Speaker 3: Best part of your job?
Speaker 4: Love the competition.

Speaker 2: What's your best memory or your fondest memory with the
Speaker 2: Sixers thus.
Speaker 5: Far, fondest memory with the Sixers so far?
Speaker 3: You can do something recent. We can go back to
Speaker 3: Fort Collins.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think.
Speaker 5: There seems to be a post game ball giving thing
Speaker 5: that was really funny.
Speaker 4: That had to do with had one ball or something
Speaker 4: like that. Other was really good.
Speaker 5: I don't know a lot of those are the A
Speaker 5: lot of those that were pretty fun Tyrese's first fifty
Speaker 5: was pretty cool. They had another fifty. We didn't have
Speaker 5: to give them a ball from that one. Joel had
Speaker 5: the seventy. That was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Ye, you hit a memory for me. I believe we
Speaker 3: were in Orlando.
Speaker 2: I believe Ricky and Turk both played for the first time.
Speaker 2: Joel was to give a game ball to both of them,
Speaker 2: but perhaps only had one ball.
Speaker 4: Does that That's right?
Speaker 5: That was that was That was Okay, that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 5: I think we were We had two guys to score
Speaker 5: their first NBA points.
Speaker 3: So those are cool moments the game cool.
Speaker 5: There's got to be some cooler stuff than that, though,
Speaker 5: to be honest with you, I mean.
Speaker 4: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 5: Like like I you know, I grew up with like
Speaker 5: doctor J on my wall and stuff, and just just
Speaker 5: like sometimes thinking man coaching the Sixers.
Speaker 4: Like you know, the first couple.
Speaker 5: Of games and you're going into the arena and you're like,

Speaker 4: if I could convince all of them to be That.
Speaker 3: Sounds like a heck of a pizza party. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 2: What's the best gift you've ever gotten someone?
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think, Well, here's one pretty good one.

Speaker 1: Trying to impress people?
Speaker 4: I might bring mat Mix.
Speaker 1: There you have it from DJ Rezi aka Paul Reid
Speaker 1: aka B Ball Paul. Thanks to him for giving us
Speaker 1: some time. I'm Matt Murphy with Nick Stauskis the NBA
Speaker 1: VET and we go now to Lauren Rosen, the Sixers
Speaker 1: team reporter and Lauren the Dallas to Brooklyn road trip
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia seventy six Ers. Paul Reid and the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy six ers and coach Nurse who we heard
Speaker 1: some of yours sit down with as well. What is
Speaker 1: the latest from coach Nurse not Nick?
Speaker 7: The latest latest is the starting lineup. I'll run through
Speaker 7: it super quickly. Able to buy a parents, move off
Speaker 7: a campaign Kyle Lowry as of just moments ago. Campaign
Speaker 7: was of course questionable up until this point, as was
Speaker 7: kJ Martin. Both will be available tonight if you asked
Speaker 7: about the trip as a whole, and obviously down Tyreeksmacsi
Speaker 7: for the second half of the trip without mild concussion
Speaker 7: as were diagnosed today. A huge bummer for this blog,
Speaker 7: but of course good to know that Tyree's is going
Speaker 7: to get the treatment that he needs and be ready
Speaker 7: and be back as soon as as possible. That's really
Speaker 7: good Win in Dallas. I know you guys have already
Speaker 7: touched on it, but an absolute grill to wash that one,
Speaker 7: for sure. It's some good takeaways to come out of
Speaker 7: the trip as well.
Speaker 1: Interesting now that Payin is back in the line, so
Speaker 1: that will be the starting backcourt with Kyle Lowry and
Speaker 1: we've got the Brooklyn Echo Lauren a little bit. So
Speaker 1: as we get ready for game time, any any other
Speaker 1: closing thoughts on Tobias Harris after the twenty eight points
Speaker 1: at Dallas.
Speaker 7: Well, listen and you can tell me if this sounds better.
Speaker 7: It does, right, So I try to find a better
Speaker 7: spot to chat with you guys. But Tobias Harris has
Speaker 7: really been awesome over these last few games. And my
Speaker 7: biggest takeaway is the face that his teammates have had
Speaker 7: in him when I asked questions about Tobias this great
Speaker 7: performance of late. Nobody is surprised that he's been as
Speaker 7: strong as he's been thirty one twenty eight, playing offensively,
Speaker 7: really sharp and quick, and then of course holding it
Speaker 7: down on the defensive end as well. None of his
Speaker 7: teammates are surprised. They say this is Abias that we
Speaker 7: know Coach Nurse prior to the games. You asked about
Speaker 7: Coach's media availability. He said prior to the game that
Speaker 7: he never worries about Tobias Harris coming out of a slump.
Speaker 7: It's sort of external folks that worry a little bit
Speaker 7: more about how Tobias is going to rebound after a
Speaker 7: tough one. But he's been awesome these last couple of games.
Speaker 7: His teammates are fully behind him. They appreciate him as
Speaker 7: a leader, and it was cool to hear Tyrese Maxey,
Speaker 7: Kelly Oubre Junior Buddy heeled wh's a new teammate of
Speaker 7: Tobias to say, Yeah, We're not surprised to see him
Speaker 7: play like that. We know what Tobia Parris can do well.
Speaker 1: It's the run end of a back to back that
Speaker 1: sends the Sixers back home after this to play Memphis. Lauren,
Speaker 1: we know you are busy. Thanks for joining us on
Speaker 1: the Comcast Business Hotline. We look forward to your coverage.
Speaker 1: Everyone should follow at Lauren m Rosen, I'm sure they
Speaker 1: all are already, and thanks for your fun chat with
Speaker 1: Coach Nurse as well. I look forward to the full
Speaker 1: episode dropping soon.
Speaker 7: Always appreciate you, guys.
Speaker 1: Allow Matt Murphy and Nick Stauskas back with you on
Speaker 1: Sixers in sixty closing out the show here in the
Speaker 1: Dallas game and Tobias Harris both I mean one and
Speaker 1: the same essentially because he played. He followed up a
Speaker 1: thirty one point performance against Charlotte at home with a
Speaker 1: twenty eight point performance against Dallas. What did you think
Speaker 1: about the win in Dallas and about Harris's play over
Speaker 1: the last two.
Speaker 6: Well, I think, you know, he had been struggling.
Speaker 8: Tobias had been struggling a little bit over the previous
Speaker 8: couple of games, and you know, you fast forward to
Speaker 8: you rewind to that Hornets game, and he had thirteen
Speaker 8: points in that first quarter, got three threes to drop.
Speaker 8: And for any player, whenever you're going through a slump,
Speaker 8: that's all you need is you need.
Speaker 6: Sometimes you just need one.
Speaker 8: Quarter to see the ball go through the basket and
Speaker 8: regain that confidence a little bit. And what I like
Speaker 8: from him is he didn't do anything outside of the offense.
Speaker 8: He found a way to get easy buckets by back cutting,
Speaker 8: you know, moving without the ball, coming off down screens,
Speaker 8: coming off pin downs, and that's his game. And so
Speaker 8: now on a night like tonight, maybe with you know,
Speaker 8: some guys up, maybe he has to be a little
Speaker 8: more aggressive in one on one situations. But the game
Speaker 8: against Dallas, what I really liked specifically was he had
Speaker 8: one play against Dante exem in the second quarter where
Speaker 8: hessed them out of his sh Well, I mean it
Speaker 8: wasn't that so you know a lot of people won't
Speaker 8: remember this play, but he was at the kind of
Speaker 8: free throw line area posting up and he was going
Speaker 8: off the dribble and exhim cut him off, and he
Speaker 8: got rid of the balls, passed it to Kyle Lowry
Speaker 8: at the top of key, and as soon as he
Speaker 8: got rid of it, he like backed up a little bit,
Speaker 8: regained his position, and then demanded to get the ball back,
Speaker 8: and then as soon as he caught it, went right
Speaker 8: back at Exum like I think, went to his left
Speaker 8: hand for a little like ten foot pull up and
Speaker 8: hit it.
Speaker 6: And I'm like, you could just tell he knew the spot.
Speaker 8: That he was going to go to, and he just
Speaker 8: had that confidence, like, look, this is a no brainer.
Speaker 8: I know, I know how to get to my spot,
Speaker 8: and I'm going to raise up and shoot it. And
Speaker 8: when you're playing with that kind of confidence and you
Speaker 8: assert yourself in that way, your teammates will follow. And
Speaker 8: I think that's why, you know, going off of what
Speaker 8: Laurence said, they're not surprised when they see him do
Speaker 8: something like that because he's asserting himself and he's confident
Speaker 8: with it. So you know, hopefully he continues that here tonight.
Speaker 8: I know the Sixers are going to need that.
Speaker 1: I of course was thinking of the Tyrese Maxe on
Speaker 1: Dante Exum step back three, but both of them helped
Speaker 1: lead the Sixers over the Mavericks for a one to
Speaker 1: twenty one to sixteen win on a Sunday afternoon most
Speaker 1: recently as we speak right now. But the reason where
Speaker 1: we were speaking to Lauren and Campaign is starting in
Speaker 1: the backcourt with Kyle Lowry is because of a mild
Speaker 1: concussion for Tyrese Maxe, which was ultimately sustained in that
Speaker 1: play with Derek Jones Junior against the Mavericks. So even
Speaker 1: more of a scoring need for Tobias Harris as the
Speaker 1: Sixers enter the Brooklyn game, and then they have a
Speaker 1: back to back against the Memphis Grizzlies as well. But Nick,
Speaker 1: we spoke earlier about Jeff Dalton Junior, who's in the mix.
Speaker 1: It's good that Campaign is back available, who missed the
Speaker 1: last game in the Sixers backcourt rotation due to an illness.
Speaker 1: But Jeff Dalton Junior is the newest six Syne. He
Speaker 1: was playing with the Blue Coats, the Sixers G League affiliate.
Speaker 1: We've been calling a lot of his games. He missed
Speaker 1: most of the Showcase Cup season with a foot and
Speaker 1: ankle mid foot injury, but he came back for the
Speaker 1: regular season. He's been playing good ball, and he earned
Speaker 1: a two way contract with the seventy six ers. So
Speaker 1: we've already said we like his game. Why well, you.
Speaker 8: Know, he's really taking advantage of those opportunities in the
Speaker 8: G League, you know, with the Blue Coats, and every
Speaker 8: time I've watched him play, it's his poise out there.
Speaker 6: I think, great combo guard.
Speaker 8: He can go in and get buckets when you need
Speaker 8: him to, but he can also be the guy distributing,
Speaker 8: you know, playing the pick and roll, finding the roller,
Speaker 8: making the right reads.
Speaker 6: But he's deceptive with it. I think a lot of
Speaker 6: times I look at.
Speaker 8: Him, Oh, he can't really you know, he can't really elevate,
Speaker 8: but yet he's getting his jump shot off whenever he wants.
Speaker 8: He's not the fastest, but he's get into the rim
Speaker 8: at will and you know, finishing with both hands through contact.
Speaker 6: So there's been a lot of impressive things.
Speaker 8: And obviously when you get to that next level, it's
Speaker 8: not like the Sixers are going to look for him
Speaker 8: to score thirty in the game, but it's the ability.
Speaker 8: The ability is there and the confidence is there as well.
Speaker 8: So for him, he just needs to carry over that
Speaker 8: same mentality, same confidence when he gets these opportunities. And
Speaker 8: again it's the beauty of two way contracts in the NBA.
Speaker 1: He has. Most of his NBA playing experience was for
Speaker 1: Nick Nurse last season in Toronto. Good in the mid range,
Speaker 1: He's been a good three point shooter above forty percent
Speaker 1: in his three plus seasons in the G League. Eighteen
Speaker 1: point six assists, four point three assist to turnover ratio,
Speaker 1: leading the G League for the sixteen to eight Blue
Speaker 1: Coats this season. Turquavion Smith is also with the Sixers
Speaker 1: for some depth as well ahead of this NETS game,
Speaker 1: But on the way out the door, Nick, some trivia
Speaker 1: for you, courtesy of Basketball Reference. Last time we did this,
Speaker 1: you went three for three. Who has the most seasons
Speaker 1: with two hundred plus blocks A de kembe Mtumm b
Speaker 1: Mark Eaton, See Hakim Olajauan d Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with de Kem Matumbo.
Speaker 1: Hakem twelve seasons with two hundred blocks. Who had the
Speaker 1: most assist in their first five seasons? Oscar Robertson, Isaiah Thomas,
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson or John Stockton, John Stockton, Oscar Roberts four
Speaker 1: thousand and seventy six for his first five seasons. I
Speaker 1: think that's all we have time for today. Well, we'll
Speaker 1: have to do the third one on our own time.
Speaker 6: That was an underwhelming performance.
Speaker 1: He'll bounce back like you did the last time. Nick Stauskas,
Speaker 1: thank you so much.
Speaker 6: Thank you. I appreciate it, Matt.
Speaker 1: Thanks to our producer Matt Menak for Lauren Rosen and
Speaker 1: Nick Stauskas. I'm Matt Murphy. This has been six Ers
