Go Sixers Welcome in through Sixers in sixty. 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:39.159 Matt Murphy, Lauren Rosen the seventy six Ers Insiders from 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:43.600 the Center in South Philadelphia as the Sixers have a 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.959 game on this Tuesday evening, Lauren, So it's different for us. 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.600 We've been in the studio for the first few editions 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.519 of six ers and sixty this year, but now we 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:56.840 get to do one overlooking the beautiful, mostly read in 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.200 season tournament court, the. 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.120 First of its kind, thanks of course to Marty Dickerson 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.679 who makes this all possible. Thanks to you, Matt Murphy, 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:06.800 and what a thrill you mentioned it. Nick Nurse said 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:10.240 before the game. It's colorful and it is certainly colorful 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.399 here inside the Center tonight, looking forward to talking about 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.880 the week that it's been for this team over the 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.120 next slightly less than an hour, hearing from you and 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.000 some of your favorite Sixers as well. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.600 Yeah, if for those who haven't been with us so 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.320 far through the first few weeks, I'm sure you're aware 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.520 of the sixers hot start to the season at eight 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.679 and one, entering Tuesday Night's action as the only team 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.920 in the NBA with just one loss, hence the best 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.399 record in the NBA. Because the other night, when the 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.920 Sixers beat the Pacers in the first meeting, the Nuggets 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.120 lost to the surprising Houston Rockets, who have started the 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:50.120 season well, which gave them their second loss and boosted 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.200 the Sixers up to the best record in the NBA 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:57.960 solo possession of the best record in the NBA. But 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:00.800 the season has been off to a good start, and 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.840 as if you haven't been listening to this show, we 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.920 will frequently hear from seventy six Ers players themselves, and 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.760 the interviews are available on the seventy six Ers Insiders 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.240 podcast feed. You can follow at Lauren m Rosen if 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.920 you somehow aren't already on Instagram and Matt Murphy X 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:23.200 and anywhere else and I'm at Matt Underscore Murphy zero four. 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.359 We've got Paul Reid coming up on this show, plus 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.320 a lot of Tyrese Maxie, who had a fifty point game, 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:34.960 a career high against the Pacers last time out. And 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.640 you had the chance prior to the fifty point game 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:42.760 to get extended time in a sit down with mister MAXI, Yeah. 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.160 Shall we call it Class of twenty twenty Draft Night 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:47.839 and draft episodes? 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.360 Weird drafts too, because they weren't in person. 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.480 Weird draft which made it possible for the seventy six 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.320 ers to draft Tyrese Maxey and with the twenty first 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.519 overall pick, Matt you said it. I spoke with him 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.200 just before his fis fifty point outing and so unfortunately, 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.799 in a forty five minute conversation, we actually weren't able 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.919 to cover him scoring forty five points or more, which 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.360 became his new career high the other night, hitting that 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:13.960 fifty ball for the first time. 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:15.119 That one of my favorite. 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:16.680 Things that he said after the game was how badly 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.040 his teammates wanted it for him. Took him a second 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:20.800 to catch up to what exactly was going on in 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:21.760 the last few minutes. 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:22.440 Of the game. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.919 Tobias Harris talked about it coming off the court. Joel 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.000 Embiid talked about it postgame. They were fired up trying 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.440 to get Tyrese to fifty, and Tyree said it seemed 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.320 like they wanted it more than I did. I just 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:33.880 wanted to get out of the building. 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:34.160 With a win. 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.240 True to form, Tyree's just looking for the dub, but 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.080 his teammates wanted that one for him really badly. 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.960 He's been the player of the Week already this season, 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:47.560 so has Joel Embiid. In the fifty point game from Maxi, 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:52.000 Embiid had a phenomenal outing himself with thirty seven points, 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:56.000 thirteen rebounds, eight of those offensively seven assists. Every time 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.280 you look up, Joel Embiid has seven assists this year 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.040 under Nick Nurse, which is so so impressive. Maxi did 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.320 Edgeman blocks three to one, though, and the points fifty 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.920 to thirty seven, as Tyrese became the ninth seventy six 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:13.080 er ever to have a fifty point game. He capped 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.480 it with sixteen points in the fourth quarter. He's had 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.640 a great season, so it's not just you sit down 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.280 with him, and we'll hear that in two parts tonight. 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.800 Throughout the show, stick around to hear from Tyrese Maxey, 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.640 who was the first player of the Week of the season, 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.240 and then it alternated sixers with one week in between, 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:36.599 with Joel Embiid averaging almost forty a game last week 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.240 to win the award, but two part interview with Maxi 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.400 coming up throughout our show in this But I guess 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.000 all that to say is the timing of when you 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:50.120 sit down with Tyrese Maxi hasn't just hasn't mattered this 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.120 season because he's been so consistent and every night he 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:55.760 does something that's amazing. 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.520 Nick Nurse said prior to the game that maybe Tyrese 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.080 Maxi is closer to a true point guard than everybody 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.279 thought except for Tyres but said he was closer to 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.159 a point guard than we all thought he was because 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.320 he certainly looks very, very good. 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:10.560 Now. 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.400 Matt a couple of stats to support Tyrese Maxy averaging 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.560 seven point two assists per game. 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.719 That's good for twelfth. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.240 Best in the NBA. But he has the fewest turnovers 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.520 among the top thirty nine assisters. Let me say that again, 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.560 he's twelfth overall and assists seven point two assists per game, 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:33.440 but among the top thirty nine ball sharers in the NBA, 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.480 he is the one with the fewest turnovers. 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.040 He has ten total assists this season. 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.720 That's good for about one point one assists per game. 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.960 That he has done such a good job of taking 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.800 care of the ball, a great job of sharing it 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.080 as well, And to those who underestimated him, shame on you. 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.640 Let's hear from his draft classmate and teammate on what 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.040 it's been like to play for this sixer team with 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:01.000 that teammate in Tyrese Maxey. Here's the ball, Paul, Paul Reid. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.320 Paul Reid, thank you for joining us on Sixers in 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.159 sixty the Sixers. 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.839 At this point eight and one. What exactly is working 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:11.120 so well for you guys right now? 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.800 I think what's working well for us is the fact 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:23.040 that we have good team chemistry. I think everybody knows 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.800 what their role is and what they can do to 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.279 help the team win, and we all are doing that. 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.080 I mean, especially myself. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.479 You know, I'm just going out there doing whatever I 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:38.040 can to get my teammates open, to get offense, rebounds, 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:42.240 rebounds in general, and get defensive stops, and I feel 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:43.960 like I'm not the only one out there doing that, 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.120 so it's like we're all on the same page, and 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:47.719 I think that's just really helping. 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:50.520 That's one of these ball games. 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.719 Last time out, your draft classmate from the twenty twenty draft, 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:59.080 Tyrese Maxi and friend, dropped his first fifty piece. You 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.400 called him in spal Why is he an inspiration to you? 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.120 I mean, you know, the dude that got drafted with 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:07.680 me going out there dropping fifty. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.920 I just I just love to see it, you know. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.760 I love to see him be aggressive man and make 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.080 all his shots like that. I feel like that's tough, 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.440 and uh, you know, I think that's just inspirational. It 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.440 makes makes me feel like, you know, I can go 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.440 out there and do the same thing if I put 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:27.080 my mind to it. 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.560 You and Tyrese together are part of these second and 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.800 fourth quarter lineups where you guys, like you say, are 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.960 holding it down without Joel out there. Does how does 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.680 that play differ from from when Joel is out there? 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.600 And what are you enjoying about playing with that group 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:41.960 in the second and the fourth. 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.160 I feel like as long as I set him the screen, 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:48.080 get him open, I mean the rest he's going to 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.280 take care of. He's going to go to the room 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:56.600 and do whatever he has to do the finish, and 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.720 a lot of times the defense is going to step 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.200 up and he's going to make the right decision. He's 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.960 either gonna hit me on the road, make the skip pass, 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:09.360 or whatever. And that's kind of what it comes down to. 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.560 And uh, he's not the only one. Pat Bell, you know, 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.720 it's been real good playing with him. I feel like 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.360 he's making the game a lot easier as well, just 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:19.800 by making the right players out there not trying to 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:20.400 do too much. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.680 You've said that part of your success this year is 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.000 due to the fact that coach Nick Nurse is encouraging 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.760 you to really crash the glass. Right, How is that 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.480 different from from years past? And how much are you 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.240 enjoying being able to showcase part of that game. 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.440 I mean, it's not very different from years past. But 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.720 you know, I'm not the only one that he's telling 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.360 the crash and glass. So when you got two three 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.679 guys crashing the glass, it makes it easier for one 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.600 of us to come up with the rebound. You feel 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:50.000 me and I like how he has the whole team. 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.680 You know our chemistry. I feel like we weremoving the 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.600 ball a lot better this season, and. 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.599 You know we're playing more unselfish. 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.720 I was last but not least, the second of two 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.720 games against the Indiana Pacers. This one counts for the 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:09.040 in season tournament. How much are you enjoying playing in 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.079 the league's first in season tournament, Paul, I. 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:12.800 Mean it's fun. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:17.600 It's fun because normally we would be competing and then 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.040 try to win regardless, but now it's a little bit 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.720 more extra on the line, which makes it even more 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.880 interesting and more fun because it's like, Okay, we got 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.720 you gotta get this dub, not only because really the 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.160 best team really better team, but also because it's money 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.760 on the line, and I think everybody want that extra 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.280 check in their pocket. I definitely do, so I'm not 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.600 gonna say that I'm playing harder, but at the same time, 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.000 it's like it means more for sure. 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.840 Paul Reid aka be ball, Paul, thank you so much. 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:52.800 Will you will extra check on the line? Lauren? And 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.640 should fans stick around, I'll hear from Tyrese MAXI maybe 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:56.400 in the next segment. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.600 Absolutely they should. 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.000 We have a couple secon moments from Tyrese himself. This 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.240 is the first time anyone is hearing these conversations from 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.640 immediately prior to his fifty point outing. But if you 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.679 want to learn more about everybody's new favorite player, you 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:11.520 should stick around. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.600 Thanks again to be Ball, Paul.

The Sixers have been awesome to start the 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:31.040 season at eight and one currently as we speak pre 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.959 game on before Tuesday night's slate of action across the NBA, 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:39.080 including here in Philadelphia. We're about to hear from Tyrese 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.839 Maxi in a few minutes. But one thing that has 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:47.319 been on everyone's mind is the health of Kelly Oubre Junior, 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:51.319 who last weekend was a pedestrian struck by a vehicle 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:55.960 in Philadelphia and has now missed games due to a 0:11:56.000 --> 0:12:00.520 broken rib. And we've been getting updates from coach Nick 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:04.280 Nurse as well, who spoke about Kelly Ubray Lauren with 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:05.120 us pre game. 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.400 YEP, the latest on Kelly Ubray Junior. Nick Nurse was 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.720 able to visit Kelly in his home in Philadelphia yesterday. 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.360 Nick added that Kelly Ubray was able to come into 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.520 the facility this morning that he rode the exercise bike 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.480 for a little bit and that he is quote in 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:23.040 good spirit, so of course as always sending nothing but 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.760 the best to Kelly Ubray and his family. 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:26.600 Such a scary situation. 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.600 It was scary for the locker room, it was scary 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.840 for the coaches, and we're just so glad that Kelly 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.839 is okay. Tyree of course, dedicated his fifty piece after 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.160 the game to Kelly Ubray Junior. He said, I just 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.440 met him, but I love him, and I think that 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.680 that's how this whole team feels about Kelly. So great 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.480 to hear that he was able to get into the 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:47.360 facility this morning and cnbccen right, and that he's on the. 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:48.280 Road to recovery. 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.040 He has been a part of a Sixers group this 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.960 season in twenty three twenty four that has had already 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.520 shown has already shown great chemistry, great team chemistry. And 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.760 here avid listeners of the Sixers radio network know that 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.560 postgame after wins, we hear from the players. They throw 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.200 a headset on and they speak with Tom McGuinness after 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.600 the win, and I wanted to call back to one. 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.240 I was actually filling in for Tom who was on 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.520 the TV side, but fer Khan Korkmaz next man up 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.200 back on November two against the Toronto Raptors, had a 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.760 ten point game off the bench. We had called Kelly 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.800 our player of the game. He had twenty three. But 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.480 I think this speaks to what this year's team and 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.880 what a lot of what Kelly Oubre is all about 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.840 as a teammate. Talking about the Sixers and cork Maz 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:37.640 as a family. 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:39.120 It's everything, man. 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.560 You know, realistically, he's been here the longest tenure. You know, 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.280 I obviously I don't know one hundred percent facts, but 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:45.920 he's been here a while, man, and you know, he 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:46.559 puts into work. 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:47.520 He's very professional. 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.199 I'm his locker mate, so you know, I kind of 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.880 give him some missing pieces about his recovery and just 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.120 the things that are going on within his mental man. 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:56.600 Because we're we're all the family. 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.400 So I'm just happy to see him come out here 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.480 and be a sol And he always that was Kelly 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.640 Ubray a couple of weeks back talking about fer Cohn, 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.079 Korkmaz and this Sixers family. All the best to Kelly 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.960 Ubray Junior. And he always ends his interviews in a 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:14.040 unique way as well. He always mentions love often times 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.160 or something along those lines. I forget exactly what it is, 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:19.800 but you're gonna hear the word love a lot with 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.240 Kelly Ubray. So a lot of people in Philadelphia are 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.400 sending their love to him right now. But it's good 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.480 to hear that Nick nurse that visited with him and 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.160 that he was able to be at the facility on 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:35.720 the exercise bike on Tuesday morning as his recovery process begins. 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.080 Tyrese MAXI coming up here on six ers and sixty. 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:43.400 This was a long conversation that took place in Detroit 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.560 with you, Lauren, and what are some of the things 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:47.400 you touched on here? 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.920 It was an awesome conversation.
