<v Speaker 1>It's spooky season and it's not what you think. He's

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about the role that Tyrese Maxey has assumed this

0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>season and enhanced role obviously with today's report events that

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>trade has not officially gone through yet, but whether whether

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.119
<v Speaker 1>or not Tyrese continues in his in his current role

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>which seems like a weather or not an or not.

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>D Anthony Melton says, he's gone so good. It's about

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>to be spooky season, and I agree, Matt Murphy.

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>This is our second edition of Sixers and sixty for

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 2>the twenty twenty three to twenty four NBA season, and

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.839
<v Speaker 2>it's Tuesdays in this time slot from six to seven pm.

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>If the Sixers have a seven thirty game on a Tuesday,

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>for example, this show is expected to air from six

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 2>thirty to about seven to twenty leading into pregame on

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the here on the Sixers Radio network. And as Lauren

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 2>just said, we have an exclusive interview coming up next

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.120
<v Speaker 2>with de Anthony Melton and another one with his backcourt

0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>mate and the Eastern Conference Player of the week, Tyrese

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Maxi of the Philadelphia seventy six Ers, who start the

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 2>campaign two and one. We will get into what has

0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 2>impressed us most thus far with our fanatic basket ball

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 2>insider Connor Thomas tonight. But Lauren, this is a team

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>that obviously a crazy day, but it was a crazy

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 2>off season, crazy summer, and they had some doubters, which

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Tobias Harris touched on this week.

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I figured that he was sort of the best

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>one to describe what the last weeks and months for

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>this team have been like. Considering the fact that though

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>he's in his fifth and a half season with the team,

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>he is one of the longest tenured Sixers of course

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 1>behind for concork Mas and Joelle Embiid, but he's seen

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot in his time here, and when he speaks,

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 1>he usually does so with authority. So after the Sixers'

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>second win of the year and second win in as

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>many nights on Sunday night against the Portland Trailblazers, Tobias

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>was asked what it looked like for this team to

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>go into a season with so many question marks, not

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>knowing who the starting lineup was going to be, who

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>was going to be at camp, who wasn't, And Tobias said,

0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>flat out, we never had any question marks. Have a

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>heck of a team, and I think they showed that

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>in Games one through three. Of course that narrow loss

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to the Milwaukee Bucks. This is a team that feels

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>like they should be three and oh right now, and

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>with today's events, obviously they're going to go full steam

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>ahead with the group that got them to this place

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>where they could be three and oh. Two of the

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>top ten easily scorers in the NBA right now on

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>this team. Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>first time, Tyrese Maxi with the ball in his hands

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>more officially than it ever has been looking dominant.

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 3>And he's a huge part of why Tobias says that

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.519
<v Speaker 3>in the locker room they never had question marks.

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>It has been awesome to watch Tyrese Maxi paired in

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>the backcourt with the Anthony Melton, who will hear from

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 2>in a chat next and we will later in the

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>show talk with Connor Thomas about that James Harden trade

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>that we've been alluding to, and we'll also touch on

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>the upcoming schedule because in our maiden voyage last Tuesday

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>of six Ers in sixty for the new season, I

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>talked about how it was a fun start to the season,

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 2>but maybe I I kind of regret saying that because

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 2>it was an odd weekend back to back that they

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 2>took care of business and impressive, impressive fashion in Toronto

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 2>and then home against Portland. So an impressive two and

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 2>one start for the Philadelphia seventy six ers. And let's

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 2>jump into my chat with Sixers guard the Anthony Melton.

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Here with the Anthony Melton coming off the Portland game,

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 2>two and one start to the season, it's the early going.

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 2>We were looking at the box score with Tyrese Maxi

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>and we're talking about his ten rebounds your eight assist

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of bragging about having more rebounds than you,

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 2>but you had more assists. So what are your thoughts

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 2>on how the box score shook down?

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 4>I think exactly how you said it.

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I was bragging up bout my eight assists

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 5>and I was Diamon out there, and of course he's.

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 4>Trying to what help me with his rebound.

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 5>But when I saw him like have like I think

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 5>like six six sevenound, I said, okay, you might go

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 5>to get ten out there. They say I'm trying to.

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 5>So I mean, I think it's a testament to him

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 5>that he just showing, you know, he's trying to expand

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 5>his game every which way, and for me too, trying

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 5>to expand my game.

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned to Lauren in your walk off interview after

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 2>the game that you worked on playmaking this summer. What

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.480
<v Speaker 2>goes into working on What did you do to work

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 2>on it?

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 5>Just bar handling, bar handling, coming off pick and rolls,

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 5>understanding reads, being a pass with both hands. I think

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 5>that's definitely emphasis, you know, finding people understanding offense.

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 2>And we're speaking here on Halloween days. So now moving

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 2>forward with you and Tyrese, MAXI solidified as the six

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>series starting backcourt. He just got named Eastern Conference Player

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 2>of the Week thirty six and six averages. What gives

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>you confidence in him?

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I mean, I've always had confidence in Tire's

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, from the time I got here, just you know,

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 5>from our workouts and stuff. I mean, you know, and

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 5>for Halloween's sake, you know, it's gonna get real spooky

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 5>out here now, So you know, I think he's excited.

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm excited, and we're all excited. So let's just get

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 4>to it.

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Ending with this, what are your top three Halloween candies

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:00.919
<v Speaker 2>and your bottom three Halloween candies?

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 4>Top three is Snickers Kick Cat. That's that's that's tough.

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 4>That's tough. Actually I'm gonna go four because, like, you.

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 5>Know what I mean, Snickers, Cat, Twigs and Reces because

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 5>I can't leave I can't leave Twigs and Reces out,

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean.

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 4>But Snickers and Cat have to be in cut, no one,

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 4>I can't. That's the thing.

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:29.039
<v Speaker 5>Okay, bottom four, I mean bottom three definitely get a

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 5>core one. I don't know who eats those. You gotta

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 5>be criminals to eat those. But other than that, I

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 5>don't know any like whoppers. Fire whoppers are fire fire

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 5>roleses fire too.

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 4>Okay, well, then what else is it that?

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I like?

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 4>The sour ones?

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.799
<v Speaker 2>All sour candy, sour straws.

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 4>They're not that sod, but like the sour You know

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 4>that those circle ones.

0:06:58.400 --> 0:06:58.840
<v Speaker 6>What are they?

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Are they called war warheads?

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 4>Are the warheads? Yeah? Those bottom three?

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, there you have it with the Anthony Milton.

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, you're welcome.

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I should have let the Anthony Melton

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 2>off the hook picking four top Halloween candies.

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Gotta go. None of those are even that good.

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 2>It was Snickers, Twigs, Reese's and Connor.

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 7>Can you pick us up? Kick Cassy.

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 2>We welcome Connor Thomas as this week's fanatic basketball insider.

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 2>I just said, okay, and he's like, it's got to

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 2>be four one. I can't get rid of any of them,

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>so I think I should have asked him to get

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 2>rid of one.

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 7>But that's okay.

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 1>We got to make tough decisions sometimes as adults, and

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>de Anthony proved incapable, and that's disappointing.

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 2>As I mentioned earlier, and as we talked about earlier,

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Tyrese Maxi joins us later on here on six Ers

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>in sixty and we asked the same question of him,

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 2>and he if you thought d Anthony Melton carried on

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about candy, Tyresee might have talked twice

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 2>as long about his top and bottom candies.

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>He thought long and hard and de Anthony's top candy

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>all has some stuff in common, like they're all found

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 1>on the same shelf with the vending machine, if you will.

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>And his bottom candy all also had some things in common.

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 3>Tyree's much more varied.

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>There's a variety of palette choices in his top and bottom.

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>So I'm I'm glad we've teased that now at length.

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>And these interviews from our show here will be available

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 2>on the seventy six Ers Insiders podcast as well. But

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>thanks to the Anthony Melton for joining us, and again

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 2>fanatic basketball insider, and we won't talk only about candy.

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 2>We will talk about the Sixers. Because overnight, in the

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 2>wee hours of the night two o'clock in the morning

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 2>or so, per ESPN's Adrian wold Schnarowski, a reported trade

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:47.439
<v Speaker 2>went down involving James Harden, PJ. Tucker, and Philip Patrushev

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 2>going to the LA Clippers. And what is being reported

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 2>is the return is Marcus Morris, Robert Covington, Nick batoum

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.199
<v Speaker 2>kJ Martin, a bunch of picks I'm gonna rattle off

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 2>here twenty twenty eight unprotected first round pick, two second

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.479
<v Speaker 2>round picks, twenty twenty nine pick swap, and an additional

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 2>first round pick from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Connor, thanks

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.200
<v Speaker 2>for joining us, and what was your initial reaction and

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.439
<v Speaker 2>where are you at now as the day has played out?

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, thanks for having me, guys. I mean my initial reaction.

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 8>I woke up at like ten am. My phone was

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.959
<v Speaker 8>blowing up. I thought I had some emergency going on.

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 8>It was crazy to see the hour of it and

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 8>to wake up to that news.

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 7>It was awesome. I love the return.

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 8>I thought this was going to be much more like

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 8>the Ben Simmons situation and that it was going to

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 8>be a long road throughout the season to try and

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 8>find a trade, especially because we heard that the Clippers

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 8>were stepping away for the foreseeable future just like a

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 8>week ago, and now the trade gets done. I didn't

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 8>think that you were going to get this many picks

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.959
<v Speaker 8>back in my wildest dreams, and this gives you the

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:50.679
<v Speaker 8>versatility to make other moves.

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 7>That's the biggest thing.

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 8>Like this had to We knew James Harden was not

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 8>going to bring back a return that was going to

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 8>turn you into contender, but he could bring back enough

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 8>of a return you could turn that into a potential

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 8>return for a contender. So this was a good first

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 8>step on a two step journey. And I'm glad that

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 8>you don't have the distraction anymore of the questions about

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 8>it and the conversation surrounding it. This couldn't have gotten

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 8>done at a better time and for a better return.

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 7>I love it.

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>The man of the week is Tyrese Maxi, and I

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 2>think the way that he started the season made this.

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to speak for the front office or

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the staff, but for in the minds of the fans,

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 2>it made this easier on them because he's the player

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.800
<v Speaker 2>of the week. He averaged thirty points and he really,

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 2>as he says, left no doubt this week with where

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 2>his game is at and how he can run this team. Lauren,

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 2>you talk about the ball being in his hands, and

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Nick Nurse talks about his shooting and his speed, and

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:49.440
<v Speaker 2>they're running an offense that has more player movement and

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 2>ball movement and different types of offensive looks. So I

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 2>think the MAXI factor is at the top of the

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 2>list reaction wise to the trade, no.

0:10:58.640 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Doubt about it.

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>We mentioned it our Eastern Conference Player of the Week,

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>his first such nod, but probably many tyres are in

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the early running of the season. Three games down, thirty

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 1>point three points, six point seven rebounds, six point three

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 1>assists per game, and guys, that is comparable to prime

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Steph Curry and I get it, small sample size, just

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.719
<v Speaker 1>three games, but we've been watching Tyrese every day of

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>his career, and a small sample size usually grows into

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a staple for this young player. I'll remind you, guys,

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 1>some of Steph's best seasons thirty points, six point seven assists.

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:33.679
<v Speaker 3>Let's see this.

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Is twenty fifteen sixteen thirty points, five point four rebounds,

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.319
<v Speaker 1>six point seven assists. One of his other great seasons

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>thirty two points, five point five rebounds, five point eight assists.

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>We're looking at very comparable numbers. It's the early running,

0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>but if today's events are any indication, he's going to

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 1>continue having opportunities to make more games stack up the

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>way that he has in games one through three, and

0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm so excited.

0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:59.439
<v Speaker 7>Guy, Oh, how could you not be right?

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 8>As the usage thing is so cool to me for

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 8>Tyreeves getting that opportunity because he showed it and flashes

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 8>to start. Then with the Ben Simmons situation, he got

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 8>thrust into that role and then Harden comes in takes

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.679
<v Speaker 8>over obviously as he should with the pedigree he has.

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 8>But now Tyres gets another chance at center stage running

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 8>that being like the king of the back court for

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 8>the Sixers, and I think for a young player who's

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 8>still growing into the type of NBA player he's gonna be,

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 8>this is an awesome thing for the point in his

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 8>career he's at. I hope this sample size is something

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 8>we see like repeated over a numerous amount of games

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 8>this year, and the work ethic speaks for itself.

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 7>With him, it's awesome, it's exciting.

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Even Game one, and Lauren, you will touch on this

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>when you and your sit down with him in the

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 2>next segment. But against the Damian Lillard led Milwaukee Bucks,

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.440
<v Speaker 2>he didn't back down and he finished that game with

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 2>over thirty and it wasn't his best game by any means.

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 2>And before that one, he said, it's the battle of

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the number of Zeros on that night in the NBA,

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 2>and he was up to the task from opening night, and.

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Matt, you know, I like to be conservative about about

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. So as soon as I let that tweet

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>fly the Battle of the Zeros, I was like, Ooh.

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 3>I really hope that this is a good battle, Like

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 3>you never know.

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>It's Dame's first game, he's such a hallowed player in

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>this league.

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 3>It's Tyrese's first game of the season.

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Did I just put too much pressure on someone? Did

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I set him up to fail? No, they went toe

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to toe. Terrese had a slow start and ended up helping,

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.599
<v Speaker 1>if not handling, the Sixers back into that game. And

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 1>then I will say Sunday night in the locker room,

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Damian Lillard struggled a little bit that night, and a

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 1>couple players came into the locker room saying, hey, Tyrese,

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 1>did you see the score of what's going on in Milwaukee?

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Because it looks like it's MAXI time. And I thought

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>that that was an apt way to describe what's gone

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 1>on in Week one.

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Matt Murphy and Lauren Rosen here with our Fanatic basketball

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 2>insider Connor Thomas on this week's Sixers in sixty Here

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 2>on the Fanatic and Connor. Part of the return includes

0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 2>more wing players in this reported trade with for James Harden,

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 2>and it's a lot of depth. And someone like Kelly

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Oubre has been a standout off the Sixers bench already.

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 2>They got him, they picked him up late in the offseason.

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 2>So now with this, you know a ton of wings.

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.440
<v Speaker 2>How do you see that potentially shaking out? Who are

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 2>some guys you're keeping the closest eye on.

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean I'm really looking at Nick Batoomb, kJ Martin.

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 8>Those are guys that because when you talk about Morris

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 8>and you talk about Roco, now, Roco can play defensively

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 8>really really well for you, and he's got the three ball.

0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 8>We know from his time here, and he's developed a

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 8>lot as a player since leaving Philadelphia. We know what

0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 8>we're getting with him, so I'm less it's almost like

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 8>I know him, So I'm less excited to watch him

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 8>play than the other guys we haven't seen in the

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 8>Sixers jersey before. But also with Morris, more towards the

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 8>back end of his career. These guys, here's how I

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 8>see these guys playing out right. We know the rotations

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 8>get shorter come playoff time, but we also know that

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 8>with the Sixers, especially with Joel Ebiid and some of

0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 8>the other players that they have like Tobias Harris, gets

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 8>a lot of usage. You need to make sure they're

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 8>as well maintained going into the postseason as possible health wise.

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 8>So if some of these guys eventually get moved later

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 8>for a player who can help you, I see them

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 8>as kind of a buffer to get you through the

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:12.960
<v Speaker 8>regular season.

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 7>With all due respect to those players.

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 8>You need guys that can play competent minutes for this team,

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 8>and I think all those guys can, but you can

0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 8>also move them for an individual player who will make

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 8>the rotation shorter come postseason time. It's a stepping stone

0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 8>to where you want to be, and I think you've

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 8>got some good quality NBA veterans that can do that

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:31.440
<v Speaker 8>for you.

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 2>kJ Martin was in the Dunk Contest alongside Mac mcclough,

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 2>a Sixer at the time who won the Dunk Contest,

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 2>but in Salt Lake City last year, kJ Martin was

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 2>part of that field. When it comes to what has

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 2>impressed you the most, Connor with the Sixers start to

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 2>the season, we talked a lot of Maxi. There will

0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 2>be more Maxie talk coming up with in the interview

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 2>other than Tyrese. What has impressed you about this team?

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 8>Kelly Oubres looked like the holy grail of what Sixers

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 8>fans have wont it for so long. We've been talking

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 8>about athletic wing who can create their own shot for

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 8>so long, and they've gotten wings that can shoot it.

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 8>They've gotten wings that might be able to get to

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 8>the cup a little bit. But he's looked like the

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 8>full package as far as a guy that can come

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 8>off the bench and create scoring. I mean, we know

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 8>in past year's Tobias Harris has played a lot of

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 8>time with bench players in that type of rotation because

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 8>you need somebody who can score the basketball at that rate.

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 8>And Kelly Ubra has now gotten to a point at

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 8>least through a small sample size where he's looked like

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 8>he's given you that scoring punch off the bench. So

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 8>I've been so impressed with what he's done shortly. I

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 8>know we talked about consistency with him, and that's going

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 8>to be a key. He's got to keep doing it

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 8>and I don't know how realistic that is, but if

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 8>you can get that type of scoring from the bench,

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 8>that's been a big week spot for the Sixers teams

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 8>of the past.

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 7>I love that so.

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Far without even shooting it all that well right as

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 2>well as he can. Yes, Ubra still scoring and leading

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 2>the bench, scoring most nights without making as many threes

0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 2>as he's accustomed to making in his career. Again, coming

0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 2>off that twenty point season in Charlotte. Talking about Joel

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Embiid though Lauren his approach has been different from what

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 2>we've seen in past seasons.

0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:10.640
<v Speaker 3>It's interesting.

0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.919
<v Speaker 1>The first night of training camp, Nick Nurse asked this

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 1>team to keep an open mind, and he's been very

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.680
<v Speaker 1>open about the fact that he wants Joel Embiid to

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:21.199
<v Speaker 1>try new things, to experiment with things, to fail at things,

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and toss that stuff out to try new things that

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 1>work and keep that in their playoff toolkit.

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.400
<v Speaker 3>I think we really really.

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Saw it on Sunday against Portland and the home opener

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.199
<v Speaker 1>with Joelle's defensive aggression. I want to talk about his

0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 1>six blocks. He's leaving the team in blocks again. Early

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.640
<v Speaker 1>days but three blocks per game is exactly what Nick

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.159
<v Speaker 1>Nurse was hoping that Joel would bring in terms of

0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 1>intensity on the defensive end. He's been vocal about the

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 1>fact that he wants Joelle just swinging at st The

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 1>more swings you take, the more likely you are to

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 1>hit and hit he did in a really, really big

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 1>way with those six blocks on Sunday. So watching him

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 1>sort of round into form offensively obviously as the three

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 1>games have gone along, I mean, his performance on Sunday

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.120
<v Speaker 1>was quite literally a historic performance.

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Would have loved to see.

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.359
<v Speaker 1>Him go five to five, five, five, not quite not

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:11.240
<v Speaker 1>quite there, but to see him grab those or swat

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 1>rather those those six blocks and.

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 3>See them come in different ways.

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Seeing him really get after it this early in this

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 1>season on that end of the floor, I know, is

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>something that the coaching staff is encouraging and it's awesome

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to see him answering the.

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Call this early early days. But seven assists per game

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.960
<v Speaker 2>as well, he's coming off four point two assists per game,

0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.240
<v Speaker 2>and there's more dribble handoffs dhos with Maxie and you

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 2>had a clip of this as well on social media,

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.919
<v Speaker 2>and Nick Nurse has talked about Maxie's speed driving to

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 2>the right, but then his prowess of going to the

0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 2>left and shooting. And we've seen that play a few

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 2>times involving the two man game of Embiid and Tyrese

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Maxi and him shooting that three from the left wing.

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, the two of them worked out together, Joelle and

0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Tyrese over the summer in a pretty significant way compared

0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.400
<v Speaker 1>two years past. They worked with Joelle's longtime trainer, Drew

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Hanlin together in LA They've been working together now in Philadelphia.

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 1>They're spending time before and after practice shooting on the

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.520
<v Speaker 1>same basket together. That chemistry is something that they built

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 1>in Tyresee's rookie season.

0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 3>We talk about that in the interview that's coming up.

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.679
<v Speaker 1>But watching the way that they've gone from sort of

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:21.199
<v Speaker 1>this big brother little brother relationship to a true partnership

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 1>of two guys that really like each other and really

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 1>respect each other has been such a treat. And I

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:30.119
<v Speaker 1>think that we're really just getting started. I know I'm

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.480
<v Speaker 1>high on them for Game three, but when you think

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.919
<v Speaker 1>about some iconic duos that we've had in the past,

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:36.360
<v Speaker 1>all the ingredients are there.

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:37.679
<v Speaker 3>When you look at tyres.

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.800
<v Speaker 8>And Joel together, I mean they look awesome and the

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 8>Embide thing just real quick, Like, it's so cool to

0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 8>have Nick Nurse here because he was a guy when

0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.200
<v Speaker 8>he was the head coach of the Raptors that did

0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.439
<v Speaker 8>such a good job of taking Joel Embiid out of

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.639
<v Speaker 8>his comfort zone. And when you get a guy like

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 8>that to now tell Imbeide what he was doing against

0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 8>him and what he needs to change about his game

0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.920
<v Speaker 8>to become even harder to guard, it's a great thing.

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 8>There's an interesting chemistry with this team that's building only

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:03.560
<v Speaker 8>through three games.

0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 7>I can't wait to see it continue to develop.

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Embiid, Maxy and Kelly Ubre as well. Also it Drew Hanlin,

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:11.960
<v Speaker 2>a guy that works out with him in the offseason,

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:15.400
<v Speaker 2>so an interesting connection there. Connor favorite Halloween candy. Oh,

0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 2>it's races, come on, Like.

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 1>There's top three, bottom three, top three, bottom three, top three.

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 8>I'm going Receas, I'm going kit Kats is a great

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 8>pick and I gotta go to the Nesley crunch bar.

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 8>That one's awesome, big time underrated. The worst milk DoD

0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:32.080
<v Speaker 8>suck candy corn shouldn't even exist. That's basically like eating

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:35.800
<v Speaker 8>candle wax. And the last one are candy buttons still

0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 8>a thing? Do they still make those?

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:37.480
<v Speaker 6>I think so?

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:38.439
<v Speaker 7>Yeah? Those are terrible.

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 3>Carry three for three and being bottom three today.

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I would put it in there too, and we'll find

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.880
<v Speaker 2>out if Tyrese Maxy has that. Well, we just found out,

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:47.680
<v Speaker 2>but I spoiled it.

0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:48.280
<v Speaker 3>I spoiled it.

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:50.120
<v Speaker 1>But Candy corn if you asked me too, it's six

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:51.400
<v Speaker 1>for six and being bottom three.

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:52.880
<v Speaker 3>What a ridiculous excuse.

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 2>For a candy sit down with Tyrese, Maxi and Lauren

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Rosen coming up on the other side, Connor Thomas, thanks

0:20:57.960 --> 0:20:58.719
<v Speaker 2>so much for joining us.

0:20:58.760 --> 0:20:59.320

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to a Halloween edition of Sixers in sixty,

0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 2>our weekly Sixers show, Matt Murphy and Lauren Rosen Tuesday nights,

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.240
<v Speaker 2>six to seven o'clock. We hope you'll join us all

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.320
<v Speaker 2>season long. We'll have guests all season long, and a

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:37.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of times those will be seventy six Ers players themselves.

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 2>We heard from Deanthony Melton, We will hear from Tyrese

0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Maxi in just a moment from this morning actually following

0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:48.600
<v Speaker 2>the team's practice. Kind of an odd stretch of the

0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 2>schedule after the weekend back to back, which were games

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.359
<v Speaker 2>two and three of the season. It's not often that

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:58.159
<v Speaker 2>you get three days off between games.

0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Three games in four days, three games and four days

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to start the season, and then three days off consecutively,

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 1>like you said, strange, but gave the team an opportunity

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to get some well deserved rest yesterday. A road home

0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.919
<v Speaker 1>back to back always a challenge, but particularly when you

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 1>have to clear customs in the middle of the night,

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.879
<v Speaker 1>is a road home back to back challenging. And the

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Sixers did that on Saturday night and still came out

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:26.439
<v Speaker 1>swinging literally on Sunday, talking of course about Joelle's six

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:30.200
<v Speaker 1>blocks in that one. But yes, well deserved rest. Back

0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>in practice today, another practice day tomorrow, hopefully featuring some

0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 1>new faces for the crew, and then back into competitive

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:39.080
<v Speaker 1>action on Thursday.

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:39.879
<v Speaker 3>And this, of course is.

0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:43.920
<v Speaker 1>A season long five game homestand with an extra three

0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:45.879
<v Speaker 1>days of rest, so this is by far the longest

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:47.440
<v Speaker 1>chunk of time the Sixers are going to be able

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to spend in Philadelphia getting really comfortable with one another

0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 1>as the season continues to get off the ground.

0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>I was very much enjoying Tom mcguinness's description of the

0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 2>travel back from Toronto during the last game against Portland

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.959
<v Speaker 2>and terminal A and all that that entailed. It was

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:08.199
<v Speaker 2>entertaining as always from Tom. And you can listen to

0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 2>all Sixers games here on the Sixers Radio Network throughout

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.399
<v Speaker 2>the season. We will talk towards the end of the

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:17.879
<v Speaker 2>show tonight about what the upcoming schedule looks like because

0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 2>for as much as the weekend back to back from

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 2>a logistics standpoint was difficult, Portland at the time hadn't won.

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 2>They have since won, But there are some big name

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:32.719
<v Speaker 2>opponents coming to Philadelphia in this home heavy month of November,

0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:36.359
<v Speaker 2>which is right around the corner because it is Halloween.

0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 2>You talk about being well rested, for those who woke

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:43.600
<v Speaker 2>up to the trade news, they may not be well

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:48.080
<v Speaker 2>rested today or this evening, and Adrian wo Wojnarowski from

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:51.040
<v Speaker 2>ESPN was reporting that James Harden, PJ. Tucker, and Philip

0:23:51.040 --> 0:23:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Patrushev going to the LA Clippers for Marcus Morris, Robert Covington,

0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Nick Batoomb, kJ Martin, and a whole lot of draft picks,

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 2>including an unprotected for round pick in twenty twenty eight

0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:05.159
<v Speaker 2>and an additional first round pick from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

0:24:05.200 --> 0:24:09.840
<v Speaker 2>But we mentioned how much Tyrese Maxi's development plays into

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:12.959
<v Speaker 2>what now happens. It's been him and de Anthony Melton

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:17.440
<v Speaker 2>starting in the back court. And something that you asked

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 2>him about, or he has talked about and others have

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:22.680
<v Speaker 2>talked about is the new coach, Nick Nurse, the impact

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:26.520
<v Speaker 2>that he's had in giving them confidence, and some of

0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:32.120
<v Speaker 2>that includes awards at practice, which is in Sixers All

0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:34.119

<v Speaker 7>Check that out.

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 2>But you can give us a little bit more about

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.480
<v Speaker 2>what they're playing for in practice and when they evaluate

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 2>game tape, what they earn points for and things like that.

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for a visual representation of what I'm about to explain,

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 1>make sure you check out Sixers All Access that's on

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:53.480

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 1>and beyond, and Matt, as you alluded to, Nick likes

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that the team as little ways to

0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 1>get extra motivated throughout practice. It's a long season. You

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:06.479
<v Speaker 1>gotta pepper in ways. I mean, this is true of

0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:08.720
<v Speaker 1>anyone in any job, right. You don't have to be

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 1>a pro basketball player to need things to motivate you

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:13.680
<v Speaker 1>in the day to day grind of your job.

0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:15.680
<v Speaker 3>It's just facts, no matter what. Right.

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:18.440
<v Speaker 1>So one of the things that they're doing is having

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 1>little contests within not just games, but practices today for example,

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:25.560
<v Speaker 1>And the players don't know when practice is going on,

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.159
<v Speaker 1>what exactly is being charted for that day, what exactly

0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:30.440
<v Speaker 1>will be rewarded that day.

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 3>So sometimes it's deflections, it steals its eagles.

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:36.959
<v Speaker 1>That's a great question, madam. So glad you asked. It's

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 1>exactly what it sounds like. It's when players Nick Nurse

0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 1>has emphasized the fact that this is a team that

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:44.359
<v Speaker 1>has a ton of length, and that's not something that

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:46.160
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about. Even the guards, a lot of them

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 1>have many wingspans. Absolutely, so this team has been abundant

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 1>in length since its inception in the off season, but

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.479
<v Speaker 1>Nick Nurse encouraging the guys to really show off that

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:02.440
<v Speaker 1>wings span, show off those wings. Those eagles wings definitely

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:04.399
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a nod to the market in

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:07.080
<v Speaker 1>which Nick is now coaching, right, But an eagle is

0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:09.760
<v Speaker 1>anytime that you're spreading your arms out on defense, right,

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:12.600
<v Speaker 1>getting back, spreading your arms out, immediately, showing that length

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and literally.

0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Rewarded, yes, literally the whole time, run down the court

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:22.560
<v Speaker 1>The idea is that you're intimidating the offense. You're dissuading

0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 1>them from going at any particular defender on the floor.

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>You're making passes a little bit harder. I mean, it

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 1>seems even someone who hasn't played the game like me,

0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 1>understands this. It is very simple, right, But not all

0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 1>teams are doing it. The Sixers are doing a lot

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 1>of it. So now that we've talked about it, watch

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:40.040
<v Speaker 1>them on Thursday night. You'll see the eagles abound.

0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:40.199
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes, as Tyrese mentioned, they're tracking eagles. They're tracking deflections,

0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:46.920
<v Speaker 1>they're tracking blocked shots, they're tracking.

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Diving for loose balls.

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Everything is being tracked by this coaching staff and at

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the end of practice there are certain things that are rewarded.

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:57.840
<v Speaker 1>So following Sunday Night's win, today in practice, the Sixers

0:26:57.880 --> 0:27:01.720
<v Speaker 1>were rewarded for blocks, Joel Embiid with a game high

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:07.360
<v Speaker 1>six blocks. Tyrese Maxey was rewarded for his ten rebounds.

0:27:07.560 --> 0:27:09.640
<v Speaker 1>And Tyrese has been great all season. He's been great

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:11.639
<v Speaker 1>for his whole career. But one thing that I didn't

0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:15.159
<v Speaker 1>have on my bingo sheet for Sixers Blazers on Sunday

0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:19.159
<v Speaker 1>night was Tyrese Maxi career high ten rebounds in a

0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:22.880
<v Speaker 1>single game. So Joel and Tyrese were celebrated after practice today.

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 1>They put on these costumes, they get the rocky theme

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:30.000
<v Speaker 1>song plays and they're given boxing gloves and robes and belts,

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 1>and Joel had a weird hat.

0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:33.240
<v Speaker 3>It was a whole thing. They were happy.

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Look, we're all kids at heart, we all love being competitive,

0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and the Sixers, of course, are a heightened version of

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.520
<v Speaker 1>kids at heart that love to be competitive. And we

0:27:43.560 --> 0:27:44.919
<v Speaker 1>get to see that at the end of practice. They

0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:47.720
<v Speaker 1>are competing in these practices. These practices are not easy,

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:50.399
<v Speaker 1>so to watch them cracksmiles at the end for winning

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:51.760
<v Speaker 1>these little games within the game.

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:52.880
<v Speaker 3>It is always a lot of fun.

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.600
<v Speaker 2>You're sit down with Tyrese Maxey is coming right up

0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:59.920
<v Speaker 2>here on Sixers in sixty Matt Murphy with Lauren rose

0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:04.240
<v Speaker 2>in right now. And the difference is that, unlike NBA players,

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:06.200
<v Speaker 2>you and I, if we were spreading our our Eagles

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 2>wings our wingspan is not as high as our height

0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:10.520
<v Speaker 2>or as tall as our height.

0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>So theirs is my wingspan least a lot to be desired.

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:16.439
<v Speaker 1>For those that don't know, I'm five to three on

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:19.399
<v Speaker 1>my best day and my wingspan doesn't come close to

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:23.959
<v Speaker 1>that really really high mark. Interesting, but enough about it the

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:25.359
<v Speaker 1>fact that's what you learn on six ers.

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:28.399
<v Speaker 2>And second, enough about our playing careers. I think a

0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:30.320
<v Speaker 2>couple of notable stats I want to throw in about

0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Maxi before the interview is the nineteen assists to three

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:37.359
<v Speaker 2>turnovers and the fifty six percent three point percentage fourteen

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 2>of twenty five. Perhaps that is not a surprise, but

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:45.960
<v Speaker 2>the nineteen assists to three turnovers is perhaps better than

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 2>you could have hoped for him to start through three games,

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 2>and asking.

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Him after the game in Toronto, at that point he

0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 1>only had one turnover on the season. I asked him

0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 1>what he was proudest of, his scoring, his assisting, or

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:01.240
<v Speaker 1>his lack of turno and he said that the one

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:03.720
<v Speaker 1>turnover is actually the only thing that he was upset about.

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:06.080
<v Speaker 1>So far okay. I said, well, then what are you

0:29:06.080 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the most proud of? And he said that one turnover

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:11.160
<v Speaker 1>because protecting the ball is so important. It's something that

0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 1>he's been criticized for before, not necessarily a tendency to

0:29:15.680 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>turn the ball over, but whether or not Tyrese Maxi

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:21.400
<v Speaker 1>at age twenty two, as a fourth year six or

0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 1>playing alongside the reigning MVP can do a good enough

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:28.680
<v Speaker 1>job taking care of distributing and really running the floor

0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 1>as a point guard.

0:29:29.480 --> 0:29:31.880
<v Speaker 3>So far, so good. He knows he has a ways

0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:32.960
<v Speaker 3>to grow, right, but we're.

0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Seeing it on a game by game level embiid seven assists.

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 2>He's been cutting down on the turnovers a bit as well,

0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 2>which is not to be like totally expected with the

0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 2>way that Nick Nurse has these guys playing, but we've

0:29:48.440 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 2>talked a lot about it and now we're going to

0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 2>get to at the Eastern Conference Player of the Week

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:56.560
<v Speaker 2>after averaging thirty six point seven rebounds six point three

0:29:56.600 --> 0:30:01.800
<v Speaker 2>assists per game, Tyrese Maxi chatted with Lauren Rosen this

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 2>morning after practice.

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Hyr Snaxy Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the

0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 1>first time. What was your reaction when you heard the

0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 1>news who told you my mom.

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 6>My mom told me, I know what she was really

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 6>talking about. But then she was like, it's on Twitter.

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 6>My grandmother knows everything, so she told my mom and

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:24.600
<v Speaker 6>then my mom told me. So I was just like, okay,

0:30:24.680 --> 0:30:27.880
<v Speaker 6>that's cool. I didn't really know it. No official into

0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 6>the sixty star posting. So that's great. Meant it meant

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:33.120
<v Speaker 6>a lot to me because not because the individual war,

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 6>because we've been winning. You know, that's the only way

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:37.960
<v Speaker 6>you get those type of wars. Just like Joel Lasher

0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:41.120
<v Speaker 6>gett the MVP. We had the only reason why he

0:30:41.120 --> 0:30:42.720
<v Speaker 6>could get that because we were winning. You know, he

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:44.560
<v Speaker 6>was helping us win. In so it means we're doing

0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:45.960
<v Speaker 6>something right and I'm happy for it.

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask about your relationship with Joelle, and

0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to go back sort of to the beginning.

0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 1>True or false that he challenged you to score forty

0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:56.400
<v Speaker 1>points the night that you scored thirty nine points against Denver.

0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 6>True. True, He asked me could I score forty and

0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 6>I totally yeah, and then you know it happened. I

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 6>think that's just kind of where the relationship began. You know,

0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 6>A little big brother, a little brother or whatever you

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 6>want to call it, but I appreciate him because for

0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:11.360
<v Speaker 6>when the MVP, when someone I have a guy that

0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 6>Calber has confidence to you to score forty your night

0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:16.880
<v Speaker 6>tip game of your NBA career after you haven't been

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 6>playing really or you played a little bit, but not

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:22.880
<v Speaker 6>to that caliber caliber. It's great, man, and I appreciate

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:23.480
<v Speaker 6>of loaning for that.

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 1>And at the time, you were nineteen years old, No, I.

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:31.400
<v Speaker 6>Had just no twenty years O lordy, you were twenty

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:33.120
<v Speaker 6>years old. Yeah, I just turned twenty.

0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:35.680
<v Speaker 1>And this is someone who's already in the MVP conversation. Right.

0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 1>So now we fast forward three years and you guys

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:40.840
<v Speaker 1>have developed a partnership that's now going to be even

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:44.720
<v Speaker 1>more sort of in the eyes of everybody, really prominently, right,

0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:48.840
<v Speaker 1>So how do you describe the distance between that night

0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 1>when this is someone that you sort of look up

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 1>to and don't really have a relationship with to now

0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:56.040
<v Speaker 1>when you guys have like a true tough partnership in

0:31:56.080 --> 0:31:57.719
<v Speaker 1>this league that people are taking notice of.

0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 6>In week one, crazy you know, kind of crazy things

0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 6>happen fasten fast like this. My my time here is

0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 6>so much has changed so much as we've been through

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 6>a lot, but it's all good, good things. Man. You know,

0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:15.440
<v Speaker 6>it's all positive. There always been positive Organs actually been positive.

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:19.680
<v Speaker 6>Coaching staff is positive, in the team around, it's pretty positive.

0:32:20.080 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 6>So when you have that, we have guys that go

0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 6>out there and want to compete, it makes it easier.

0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:25.520
<v Speaker 6>It makes it easier. And when you have somebody like

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:28.080
<v Speaker 6>Joel who believes in you, it makes the game way easier.

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:29.320
<v Speaker 6>You can go out there, you can play free, you

0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:31.800
<v Speaker 6>play concert and play yourself and play through mistakes.

0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Three really strong performances from you so far. In Milwaukee.

0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I know you guys felt just short, but you were

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:41.160
<v Speaker 1>great than in Toronto, where you own some real estate.

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 1>It is my understanding these days, maybe the mayor of Toronto.

0:32:44.200 --> 0:32:46.680
<v Speaker 1>And then at home coming back against Matisstible in the

0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Portland Trailblazers. What stands out to you so far in

0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:50.920
<v Speaker 1>terms of your three good performances.

0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 6>I think that we've had a chance to win every

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:58.040
<v Speaker 6>single time, you know what I mean. Like, that's the

0:32:58.200 --> 0:32:59.719
<v Speaker 6>like I keep telling, I keep saying that if that's

0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:02.960
<v Speaker 6>the main thing, if whatever I can do to help

0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:04.840
<v Speaker 6>my team be in a position to win games at

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 6>the end, that's that's what makes me happy. First game,

0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 6>I feel scoring, not turn the ball over, second game scoring,

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 6>trying to get Joe Well involved, playing defense.

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Hitting shots.

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:17.080
<v Speaker 6>Last game, shoot, I had ten rebounds for the first

0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:19.680
<v Speaker 6>time in my career. So it's like this, This coaching

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:22.400
<v Speaker 6>staff has challenged me to do different things and lead,

0:33:22.960 --> 0:33:24.840
<v Speaker 6>and I think that's what I've been trying to do.

0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 6>It helped us win games and it's been working out

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:28.440
<v Speaker 6>so far, so I keep it going.

0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Is the rebounding thing and your attention to defense this

0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:34.760
<v Speaker 1>season related because they weren't like fake rebounds, They weren't

0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:37.040
<v Speaker 1>long rebounds to get you out on the break. They

0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:41.200
<v Speaker 1>were real rebounds. Right, Yeah, where's that coming from?

0:33:41.920 --> 0:33:43.480
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. You know. I was telling my dad

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:46.280
<v Speaker 6>the other day. He was he was committed Joe Will,

0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:48.800
<v Speaker 6>how hard he was going to the glass, how hard

0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 6>he was blocking shots. He was asking, like, what do

0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:53.120
<v Speaker 6>you think that that would? I said, you know what, honestly,

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:55.320
<v Speaker 6>I think it's I think it's Coach Nurse, Like he's

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:59.200
<v Speaker 6>giving us these awards, given us these congratulations, were going

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:01.760
<v Speaker 6>to the glass, rebounding it for boxing now, for being

0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:03.520
<v Speaker 6>your Eagles, for being in the help, you know what

0:34:03.560 --> 0:34:05.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm saying. So it's like we're it's a game within

0:34:06.000 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 6>the game. So you know what I'm saying. It makes

0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:10.279
<v Speaker 6>guys go out there and compete way harder, and then

0:34:10.320 --> 0:34:12.520
<v Speaker 6>it also makes our team better. So it's like because

0:34:12.600 --> 0:34:16.160
<v Speaker 6>nurses psychologically making us go out there and do different

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:18.000
<v Speaker 6>things that we maybe haven't done in the past.

0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:18.239
<v Speaker 4>And it's working.

0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:19.960
<v Speaker 1>What makes you proud of a biggest sis night or

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:20.879
<v Speaker 1>a big rebounding night.

0:34:21.800 --> 0:34:24.239
<v Speaker 6>We don't know, man, Maybe maybe it's six night. I mean,

0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:26.319
<v Speaker 6>my guys are going and guys are making shots and

0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:27.319
<v Speaker 6>we're having fun out there.

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Last question, Three favorite Halloween candies and three least favorite

0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Halloween candies.

0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:36.719
<v Speaker 6>Least favorite it's candy corn in there? Can Can that

0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:38.680
<v Speaker 6>be one? Candy corn is one?

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Mmmm?

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:43.240
<v Speaker 6>Lack of taffy.

0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:48.560
<v Speaker 1>This is least Okay? What flavors specifically the latta.

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:53.520
<v Speaker 6>The yellow ones yellow, the yellow one. Uh oh God,

0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 6>think of another one. I don't like anything dark chocolate.

0:34:58.920 --> 0:35:01.560
<v Speaker 6>Dark chocol's pretty nasty. Milk chocolate is pretty good, but

0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:09.960
<v Speaker 6>dark chocolates pretty disgusting. Favorite Jolly Ranchers flavor green watermelon.

0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:11.839
<v Speaker 6>I like those, those are pretty good.

0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Justice for cherry, the best flavor.

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:20.400
<v Speaker 6>Cherry is good too. Yeah, so jolly ranchers. It's difficult,

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:22.879
<v Speaker 6>Esius gotta say that.

0:35:23.640 --> 0:35:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Is that like a branding thing or is that like

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:25.920
<v Speaker 1>an actual thing?

0:35:26.160 --> 0:35:27.600
<v Speaker 6>No, I actually like them. I just don't eat them

0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:29.680
<v Speaker 6>anymore because people always used to give them for my

0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:32.240
<v Speaker 6>birthday and stuff, so I don't eat them like that anymore.

0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:36.520
<v Speaker 6>I'm very self to eat them. And I like, uh,

0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:41.239
<v Speaker 6>those little what they called like sour straws, but they're

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:43.520
<v Speaker 6>in like the single packages. My mom just brought me

0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:46.880
<v Speaker 6>signed to pass out sour yeah, like sour pastras, but

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:50.840
<v Speaker 6>they're in a single package thicker. Yeah, exactly exactly. They're

0:35:50.880 --> 0:35:52.720
<v Speaker 6>in a single package. My mom just brought me signed

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:53.680
<v Speaker 6>to pass out today.

0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:55.880
<v Speaker 1>For I was gonna say, are you going to be entertaining?

0:35:56.560 --> 0:35:58.640
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna go to the JAS Halloween party and then

0:35:58.680 --> 0:36:01.279
<v Speaker 6>I'll come back and out and it's trigger treaters though,

0:36:01.880 --> 0:36:03.480
<v Speaker 6>have some fun with him, laugh a little bit if

0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:04.399
<v Speaker 6>they come, who knows.

0:36:04.560 --> 0:36:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Well. I hope you have a great time tonight at Halloween.

0:36:06.880 --> 0:36:08.359
<v Speaker 1>Tyrese Maxnee, thanks for joining us.

0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:12.399
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate y'all. The Joel Embiid Halloween party tonight.

0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like it, but as you pointed out during the break.

0:36:15.600 --> 0:36:18.880
<v Speaker 1>He did indeed entertain trigger treaters. It looks like pre party,

0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:20.040
<v Speaker 1>which you love to see.

0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I was wondering about that because I didn't assume the

0:36:23.480 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 2>party was late at night. But I'm like, who's going

0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 2>to be trick or treating at Tyresee's after a party?

0:36:29.239 --> 0:36:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Well?

0:36:29.400 --> 0:36:31.879
<v Speaker 2>I always did to go out earlier and earlier these days.

0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:33.560
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Welcome back to six ers and sixty

0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Matt Murphy and Lauren Rosen. Thanks to Tyrese Maxey for

0:36:36.120 --> 0:36:40.200
<v Speaker 2>chatting with us today. With you on Halloween. But yeah,

0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I was a little confused with the timeline. I think

0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:42.800
<v Speaker 2>he had it flipped.

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, happy to see that Tyrese, who has always been

0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:47.520
<v Speaker 1>since the day he got here.

0:36:47.560 --> 0:36:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Man at the people Halloween no.

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:53.239
<v Speaker 2>Exception Halloween party for Joel Embiid. I wonder how many

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:55.640
<v Speaker 2>people will dress up in costume.

0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 3>We'll have to wait and see. I wonder. I wonder

0:36:58.040 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 3>when that some content?

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:03.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah from at sixers, right, I think there should be yes.

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:05.200
<v Speaker 7>Good stuff, good stuff.

0:37:05.239 --> 0:37:05.680
<v Speaker 6>I love it.

0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Thanks to Tyrese Maxi for joining us on six ers

0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:13.520
<v Speaker 2>in sixty. His start to the season has been not

0:37:13.600 --> 0:37:17.600
<v Speaker 2>just a story here in Philadelphia, but across the league,

0:37:18.000 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 2>culminating in the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award,

0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:24.640
<v Speaker 2>and you listen to different shows, you watch different shows,

0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:28.000
<v Speaker 2>it's it is a league wide story right now. And

0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Nick Nurse being the new coach and Joel Embiid following

0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:34.239
<v Speaker 2>up his MVP season with a strong start. Somehow they're

0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:37.600
<v Speaker 2>each still managing to get their scoring numbers, which is

0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:41.399
<v Speaker 2>great to see this two man game, but Embiid's doing

0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:43.160
<v Speaker 2>it in a little of a bit of a different

0:37:43.160 --> 0:37:47.360
<v Speaker 2>way as we talked about. But through the first three games,

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:50.520
<v Speaker 2>is there a moment or something that has stood out

0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:54.360
<v Speaker 2>to you because we've kind of glossed over the games,

0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:58.080
<v Speaker 2>like we've said the record we've given Maxi and embiids

0:37:58.360 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 2>per game stat, but each of those games told a story.

0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:03.879
<v Speaker 2>They could be three and zero, as some of them

0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:06.080
<v Speaker 2>have said. They come up a point short in the opener,

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:10.120
<v Speaker 2>which that shouldn't get lost throughout the season. That they

0:38:10.280 --> 0:38:13.160
<v Speaker 2>lost one to eighteen one seventeen to the Milwaukee Bucks

0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:16.080
<v Speaker 2>on the opening in the opening game for both teams.

0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:18.360
<v Speaker 2>It was two days after the NBA opened up with

0:38:18.480 --> 0:38:21.839
<v Speaker 2>Opening Night, but they overcame a nineteen point deficit in

0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:25.560
<v Speaker 2>that game and ad Anthony Melton banked three at the end,

0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:28.840
<v Speaker 2>made it just a one point loss in their loan loss.

0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:30.759
<v Speaker 2>So when you kind of look at those games more

0:38:30.800 --> 0:38:34.440
<v Speaker 2>in depth, Lauren, is there is there something that you

0:38:34.800 --> 0:38:37.719
<v Speaker 2>liked that's more of a team observation.

0:38:39.400 --> 0:38:41.680
<v Speaker 1>It's a good question. We've talked about Eagles already on

0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 1>this show. Of course, stretching the wingspans and making sure

0:38:45.040 --> 0:38:46.960
<v Speaker 1>that this team is a team that's really hard to

0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:49.800
<v Speaker 1>play against. That was part of Nick Nurse's opening statement,

0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 1>which has media.

0:38:50.880 --> 0:38:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Day resulted in a lot of steals and blocked shots.

0:38:54.280 --> 0:38:58.239
<v Speaker 1>Too, kills, blocks and deflections, and what Coachner said at

0:38:58.520 --> 0:39:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the outset of becoming the coach of the team is

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the biggest impact he wanted to make was to make

0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:05.040
<v Speaker 1>sure that when folks leave the arena at the end

0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 1>of a Sixers game, win or lose, they feel that

0:39:08.520 --> 0:39:10.800
<v Speaker 1>that team played really hard tonight.

0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:12.799
<v Speaker 3>And I think that you're seeing that, And.

0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Of course that's more of a defensive observation, a little

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:18.920
<v Speaker 1>bit less of a quantitative observation. But how's this for

0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:22.239
<v Speaker 1>quantitative observations, Matt. The offense is working too, It's not

0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:25.560
<v Speaker 1>just a defensive team at this point. The Sixers now

0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:29.000
<v Speaker 1>fourth as of Tuesday, evening fourth in the league in

0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:31.920
<v Speaker 1>field goal percentage. They're sitting at fifty percent from the

0:39:31.960 --> 0:39:34.239
<v Speaker 1>field right now, fourth in the league as well from

0:39:34.320 --> 0:39:37.879
<v Speaker 1>three point percentage from three in three point percentage rather

0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:41.560
<v Speaker 1>forty point seven percent from deep. So we're seeing great

0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:44.240
<v Speaker 1>things on offense. We're seeing great things on defense. Leading

0:39:44.239 --> 0:39:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the league in blocks, not just Joell the team leading

0:39:47.280 --> 0:39:48.680
<v Speaker 1>the lead in the league.

0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:52.160
<v Speaker 2>To have him, but they had seventeen in his six

0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:52.799
<v Speaker 2>block game.

0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, great stuff, great stuff from the team across

0:39:56.040 --> 0:39:57.759
<v Speaker 1>the board. You love to see the team leading the

0:39:57.840 --> 0:40:01.160
<v Speaker 1>league in defensive stats and offensive stuff, making those top

0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:04.080
<v Speaker 1>fives this early in the season, especially in a new system,

0:40:05.000 --> 0:40:08.000
<v Speaker 1>it's foreboding of good things to come. Foreboding feels like

0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:10.839
<v Speaker 1>a Halloween ward. But looking ahead at some good things

0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and some scary things for opposing offenses.

0:40:14.120 --> 0:40:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, some measuring stick games on the schedule coming up,

0:40:18.000 --> 0:40:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Lauren Rosen, because not quite Toronto on Thursday at seven pm,

0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:25.600
<v Speaker 2>because they just beat them by seven on the road.

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Can't look past to anyone, but we will do that

0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:31.600
<v Speaker 2>for the sake of our sixers and sixty show here

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 2>as we wind down with Saturday, the Phoenix Suns Kevin Durant,

0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Devin Booker, Bradley Beal big three, but it's really only

0:40:40.320 --> 0:40:43.040
<v Speaker 2>been a big two now, just Durant in their next

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:46.799
<v Speaker 2>game they will play Tuesday night, and their record will

0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:49.480
<v Speaker 2>be different by the time we next talk to everyone.

0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:52.239
<v Speaker 2>But Bradley Beal has been out with backspasms and he

0:40:52.280 --> 0:40:55.760
<v Speaker 2>continued he remains out, and Devin Booker has since sprained

0:40:55.800 --> 0:40:58.799
<v Speaker 2>his ankle. So the Phoenix Sons, who entering their game

0:40:58.840 --> 0:41:02.200
<v Speaker 2>with San Antonio, are two to one. They'll be without

0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:04.880
<v Speaker 2>two of their big three, but still a tall task

0:41:04.880 --> 0:41:06.760
<v Speaker 2>and will monitor their health all week.

0:41:07.040 --> 0:41:09.800
<v Speaker 1>And then, of course, to close out this long home stand,

0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers will host the Washington Wizards, the Boston Celtics.

0:41:13.680 --> 0:41:16.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Suns, and maybe the Celtics more so is
