the

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>corner looking at him jumping. I'm like, bro, he was

0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>you should just dunk it. He was all the way

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>up there. But you know, but we appreciate him. He's

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:08.359
<v Speaker 1>been great. You get I guess for about used to

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 1>help is what is that process? Like the miss do

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the game where you guys the chemistry all season, but

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>still like about, there's kind of affirmation process everybody that's

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the boss about rhythm. It's about rhythm. So like James

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>has to get his rhythm back because he missed hiring

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>many games he missed, Joe missed the last game. So

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>now you have Joe having to get his rhythm back

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>from missing one game, and you got James from missing

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>five games. Now they each individually had to get their

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>rhythm back. But then now both of them in the

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>pick and roll and the two man gamet gotta get

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>their rhythm back, which makes all follow us on the

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>quarterbatta get our rhythm back together. So it's it's you know,

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>it's hard, but uh, you know, if anybody can do it,

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 1>they can do it, and we can do it as

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>a team getting a lot of reps. What second unit

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 1>guys just hear what if you learn about the keys

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>for you and that's problem. Yeah, if I'm out there

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>with a second unit, for the most part of what

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to do is get into the paint and

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>create for myself, to create for others. I think that

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 1>went well for us tonight. We kind of opened up

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the floor. M I drove down. Sometimes it's not even me,

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, past making the lab is me drawn to

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>shooting a lab, missing it and then period or you

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 1>know them. You often's rebound opportunities. But that's unit that

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 1>we just trying to play fast. You try to play

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>a little bit faster, play a little bit more pace,

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and then get stops and run. Tyrese Maxie immediately following

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 1>last night's win, seven games in a row with twenty

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 1>plus points for Tyrese, that's a new career high streak

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>for such games and it's just been great to see

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>him thriving in every scenario he's been put in as

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>he has all season long. Matt, I know you wanted

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>to jump into the comments. Go ahead. Yeah. So, first

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 1>of all, when Tyrese responded to you in that clip,

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the questions are of course a little bit harder to

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>hear because we are off mic during those moments and

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.239
<v Speaker 1>when the players at the podium, But you asked about

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Melton, and that was who Tyrese was saying was

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>balling against the Mavericks. And when he mentioned in his

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>first answer Maxie talking about the first few minutes of

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the third quarter coming out of the locker room, and

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:20.080
<v Speaker 1>they actually they recorded three rather impressive steals within the

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>first five minutes of the second half, trailing Dallas in

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 1>this game, and obviously part of the comeback effort was

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 1>fueled by defense. And speaking of locker room, they moved

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>into their new locker room at the Center officially, and

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I did share the locker room reveal video in the

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>space here for the live listeners if anyone hasn't seen

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 1>that video yet. But a really nice space. Mainly there's

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 1>not a big column in the middle of the room

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 1>anymore that everyone used to walk around. It's a very

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>modern looking circular locker room that has a very modern

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>yeah feel to it, Lauren, I was very impressed, and

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:07.959
<v Speaker 1>it's good on the Sixers front office and staff to

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.680
<v Speaker 1>make sure the guys are comfortable heading into the playoffs,

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>a new space for them to get ready in. It

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 1>was nice and it was, like you said, Matt, nice

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 1>to watch them get excited about their new space. You

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>said it coming during the playoffs. There are so many

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 1>people behind the scenes that made that possible on the

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Sixers side, So shout out to all of them, of course,

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>and some renovations in coming for next season two, so

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that's an exciting little thing to keep an eye on, Matt.

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.319
<v Speaker 1>Any other questions that you want to answer or folks

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you want to shout out before we sort of look ahead. Yeah,

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 1>there are questions, and there's a lot of comments about

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the Big Niang Theory with yourself and George Niang, so

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I think we've got to get to that as well,

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 1>talking about the latest and greatest episode of the Big

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Niang Theory. Because multiple guests joining you and George in

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Kate Scott and Shake Milton, there was I think, so

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>we hit the locker room somebody mentioned that and then okay,

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 1>so John says it's Phillies Opening Day. Why are you

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>doing this today while we cover the Sixers, but appreciate

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the shout out. We can give a shout out to

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the Phillies. Their run baseball opening Day is always fun.

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Their run to the World Series was phenomenal. But we

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 1>can lift all teams in the city of Philadelphia because

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>an important stretch for the Sixers and getting in here

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 1>to talk after their comeback win against Dallas and their

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>back home after being on the road so much this

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 1>month of March. Let's see what else we've got Going

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to the comments, Genie has to give a shout out

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 1>to Paul Reid. He's still honing his skills and he

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 1>isn't perfect, but his heart and hustle are unmatched once

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 1>he gets onto the floor. Anything to add, Lauren, You

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 1>had another walk off interview with Paul and he's just

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>so down to earth and fun to listen to and

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>so much gratitude. He plays with a lot of gratitude

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>for every minute, every opportunity that he's given. Immediately postgame

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>said he was thrilled to get the win. He was

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>thrilled even more to be part of the win with

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.680
<v Speaker 1>some minutes and then of course thrilled for his twenty

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty draft classmate Tyrese Maxie, who he says he is

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>no longer surprised to see thriving on the level that

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 1>he has lately. You mentioned the Big Niang Theory with

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.079
<v Speaker 1>George Niang. The latest episode is out featuring Kate Scott,

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.959
<v Speaker 1>play by play announcer for the Philadelphia seventy six ers,

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and guard Shake Milton. That one came together pretty organically. Actually,

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 1>we knew we wanted to highlight Kate during Women's History Month.

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Shake actually volunteered to come on and join talking about

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>some of the inspirations that he's had in his life

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.559
<v Speaker 1>during and for Women's History Months. So Shake talked about

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Serena Williams, he talked about Angela Davis, he talked about

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.239
<v Speaker 1>his mother. Kate also talked about her mother and her upbringing.

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 1>So if you guys haven't checked out The Big Niang

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Theory with George Niang, search for that wherever you get

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>your podcast. We'd love to hear your feedback and would

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 1>love to hear who you guys want to see George

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>interview next. We have a lot of fun with those,

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.680
<v Speaker 1>So Matt appreciate the shout up appreciate, got a comment

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 1>from Rebecca, got a comment from Jay Smooth both about

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the Big Niang theory. So thank you so much for

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.200
<v Speaker 1>your comments and for your support. Matt, I want to pivot.

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready to talk about Wait, wait, no pivot, no pivot,

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 1>triple threat, don't pivot, don't pass it, don't shoot it.

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>We'll pass it to me. I wanted to read Mary's

0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>comment about the Big Niang theory because Mary said earlier

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 1>comment not question. Thanks to Miss Lauren Rosen, Miss Kate

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Scott at Sniper Shake and at George Niang twenty for

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>keeping it real on the Roadie loved your brutally honest

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>discussion of women in sports being overlooked and overcoming fear

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>on the latest Big Niang theory. Oh that's such a

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>good one. Thank you so much, Mary, and thank you

0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Matt for drawing attention to that. And then Winona kind

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 1>of echoed some stuff we've already talked about. But I

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to thank Winona for being here again. Winona said,

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm so proud of bball Paul. His commitment to his

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 1>game is showing. He was on fire on the glass.

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 1>That new locker room is fire I love how the

0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 1>team is finding the way to win. You can see

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>their defense change and they stay with it. So some

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>things we've already touched on, but we're in agreement on.

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I love to see it. Matt Murphy, I'm forcing the

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>pivot now. Tell us about the Bluecoats this afternoon. Police. Yeah,

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 1>so this will be dated. Should I make a playoff

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 1>prediction for the podcast listeners after the game has already happened? Well,

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess if you're a sixers in Bluecoats fan, you're

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 1>hoping that they're now preparing for a Sunday Eastern Conference

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Finals game in the G League. If you're not listening

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 1>prior to four pm on Thursday, which is their Eastern

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Conference semi final against the Wizard's affiliate, the Capitol City

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Go Go. It's single elimination, it's one game playoff games

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 1>in the g until the finals, which the Bluecoats have

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 1>been in each of the last two years. It's best

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>of three in the G League finals. They're looking to

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>get to the top of the mountain this year. And

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 1>as we were talking here today in the eleven o'clock

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>hour on the March thirtieth, ahead of their game, Jaden Springer,

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>who practiced with them yesterday, was with the Sixers, was

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 1>assigned back to the Bluecoats in all likelihood to play

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 1>in the playoff game, where he thrived as a rookie

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs last year on the way to the finals.

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>So best of luck to the Blue Coats. Hopefully they're

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 1>gaming up for another game if anyone's listening over the

0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>weekend here, but playoff time in the G League. Their

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>season ends a little bit before the NBA season does,

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>so best of luck to the Sixers G League affiliate.

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>That game for the live listeners is on National TV

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>at four pm Eastern on ESPN two. I know I

0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 1>will be watching for those of you who don't know.

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Matt Murphy a play by play voice of the Delaware

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 1>blue Coats all season long and has done such an

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>incredible job covering them and keeping you guys looped in

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 1>as well. We'll hope to see Jayden today. We'll hope

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that this lives on after our recording and into the

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>podcast sphere after a Bluecoats win. But in any haste,

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 1>of great season for the blue Coats, great to see

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 1>them fighting in the playoffs again, Lauren, I empathize with

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 1>our friend Kate Scott though, because it's the Bluecoats had

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 1>a first round by and now all of a sudden

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's national TV only. I will not be on

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the call this afternoon for the second round, but I

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 1>feel the pain of so many local NBA announcers once

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.760
<v Speaker 1>their team gets through the first round and they no

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 1>longer gets a broadcast. I know, well, Matt, we know

0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be on many national broadcasts for many

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 1>years to come. So patience, patience remains of virtue. Speaking

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>of patience, Sixers fans looking ahead to the playoffs, there's

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 1>about a week and a half left of regular season

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 1>play and then another week of play in tournament play

0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>before we can officially tip off the playoffs. The six Ers,

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>of course, have already clinched a spot. They hold the

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>number three seed now a couple of games back from

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the number two Celtics, a couple of games ahead of

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the number four Calves, so looking pretty settled into that

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 1>three spot, but of course, still plenty of time to

0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 1>move around in their six remaining games, which are as

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 1>follows hosting the Toronto Raptors Tomorrow night Friday night, depending

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 1>on when you're listening. At seven pm Eastern, and then

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.240
<v Speaker 1>they head back to Milwaukee, whereas you'll remember their last

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 1>win in Milwaukee perhaps one of their most if not

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 1>most impressive wins of this season a few weeks back

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 1>at Fiser Forum. So that'll be on Sunday evening. Then

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 1>they return home to play Boston and Miami. Then they

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>head back out on the road to close their season

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.880
<v Speaker 1>on the road the regular season. That is at Atlanta

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and at Brooklyn on April seventh and ninth. The playing

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 1>tournament comes after the playoffs to begin after that, Matt Murphy,

0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:52.359
<v Speaker 1>anything that you're particularly looking forward to in that slate

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.760
<v Speaker 1>as we wrap this one up. Yeah, some big matchups

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>both home and road. But it's good to have some

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.960
<v Speaker 1>home games mixed in after that month of March that

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.879
<v Speaker 1>everyone talked about leading up to it, during it, and

0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:08.159
<v Speaker 1>now through it with mostly road games. There was a

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>tweet from LaToya earlier that said three point shooting kept

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:15.359
<v Speaker 1>the team in the game last night. Great atmosphere in

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the building, and that continues into this Toronto game, which

0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 1>is home Friday at seven. Like you said, NBC Sports

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Philly ninety seven five the Fanatic, they're five hundred. Their

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.920
<v Speaker 1>record right now at thirty eight and thirty eight as

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 1>we speak, we know Tyrese Maxie has had one of

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:32.919
<v Speaker 1>his biggest games of his career or some of if

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you include the playoffs against the Toronto Raptors. And he

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.719
<v Speaker 1>has been shooting it quite well in the month of

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.639
<v Speaker 1>March fifty one percent from three point range in his

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:48.040
<v Speaker 1>sixteen games thus far. That's top five in the NBA

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.959
<v Speaker 1>for those with enough attempts. And you talk to him

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.840
<v Speaker 1>recently on the road about how well he's been shooting

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.120
<v Speaker 1>it away from home, but overall he's looking to keep

0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that number above fifty from three some home games now involved. Yeah,

0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 1>he's been pretty phenomenal. Forty six point six percent from

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.240
<v Speaker 1>three on the road this season, forty two point seven

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>percent from three overall this season. And remember that's a

0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:15.159
<v Speaker 1>lot of that considers getting in and out of rhythm.

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Of course, missing six weeks due to injury, going to

0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the bench, coming back into the starting lineup, and managing

0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 1>to continue improving from three all the while he's been

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.679
<v Speaker 1>doing it his whole career. Big games you mentioned it

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 1>against the Toronto Raptors. Has Tyrese Maxie had over the

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:29.919
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years so looking forward to tomorrow night

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.119
<v Speaker 1>and beyond. If you're listening on the seventy six Ers
