We'll be right 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.680 back after this. Brian Selzer will join us with postgame coverage. 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.560 We'll hear from Brett Brown outside of the Sixers locker room, 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.960 as the Sixers are now seven and oh at home 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.559 here at the center of the year. They're now eight 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.840 and five overall. Charlotte little loss at even five hundred 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.240 that snapped a mini two game winning streak for them. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.600 They're two and four on the road and through a 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.360 dozen games, six and six back with more Sixers by 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.680 a point in ot This is the Sixers Radio Network, 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:19.120 the Sixers Station ninety seven five, the Fanatic. The Sixers 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.560 pull it off in overtime one thirty three two, one 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:27.519 thirty two. Unbelievable ball game, and Bead was just absolutely stupendous. 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.200 He made eleven field goals, nineteen free throws. He had 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:37.120 eighteen rebounds, four blocks, four assists, forty two points. And 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.040 he is our Independence Blue Cross player the game Independence 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.480 Blue Cross, Live Fearless and get their power of Independence 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.640 at IBX dot com. So there was a sequence late 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:51.000 in overtime where the Sixers call time out with seven 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.239 seconds having elapsed on the clock, in other words, before 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.040 they got it into mid court, and I was saying, 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.080 they have to get it in. Well, what happens when 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.000 you call back the back timeouts. That second time out 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.679 is the one that allows you to advance the ball 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.560 into the front court. So that's what happened. That's why 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.600 the Sixers will able to inbound the ball. I spent 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.480 the better part of a break going over that scenario, 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.880 and it turned out with that second time out. Then 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.880 that allows you to advance it into the front court, 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.560 and that negated that potential dilemma or difficult situation for 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:25.639 the Sixers. But they pull it off. Kemba Walker. Just 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.800 to watch him after the game, a bent down, leaning 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.880 over and an elegant take three. I can only imagine 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.160 everything that was going through him in terms of frustration, 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.840 like he pushed himself to the limit, and again you 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.680 leave the game with a mid back sprain or a 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.400 back issue. To come out and continue to play and 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.200 have the fourth quarter that he did, I mean, he 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.880 scored I believe nineteen points in the fourth quarter. He 0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:00.200 was incredible. He's without question, one of the most entertaining 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.600 and best players in the NBA. Kemba Walker of the 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.920 Charlotte Hornets brought them right to the precipice of the victory. 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.800 But Joellen beat and Ben Simmons and the Sixers turn 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.320 them away. And now the Sixers are three games over, 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.000 five hundred and eight and five seven and oh here 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.600 at home, and oh, by the way, the Sixers are 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.480 going on the road. They are headed down to the 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.960 Mississippi to Memphis, Tennessee in the mid South, and they'll 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.120 take on the Grizzlies tomorrow night at eight o'clock. So 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.799 when be with a forty two point game. Walker finished 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.960 with thirty points, nine assist, seven rebounds. Ben Simmons had 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.160 twenty two point, thirteen assists and eight rebounds. He had 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.880 a huge drive down the stretch, three blocks and two 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.600 steals for Ben as well. Sixers win the game by 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.839 a single point. Full postgame coverage coming up from Brian Seltzer. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.920 First that we pause and we'll be back after this. 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:57.440 You're home for the Sixers. Ninety seven five star players 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.760 step up for their teams when they game is on 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.279 the line. At the risk of overstating the obvious, but 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:09.200 get this. Walker had twenty two of his points in 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:13.200 the fourth quarter and overtime. Kemba Walker who struggled early 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.279 in the game. He ended up with thirty total and 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.760 twenty two of them came in the fourth quarter in overtime. 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.120 It bad went twenty points in fourth quarter overtime at 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.040 one point in the fourth at eleven in the row 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.760 and b with a career high nineteen made free throws 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.320 a little bit past the top of the hour. But 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.480 we're still gonna pause for ten seconds for station identification. 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.880 Only place to hear Mike Missinelli every weekday from to 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:41.440 Listen seventy seven five the fanatic kem upe N Burlington, Philadelphia, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:46.479 broadcasting from the Exfinity Studio only from Comcast. These Sixers 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:50.520 work overtime and beat Charlotte by a point one thirty three, 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.200 one thirty two. It was military appreciation Tonight at Night 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.360 presented by Toyota and a sellout crowd twenty thousand, four 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.960 hundred and twenty four on hand, and they really helped 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.680 the Sixers down the stretch. Seven and oh now at 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.840 home for the Sixers in bead with an incredible night 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:13.080 in many areas including forty two points, eighteen rebounds, four assists, 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.480 four blocks. Simmons twenty two points, thirteen assists, eight rebounds. 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.120 JJ Reddick was seventeen, which is writ in line with 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.520 what he averages coming to the had seven points, four blocks, 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.240 three rebounds. He had five fouls and was able to 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.839 play down the stretch. He had two key plays where 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.520 Charlotte appeared to have a layup. It was in the 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.880 half court, but it was still like a breakaway layup, 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.440 and he was able to knock the ball once off 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.159 Walker and once off Malik Monk, and he did that 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.040 with five fouls and that led the turnovers. But the 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.200 turnover difference in the game, the Sixers had ten more turnovers, 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.400 and this was from the onset where this was a 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.720 glaring differential. And in the end, the points off turnovers 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.960 favored Charlotte. They scored thirty one points off the six 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.960 or seven turnovers and the Sixers had seven points. So 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.719 think of that, thirty one points off the Sixers turn overs, 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.920 but the Sixers got fifty points in the paint. They 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.080 made a dozen threes, did a turnmentous job in fast 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.840 break points going on eleven of twelve.

The Sixers postgame Show right now 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:26.240 on ninety seven five The Fanatic. The seventy Sixers survive 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.480 in overtime one thirty three, one thirty two over the 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.440 Charlotte Hornets, second straight win, fourth and the last five. 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.800 Joel Ebad forty two points eighteen rebounds, outlasting Kemba Walker 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.160 in his thirty my name is Brian Seltral. It's here 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:46.160 now in progress from Brett Brown three point shot, you know, 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.040 and Kemba does that. Kemba really does that. We started 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:53.200 blitzing him at the end of regulation. But you know, 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.920 in general, I think that when you look at like 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.079 the the the what was it a thirty five point 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.480 third period? You know, I think they had six or 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.440 seven threes in that period. And when we spoke at 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.200 the start of the game, you know, we all came 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.079 in and said, what is It's the three point line 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:14.679 and some offensive rebounding thing in Kemba. Um, they they 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.040 put points up, they're hard to guard, and he's really 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:26.800 hard to guard, not really, d not really, you know. 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.480 I I brought him back probably, I mean it would 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.880 sound like really, but it's true, probably forty five seconds 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.680 a minute, maybe a minute earlier than I would normally 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.600 in that fourth period. And then you know, you get 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:45.280 into overtime and you do what what what what we do? Um? 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.640 But no, I wished I didn't have to play him 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:57.640 that many minutes five minutes of time. But we're see. 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.000 I mean, I did feel like there were some times 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:02.880 we could have put the put the game away, put 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:07.320 the game away. I thought, in general, you know, we uh, 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.280 I mean, I'd like to say we guarded better than 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.000 the stat lines are showing. I think that we rebounded 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.760 quite well. You know. I think that that we we 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.880 found a way to win. And that's sort of the 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.280 simplest way you can say it. I think we were 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.360 you know, they were up five with a minute seventeen, 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.560 and you know, to the guy's credit, we we we 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.920 executed some stuff on side out of bounds. You know, 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.040 we went ran a quick play that Joel, the three 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.480 point shot that Joel made. You know, it's a little 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.160 bit broken up, but the guys did well. I give 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.800 them credit. But in general, to be in that position 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.040 after holding a twenty one point lead, you know, you 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:51.280 you leave here, you know, happy for sure for the win, 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.960 but not like this is great. We're right on track. 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.800 We're doing some good things, but we uh, we got 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:11.920 a long ways to go. Stuff. Um maybe you know 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.400 my answers normally is let's try to hoist Joel. You know, 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.200 let's put JJ in, Ben in some stuff. Let's bring 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.840 you know, JJ off Pinned down. Scoring is not the problem, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.959 you know, I'm happy with one hundred and thirty three points. Um, 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.040 you know, and I feel like some of the the 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.360 the shots that we missed, you know, you'd like to 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.920 have back. But maybe like I didn't feel that. I 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.040 felt the pain of defense. I felt the pain of kemba. 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.000 I felt the three point pain way more than than 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.160 I did. We were struggling to score. Um, I felt 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.040 like we missed shots, but I felt like a lot 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.680 of them were good looks. Seventy six Ers head coach 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.319 Brett Brown after tonight's one thirty three, one thirty two 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.760 victory of the Charlotte Hornets. Seventy six Ers now eight 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.679 and five on the season, Charlotte six and six. This 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.800 one went to overtime. I had to pause for a 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.400 second trying I think of the right adjectives use to 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:09.240 describe this game. Grind it out for certain, resilient in 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.240 some ways, yes, survival mode for sure, as you heard 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.080 in those comments from Brett Brown, or maybe you just 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.200 jumped in the car and are tuning in at this 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.040 very moment. Six was led by twenty one points in 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.360 the third quarter, and all of a sudden, with thunder 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.079 a minute and a half to go in the fourth quarter, 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.400 they were down one seventeen to one twelve. But of 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.840 all the great gifts that Joel Embid gives, there are 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.360 a plentiful mendy. He gets the foul line and is 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.920 just get to the foul line. He makes his shots, 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.840 and he doesn't just make his shots, he makes them 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.520 at an exceptionally efficient rate. Tonight he was nineteen to 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.679 twenty two from the free throw line in a game 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.680 that featured a bunch of twists and turns. I don't 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.360 want to simplify things too much, but to a largely 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.440 that won the six of the game. Forty two points 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:57.480 eighteen rebounds were joelt totally dependable and bankable. Between the 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.640 fourth and overtime periods, Joellen Beads, scoring twenty one of 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.160 his forty two points during that stretch. He was also 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.439 a fourteen of sixteen from the line during that period 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.040 of the game. Just amazing from the big man. He 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.640 was a third leading scorer coming to tonight. Kemba Walker 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.520 was the second in the league. Walker went for thirty 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.000 twenty two of those after the third quarter. So you 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.200 have two all stars going back and forth, and the 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.679 seventy sixers, as Brett said, they rebounded the ball better. 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.480 They were plus seven on the glass, their defense locked 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.360 in when it had to. Turnovers still an issue in 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.679 tonight's game, but the Sixers remain undefeated at home. They 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.360 win their second straight, fourth out of the last five. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.120 Still unbeaten at the Center, and you know what, it's 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.200 going to be a tough back Tobacco into Memphis for 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.080 a game tomorrow night. For certain, not an easy place 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.120 to play in Memphis. Looking better this year than it 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.560 was last year, but an opportunity for the Sixers to 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.680 jump into things and get more momentum as we close 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.520 out the first month in the season.

Adventuresome, to say 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.480 the least, herculean effort by the big Man. We joined 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.920 Tom McGinnis who called this one tonight. The highlights of 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.680 course Tom forty two and eighteen from Joel Bead four 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.360 blocks as well Ben Simmons twenty two points, thirteen assists, 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.920 eight rebounds. Why don't we start with the way those two, 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.280 in particular began things in the third quarter. It was 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:13.080 like assault after assault on the rim, really impressive dunks, 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.080 and the Sixers were up by twenty one points at 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:17.520 one point in that period. It felt like they could 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.120 do no wrong and Beid went out and the game turned. 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:22.840 No doubt about it. I mean, it's it's like a 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.040 blessed scene and a curse, and that is the Sixers 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.440 are able to build up these substantial leads, which they 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.400 did on multiple occasions. Last year, and yet there are 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.440 times when they're unable to hold the leads. And again 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.040 the NBA game, it's a long time. Charlotte came in, 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.680 they had six threes in the third quarter, and their 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.640 reserve unit with Monk and Bacon and Bridges, those guys, 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.200 kid Gilchris came in. Those guys gave them some energy 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:50.160 and they were making shots. And then so that's your take. 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.600 The third and you know, the Sixers, they got it 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.880 down to eleven. I think it was ninety six eighty 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.480 five Sixers after three and then the fourth quarter the 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.200 Sixers went over six and a half minutes without a 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.600 field goal, and Bead had thirteen points in a row. 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.720 And if he's not getting into the line and making 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:08.920 the free throws, then this is what they'd gotten away 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.240 from the Sixers. But there were so many fouls. Frankly, 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.200 I thought there were too many files on both teams, 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.080 and it was ridiculous. I mean, you can't get a 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.240 rebound after a free throw without a foul anymore. It 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.000 was just and then the slightest little brush and another file. 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.320 I mean in the crowd got a little upset by 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.560 it and under it totally broke up the rhythm of 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.480 the game, and you'd have to say it kind of. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.440 I thought maybe it benefited Charlotte just because the Sixers 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.200 had been on a dominant role. But Joel was just 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.080 I mean, this is why he gets paid in the 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:38.840 big big Bucks, this is why he's an All Star. 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.600 He was a dominant player tonight and you watched two 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.400 of the best players in basketball and Walker for them. 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.560 Walker had like nineteen of his points in the fourth 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.920 quarter and overtime he had thirty. He struggled throughout much 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:52.720 of the game, and I think he was hindered with 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.000 that back. Like I said, you don't leave the game, 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.000 but a lower back sprain or a mid back sprain, 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.800 however they referred to it and come back one hundred 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.000 percent without that bothering you. And yet he was able 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:04.880 to purse some of his shots when he did get 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.560 back in the game where he had that onunch his 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.280 first shot literally what about thirty feet in the air 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.240 and sailed over the basket. You're like, whoa. And then 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.960 in Bead had a great block on Walkers shortly thereafter. 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.840 But then Joel he had twenty of his twenty two. 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.240 I mean, he had forty two, but in the overtime 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.240 in the fourth quarter, and Simmons to your point talking 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.359 about the third he had a huge drive down the 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.040 stretch and Ben made two free throws with the game 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:30.800 of the line Dary who had another big night in 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.800 terms of four to three point field goals. Covington struggled 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.520 from the field, but he was able to stay in 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.600 there and guard with five fouls. Brett Brown during the 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.520 postgame said they mixed it up a little bit. They 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.920 blitzed Kemba Walker, which is to say they doubled him, 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.560 showed him a different look at the ball of his hands, 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.520 and the Sixes were able to get away with a 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.240 one point overtime victory one thirty three, one thirty two 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:52.800 the final score. I'm not sure how much you can 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.600 talk about it on old sports radio, but Joel and 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.240 Bead after tonight, if I've done my quicker arithmetic correctly, 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.840 he is one hundred twelve for one hundred and thirty 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.440 seven from the free throw line. Set another way, he's 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.760 only missed twenty five times going to the line that 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.479 many times, almost one hundred and fifty times through thirteen games. 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.440 His makes and his takes leave the NBA and yeah, 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.439 he's at some variation of seven plus feet tall. It's 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.920 really amazing. And you've said it before, to have your 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.520 best player, now JJ's the best free throw should or 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.120 be one of your best free throw shooters. Like I said, 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.639 he preserved the victory, he got the sixers back in 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.879 at the nine. He made nineteen free throws, a career best. 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.200 And you know he takes a beating, you know, like 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:38.400 he gets some calls, but he's very good at drawing fouls. 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.320 In terms of the way he drops that ball below 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.240 his waist. We call it a rip through move, swinging 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:44.440 the ball left the right, where he's holding the ball 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.320 firmly and basically luring the defender to try to reach 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.359 for it or at least when they had their arms 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.359 outstretched on defense, you know, putting himself in a position 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.440 to draw the foul. But he was really good. And 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.920 at the other end, we just it's hard to quantify 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:02.000 because it's not just blocks. It's like I said, when 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.000 a guy pulls up short, when a guy drives, gets 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.840 by the initial defender, one of the opposing players, and 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.399 then oh they got to look over their shoulder, wears 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.600 and beat. It's always at the top of your mind, 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.320 that is. That's one of the reasons the Sixers are 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.280 one of the best defensive teams. I mean, right there, 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.920 they've got this incredible force down though rim protector has 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.719 the blocks, but again forces a lot of missus and 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.200 forces guys to do something that's out of their comfort zone. 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:28.520 Maybe they pull up a little earlier than they would 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.680 like to in terms of their shot forces, wrap around passes, 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:35.719 in traffic, I mean, recovers. He's just he's been a 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.440 terrific player, and really, like I know, there's so many 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.240 great players, and there's so many people having tremendous seasons 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.680 thus far, early ten plus games in, but he's playing 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.280 at an MVP level and the Sixers needed every single 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.160 ounce of his energy here tonight, and he delivered big time. 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:56.119 Forty two points, eighteen rebounds, four assists and four blocks shots. 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.200 You mentioned this point in time, and you've been doing 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.440 it long enough where you know the rhythm. I mean, 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.360 this is gonna be You would think it figures would 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.480 be a massive challenge for the seventy six Ers, not 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:07.240 just the fact that there's another game tomorrow and not 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:08.960 just the fact that it's on the road. But you 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.760 don't often see the length of distance in between back 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.760 to back game Sixers in Memphis tomorrow night against the 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.520 team playing really well. Well, they're undefeated at home. JB. 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:22.440 Bickerstaff has retained the job down there. They're slowing things down, 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:24.320 you know. I don't know if it's what do they 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.520 call the ground and grind and pound or the grindhouse 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:28.399 or whatever. I don't know if it's back to those days, 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:32.240 but you know they are. They're doing a lot better. 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.920 They're they're a top their division. It's Conley and Gasol 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:38.560 are still two of the best players in the NBA. 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.520 And they got Jackson who had a tremendous game with 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.679 four blocks in their most recent game. So yeah, no, 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.040 it's a difficult ball game. The only you know, one 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.400 possible saving grace is at Central time, so you gain 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:52.800 an hour, but no doubt, and this is it. I mean, 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.680 there's another tough back to back coming up in December 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:59.040 where the Sixers play a late afternoon game in Cleveland 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:00.639
