Speaker 1: This is the Philadelphia has seventy Sixers postgame show. I
Speaker 1: can look about about broad frees hard. He's gonna turn
Speaker 1: and get it off Patty rolling the Sixers postgame show
Speaker 1: right now on Nutty seventy five. The Fanetic six is
Speaker 1: victorious tonight over the Charlotte Horne is winning one oh
Speaker 1: eight ninety four. Right now we head to the head coach.
Speaker 1: Mixture makes him incredibly unique, but it is not interconnected
Speaker 1: to to he's turning it over tonight and it's easier
Speaker 1: for him to just shoot threes. It's not that I've
Speaker 1: got him practicing certain things. Are you talking about like
Speaker 1: more times mental handling and control and in general practicing.
Speaker 1: You know, this season hasn't been that for Joe lmbid.
Speaker 1: It's the most unusual thing that I've ever experienced that
Speaker 1: he's that capable, in that talented to impact a game
Speaker 1: and be selected as a starter on the All Star
Speaker 1: team with effectively not practicing with his team. You know,
Speaker 1: like we're really trying to preserve his health. And my
Speaker 1: message to them, and I've said it to you, is
Speaker 1: during this period, and I've learned this over many years,
Speaker 1: it's like, how do you retain maintain the health to
Speaker 1: deliver them to April. How do you retain this spirit,
Speaker 1: maintain this spirit both a very interconnected and then how
Speaker 1: do you retain maintain the form of just playing good basketball?
Speaker 1: And they're all kind of intertwined. If you can arrive
Speaker 1: to a playoff ticking those three boxes, the healthy, the cockey,
Speaker 1: the spirits are up and they're playing good basketball. I
Speaker 1: like our chances. I think that we can go into
Speaker 1: the playoffs and be something a little bit unique. Is
Speaker 1: this something where it's primarily because it never played his
Speaker 1: money mantes or can you see him practicing more in
Speaker 1: future years with the future If I do, I think
Speaker 1: in future years for sure, for sure. Like we we're
Speaker 1: navigating this year and we're learning some things. I think
Speaker 1: that Joel, you know, is so competitive that he wants
Speaker 1: to play every game and wants to play back to backs,
Speaker 1: and it's a little bit pulling teeth right now of
Speaker 1: deciding what game is he gonna sit. You know, we
Speaker 1: got a back to back coming up, nothing's been decided.
Speaker 1: And trying to respect his voice. It's his body, he
Speaker 1: feels himself, he's put in physically, he looks good. It's
Speaker 1: not like he's overweight, he's cut up, he looks good.
Speaker 1: But the feel of the game, the flow of the sport,
Speaker 1: you know, can catch playing in a crowd, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's not comfortable at times. Because of that, I
Speaker 1: believe it's a collaborative thing. It's it's led by Joel Embiat,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, supported by the medical staff, listened
Speaker 1: to by me. I'm a recipient of news and I've
Speaker 1: learned that that I should be a recipient. I don't
Speaker 1: fight it. I don't fight it. I listened and I
Speaker 1: listened to him, and we should all be thrilled that
Speaker 1: he's always that he's having the season that he's having
Speaker 1: with the knowledge of watch out, Look what he can be, like, really,
Speaker 1: look what he can be once he starts interacting and
Speaker 1: practicing with his team and getting his health where everybody's comfortable.
Speaker 1: That was Sixers head coach Brett Brown outside of the
Speaker 1: locker room after a Sixers win one h eight ninety four.
Speaker 1: Hello all again, I'm divine. Given's here with you on
Speaker 1: the postgame show Live from the Center after the Sixers
Speaker 1: win their third straight game and third straight overall over
Speaker 1: the Charlotte Hornets. Having played them three times this month
Speaker 1: thus far, one more coming on Easter Sunday. As Tom
Speaker 1: again has pointed out during the broadcast, is Brett Brown
Speaker 1: alluded to as we joined the postgame press conference, Joel
Speaker 1: and beat his all star center was fantastic tonight to
Speaker 1: He finished with twenty five points in nineteen rebounds, four
Speaker 1: block shots, ten of seventeen from the floor, four of
Speaker 1: six from behind the three point line, with thirty one
Speaker 1: minutes and six seconds not four personal fouls, but he
Speaker 1: didn't really have that much of foul trouble overall throughout
Speaker 1: the night, even though he was playing against Dwight Howard,
Speaker 1: who was very active. In turn, Joel Embi got Dwight
Speaker 1: Howard in foul trouble yet again for the second straight game.
Speaker 1: So overall, Joel Embie really good tonight, helping the Sixers
Speaker 1: pick up their thirty ninth win on the season right
Speaker 1: now thirty nine and thirty in the Eastern Conference to
Speaker 1: a big win for the Philadelphia seventy sixers yet again.
Speaker 1: Also Ben Simmons in the win another trip will double hit,
Speaker 1: the ninth of the season eleven points, fifteen assists, twelve rebounds,
Speaker 1: only taking nine shots but the way the game flowed,
Speaker 1: he didn't really need to contribute in that way. He
Speaker 1: picked his spot to when he wanted to shoot, finishing
Speaker 1: four of nine from the field. Overall, did get to
Speaker 1: the free throw line, converting three or four, but yet again,
Speaker 1: just a way to get it done. Eleven points, fifteen
Speaker 1: to sis, twelve boards in thirty three minutes with zero
Speaker 1: turnovers for the rookie point guard. Another superb night four
Speaker 1: Joe Ben Simmons on the evening. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we'd take a quick run back and connect with Tom
Speaker 1: McGinnis as we discussed this big win again for the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy six is now thirty nine and thirty on
Speaker 1: this season. This is the postgame show I'm Divine Givens
Speaker 1: Live from the Center. Six is victorious for the third
Speaker 1: game in a row as a pickup game, winning number
Speaker 1: thirty nine one Season one O eight ninety four over
Speaker 1: the Charlotte Horness. Charlotte Horns dropped the thirty and forty
Speaker 1: one Sixes improve again to thirty nine to thirty. I'm
Speaker 1: Divine Givens. This is the postgame show on the Sixers
Speaker 1: Radio Network and we are rejoined by the great Tom
Speaker 1: McGinnis and Tom when we talked about this earlier, it
Speaker 1: was about not letting up on the team, no matter
Speaker 1: who it was, making sure you established things early. Got
Speaker 1: off to a little rough start at the end of
Speaker 1: the first quarter they were down, but they did pick
Speaker 1: it up in a third quarter when needed. Most time. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: they trailed. They actually led after one, but trailed at
Speaker 1: the half. After a big quarter by Billy Hernan Gomez,
Speaker 1: who did not score after that. He had fifteen of
Speaker 1: his career high seventeen in the second, and then a
Speaker 1: knockout punch by the Sixers. They hold Charlotte to fourteen
Speaker 1: points in the third, rack up thirty two themselves. They
Speaker 1: had seven made threes in that third quarter. And isn't
Speaker 1: an interesting that that one segment of a game can
Speaker 1: turn it around. Quite frankly, that's how the Sixers used
Speaker 1: to lose games, and now they're able to land an
Speaker 1: uppercut and knock the opponents back out of the way.
Speaker 1: But having said that, it was again tied at eighty eight.
Speaker 1: The Sixers got up eleven into the fourth, and yet
Speaker 1: then they close out the game twenty to six, and look,
Speaker 1: Charlotte ends up with ninety four points. Here's a stat.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you already said this, but the
Speaker 1: Sixers are seventeen and oh when they hold the opposition
Speaker 1: under one hundred points. So that's pretty good. Brett Brown
Speaker 1: saying before the game, the numbers are trending good, but
Speaker 1: he wants to seat in harder, tougher defense, and I
Speaker 1: thought tonight they had that, and quite frankly, they should
Speaker 1: be Charlotte. I mean, you know, Charlotte came in here
Speaker 1: and Walker had a much better game. But here's a
Speaker 1: team that's down and the Sixers are on the right.
Speaker 1: You got to pound this team, and in the end,
Speaker 1: they took care of their own here at home. Twenty
Speaker 1: four four Kimball Walker in this game, and they were
Speaker 1: able to withstand what he gave you and pretty much
Speaker 1: hold off many of the others, even when you said
Speaker 1: Hernan Gomez with the seventeen at the half, did not
Speaker 1: score after halftime. So that was a great defensive effort
Speaker 1: by the Sixes, specifically Joel Lenbiade. As we get into
Speaker 1: him in the numbers that he put up again twenty
Speaker 1: five and nineteen and thirty one minutes of play, This
Speaker 1: is why you have him he's the All Star. He's
Speaker 1: the difference maker in most games time, and not only
Speaker 1: just the points in the rebounds, but then establishing the
Speaker 1: paint and not allowing things to happen along with the
Speaker 1: four blocks. No, right, he was very good. He's very
Speaker 1: good at even if a player gets by him, recovering
Speaker 1: with his length and athleticism to defend the rim and
Speaker 1: block those balls and come from behind fashion. He's a
Speaker 1: rare player, I mean with the footwork and the ability
Speaker 1: to hit those feathery wing um shots, the four threes
Speaker 1: from out top off the dribble. Now tonight he struggled.
Speaker 1: I thought he rushed a little bit with these turnovers.
Speaker 1: He had nine of them, and they came in all forms.
Speaker 1: Like Brett Brown tries to, you know, decipher the sixers
Speaker 1: overall turnovers tonight you could, you know, drill down and
Speaker 1: find you well. And he just passed the ball a
Speaker 1: little quickly many times when when they doubled, and then
Speaker 1: once they saw that he was turning over, they here
Speaker 1: comes a steady stream of here comes Kaminski, here comes
Speaker 1: a second defender. Quite often. But in the end he
Speaker 1: was really good. I thought, Emir Johnson, it's amazing the
Speaker 1: impact that Emir Johnson has when you know it's not
Speaker 1: twenty something points at ten rebounds, but it's impactful every
Speaker 1: teen single time he's out there. And I thought he
Speaker 1: was really good. They kept Howard out of the game.
Speaker 1: Howard had intermittent foul difficulty, ended up with five. He
Speaker 1: never got to establish anything in the game. And you know,
Speaker 1: the Sixers just three balls not going away. And this
Speaker 1: is they've done this multiple times. They've tied a franchise
Speaker 1: record with eighteen threes. Bell and Elli came in, was big,
Speaker 1: he had four JJ hot early. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: just that that's what you have team for. Ursun didn't
Speaker 1: play particularly well. Dario didn't have one of his best games,
Speaker 1: and yet he had enough guys. Ben with a triple double.
Speaker 1: Here we go into the post game. We haven't even
Speaker 1: mentioned Ben Simmons with this third triple double in the
Speaker 1: last four games. Nine overall, just incredible. I thought they
Speaker 1: did a good job. Teams have been doing a pretty
Speaker 1: good job for the most part keeping Siven. Though he
Speaker 1: takes that dribble below the file line, he's not getting
Speaker 1: all the way to the rim, and then it's a
Speaker 1: very difficult Hier arching ofttimes off handed shot, you know,
Speaker 1: arcing a hook type of shot. Kid Gilchris did a
Speaker 1: good job of keeping Ben away from seb We say
Speaker 1: the restricted area, you know that four by four area
Speaker 1: to the rim. But he impacted the game in a
Speaker 1: big way and a nice win for the Sixers series.
Speaker 1: They they're trying to take care of business, not letting up,
Speaker 1: and they've done it now with three consecutive wins in
Speaker 1: a row. Tom McGinn, he's joining us here on the
Speaker 1: postgame show Live at the Center and Tom one name
Speaker 1: that really you mentioned Amir Johnson and and Nelly also
Speaker 1: have the bench, but one guy have to point out.
Speaker 1: Nineteen minutes and forty six second Justin Anderson came in
Speaker 1: and defensively what he was able to give you out
Speaker 1: on a perimeter and we talk about a plenty as
Speaker 1: you said, they should beat a team like this, and
Speaker 1: if they have aspirations of getting to the postseason. That's
Speaker 1: someone who may get five minutes one night, he may
Speaker 1: get fifteen minutes another night. But tonight overall, both defensively
Speaker 1: and surprising have been on offense. He played a really
Speaker 1: nice game. Well again, he had a lot going on
Speaker 1: prior to the All Star Break when he twists that
Speaker 1: ankle against Miami. And you know, as we've said before,
Speaker 1: he's the type of wing player that you're gonna need.
Speaker 1: You're gonna throw him out on Bradley Beale or Oladipo
Speaker 1: or whomever it might be in terms of he's one
Speaker 1: of those players that is really talented defensively and then oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, if he sticks a couple of threes,
Speaker 1: it's really advantageous. So no, hopefully he can get going here.
Speaker 1: He's certainly been able to. You know, the first time
Speaker 1: he played was back in Charlotte back on March six,
Speaker 1: so he's totally back now and he'll get back into
Speaker 1: the rhythm and you know, the three point shooting with him,
Speaker 1: he's not traditionally been a highly consistent player from there,
Speaker 1: but he's certainly capable. And again, you get a couple
Speaker 1: threes from that guy, maybe three in a game, that's
Speaker 1: a great extra added bonus. And then you add TJ.
Speaker 1: I mean, the second unit is definitely picked it up
Speaker 1: quite a bit and it's gonna be a pivotal part
Speaker 1: of the Sixers success down the stretch. And Lord Willing
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, second Union really starting to establish themselves. Tom,
Speaker 1: But listen, thanks so much for joining us for a
Speaker 1: few minutes. Here. We'll connect on Wednesday, Memphis in town
Speaker 1: here at the center, all right, Thank you. Tom aginnis
Speaker 1: again joining us live on the postgame show as the
Speaker 1: Sixers pick up another victory, the third in a row,
Speaker 1: one oh eight to ninety four over the Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 1: Again off the Benchmarko Bellinelli led the bench unit with
Speaker 1: twenty one points eight to fourteen overall from the floor,
Speaker 1: five three points, five of nine. He had a string
Speaker 1: there in the third quarter where he just didn't seem
Speaker 1: like he was gonna miss when he made three of
Speaker 1: those in that particular quarter, also adding two assists in
Speaker 1: two re bounds on the evening as well, Justin Anderson,
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, one or five from behind the three
Speaker 1: point line, three of seven from the floor. But it
Speaker 1: really doesn't really talk about how important he was for
Speaker 1: this team's victory tonight and being able to help defensively
Speaker 1: and what he's able to do, whether it's on Kimball
Speaker 1: Walker switching to him, over to Jeremy Lamb, or even
Speaker 1: some of the guys off the bench like Malik Monk
Speaker 1: or Dwayne Bacon. Just a solid effort defensively for Justin Anderson.
Speaker 1: Eliosolva quiet night once again, one of seven from the
Speaker 1: floor for only two points. But you know, you're not afraid.
Speaker 1: He's a veteran player, he knows where he needs to be,
Speaker 1: and you're not afraid to give him the ball and
Speaker 1: hopefully have some things come out for him. Also in
Speaker 1: the box score, when you look at things, and we
Speaker 1: talk about assists quite a bit with this team, thirty
Speaker 1: assists on forty two May baskets once again, so it's
Speaker 1: not a lot of one on one, it's all team balls.
Speaker 1: They try to get things going. The passes are constantly
Speaker 1: on the move, and that's one thing that the Sixes
Speaker 1: and Brett Brown pride themselves on and sharing the basketball,
Speaker 1: swinging the basketball to the open man, trying to get
Speaker 1: a shot. Also on the glass, a domination on the
Speaker 1: glass tonight, and we know him Bead had nineteen, Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons had twelve. How about a twenty point advantage on
Speaker 1: the glass over the Charlotte Hornet. So these are the
Speaker 1: type of things that you're going to need as you
Speaker 1: get into that playoff run and the Sixers are starting
Speaker 1: to do the little things in this three game stretch
Speaker 1: to show that this is something that they could probably
Speaker 1: lean on during the postseason. Sixers win one oh eight
Speaker 1: ninety four over the Charlotte Hornets improved to thirty nine
Speaker 1: and thirty on the season. They much needed win for
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers yet again as they get another game
Speaker 1: where they should win on Wednesday against the Memphis Christie's.
Speaker 1: On the other side, we just heard from Tom A. Guinness.
Speaker 1: Now we'll get us highlights and that will be on
Speaker 1: the other side. I'm Divine Givens. This is the postgame
Speaker 1: show here on the Sixers Radio Network. One h eight
Speaker 1: ninety four. That's the final scores. The seventy Sixers pick
Speaker 1: up there thirty ninth win on the season in game
Speaker 1: number sixty nine. Here at the Centum, Divine Givens, this
Speaker 1: is the post game show. Time for some highlights. As
Speaker 1: we start things off with Marco Bellanelli. We talked about
Speaker 1: his three point acumen from behind the yark, but he
Speaker 1: got things started early in the first Corter a little
Speaker 1: closer to the room, Corvyton curls catches off the dribble,
Speaker 1: handoff back to a mirror wrap round down low. It's
Speaker 1: dropped by Ben Simmons to a cunning Bellanelli and Marco Jampson,
Speaker 1: a two hand stuff off a slot drive by Marco Bellanelli.
Speaker 1: I mean it seventeen eight and sixes on a nine
Speaker 1: old run. At that time, you didn't know Marco had
Speaker 1: that in you did it? Had him in, did you?
Speaker 1: So that will put the Sixes up against seventeen to
Speaker 1: eight at the end of the first quarter to Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy sixes. In fact, we're up twenty one to eighteen
Speaker 1: after one coming back, and we talked about the eighteen
Speaker 1: three pointers a tying a franchise record for the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy six. Is one man who you did not necessarily
Speaker 1: expect that from Marco Bellanelli. Yes, Amir Johnson, not so much.
Speaker 1: Simmons of the file line now backing down one up
Speaker 1: to hand out top of mirror. Johnson wide open for
Speaker 1: three locks, loads and shoots it triple Well, there are
Speaker 1: times when the mirror Johnson is so open he has
Speaker 1: to shoot it, and he does. Have made it forty
Speaker 1: to thirty five. Philadelphia seventy six is still in front
Speaker 1: of the Charlotte horns. That was one of two three
Speaker 1: point attempts by the reserve big man in the mir
Speaker 1: Johnson again forty thirty five. A little later, as Dwayne
Speaker 1: Bacon hit a floater, making forty seven forty two Charlotte.
Speaker 1: They went on a ten old run Kimball Walker again
Speaker 1: with a step back jumper and making fifty three forty
Speaker 1: seven Charlotte. But Willie hernan Gomez at the end of
Speaker 1: the first half with a big jumper seven seconds ago.
Speaker 1: They're trying to him in Kimbell Walker four seconds he
Speaker 1: throws it into hernan Gomez three ball from the corner
Speaker 1: is good and why not. He's dominated the first half.
Speaker 1: Billy hernan Gomez fifty six forty nine Charlotte at the
Speaker 1: end of two seventeen points for Billie hernin Gomez for
Speaker 1: the Charlotte, and Horness said the start of the third quarter,
Speaker 1: joeling Bee gets into the mix a little more offensively,
Speaker 1: connecting from deep twice to make it fifty six to
Speaker 1: fifty two and fifty six fifty five. Jj Reddick followed
Speaker 1: up also with one three pointer of his own to
Speaker 1: make it fifty eight fifty six. But the guy off
Speaker 1: the bench that we talked about that was very key tonight.
Speaker 1: With five three pointers. Marco Bellielli again throws it back
Speaker 1: to Simmons. They deflect him, but it goes to Marco.
Speaker 1: He's gonna shoot it Hill again. Mark up bell l
Speaker 1: a hey, Shanna want you to keep me? Three ball
Speaker 1: sex us up by eighth. Back to back three pointers
Speaker 1: by Marco Bellanelli sixty nine sixty four and then that
Speaker 1: one that made it seventy two sixty four six ers.
Speaker 1: He also got into the mix one more time seventy
Speaker 1: five to sixty five with another three pointer, just staying
Speaker 1: in the mix. Marco Bellnelli overall just causing trouble for
Speaker 1: his former team. You heard him speaking with Tom McGinnis
Speaker 1: during the postgame show. Joel Embiid also with another three
Speaker 1: to close out the third quarter, eighty one to seventy.
Speaker 1: At that point at the end of three, that was
Speaker 1: the score eighty one seventy and that was the four
Speaker 1: three four Joel embiad as he again found his mark
Speaker 1: in that third quarter. Dario Schars coming out of the
Speaker 1: out of the end of the third quarter of time out,
Speaker 1: Dario Schars connecting with three off of great effort by
Speaker 1: Mere Johnson with an offensive rebound, kicking it into Schars
Speaker 1: made it eighty eight to eighty three. Malik Monk, the
Speaker 1: rookie from Kentucky very good tonight off the bench for
Speaker 1: thirteen points for the young guard. He did get a
Speaker 1: steel and a dunk to put the tie the game
Speaker 1: up eighty eight eighty eight. Robert Covington then came up
Speaker 1: huge down the stretch, Simmons with a steel, Simmons with numbers,
Speaker 1: Simmons to come free ball, Robert coming to this God.
Speaker 1: He knocks it down for the right side. Simmons on
Speaker 1: the kickout and the Sixers go up eight ninety six
Speaker 1: eighty eight on an eight old run for the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers. Then they made it an eleven old run,
Speaker 1: a courtesy once again by Marco Belinelli, connecting from deep
Speaker 1: his fifth on the evening. Ben Simmons then made two
Speaker 1: free throws to make it one oh one eighty eight
Speaker 1: to put them up with a thirteen oh run, and
Speaker 1: as we know, once again, the Philadelphia seventy Sixers come
Speaker 1: away victorious one oh eight ninety four over the Charlotte Hornets,
Speaker 1: their third straight win overall after beating both the Knicks
Speaker 1: and the Nets coming back tonight after a weekend off
Speaker 1: to beat the Charlotte Hornets one more time, one oh
Speaker 1: eight to ninety four. This is also the third time
Speaker 1: that they beat Charlotte in the month of March. They
Speaker 1: faced them one more time, and that will be in
Speaker 1: two weeks on Sunday, April first, against Charlotte in Charlotte.
Speaker 1: A one o'clock start for them in this four game series,
Speaker 1: so they're already up three oh As Toim again has
Speaker 1: pointed out, they should be the team like the Charlotte
Speaker 1: Hornton We'll look to see if that's how important that
Speaker 1: game is when it comes to playoff seatings overall, as
Speaker 1: the Sixes again start to wind down the stretch, only
Speaker 1: five games remaining on the road in Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte,
Speaker 1: Detroit and Atlanta once again. Nine at home now eight
Speaker 1: after this victory over the Charlotte Hornets to night again,
Speaker 1: the Sixers did tie a franchise record with eighteen made
Speaker 1: three pointers on forty four attempts. Just a solid overall
Speaker 1: a night from behind the ark for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers,
Speaker 1: specifically in the third quarter, not too many free throws
Speaker 1: tonight for your home team. Six of eight from the floor,
Speaker 1: not much going to the basket, but Charlotte Horners did
Speaker 1: do that, which is what really kept them in the game.
Speaker 1: Twenty four or thirty from the free throw line, six
Speaker 1: of twenty two from behind the three point line, So
Speaker 1: a lighter night for the Charlotte Horners from behind three
Speaker 1: point line really got them in trouble. Sixers didn't protect
Speaker 1: the basketball as well as you would have liked. More
Speaker 1: so Joel and B. Outside of his turnovers the nine
Speaker 1: that he put up tonight, only seven as a team
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers overall in terms of the turnovers,
Speaker 1: so sixteen turnovers for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers. As the
Speaker 1: game slows down for Joel and B a little more,
Speaker 1: he figures out what these double teams coming from. Hopefully
Speaker 1: that number will be way lower and that's not something
Speaker 1: that you have to worry about, specifically in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: no matter who the matchup is. After tonight's win, the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy Sixers right now again thirty nine and thirty
Speaker 1: on the season, half a game behind the Washington Wizards
Speaker 1: who hold down the five spot. Indiana and Cleveland both
Speaker 1: one game up on the Philadelphia seventy Sixers, so the
Speaker 1: third overall seed is still very much in sight for
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy Sixers if they handle their business, take
Speaker 1: care of their home games eight of them, take care
Speaker 1: of the teams on the road that are very winnable
Speaker 1: five of those games, starting with Orlando this later on
Speaker 1: this week, the Sixers should positioned himself to be in
Speaker 1: a good spot by seasons. And once again, the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers one oh eight ninety four victorious over the
Speaker 1: Charlotte Hornets thirty nine and thirty on the season, dropping
Speaker 1: Charlotte to thirty and forty one. Have a lot of
Speaker 1: people to think, starting here Marty Dickinson here with us
Speaker 1: at the center back at the studio, the great car Namoli,
Speaker 1: and also the great Alan Yates, Tomy Guinness as well.
Speaker 1: I'll be back with Tom once again on Wednesday as
Speaker 1: we get you ready for a Memphis team that will
Speaker 1: in fact be in town to take on the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers Memphis nineteen and fifty on the season. So
Speaker 1: yet again, one more winnable game for the Philadelphia seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers on their home floor. One last time, Sixers win
Speaker 1: one oh eight ninety four over to Charlotte and Hornets
Speaker 1: back at it here at the Center on Wednesday. So
Speaker 1: for Marty, carl Tom McGinnis, Alan Yates, for everybody here again,
Speaker 1: I'm divine giving Sixers pick up the w a much
Speaker 1: needn't want to continue their winning streak as they move
Speaker 1: on to game number seventy. Now, how about that game
Speaker 1: number seventy. This NBA season is moving along fast. So
Speaker 1: for all the guys here, I'm divine. Givens. This has
Speaker 1: been the post game show on the Sixers Radio network.
Speaker 1: Following the Sixers win, Tom McGinnis had a chance to
Speaker 1: catch up with one of the players afterwards. How about
Speaker 1: Marco Pellinali against his old team. He was with the
Speaker 1: Hornets last year, then with Atlanta, then of course picked
Speaker 1: up are the Sixers and Marco joins the court side. Mark.
Speaker 1: I was just saying, you were with this team last year.
Speaker 1: It has to feel good to knock down five threes
Speaker 1: against your old team. I mean, I had to be honest,
Speaker 1: I don't really care about play against Charlotte them for
Speaker 1: me and for my team. You know, now it's Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: You want to do the best, and you know I
Speaker 1: didn't shoot well in the last couple of games, you know,
Speaker 1: so I just want to be back on a radmon,
Speaker 1: you know, just take my shots, be aggressive and and
Speaker 1: just have the team to win, you know. So just
Speaker 1: it's all about Okay, all about that right now, when
Speaker 1: you are in with him and when you are aggressive,
Speaker 1: are you hunting for your shot? That's how it looked
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, you know, I just need to
Speaker 1: be aggressive. You know, sometimes maybe it's just thinking too much,
Speaker 1: you know about the three point shot or whatever. I
Speaker 1: just need to you know, I'm a shooter. I just
Speaker 1: need to shoot the ball. Be aggressive, and like I
Speaker 1: said before, you know, like I'm really happy to be
Speaker 1: in this team. I'm gonna try to do my best
Speaker 1: to all this team. And right now in the playoff two,
Speaker 1: the halftime conversation, they had a great second quarter, Hernan
