The Sixers fall by twelve. Final tally tonight, 0:02:02.299 --> 0:02:05.739 New York one hundred and eleven the Sixers ninety nine. 0:02:05.779 --> 0:02:07.939 And as I was saying throughout the game, the Sixers 0:02:07.939 --> 0:02:09.819 twenty they were on a pace to score one hundred, 0:02:09.859 --> 0:02:11.939 and they fell just shy twenty five in the first, 0:02:11.979 --> 0:02:15.179 second and third, and in the end they had twenty 0:02:15.219 --> 0:02:18.659 four points in the fourth and New York wins one 0:02:18.659 --> 0:02:21.139 to eleven, ninety nine. Our postgame coverage is brought to 0:02:21.139 --> 0:02:24.339 you by Parks Casino. Seemed as though the Sixers were 0:02:24.379 --> 0:02:27.619 hanging around to give themselves a chance. They just did 0:02:27.619 --> 0:02:31.099 not have that one segment where they could push ahead 0:02:31.139 --> 0:02:33.379 and you know, tie it and take the lead, and 0:02:33.419 --> 0:02:36.899 the Knicks were just in control. And again we're going 0:02:36.939 --> 0:02:40.219 to be joined by Matt Murphy. The Knicks had twelve 0:02:40.259 --> 0:02:43.339 points in transition. So you're like, well, wait, that's not 0:02:43.579 --> 0:02:46.899 a chart topping figure. But I thought the way that 0:02:47.019 --> 0:02:49.539 Hart pushed it, and even town it's made a couple 0:02:49.579 --> 0:02:53.819 of long down court heaves. They really and again, defensive 0:02:53.899 --> 0:02:56.739 transition has been a key for the city us Nick 0:02:56.819 --> 0:02:59.259 nurse part of the game. That's almost every single night 0:02:59.299 --> 0:03:02.139 he talks about that. But I thought the Knicks, you know, 0:03:02.219 --> 0:03:05.219 we're trying to hurry the ball down the court, and 0:03:05.259 --> 0:03:07.699 that wasn't even with and beat. You can see where 0:03:07.699 --> 0:03:09.779 they might want to try that within b just because 0:03:09.899 --> 0:03:13.059 changing ends and not being in peak physical condition in 0:03:13.099 --> 0:03:15.659 that it was his first game. You can see where 0:03:15.659 --> 0:03:17.899 that might have been the strategy. But they they pushed 0:03:17.899 --> 0:03:20.499 it down there and they were solid. So New York 0:03:20.539 --> 0:03:23.619 wins by twelve and Nat Murphy here in the booth 0:03:23.619 --> 0:03:26.979 will pick up our postgame coverage. But they were solid 0:03:27.219 --> 0:03:29.579 and they were the winners tonight. Speaking of the Knicks 0:03:29.619 --> 0:03:31.259 over the Sixers in front of a crowd of just 0:03:31.339 --> 0:03:34.899 under twenty thousand fans, they go one up in the Cup. 0:03:35.339 --> 0:03:38.899 Yeah, seventy six Ers. Cup Nights are presented by Chick 0:03:38.939 --> 0:03:41.819 fil A. Our postgame coverage is presented by Parks Casino. 0:03:41.899 --> 0:03:46.539 One eleven ninety nine Knicks. In the first NBA Cup 0:03:46.579 --> 0:03:48.499 game for both of these teams in East Group A, 0:03:48.659 --> 0:03:53.139 so there's some added significance to the loss for the 0:03:53.139 --> 0:03:56.699 seventy six Ers. You'll play the other three, well, you'll 0:03:56.699 --> 0:03:58.819 play four games you'll play either two at home and 0:03:58.859 --> 0:04:03.139 two on the road, so every game really matters. Now 0:04:03.179 --> 0:04:06.019 your fate is somewhat in the hands of maybe like 0:04:06.059 --> 0:04:08.379 an Orlando Magic team that just went up one to 0:04:08.459 --> 0:04:12.659 zero in the pool against Charlotte. Can they beat the 0:04:12.699 --> 0:04:15.259 Knicks and then you have to beat Orlando that type 0:04:15.259 --> 0:04:17.859 of thing. There is a wild card spot in each conference, 0:04:17.859 --> 0:04:21.379 but just an added layer there to a regular season loss. 0:04:21.419 --> 0:04:23.779 These games count towards the regular season record. So the 0:04:23.779 --> 0:04:26.299 Sixers are two and eight, the Knicks get to five 0:04:26.379 --> 0:04:29.219 hundred at five and five. But tom to your point, 0:04:29.859 --> 0:04:32.699 Knicks came in when we talk about pace possessions their 0:04:32.779 --> 0:04:34.859 last thirtieth in pace in the NBA. 0:04:34.939 --> 0:04:36.779 But you figured with Embiid. 0:04:36.499 --> 0:04:39.659 Coming back, and that was something that coach Nurse identified 0:04:40.019 --> 0:04:42.579 before the game, like as an area where he'd be 0:04:42.659 --> 0:04:46.579 watching Embiid, who Joel Embiid in his first game of 0:04:46.619 --> 0:04:50.099 the season, ends with thirteen points in twenty six plus 0:04:50.339 --> 0:04:53.259 minutes in this game, two for eleven, shooting eight for 0:04:53.339 --> 0:04:55.739 eight at the line. That was all in the first half, 0:04:55.819 --> 0:04:58.019 five assists for him. Paul George had a great game 0:04:58.059 --> 0:05:00.819 twenty nine points, seven for eleven from three with ten 0:05:00.859 --> 0:05:04.379 rebounds and three steals. What did you see from Embiid 0:05:04.419 --> 0:05:05.059 and George? 0:05:05.259 --> 0:05:08.139 Well, first, Paul, George, that that's to me is his 0:05:08.219 --> 0:05:11.659 best game as a sixer. Twenty nine and ten, seven 0:05:11.699 --> 0:05:14.259 of eleven from three. One of them was a bank three. 0:05:14.259 --> 0:05:18.419 But as the Sixers will take it, he was terrific. 0:05:18.539 --> 0:05:21.459 He played thirty two minutes and Joelle, like I said, 0:05:21.459 --> 0:05:24.339 he just did not seem in sync. A little bit 0:05:24.419 --> 0:05:27.379 to be expected in terms of, you know, his debut, 0:05:27.939 --> 0:05:32.339 but normally he's so aggressive and he just off the dribble. 0:05:32.859 --> 0:05:35.579 You know, he owned the nail nail when he's on, 0:05:35.779 --> 0:05:38.419 he owns the nail area right, like just the face 0:05:38.499 --> 0:05:40.579 up where he can wheel and deal and find guys 0:05:40.579 --> 0:05:43.499 seeing over the top. And he took one shot from 0:05:43.499 --> 0:05:46.059 that area and it was blocked. And Town's got the 0:05:46.099 --> 0:05:48.499 better of him tonight, There's no doubt about it. Town's 0:05:49.019 --> 0:05:51.979 felt like early on Joel was guarding them, you know, 0:05:52.059 --> 0:05:54.059 playing off him a little bit to start the game. 0:05:54.139 --> 0:05:57.939 Bank two quick threes from the top by Towns, and 0:05:58.859 --> 0:06:01.699 you know, like for Joel's it's understood. He just he 0:06:01.819 --> 0:06:05.499 was two of eleven and of those eleven shots, five 0:06:05.579 --> 0:06:09.299 were threes and he got foul shots, you know, but 0:06:10.179 --> 0:06:13.859 it's obviously it's got to be tough. As coach said 0:06:13.899 --> 0:06:16.019 prior to the game, you know, it's not just Joelle's 0:06:16.059 --> 0:06:18.379 first game. It's the fact that everybody else has played 0:06:18.379 --> 0:06:21.899 a preseason, they've had a training camp, and they've played 0:06:21.939 --> 0:06:25.299 nine or ten games. So he's joining the fray, you know, 0:06:25.699 --> 0:06:28.139 not just himself, but he's going up against everybody else 0:06:28.139 --> 0:06:32.619 who's totally getting into a rhythm. So tough game for. 0:06:32.739 --> 0:06:34.939 Embeid and we're waiting for Maxi too. 0:06:35.379 --> 0:06:37.499 Yeah. One of the things that was a little scary 0:06:37.579 --> 0:06:40.339 is that at halftime Brunts had had like four points 0:06:40.579 --> 0:06:43.259 and they were still winning, and then he sprains his 0:06:43.299 --> 0:06:46.739 ankle and comes back and was you know, not like 0:06:47.379 --> 0:06:50.379 the same that you expect, like the way he looked 0:06:50.379 --> 0:06:52.619 in the playoffs. But he still ended up with eighteen 0:06:52.699 --> 0:06:56.139 points and definitely, you know, played in some duress with 0:06:56.219 --> 0:06:58.299 the ankle, but he was good. 0:06:58.299 --> 0:06:59.579 They look really good. 0:06:59.859 --> 0:07:01.139 They were better tonight. 0:07:01.979 --> 0:07:04.619 Matt Murphy and Tom mcguinnis on our Parks Casino postgame 0:07:04.619 --> 0:07:06.979 show after one eleven ninety nine loss for the Sixers 0:07:06.979 --> 0:07:09.739 to the Knicks here in Philadelphia, we await head coaches 0:07:10.219 --> 0:07:14.419 head coach Nick Nurse's postgame press conference, and I brought 0:07:14.459 --> 0:07:16.299 up no MAXI obviously he'd love to have him. He's 0:07:16.379 --> 0:07:18.419 he's got the hamstring injury. It's such a good chemistry 0:07:18.459 --> 0:07:21.419 with Embiid that's developed over the years. We saw a 0:07:21.459 --> 0:07:24.859 little glimpse with Embiid and Jared McCain of some chemistry 0:07:25.019 --> 0:07:26.859 towards the end of the third quarter. How did you 0:07:27.579 --> 0:07:30.419 interpret that sequence of McCain coming on and Embiid pumping 0:07:30.499 --> 0:07:31.339 up the crowd. 0:07:31.059 --> 0:07:33.939 Here, Well, that was like the one chance our Morgan 0:07:33.979 --> 0:07:37.699 and Morgan moment of the game where the Sixers seemingly had, 0:07:37.779 --> 0:07:39.579 you know, a little bit of momentum, they had the 0:07:39.579 --> 0:07:44.059 crowd one point game yep. And then and but see 0:07:44.059 --> 0:07:48.539 that's where the Sixes, These little phases have costed a 0:07:48.579 --> 0:07:51.539 six Ers in so many different games. Coach cited three 0:07:52.019 --> 0:07:55.699 and that was before uh, you know, the Lakers game, 0:07:56.259 --> 0:07:57.939 and there was a moment or two in that game 0:07:57.979 --> 0:08:00.259 where they had separation that led them to the win. 0:08:00.419 --> 0:08:01.859 Speaking of the Lakers. 0:08:01.619 --> 0:08:03.899 And Lakers, it was sixty sixty at one point. Clippers 0:08:03.939 --> 0:08:05.779 game before that was sixty four to sixty two. 0:08:05.619 --> 0:08:07.699 And then the Lakers game as I alluded to, you know, 0:08:07.859 --> 0:08:11.139 was sixty eight sixty just before halftime, and there was 0:08:11.179 --> 0:08:13.699 that type of run here. I thought there was two segments. 0:08:13.779 --> 0:08:18.579 One was after I'm sorry, but the ridiculous reversal Towns 0:08:18.699 --> 0:08:21.739 smacks two Sixers players and they call a foul on 0:08:21.819 --> 0:08:26.259 Kelly Ubra and then the baseline drive by Yabusele, you know, 0:08:26.419 --> 0:08:30.059 got taken by ogb on an Obi. That was huge. 0:08:30.139 --> 0:08:33.059 That was just a straight blowby right in front of 0:08:33.059 --> 0:08:35.979 the Sixers bench and coach Nurse took time out. You know, 0:08:36.019 --> 0:08:39.419 those are breakdowns, right and that that was revealing right there, 0:08:39.459 --> 0:08:42.979 like because Yabuselets played so well, but not on that 0:08:43.019 --> 0:08:46.019 play and not particularly in this game. He ended up 0:08:46.059 --> 0:08:51.579 taking gershun shot one of seven. But the point about Jared, 0:08:51.659 --> 0:08:55.299 to answer your inquiry, like, you know, he's he's first 0:08:55.339 --> 0:08:59.339 guard off the bench minutes and he's become you know, 0:08:59.939 --> 0:09:02.139 I don't want to say it, but in the absence 0:09:02.179 --> 0:09:04.979 of Max, he go to guys not the right way, 0:09:05.019 --> 0:09:08.699 but everybody feels comfortable throwing him the ball. And because 0:09:08.739 --> 0:09:10.699 he can get his shot off, he's a guy that 0:09:10.739 --> 0:09:13.379 can go out and create some offense. And he did 0:09:13.379 --> 0:09:15.539 it tonight with back to back twenty point games. He 0:09:15.579 --> 0:09:16.579 had twenty three tonight. 0:09:16.939 --> 0:09:19.339 You touched on Cleveland towards the end of the game 0:09:19.459 --> 0:09:21.539 action tonight. That's this is a little bit of a 0:09:21.579 --> 0:09:23.579 preview now because it's a back to back for both 0:09:23.579 --> 0:09:25.099 of these teams, and for the Sixers, it's the home 0:09:25.139 --> 0:09:28.619 game against the twelve and zero Cleveland Cavaliers. They are 0:09:28.619 --> 0:09:31.619 first in offense, ninth in defense. But their offense one 0:09:31.699 --> 0:09:34.059 hundred and twenty two plus points per game, that's first, 0:09:34.099 --> 0:09:37.699 fifty two percent shooting forty one point three percent from three. 0:09:37.779 --> 0:09:40.619 And they're coming here, They're here to play the Sixers. Yeah, 0:09:40.659 --> 0:09:41.259 tomorrow night. 0:09:41.539 --> 0:09:41.779 Yeah. 0:09:41.859 --> 0:09:44.819 No, They're having a tremendous start. You know, it's different, 0:09:45.419 --> 0:09:49.179 a different voice, and sometimes when their perspective change is 0:09:49.179 --> 0:09:51.579 a little bit. Kenny Atkinson is a second crack at 0:09:51.619 --> 0:09:55.819 it for him. He had an extensive post game chat 0:09:55.899 --> 0:09:58.259 yesterday how much he's grown as a coach since his 0:09:58.339 --> 0:10:02.499 time in Brooklyn, with both international coaching and with the Warriors, 0:10:03.019 --> 0:10:05.139 and he you know, he's always been a good coach. 0:10:05.219 --> 0:10:09.059 So and then Donovan Mitchell another great year with Garland 0:10:09.139 --> 0:10:12.419 and the two young bigs and Allen and Mobley, and 0:10:12.459 --> 0:10:14.379 then they got nice pieces. They went out and got 0:10:14.419 --> 0:10:18.259 Strus his second year. Now George Niang is helped out. 0:10:18.419 --> 0:10:21.979 I mean, they got a really full, good team. And 0:10:22.019 --> 0:10:26.939 it's another when you talk about Boston and Indiana, the Knicks, 0:10:27.179 --> 0:10:31.019 the Cleveland Cavalier, the East stacked, and the Sixers trying 0:10:31.019 --> 0:10:33.299 to catch up again, trying to get their players healthy 0:10:34.179 --> 0:10:36.699 and trying to, you know, see if they can't string 0:10:36.779 --> 0:10:40.739 together some solid performances. And you know, tomorrow night difficult 0:10:40.819 --> 0:10:45.339 task back to back, as you say, whereas Cleveland's rested rolling, 0:10:45.619 --> 0:10:47.259 they got some things to work on. They had to 0:10:47.299 --> 0:10:50.739 come back and beat the Bulls, but it's gonna be 0:10:50.739 --> 0:10:52.339 a tough challenge to be sure. 0:10:52.339 --> 0:10:55.739 Sixers calves another good Eastern Conference battle tomorrow. Tom mc ginnis, 0:10:55.859 --> 0:10:56.379 thank you, sir. 0:10:56.979 --> 0:10:57.379 Goodnight. 0:10:58.259 --> 0:11:01.659 One eleven ninety nine.

We will try for coach Nurse on the 0:11:06.299 --> 0:11:08.779 other side, but we'll definitely have a recap of this 0:11:08.819 --> 0:11:11.299 one with the key stats and the audio highlights.

In between then they have Cleveland 0:11:42.059 --> 0:11:45.059 tomorrow night, and then the Friday road game in Orlando 0:11:45.259 --> 0:11:48.579 is part of the Cup as well, and then Miami 0:11:48.619 --> 0:11:50.979 and Memphi at home on the eighteenth and the twentieth, 0:11:51.019 --> 0:11:55.099 not part of the tournament. Before that Brooklyn game, but 0:11:55.179 --> 0:11:59.499 again one eleven ninety nine, the Knicks get to five 0:11:59.539 --> 0:12:04.899 and five the Sixers two and eight. After tonight, the 0:12:05.019 --> 0:12:08.179 leading scorer in the game was Paul George with twenty 0:12:08.259 --> 0:12:10.819 nine points on ten of nineteen, shooting seven for eleven 0:12:10.859 --> 0:12:14.539 from three. He added ten rebounds as well two free 0:12:14.539 --> 0:12:17.699 throws to get to twenty nine ten rebounds to his 0:12:17.899 --> 0:12:20.739 game high points total with three steals and a block 0:12:20.859 --> 0:12:24.499 in thirty two minutes. Joel Embiid and his season debut, 0:12:24.539 --> 0:12:27.499 finishes with thirteen points, eight coming at the line eight 0:12:27.539 --> 0:12:31.179 for eight, three rebounds, five assists in twenty six minutes 0:12:31.219 --> 0:12:34.939 and twenty five seconds as he works his way back 0:12:35.019 --> 0:12:38.299 into the lineup. Caleb Martin with seventeen for the Sixers. 0:12:38.419 --> 0:12:40.659 Jared McCain had twenty three off the bench, second to 0:12:40.779 --> 0:12:44.459 Paul George's twenty nine on the team side. In the game, side, 0:12:44.499 --> 0:12:47.219 og ananobe twenty four for the Knicks to lead them 0:12:47.259 --> 0:12:49.419 twenty one from Karl Anthony Towns with a game high 0:12:49.419 --> 0:12:55.539 thirteen rebounds. Triple double for Josh Hart fourteen points, twelve rebounds, 0:12:55.939 --> 0:13:00.499 ten assists, the most assists for any player in the game. 0:13:01.059 --> 0:13:05.219 Our stat of the game is going back to the 0:13:05.259 --> 0:13:09.979 note about Jared McCain, the Sixers rookie courtesy of at 0:13:10.099 --> 0:13:14.619 Sixers Stats. It was his second consecutive twenty point game 0:13:14.659 --> 0:13:18.419 after the career high twenty seven here on Sunday again Charlotte. 0:13:18.819 --> 0:13:22.379 He is the first rookie with multiple twenty point games 0:13:22.859 --> 0:13:25.819 this season, so he breaks away from a pack of 0:13:26.379 --> 0:13:31.379 five other rookies, but it is in a defeat to 0:13:31.579 --> 0:13:33.939 the Knicks, as the Knicks out scored the Sixers thirty 0:13:33.979 --> 0:13:37.579 three to twenty four in the fourth quarter. In the game, 0:13:37.619 --> 0:13:39.459 they outscored them in the paint points in the paint 0:13:39.539 --> 0:13:45.139 Nicks fifty four, Sixers thirty. It was close going to 0:13:45.299 --> 0:13:47.579 the fourth. In fact, it was a one possession game. 0:13:47.899 --> 0:13:49.859 And we'll get into the audio lights in a moment. 0:13:50.899 --> 0:13:54.419 Seventy eight to seventy five. New York led after three 0:13:54.539 --> 0:13:57.979 quarters here so with mb back joining Paul George, still 0:13:57.979 --> 0:14:02.939 no Tyrese Maxi though so not whole. The Sixers were 0:14:02.939 --> 0:14:06.819 within three heading to the fourth quarter. Neither team really 0:14:06.819 --> 0:14:11.019 shot it well from three. And we'll hear what Sixers 0:14:11.059 --> 0:14:14.579 coach Nick Nurse has to say about this loss. 0:14:15.579 --> 0:14:19.779 Uh, you know, certainly rusty right, and both rusty a 0:14:19.819 --> 0:14:22.779 little bit and conditioning. I think showed up fairly early. 0:14:23.139 --> 0:14:26.459 I've seen him kind of play through that before, you know, 0:14:26.579 --> 0:14:29.459 kind of respond in the second half after being on 0:14:29.499 --> 0:14:32.019 a layoff a little bit. Seemed to do it a 0:14:32.059 --> 0:14:33.659 little bit. But then I thought he got a little 0:14:33.699 --> 0:14:37.339 tired again, uh in the fourth, but again probably to 0:14:37.419 --> 0:14:40.579 be expected. I thought he played with some pretty good 0:14:40.619 --> 0:14:46.219 competitive spirit, you know, for what he could do out there. Yeah, 0:14:46.259 --> 0:14:46.779 that's it. 0:14:48.139 --> 0:14:48.499 Tomorrow. 0:14:49.219 --> 0:14:52.539 Yeah, on Joel and Paul, both of them, we're not 0:14:52.739 --> 0:14:55.459 we're not sure at this time. They're gonna check him 0:14:55.459 --> 0:14:57.979 out here. They're they're gonna check him out in the morning, 0:14:58.179 --> 0:14:59.859 just to see where they're at. And we'll try to 0:14:59.899 --> 0:15:02.299 update you as soon as we can on that. 0:15:02.499 --> 0:15:04.419 Obviously the best game for you guys. 0:15:04.499 --> 0:15:07.859 Just what did you see his performance tonight that maybe 0:15:07.899 --> 0:15:09.419 unlocked for him a little better? 0:15:09.739 --> 0:15:11.179 Yeah, I mean he did a good job. I thought 0:15:11.179 --> 0:15:13.019 our guys did a good job of freeing him up 0:15:13.059 --> 0:15:16.419 some for some looks, you know, some of the similar 0:15:16.499 --> 0:15:19.499 looks he's been getting off some of the similar sets 0:15:19.619 --> 0:15:22.379 and and you know, obviously made him tonight. That always helps, 0:15:22.379 --> 0:15:25.059 and I think he got a burst of energy from that. 0:15:25.219 --> 0:15:27.859 He kind of got going early, was able to continue 0:15:27.859 --> 0:15:31.419 to look. He made one or two really tough ones, right, 0:15:31.499 --> 0:15:32.859 But other than that, I think he did a good 0:15:32.899 --> 0:15:36.979 job at creating He either he did or we did 0:15:37.339 --> 0:15:40.539 some space for him to get some good looks. But yeah, 0:15:40.539 --> 0:15:42.499 I thought he looked really confident in my scorer in 0:15:42.499 --> 0:15:44.419 the ball tonight, h M. 0:15:45.139 --> 0:15:47.179 With his ability to get into the game's mind. 0:15:48.419 --> 0:15:50.859 Yeah, kN the same thing he's been showing us, right, 0:15:50.979 --> 0:15:53.619 I mean, he's he just continues to be a real, 0:15:53.739 --> 0:15:58.499 real bright spot threat from three, which we obviously need 0:15:58.979 --> 0:16:03.339 offense creation on his own, which we obviously need, and 0:16:03.419 --> 0:16:05.859 he you know, he competes, and he competes. He's not 0:16:05.939 --> 0:16:08.339 afraid out there, and he's he's been playing really well, 0:16:08.539 --> 0:16:09.979 really really big. Bright Spot. 0:16:10.379 --> 0:16:11.259 Guys were kind. 0:16:11.099 --> 0:16:12.339 Of like you guys are kind of right there in 0:16:12.379 --> 0:16:14.739 the fourth and then they went on that run and 0:16:14.939 --> 0:16:16.499 that was that was kind of you. 0:16:16.459 --> 0:16:17.659 Know what kind of went wrong? 0:16:18.739 --> 0:16:20.739 Yeah, I mean, listen, I gotta I gotta go back 0:16:20.779 --> 0:16:22.859 and look, I just I do remember a kind of 0:16:22.899 --> 0:16:25.419 a wide open McCain eight footer and a wide open 0:16:25.459 --> 0:16:28.539 fourteen footer from and then a wide open three from you. 0:16:29.019 --> 0:16:29.859 We didn't make any. 0:16:29.699 --> 0:16:32.419 Of them, right that that was. That doesn't that doesn't help. 0:16:32.499 --> 0:16:35.659 I mean, we created really good shots and and uh 0:16:35.979 --> 0:16:38.339 gave up a little bit in transition. I thought we 0:16:38.699 --> 0:16:42.259 I thought we we we gave up some drives to 0:16:42.299 --> 0:16:44.579 the to the rim that we were we were kind 0:16:44.579 --> 0:16:46.579 of getting to in the first half and you know, 0:16:46.619 --> 0:16:48.659 get you know, getting him out of there, and we 0:16:48.739 --> 0:16:51.499 just we just weren't quite getting to the help on 0:16:51.619 --> 0:16:55.099 those or probably shouldn't have been up getting beat that 0:16:55.179 --> 0:16:56.979 high up on the floor, right, It should have been 0:16:57.019 --> 0:16:59.219 a little bit more containment but we were, you know, 0:16:59.259 --> 0:17:00.939 trying to play really hard, make a play, and we're 0:17:00.939 --> 0:17:03.419 getting beat at thirty feet and here comes the bruntson 0:17:03.499 --> 0:17:06.379 downhill and we just weren't. We just weren't quite getting 0:17:06.419 --> 0:17:08.659 there to the help as we we were in the 0:17:08.659 --> 0:17:11.099 first half. A little bit maybe a fatigue, to be honest, 0:17:11.179 --> 0:17:14.419 but just and also awareness that was probably it. 0:17:15.219 --> 0:17:15.619 That's okay. 0:17:15.939 --> 0:17:17.539 Would all seem a little bit more comfortable. 0:17:17.579 --> 0:17:20.859 I guess using his body and moving more on defense 0:17:20.939 --> 0:17:22.099 than he did on offense. 0:17:22.139 --> 0:17:24.259 I guess what he attribute that too. 0:17:25.339 --> 0:17:28.019 Yeah, he did a pretty good job out there. You know, 0:17:28.099 --> 0:17:31.659 we we did change some coverages. I mean, Kat dotted 0:17:31.739 --> 0:17:34.259 us for two early threes on the picking pops and 0:17:34.459 --> 0:17:36.459 kind of said, let's let's we don't want to watch. 0:17:36.739 --> 0:17:38.339 We don't want to watch that much anymore. So we 0:17:38.659 --> 0:17:41.899 started changing some coverages. Was put Joel on some into 0:17:41.899 --> 0:17:46.939 some switching or kind of blitzing situations to try to 0:17:46.939 --> 0:17:50.619 try to shape that covering jump a little bit. But yeah, 0:17:50.659 --> 0:17:54.139 he jumped out there like like he was gonna guard 0:17:54.219 --> 0:17:58.139 and moved moved pretty well. Yeah, what do you anticipate 0:17:58.619 --> 0:18:04.699 he'll get back quickest once he starts playing more regularly well, yeah, oh, 0:18:04.779 --> 0:18:08.659 I just think just I mean, you know, when he's 0:18:08.659 --> 0:18:10.659 when he's when he's playing, well, he's kind of got 0:18:10.699 --> 0:18:13.219 command of the game at the offensive end, right, He's 0:18:13.259 --> 0:18:17.939 either he's either creating good shots for himself or creating 0:18:17.979 --> 0:18:24.139 a lot of defensive schemes against him, which is creating 0:18:24.219 --> 0:18:25.899 much easier shots for our guys. 0:18:26.139 --> 0:18:26.299 Right. 0:18:26.339 --> 0:18:29.419 I think that's part of rhythm, that's part of conditioning, 0:18:29.499 --> 0:18:32.259 all that kind of stuff. You know, he's a great 0:18:32.299 --> 0:18:34.739 shooter that that that'll come back too. 0:18:34.899 --> 0:18:35.219 I think. 0:18:35.339 --> 0:18:38.579 Yeah, it seems like tonight you guys had some struggles 0:18:38.579 --> 0:18:41.699 passing the ball, whether it was throwing a crosscord pass 0:18:41.699 --> 0:18:44.059 that got picked off or missing a few open looks inside. 0:18:44.139 --> 0:18:45.819 Just did you notice that, and like, what would you 0:18:45.859 --> 0:18:47.179 attribute to some rough passing? 0:18:48.619 --> 0:18:51.539 Well, I think, you know, it's a little bit of 0:18:51.579 --> 0:18:54.219 a theme. I don't think we've passed it great this year. 0:18:54.419 --> 0:18:59.499 We're certainly much at this point. We've been a lot 0:18:59.539 --> 0:19:02.539 more high turnover than we were a year ago. Right, 0:19:02.659 --> 0:19:05.739 But again, there's a lot of new guys out there, 0:19:05.779 --> 0:19:07.059 and you know a lot of times you have the 0:19:07.059 --> 0:19:10.099 ball on Tyres Joel's hands and they're you know, they're 0:19:10.099 --> 0:19:12.339 gonna they're gonna command it and take care of it. 0:19:12.419 --> 0:19:14.219 We've got a lot of different guys trying to handle 0:19:14.259 --> 0:19:18.739 the ball and make plays and and but I hear you, 0:19:18.819 --> 0:19:20.339 it would be nice if we would get a little 0:19:20.339 --> 0:19:24.419 bit more on target, right, and again, give Nixon, give 0:19:24.419 --> 0:19:27.219 the Knicks some credit to I mean, they they chase 0:19:27.259 --> 0:19:29.739 your heart and they got length. You know, they got 0:19:29.779 --> 0:19:32.219 some length, and they're they're they're tipping some of those 0:19:32.219 --> 0:19:33.339 because of their good defense. 0:19:33.859 --> 0:19:37.819 Get back in one of how much how much more 0:19:37.939 --> 0:19:39.939 confidently about things starting. 0:19:39.699 --> 0:19:40.539 To go back your way. 0:19:40.419 --> 0:19:41.579 Eventually and starting. 0:19:43.179 --> 0:19:45.259 Yeah, No, I feel pretty good about it. I mean 0:19:45.259 --> 0:19:48.059 I think there was Again it's it's certainly not not 0:19:48.299 --> 0:19:50.219 fun to lose that game. But I thought there was 0:19:50.259 --> 0:19:54.179 some really great segments today both ends of the floor, right, 0:19:54.219 --> 0:19:58.419 And I think again, we need we need some more connectivity, 0:19:58.459 --> 0:20:00.019 and we're not gonna get that till we get some 0:20:00.099 --> 0:20:02.859 minutes together out there, right, But I think there was 0:20:02.859 --> 0:20:06.579 certainly some flashes of really good play it at both ends. 0:20:06.739 --> 0:20:08.579 Yeah, did you get. 0:20:08.499 --> 0:20:12.899 A feel for how your pieces, your complimentary pieces are kind. 0:20:12.779 --> 0:20:13.699 Of I'm getting there. 0:20:14.059 --> 0:20:15.699 Yeah, I'm getting there. I think we're still I think 0:20:15.739 --> 0:20:17.979 we're still, you know looking at it. I mean one 0:20:18.019 --> 0:20:21.059 of the I told the TNT people before the game, 0:20:21.099 --> 0:20:22.739 one of the good things is we are getting a 0:20:22.779 --> 0:20:25.539 really good look at some of these other guys. We're 0:20:25.539 --> 0:20:28.939 getting an in depth, a lot of minute heavy minute look, 0:20:29.219 --> 0:20:32.299 and that can only be good as we figure out 0:20:32.299 --> 0:20:33.219 how to piece it together. 0:20:34.459 --> 0:20:37.339 Sixers coach Nick Nurse on the Parks Casino post game 0:20:37.419 --> 0:20:40.539 show after a one eleven ninety nine loss to the 0:20:40.659 --> 0:20:44.859 Knicks in the NBA Cup. It was a seventy six 0:20:44.939 --> 0:20:48.859 Ers Cup night here in Philadelphia, presented by Chick File 0:20:50.139 --> 0:20:52.619 elsewhere around the league. We talked about how Orlando in 0:20:52.699 --> 0:20:54.499
