We will break 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:36.320 down the win for the Sixers over the Brooklyn Nets 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:40.000 this edition of Twitter Spaces. If you're listening on time, 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:43.200 the game was last night. We do post these as podcasts, 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.680 which is why I say that on the seventy Sixers 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:50.800 podcast Network. But the Thursday night win over the Brooklyn 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:54.640 Nets one one, two, three straight road wins, a three 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:58.440 game winning streak all on the road for the Philadelphia 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.920 seventy Sixers, and an exclamation point to the trip. Lauren 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.560 with the win over Brooklyn. Yes, good morning, good morning, 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.880 good morning. Last one for the year twenty twenty one. 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:11.640 I don't know about you, guys, but I'm very okay 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.080 with turning the page and hopeful about what's coming in 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.960 twenty twenty two. The Sixers, of course, moving on to 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.920 the new year with a perfect road trip into so 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:23.920 very excited to see what the guys were able to 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:28.479 do while in Washington, Toronto, and most importantly perhaps Brooklyn 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.760 last night quite the victory. Without further ado, let's look 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:36.280 back at last night's win and some notables from the 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.440 stat sheet. Like Matt said, if you have questions though, 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.520 while I read you guys some awesome statistics from last night, 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.120 please send them to me. You can click on my 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.760 icon send me a dm. Dms are always open during 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.880 Twitter spaces. Matt Murphy, you can send him to him. 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.760 You can send him to the Sixers and we will 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.480 get straight into your questions momentarily. So the Sixers last 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.559 night headed to Brooklyn looking for their third straight, looking 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.200 to cap a perfect road trip, get word that Doc 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.480 Rivers enters health and safety protocols earlier in the day. 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.280 Assistant coach Dan Burke steps up to run the group, 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.560 and Dan Burke had coached as a head coach a 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.600 couple times during his long tenure in Indiana, but he 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.119 was yet to win as a head coach, and last 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:19.440 night the Sixers delivered their man, Dan Burke, quite a victory. 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.880 Joel Ebie leads away thirty four points. Joel Embie leads 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.360 away thirty four points, seven rebounds and assist, three steals 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:31.160 and a block. Tyrese Maxie twenty five points, seven rebounds, 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:35.919 for assists, and Tyrese hits a career high five threes. 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.120 He was five for eight from deep, ten for eighteen 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:44.399 from the field. Seth Curry seventeen points, six assists, three rebounds. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.960 Andre Drummond returns from health and safety protocols and finishes 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.560 with a ten point ten rebound double double. Five of 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.480 those ten rebounds come on the offensive glass. George Yang 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.239 another awesome performance off the bench, nine points for rebounds 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:01.000 and a couple huge threes late, as did Tyrese Maxie 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.280 have a couple of huge threes in that second half 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.440 and fourth quarter that kept the Sixers hanging around, beating 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.480 the best in the East Brooklyn Nets on the road 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.639 and taking quite the victory into the new year. Matt, 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.600 what was your favorite moment from last night's game? I 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.519 wanted to make that the question of the day, so 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.760 thanks for teeing it up. It seems general, but there 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.600 were so many moments that I think you could pick 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.440 in the win over Brooklyn for the Sixers as your 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:33.520 favorite moment, So message me or Lauren if you want 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.240 and let us know or tweet us your favorite moment 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.840 and we'll shout some of those out. I think there's 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:43.160 a few different contenders. It could be Joel's and one 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.480 at the end to really seal the deal and start 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.160 the celebration, or any of his other end ones. It 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.320 feels like he had a million in the game. It 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:57.520 could be any which of Tyrese Maxie's clutch shots, what else? 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.280 Dan Burke the celebration for his first win would be 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:05.920 a good candidate. The defense forcing eighteen turnovers. I'm just 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.440 spitballing here. Everyone else is going to have to think 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:14.000 about some other options. I will select. I'm gonna go 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.159 with Tyrese Maxie's play down the stretch. Look, Joel Embiid 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.320 was great on the radio. I did give him our 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.800 Player of the Game afterwards because in a game with 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.200 so many great players, he comes away with a game 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.039 high scoring total of thirty four points. I mean, Harden 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.799 and Durant had thirty three each, but Joel was dominant. 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.680 They would throw him the ball, they would clear out, 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.040 he would really bully his way underneath and score and 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.400 draw fouls and finish and had that bucket. That was 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.760 so energizing to make it one, one, o two with 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.360 a free throw and then at the end and that 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.400 really started the celebration. Like I said, but I'm gonna 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.920 go with Tyrese Maxi, the twenty one year old down 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.280 the stretch and his three point shooting in the game. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.039 He stepped in and hit a huge shot as well 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.000 to extend the lead to eight in the final minute. 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.719 I'm gonna go with Tyrese's clutch play. What about you, well, 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.760 he took the words right out of my mouth. I 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.680 want to just go ahead and reiterate what Tyrese had 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.159 to say following the game. He talked to Tom McGinnis 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.640 and Mark Jackson immediately following the game in if you 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.400 haven't been plugged in on Twitter, which I think if 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.160 you're in Twitter spaces you have been. But Joel gave 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.080 Tyrese a little bit of flak for his performance in Toronto. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.080 Of course, Tyrese still managed to get it done and 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.840 helped the team to victory in Toronto, but Tyrise gave 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.080 him a little bit of grief for not shooting quite 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.600 as well from the field as he usually does. So 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:38.400 Tyrese immediately addresses Joel's comments from the previous game. Following 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.720 the win last night in Brooklyn, Tyrese says, last game, 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.000 Joel told me I was trash. I told him, by 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:44.960 God him this game. So I just went out there 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.440 and tried my hardest for my teammates. The chemistry that 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.680 those two are developing encourt off court, the big brother 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.200 little brother relationship that we've seen as the two of 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.400 them continue to choose to do media together over the 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.000 last few games, I think has been really tremendous to 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.320 watch a really excited signed for two players. I Mean, 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.400 we talk about Tyrese Maxie's youth at twenty one years old, 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.440 but Joel Embe it's still a very young man with 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.400 some of his best years ahead of him. So looking 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.359 forward to watching the two of them continue to develop 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.080 their chemistry. But if I can't use Tyrese as my 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.400 favorite moment, I think I'm gonna have to go with 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:21.000 Dan Burke's locker room celebration following his first win as 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.760 a head coach. If you haven't already seen it, make 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.880 sure you go to the Sixers the six Ers Twitter page. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.680 Our very own, very talented Nick McCain was in the 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:33.000 locker room shooting the moment when the players were able 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.719 to embrace dan Burke for his first win as he 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.600 stepped in for Doc Rivers in a high pressure situation, 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.240 and certainly did the head coach perroud. It was awesome 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.800 to watch the guys embrace one another and embrace Dan Burke, who, 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.880 by the way, is one of the kindest, most thoughtful 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.360 humans in this league. I've really enjoyed getting to know 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.599 Dan Burke is sort of a peripheral member of the staff. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.039 He's just a wonderful person and so exciting to see 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.320 good things happen to good people. So I think I'm 0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.479 gonna have to go with that one. If you haven't 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.159 watched it yet, if you want to close your twenty 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.280 twenty one with some wholesome content, make sure you check 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.400 out that page. It's on the Sixers Instagram, It's on 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.599 the Sixers Twitter. I've retweeted it. Nick McCain, who captured 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:10.480 the moment, has retweeted it. So make sure you're following 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.600 all those people and checking out that video because it 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.320 was a really wholesome one in a great way to 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.320 end the year. Matt, I'm having some questions roll in. 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.040 I don't know if you are, if you have anything 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.360 to add about Dan Burke, But if not, I think 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.160 we can shove into questions question some question of the 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.080 day responses and you can keep telling us what you 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:36.200 enjoyed the most from the Sixers Nets game in Brooklyn. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.360 One that we didn't really touch on is after the 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:45.360 final buzzer sounded, Joelmbid kind of returning the favor to 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:50.360 Kevin Durant and it started like a wave or back 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.600 to the Chicago Bulls game when Joel waved to the crowd. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.280 This was a little different. This was two weeks ago. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.679 Kevin Durant kind of sent the Sixers off the court, 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.120 wave them off the court, rather than Joel waving to 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.880 the crowd. He kind of sent Kevin Durant and the 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.280 Nets off their home court, which was and I say 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.040 kind of. He did wave them off their home court, 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.240 and then there was a scene with the thumbs up. 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.760 It was all really exciting and fun to watch. That 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.960 is a good pick by New Wave, who sent me 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.360 a message saying, Joejoe waving KD off the court. This 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.440 was in Brooklyn and this all went down after the game. Yeah, 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.640 I loves to see, I mean. And then love to. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.560 Of course hear Kevin Durant afterwards and weel and did 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.440 you talk about the mutual respect that the two of 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.160 them have. What a pleasure it's been to watch the 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:38.720 two of them go back and forth in these two 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.440 most recent games at Brooklyn. Of course, Kevin Durant proved 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:42.719 to be the closer in the first one, and a 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.520 Bed proved to get the better of mister Durant in 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.079 the second one. So really cool to see two of 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.440 the game's greatest right now going head to head. Looking 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.400 forward to the fourth and final matchup between these two 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:55.120 teams and maybe hopefully fingers crossed another playoff series with 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.000 the Nets, but the new look Nets, because they're a 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.320 fun team and the Sixers have proven that they're able 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.680 to get up against some of the best teams in 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:07.199 this league. Bill Hayter's favorite moment from last night's game 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.320 and Bead feeding the ball to Maxie, who hit a three, 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.200 was my favorite moment. He knew Maxie was hot and 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.960 he opted to feed him the ball. Chef kiss Emoti, 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.080 I agree, that's a trust, that chemistry that we've talked about. 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.560 Joel finding Tyrese, Tyrese finding Joel, the two of them 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.200 holding each other accountable on the court, off the court, 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.920 building that chemistry on and off the floor. It's going 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.400 to be a theme that we continue to talk about 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.800 as Tyrese Maxie continues to grow into the player that 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.320 he's become, and as Joel and Bead continues to grow 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.120 into the leader that he's become. Really cool to see 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.360 the two of them finding one another. Bill Hayter, I 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.959 agree with you. Those corner threes from Tyrese down the 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.600 stretch really exciting to see him add that to his 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.079 game and do it so confidently because it's going to 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:46.839 help the Sixers. Is going to pay dividends as the 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.320 season continues and as the team gets down the stretch 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:54.120 and into the playoffs. Matt Murphy, any other moments you 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:55.680 want to shout out or should we move on to 0:09:55.720 --> 0:10:01.480 other questions? I have one right now. Mary's favorite moment 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.760 was the maximbiad celebratory chess bump, and that was captured, 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.160 like you said on the if you go to the 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:13.920 art at Sixers Twitter account, Nick McCain, and the final 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.400 play of the ambid and one, it's a really good 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:22.280 angle for the that Maxie Mbad chess bump. Mary also 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:26.200 said loved the locker room celebration with coach Dan Burke, 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:31.640 and on the TV call, Tom McGinnis said that coaches 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.440 never forget and pregame, dan Burke was asked if he 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:39.319 had served as a head coach before, and he had 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.560 in Indiana twice in his twenty two years there, and 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:47.160 he kind of revealed, unprompted, that the games were against 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.000 Golden State and at Charlotte and that he lost both 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.360 of them. He was like, are you going to ask 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.959 me what my record was? And he then just told everyone. 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.520 So for him to get his first win and for 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:01.480 the players to be so happy for him was awesome. 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.240 I have so many more questions that I want to 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:10.320 start diving into, so let's go to yo An. Yo 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.640 An says, what are your thoughts on Drummond's work last night? 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.520 Strong minutes considering the fact he just came back from 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.920 health and safety protocols. Matt Murphy, what did you make 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.640 of Andre's return to the court last night? Launching that 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.560 ten point, ten rebound double double, five offensive boards and 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:29.319 a lot of energy. Drummond was huge and Embiid had 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.520 sixteen points in the first quarter, So he comes out 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.640 of the game and you're like, is there going to 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.000 be any sort of drop off, and not saying that 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.000 I anticipated that, but Andre Drummond a lot of his 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.200 strong work came early in the game off the bench, 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.439 so that was a huge lift. The Sixers, of course, 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:53.240 started embiid with Harris Thible, Curry and Maxie and the 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.320 bench players who played last night were Drummond with ten points, 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.120 Niang with nine, Shake and fur Con played eleven in 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:04.400 eighteen minutes, respectively. They did not score, but Drummond's ten 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.320 and ten were huge, and m bead for every end 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.960 one he had. Drummond had a couple as well. Just 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.800 rim running, running the floor in general is something Dan 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.599 Burke touched on after the game, getting back on defense. 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.960 Big presence then and there was no sort of drop off, 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.160 and Drummond came right in and coming off and Beads 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:28.680 hot start. You needed Drummond to start well off the bench, 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.480 and he did. Yeah. The Drummond Blake Griffin matchup not 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.640 something that if you told me a few years ago 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.360 that I'd watched the two of them facing off on 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.360 the six Ers and the nets, respectively, I don't know 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:39.560 if I would have believed you, But it was a 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.400 pleasure to watch two of the greats really go at 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.160 each other. And I really thought that Andre looked fresh, 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.360 he looked sharp, he looked really excited to be back, 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.319 of course, coming off of about two weeks away due 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.120 to health and safety protocols, Andre's last game was actually 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:57.040 at the Nets on December sixteenth. He returns on December 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.839 thirtieth and does truly a great job back up Joel Embiad, 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.240 which is something that he has a challenge that he's 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:07.240 taken on and shown some really good stuff all season long. 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.080 Let's get into a few more cool questions. This one's 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.920 not a question, it's a comment, but Tony says, as 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.880 it relates to Joel Embiid, you're seeing a more versatile Wilt. 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.200 I've loved, loved, loves seeing the praise that Joel Embiid 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.040 has gotten recently. He perhaps gets lost a little bit 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.000 in MVP talks sometimes, and whether that's because of injury 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:27.959 or because of his time this season a way due 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.280 to health and safety protocol I believe that Joel is 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:34.920 pretty sufficiently overlooked when it comes to the MVP conversation. 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.880 But his last six games have been truly tremendous. I'm 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:39.959 not going to read through his entire stats from the 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.679 last few games, but I'll give a couple highlight performances. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.280 In his last three games, He's had thirty four, thirty six, 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:50.199 thirty six, twenty three, forty one, and thirty two points. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.199 But in all of those games, he said steals, he 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.840 said blocks. He's getting it done on both ends of 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.800 the floor. It's been really tremendous to watch Joel embead 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.000 in his prime and to watch him having a little 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.240 bit more fun out there and celebrating big, big victories. 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.240 I'm thinking of the Atlanta victory. I'm thinking of the 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.480 victory last night. Watching Joel Embiid be really excited about 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.000 what his team is doing to meet is extremely heartening. 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:12.800 Because Joel has said over the years that he's playing 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:16.120 his best basketball when he's having fun. He looks certainly 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:22.400 like he's having fun. Somebody wants to talk Seth Curry 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:27.480 as well. Sam the Sixers fan thought Seth Curry was 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:32.080 beyond valuable in the win last night, mainly to Joel Embiid. 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.880 Joel had twenty two points heading into half, and both 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.240 Tobias Harris and Seth Curry to that point had combined 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.080 for just eight points. One of those two had to 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.080 take some of the load, but Curry thrived in the 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.840 pick and roll in two man game with Joel Embiid. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.240 Not to mention, dan Burke had him running the point 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.440 for a moment in time. Obviously his shots were huge, 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.240 But to kick off the road trip, Curry had nine 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.760 assists in DC, five in Toronto and now six along 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.600 with seventeen points last night. What have you seen out 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.920 of the role he's adopted over this road trip. I 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.960 think Seth Curry is a good place to go. Lauren, 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.239 What did you see from Seth? I think the assists 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:12.800 that Sam the Sixers fan mentions are notable as well, 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.120 But coming out of the locker room with a couple 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:20.320 of made shots to get going, I agree that it 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.240 was a slow first half for Seth and came right 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.240 out of the locker room and found his shot. Yep. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.080 Seth had four points in the first half, but seventeen 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.080 points overall. And we've given a lot of credit, a 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.080 lot of well earned credit to Dan Burke. But something 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:35.800 else we should give Hi credit for is a continuity 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.640 that he's brought compared to how Doctor Reverts has been 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.040 running this team all season long. Doc talked about wanting 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.240 to use Seth Moore in a point guard role, in 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.040 a facilitator role, and we saw that continuity last night 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.840 as Dan Burke put the ball in Seth's hands for 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.160 a lot of that second half. Really enjoyed the way 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.200 that Seth good shooters keep shooting. We say it all 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:57.480 the time, and Seth certainly up that descriptor tag certainly 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.120 applies to Seth Curry. Awesome to see his confidence growing. 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.560 Seeing a lot a lot of comments. I mean, so guys, 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.080 when you guys all send the same comments, I'm never 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.000 picking favorites. I'm just trying to read everything in an 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.360 efficient way. So I'm seeing a lot of messages about Tyres, 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.560 Maxie and Joel Embiad as a duo. It's something that 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.560 we've talked about already today, but something that I think 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.360 deserves a little bit more shine. Drew says, Maxie and Joe, 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.720 is this the new super duo? It could be. They're 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.760 both so young, they're both so talented. They're both continuing 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.000 to add to their games. Tyrese perhaps on a bigger 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.840 trajectory compared to what we saw last season, even what 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:36.920 we saw from Tyrese at the beginning of this season, 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.280 he's a sponge, he's soaking it up. He's adding to 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.080 his game on a game by game basis. And Joel 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.960 Ebead on the other hand, already an MVP caliber candidate 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:51.040 MVP caliber player, continues to add to his game every offseason. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:55.240 It's something he prides himself on, but really refining his skills, 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.560 finishing in traffic, making sure he's passing out of doubles. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.560 Last night we saw a lot of one on one 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:04.159 coverage against Joel Risky by Venettes and Joel of course 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.320 taking full advantage. So the two of them together, the 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.639 ceiling is really really high. The two of them were 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.600 catching a little bit of heat a few games ago 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.720 about where their chemistry was or how well they could 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.560 play together. Of course, some stats will always tell you 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.359 what you want to hear, and then those that didn't 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.000 think that they were going to play well together, we're 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.800 finding the stats that they wanted to support that claim. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.000 And my take at that point was that these guys 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.760 needed more time together. Tyres of course played great when 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.400 Joel was out, but Joel was out for a long time, 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.000 and when he comes back into the lineup. Tyrese then 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:37.280 misses a few games with that left quad contusion. So 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.560 now to see the two of them having quality minutes 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.920 in quality matchups together figuring it out, clearly developing chemistry 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.160 off the court as well, it's been a pleasure to watch. 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.760 I'm so excited about what's to come for those two. 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:50.880 So the new super duo. I don't know if that's 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:55.399 necessarily fair quite yet considering how young this partnership is, 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:59.280 but certainly potential to be a super duo in this league. Matt, 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.639 what have you liked about the two man game that 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.880 the two of them are developing, maybe the off court chemistry. 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.359 What have you seen out of tyres and Joel together 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.920 press conference Gold For one, it's been fun to see that. 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.560 You kind of talked about it already. I touched on 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:18.280 Tyrese's clutch play and Joel with the double teams the 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.919 game before Toronto. It's like he catches the ball and 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:26.199 Malachi Flynn is sprinting down every single time and against 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.680 the nets, Joel catches it and most of the time, 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.119 like you said, he picks his eyes up and there's 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.440 not two players there sometimes and it's at that point 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.000 where he either takes the jumper or jab steps or 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:43.080 really just pulleys his way down low and scores. And 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.000 last night he had a little bit more room to 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.440 operate when they would kind of clear out on one 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:51.280 side of the floor. Again here on Twitter spaces, send 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.199 us your questions or thoughts about the game. A lot 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:56.639 of people have been submitting their favorite moment from the 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.520 one ten, one h two win by the Sixers over 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:01.600 the nets. To complete the three and O road trip. 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.760 You can do that. You can send us a new question, 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.080 click on our icons at the top, send us a 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.160 d tweet reply to the Sixers tweet. We'll look through 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:15.560 those as well. Got a message from PS saying Niang 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:19.200 huge night. We can talk about George Niang as well, 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:23.560 because then Gina says, not directly related to last night 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.639 unless you count reactions. But it's been so great to 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.159 see Niang and Drummond and the new guys embracing the 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.200 fans and the city. Like one hundred and fifty percent 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.920 and I one hundred and fifty percent agree with that. 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:38.560 It's been fun to watch. Niang had a more than 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:42.000 a couple big shots, big threes last night in the 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.639 wind he sure did. It's been awesome to see George 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.760 come back. He also missed almost two weeks due to 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.960 health and safety protocols, come back in with a nineteen 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:58.280 point performance at Toronto with a with a nineteen point 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.879 performance at Toronto, with an nine point four rebound performance 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.440 at Brooklyn. Shooting the ball really confidently and making sure 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.440 that even when he misses, he's not afraid to continue shooting. 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.800 And that's something that he's talked about quite a bit. 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:13.160 It's how he's going to make an impact on this team. 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.800 He's a player that really knows his role, and his role, 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:17.400 of course, is to make threes, but like you said, 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.280 it's also to bring a lot of energy, and he 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.479 certainly brings that in dividends every time he gets out 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.159 there on the court. I don't think I've seen anyone 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.560 talk as much trash as George Niang does. He's so 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:31.199 much fun to watch. I'm very curious about what he 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.200 was saying to the Brooklyn bench. He made a couple 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.040 of he made a couple of threes and turned around 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:37.840 to have some words with folks on the Brooklyn bench. 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.120 And if I could have had a micd up moment there, 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.160 I would have loved to hear it because George, of course, 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.280
