0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm Matt Murphy and this is the seventy Sixers Scoop

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>from the seventy six Ers Podcast Network for Wednesday, December eighth,

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one. Please to be joined by Sixers insider

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Devon Gibbons of ninety seven five The Fanatic and on

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>these editions of the seventy Sixers Scoop, we take a

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>quick look back at the previous game with our takeaways,

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.319
<v Speaker 1>and then we look ahead at something or someone to

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>watch for in the next seventy six Ers game this week.

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Just so happens that the previous game in the next

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>game are the same team, the Charlotte Hornets. Last night

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>a one twenty seven, one twenty four overtime win for

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers on the road over the Hornets, the first

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>of two straight. There, what did you take from it? Divon?

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 1>Good to be back, Matt, I have a scoop for

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you and everyone. Joel Embiid is really good forty three

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and fifteen last night on Monday Night in that game

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>and shott the first of two, and he did what

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 1>superstars to do and he stepped up. His efficiency from

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>the field was fantastic and only missed five shots getting

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to the free throw line as well, leading the team

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>and assists was seven. He did it all, and this

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>game needed overtime, and in times like that, you need

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>your big time players to step up in that spot,

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and he did exactly that. No, Tyrese, Maxie and the

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>guys played well around dwell mb But for me, that

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>was what really stood out him getting back to himself

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>after struggling for a few games since his return from

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>the health and safety protocols. As you said, it went

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>to overtime, and I know NBA games are a game

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of runs, so pointing as my takeaway to the second

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 1>quarter doesn't make the most sense. But it was an

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 1>impressive second quarter that I took away for the Philadelphia

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>seventy six Ers, just for the offense to show a

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>forty four point effort in one twelve minute period. That

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>was a new season high for this year's seventy six ers.

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>It was thirty nine against the Bucks in the first

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>quarter at home. Now it's forty four in that second

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.559
<v Speaker 1>quarter against the Hornets. You know in this matchup, they're

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be a lot of points score. That's kind

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of how the Hornets operate, and the Sixers matched them

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>last night particularly with that big second frame. The Sixers

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>are now thirteen and eleven, the Hornets are now fourteen

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>and twelve. There will be a rematch on Wednesday night

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>if you're listening to this on time seven pm Eastern

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday, same place in Charlotte. What is something that

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you or someone that you are watching for? In that one,

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>it's more of something as a team as a whole,

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>where they had twenty less field goal attempts than the

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte Hornets. Now, while the Sixers issue fifty three percent,

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>in Charlotte shot fifty five percent. I would like that

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 1>number to be a little bit closer as far as

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the discrepancy in Charlotte having more opportunities than the Sixers,

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and part of that can go to the fifteen turnovers

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>that the Sixers had versus the eight that the Charlotte

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Hornets had on Monday night. So if they can clean

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>up their turnovers again and their numbers have been low

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>and fifteen pretty good for an NBA game. However, when

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you see how it all played out, getting to the

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 1>overtime and then checking the stats at the end and saying, wow,

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize Charlotte had twenty more opportunities to put

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>points on the board. That's something that I would hope

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>that they can clean up by Wednesday. Thirty six of

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers field goal attempts were from beyond the arc.

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.359
<v Speaker 1>They did make forty two percent. But the players I'm

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>looking for in the next game are Seth Curry and

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>fur Coon Corkmas. Neither player made a three, so the

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>team made fifteen without getting a make from either of

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>those two guys from long distance. And that's what those

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>guys do so well. So Seth Curry and fur Con

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Corkmas are the Sixers players that I am looking for

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>in the Sixers Hornets rematch on Wednesday at seven o'clock.

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 1>So looking forward to that one. Thanks as always, Divine,

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>It's always great to have you, always good to be

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>with you, Matt, Thank you. Closing this edition of the

0:03:55.600 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers scoop out with this. As of early Tuesday evening,

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the same five Hornets who missed Monday's game due to

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>health and safety protocols are expected to miss the next

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>game as well. That's LaMelo Ball, Jalen McDaniels, Mason Plumley,

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Terry Rogier, and Ish Smith. Tyrese Maxi non COVID illness

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>was listed as questionable for the Sixers. The uniforms will

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>look different this time around, with the Sixers in their

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 1>red statement additions and the Hornets in their Teal Icon

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:35.239
<v Speaker 1>edition uniforms. The Philadelphia seventy Sixers and the Charlotte Hornets

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:39.679
<v Speaker 1>again with the Sixers going for three straight overall seven

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.680
