Speaker 1: This podcast is part of the seventy Sixers Podcast network
Speaker 1: Search seventy Sixers podcast wherever you get your pods. There
Speaker 1: was a lot going on this past week for the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers, so much we couldn't zero in on just
Speaker 1: one specific topic for this week's Deep Dive. Yep, we
Speaker 1: had to run it back, and by it we mean
Speaker 1: everybody's favorite game answer or same season. Don't remember what
Speaker 1: it is? No problem, neither do we, but we try
Speaker 1: our best. I'm Lauren Rosen, I'm Divon Gibbons, and I'm
Speaker 1: Brian Seltzer from Joel Embiid's Return to George Hill Status.
Speaker 1: We play the latest edition of Answer or Samesy's You're
Speaker 1: on the Friday Deep Dive? Are we here? Guys? Have
Speaker 1: we officially reached the home stretch of the season? Queen
Speaker 1: annoint this the final stretch run of this crazy NBA season.
Speaker 1: I'd say we're entering the home stretch of the regular season,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I heard it last night on the national
Speaker 1: broadcast saying that we had entered the home stretch of
Speaker 1: the season. I found it a little bit rattling because
Speaker 1: we were just in the bubble. But crazy, it's been
Speaker 1: I mean, I think part of that has to do
Speaker 1: with the condensed season, right guys, that the end sort
Speaker 1: of crept up on us a little bit. Oh absolutely,
Speaker 1: and it has cracked up one is very quickly. We
Speaker 1: are already in a month of April. But when we
Speaker 1: look at it, with twenty one games remaining in the
Speaker 1: normal season, we would be talking about the quarter point,
Speaker 1: the final quarter of the season for the seventy six
Speaker 1: or so, absolutely final stretch, and this is when we
Speaker 1: start to say, Okay, this is the seeding time, this
Speaker 1: is the rotation time, this is where we are. Let's
Speaker 1: get to it. If the home stretch is not here now,
Speaker 1: I think we'll definitely begin next Wednesday, when the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Nets are in South Philadelphia, final matchup of the season
Speaker 1: between the two teams that are looking to clinch the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference. Hopefully everyone's healthy for that. Can't wait for that.
Speaker 1: Three games on the road stand between now and then,
Speaker 1: crazily enough for the Sixers, but it's hard not to
Speaker 1: see that game shining on the horizon line right now.
Speaker 1: I think everybody in the league has had that one
Speaker 1: on their calendars since perhaps before Brooklyn made the additions
Speaker 1: that they've made in the last couple of weeks. I
Speaker 1: think as soon as James Harden joined that team, you
Speaker 1: were trying to figure out when they were going to
Speaker 1: come head to head with the best in the East,
Speaker 1: which has been the Sixers for the majority of this season.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, So may we have everyone healthy
Speaker 1: for that matchup, because it'll sure be something we've been
Speaker 1: waiting for this one. The last time we talked about
Speaker 1: this very thing in South Philadelphia, the only one that
Speaker 1: showed up. I believe it was James Harden, right, we
Speaker 1: wasn't it James Harden? Yeah, Kyrie Irving was out, Kevin
Speaker 1: Durant was already on the sideline. So yeah, I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I think most of us as we look
Speaker 1: at the rest of this three game road trip for
Speaker 1: the Sixers, but most importantly, we kind of look ahead
Speaker 1: to the next matchup against the top two teams in
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference and how you gage yourself against each other.
Speaker 1: So for us here of course, see what this team
Speaker 1: looks like against a fully staffed, if you will, Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Nets team. But honestly, for me and I was just
Speaker 1: talking about this, I kind of get to a point where,
Speaker 1: even though you wanted to see them against the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Nets or even the Milwaukee Bucks in the two games
Speaker 1: later on in a month, back to back on the road,
Speaker 1: and I was just mentioning this of how I am
Speaker 1: more worried about the Sixers than I am who the
Speaker 1: opponent is because of how I feel the Sixers are
Speaker 1: just as good as any team in the NBA. So
Speaker 1: that's how I look at it. Also, there was no Blake,
Speaker 1: there was no LaMarcus the last time around for the Nets.
Speaker 1: They've been added to the fray. I think we already
Speaker 1: know what the subject of next week's Friday Deep dive
Speaker 1: is going to be able to be our chance to
Speaker 1: react to what happened in that game. But as far
Speaker 1: as for this week, I feel like they were a
Speaker 1: handful of grab bag topics we could cover. We have
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers and the Pelicans Joel Embiid Zion Williamson
Speaker 1: perhaps on the same court for the first time ever
Speaker 1: coming later on on this Friday night, Ben Simmons want
Speaker 1: to check in on him, and of course this past week,
Speaker 1: the big story for the seventy six Ers the return
Speaker 1: of Joel Embiid. So I feel like when we have
Speaker 1: these opportunities to go into the grab bag. There is
Speaker 1: no better setting in which to play our favorite game.
Speaker 1: Here on the Friday Deep Dive, we're pulling it out
Speaker 1: round two of Answer or Samesy's. But the problem is,
Speaker 1: I think I was so overwhelmed by Answer or Samesy's
Speaker 1: the first time around. I don't think I remember how
Speaker 1: to play anyone else. Remember how did we do it?
Speaker 1: Did I say the topic and then you two responded
Speaker 1: and you could choose whether or not you wanted to
Speaker 1: answer or you had the Samesy's. That's correct, right, Lauren.
Speaker 1: Wasn't how it went. I think the first persons to
Speaker 1: the first person has to have an answer, right, and
Speaker 1: then everybody else gets to decide if they agree or not.
Speaker 1: And what I like about this game is it doesn't
Speaker 1: force us to fight against each other, as as lots
Speaker 1: of programs Nest might prefer. On this program, we're okay
Speaker 1: with agree. We're collaborators, not quarrelers. Yes, right, lovers not fighters. No,
Speaker 1: you have nothing good good vibes here on the Friday
Speaker 1: Deep Dive. That's right the best. Let's let's do it. Okay,
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with the seventy Sixers and the Boston
Speaker 1: Celtics from Wednesday night. That'll do it. A twenty point
Speaker 1: win for the Sixers on the road in Boston at
Speaker 1: the Garden. It'll be a final of one oh six
Speaker 1: ninety six, and the Sixers sweep the season series with
Speaker 1: Boston they win by twenty Should these rivals meet again,
Speaker 1: are we concerned? Is there any reason to be concerned?
Speaker 1: I say, for the seventy Sixers, provided good health, I'm
Speaker 1: not quite concerned. Answer or Slash elaborate or Samsy's I'm
Speaker 1: with you, Celts, not super concerned. As long as Joel
Speaker 1: Embiid is available a potential series down the road, they
Speaker 1: just have no answer for him. And as for the
Speaker 1: guards that do such a good job, the wings that
Speaker 1: do such a good job in Tatum and Brown and
Speaker 1: Walker on the Celtics, the Sixers have three strong wing
Speaker 1: defenders that can match up with each of them when
Speaker 1: they're all healthy. Right, So, as long as Joel Embiid
Speaker 1: is available to cause problems down low, there's just no
Speaker 1: There's no matchup this year, and it feels nice. I
Speaker 1: agree with you both when you I think the X factor,
Speaker 1: of course, is Joel Embid in any potential series with
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics and no Tristan Thompson in the game.
Speaker 1: But even when Thompson did play earlier in the season,
Speaker 1: Joel Embi was still Joel mb So, yes, it's another
Speaker 1: body for another six fouls in this particular case because
Speaker 1: he did fill out. Robert Williams and others just wore
Speaker 1: no match with Luke Cornette, tackle fall, getting a few
Speaker 1: minutes and throwing semi ojul and Grant Williams throw them
Speaker 1: all at him. It didn't matter and it won't matter.
Speaker 1: I don't think in a series. Again, as Lauren mentioned,
Speaker 1: as long as he's healthy and able to play in
Speaker 1: every game, then I don't think that there's an issue there.
Speaker 1: I always have respect for them because of what they've
Speaker 1: done in the past against the Sixers in the postseason,
Speaker 1: but this season it just seems different. SAME's he's But
Speaker 1: I am still going to add on top of that,
Speaker 1: I think both of you are totally on point. This
Speaker 1: is not to throw shape. This is not the Sixers
Speaker 1: podcasting guy throwing shade at the rival of the Sixers,
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics. I think they have a great team.
Speaker 1: We know how well coached they are Tatum Brown. Don't
Speaker 1: like him on another team, you would love him on
Speaker 1: your team. They are terrific talents. I just think to
Speaker 1: build on your point in this specific season as currently
Speaker 1: constructed in twenty twenty twenty one, the Boston Celtics not
Speaker 1: cut out for the seventy sixers. That was the one
Speaker 1: thing that my biggest reaction to their movement at the
Speaker 1: trade deadline wasn't even so much Fortier and they didn't
Speaker 1: have him. We should note that for the game the
Speaker 1: other night. But Daniel Tys, I don't want to build
Speaker 1: him up to be the second coming of the greatest
Speaker 1: defensive five men of all time. But I thought he
Speaker 1: actually had success against Joel emb in the past. I
Speaker 1: thought he was someone who was effective, whether it was
Speaker 1: in the bubble or when they rolled him out earlier
Speaker 1: in the season. I agree, And I had the opportunity
Speaker 1: when the deal went down on a deadline day trade
Speaker 1: deadline to speak to a couple of Celtic fans that
Speaker 1: I'm close with, that you know, know the team very well,
Speaker 1: and it was the opposite Self's learned that they couldn't
Speaker 1: wait to get rid of Daniel Tyson. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: whoa was I'm missing every time I watched it seems,
Speaker 1: and of course watched them when they're on nationally televised
Speaker 1: games or certainly against the seventy sixers, But in the
Speaker 1: matchups that I have seen, I was I come away
Speaker 1: and looking at him saying, okay, you know, I worry
Speaker 1: a little bit about him, but hey, if they're they
Speaker 1: felt like it was time for him to move on,
Speaker 1: and so be it, because that's just one less front
Speaker 1: court piece that they have to again throw successfully in
Speaker 1: a little bit at Joel and b Sixers go to
Speaker 1: Curry to Great into Joe and it beat turns at
Speaker 1: Champton an exclamation point, Bye bye Boston. What a play
Speaker 1: by Joeko a slam on Jalen Brown. It was not
Speaker 1: peak Joel Embiid against the Celtics this week, but it
Speaker 1: was still pretty damn good. Thirty five points, sixteen for
Speaker 1: twenty from the line, six boards, one hundred and fifteen
Speaker 1: total points against the Boston Celtics and three matchups. Doc
Speaker 1: Rivers told the story that Joel and he were walking
Speaker 1: with each other after the game on Tuesday and Joel
Speaker 1: told him he was back. Doc said, I noticed, do
Speaker 1: we think Joel Embiad is back answer or SAME's e's
Speaker 1: am I going first again? There, I guess has to
Speaker 1: be a first answer. Yes, I think Joel Embiad is
Speaker 1: indeed back. If Joel says he's back, he's back. Right
Speaker 1: after that first return against the timber Wolves, he said
Speaker 1: he felt usty, he didn't feel great. He wasn't super comfortable.
Speaker 1: Still good, but he didn't feel super comfortable. It didn't
Speaker 1: feel super competent. If Joel says he's back, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and believe him. Funny though that a thirty
Speaker 1: five point performance actually brought his average against the Celtics
Speaker 1: for the season down right, correct, Yeah, And of course
Speaker 1: it was about the Yeah, thirty five you know, as
Speaker 1: you said that just great performances against the Celtics all season.
Speaker 1: They have been unable to do anything against them. And
Speaker 1: I agree he's back if he says he's back, because
Speaker 1: even when you look at his line for the game
Speaker 1: and it says one for five from behind a three
Speaker 1: point line, can you take those other four misses from
Speaker 1: behind the three point line away and he's still shooting
Speaker 1: very efficient and the sixteen of twenty from the free
Speaker 1: throw line that you just spoke of, and as he
Speaker 1: pointed out, missing four free throws not acceptable for him.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would say he is back, and Lauren,
Speaker 1: to your point, four more points at the free throw
Speaker 1: line and he has at thirty nine, just right on
Speaker 1: his average. I feel like we're typically all three of
Speaker 1: us very agreeable and on the same page. I'm taking
Speaker 1: the other stance on this, not back dominant back, but
Speaker 1: still not quite bad to peek ultra embiid pre injury,
Speaker 1: because I think you're right. I think four free through
Speaker 1: misses in a game he knows he's better than that.
Speaker 1: He took care of the attempts. We should note that,
Speaker 1: but also a lot of jumpers on the wing. Can
Speaker 1: we see more of that dunk that he delivered on
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown late in the games? See more of that
Speaker 1: post play on the interior. Moving forward, as he continues
Speaker 1: to get more and more comfortable, does he iron out
Speaker 1: some of the turnovers that weren't as much of an
Speaker 1: issue before the injury. I mean, he's phenomenal right now.
Speaker 1: I'm just totally splitting hairs. But I think I think
Speaker 1: that you guys would say this too. I feel like
Speaker 1: he's back, but maybe not all the way back. He
Speaker 1: is back enough to make a huge difference for the
Speaker 1: seventy six ers. But I think all of us would say,
Speaker 1: starting with Joel himself, that there's still a couple a
Speaker 1: couple more layers he can get to, still room for improvement.
Speaker 1: Absolutely yep, and that's what we want to see. We
Speaker 1: want to see him ramp it up even more in
Speaker 1: the final games of the regular season as we get
Speaker 1: up forward and start of the postseason. I remember more
Speaker 1: how the rhythm of this game. Answer the same He's goes.
Speaker 1: I think the topic is introduced, someone responds, and then
Speaker 1: the next person says if they're going to answer, or
Speaker 1: if it's Sames, he's okay. I don't think we need
Speaker 1: to say answer a Sames He's right off the bat.
Speaker 1: This is really clearly eating at me an intricate game
Speaker 1: we have here. It is thought something with such a basic, simple,
Speaker 1: unappealing name could really be all that complex. I thought
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons gave the Sixers a nice shot in the
Speaker 1: arm in the third quarter against the Celtics, had six
Speaker 1: of his twelve points in that period. This time Simmons
Speaker 1: does take fall and he has his way. Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: to the open floor where he can get his He
Speaker 1: was able to get out on the break. What does
Speaker 1: Ben need to be doing right now? Guys, what do
Speaker 1: we think I do want to see more? So I'll
Speaker 1: say answer more so than Sames. He's here because although
Speaker 1: we saw the sixth and that they're quartered for his
Speaker 1: total of twelve and his defense was phenomenal on both wings.
Speaker 1: When he was out there, I saw a couple of
Speaker 1: things that I didn't like. I felt he could have
Speaker 1: been more aggressive looking for his as well. They shot
Speaker 1: seventy three field goals in the game against Boston, and
Speaker 1: I felt there were a few more that he left
Speaker 1: out there with just the overpassing that could have been
Speaker 1: his versus teammates and he's passed first and we're about
Speaker 1: his scoring secondary and I know what doctor Rivers had
Speaker 1: to say, we worry about it more than he does. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we've seen him for four years, so we
Speaker 1: know the style of play, and yes, he's watched him
Speaker 1: over the years, and of course with his film study
Speaker 1: coaching against him, I don't think he's where he needs
Speaker 1: to be at this point of the season. So if
Speaker 1: we're looking at and be being better I think Simmons
Speaker 1: can also be better going forward as we get up
Speaker 1: for the playoffs, not only for locking in the first
Speaker 1: seed and being in a good spot, but also for
Speaker 1: kind of looking at redem a little of the past
Speaker 1: performances in the postseason. Still a young player, of course,
Speaker 1: but no longer are you young when you're in the
Speaker 1: postseason for three years and you have experienced. So I
Speaker 1: say answer, not the same season, because there's more that
Speaker 1: I believe that's in there to contribute to the team.
Speaker 1: I'll answer to on that. I think it's important to
Speaker 1: keep in mind, and I'm not sure exactly what order
Speaker 1: this takes with Ben as far as the most important
Speaker 1: aspects of his role, whether he needs to be All
Speaker 1: League Defensive Player of the Year candidate first then second
Speaker 1: to that facilitator or if it goes facilitator first then
Speaker 1: all World defender, they're probably right up around the same line.
Speaker 1: But I think those are the two things that Doc
Speaker 1: Rivers is asking Ben Simmons to be the most of it.
Speaker 1: So I feel like some of the things we're seeing
Speaker 1: with Ben could be a reflection of the marching orders
Speaker 1: he's getting from Doc Rivers and the coaching staff. I
Speaker 1: really do believe, and Doc has said this a handful
Speaker 1: of times. He views Ben as a straw st for
Speaker 1: the offense, someone who gets things going, and then an
Speaker 1: elite All World defensive player, and I think he is
Speaker 1: still doing that from what we've seen so far. I
Speaker 1: do believe the one thing that Doc would say about
Speaker 1: stuff that immediately on the scoring side, he would want
Speaker 1: to see from Ben just making sure he gets some
Speaker 1: of those free throws back up. Made his final four
Speaker 1: free throws in the game against the Celtics, missed his
Speaker 1: first four. But that's why I think Ben is at
Speaker 1: But obviously in a perfect world, it's that all aggressive
Speaker 1: in every facet of his game that we saw going
Speaker 1: into the All Star break, and anytime Simmons mentioned laing
Speaker 1: real fast is that he says to himself that he
Speaker 1: has to get his stuff together. So I'll take his
Speaker 1: word for it. Quality Parental Advisory Radio edit version of
Speaker 1: that paraphrasing that comment by you, Divona, Thank you. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna jump in. I think I agree more with Celts
Speaker 1: than I agree with you Devon on this one. I
Speaker 1: think that people are really quick to look at Ben's
Speaker 1: scoring numbers and to talk about whether or not they've
Speaker 1: gone up or down or where they stack up compared
Speaker 1: to previous seasons. And for me, if Tobias Harris and
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid are going to score at a higher rate,
Speaker 1: that's fewer points to go around when you're a guy
Speaker 1: on this team. When you add a Seth Curry, you
Speaker 1: added Danny Green, both of whom have had really big
Speaker 1: scoring nights, that's fewer points for Ben Simmons to go
Speaker 1: out and get. And because there's more scoring surrounding him now,
Speaker 1: he's decided to go and improve his game elsewhere on
Speaker 1: the defensive end, where he has been, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: the defensive player of the year. So I have nothing
Speaker 1: but respect. Can he get better? Certainly? He said it.
Speaker 1: I think every player on this team would agree that
Speaker 1: they all have places where they can improve. But I'm
Speaker 1: going to go ahead and be a Ben Simmons defender
Speaker 1: on this one and make sure that we talk about
Speaker 1: the fact that while the scoring maybe has gone down
Speaker 1: a tiny bit, other players scoring has gone up. The
Speaker 1: team's not losing, the team is still succeeding at a
Speaker 1: really high rate. And he found an area where he
Speaker 1: could get better without taking away from any of his teammates,
Speaker 1: maybe in fact raising the bar for his teammates, and
Speaker 1: that's on the defensive end. So I have a lot
Speaker 1: of respect for what Ben has done with his game
Speaker 1: this season, and I refuse to jump on the I
Speaker 1: don't know the critical bandwagon when it comes to Ben
Speaker 1: at this point in the season is answer or Sam's.
Speaker 1: He's tearing us apart. This might not be able to
Speaker 1: live beyond round two. This might have to be it
Speaker 1: round two and done well. Our relationships to be able
Speaker 1: to survive this. I think we can do it. I
Speaker 1: think this is productive. Yeah, right, it is productive well.
Speaker 1: Being diplomatic about Ben's defense, No, no, And again I
Speaker 1: didn't say. I said he played well defensively against Tatum
Speaker 1: in Brown twenty and seventeen points for each of those
Speaker 1: two guys. So he did his part along with Danny Green,
Speaker 1: Tobias Harrison to help defense and Tistible as well. My
Speaker 1: only thing was when we saw what we saw, yes
Speaker 1: in February, when he put up those numbers twenty three
Speaker 1: and sure, I don't expect that every night. I don't
Speaker 1: expect forty two point. It's like we saw him in
Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz game. I don't expect that, just like
Speaker 1: I don't expect thirty six from Tobuyas Harris all the time.
Speaker 1: I just I know when I see him Simmons and
Speaker 1: I he sees it as well, he knows what he
Speaker 1: may have left on the floor in that regard. And
Speaker 1: then to the other point is when I do see
Speaker 1: the seven turnovers, that might you know, say, well, this
Speaker 1: was one where he could have instead of trying to
Speaker 1: pass it and force it and be that pass first
Speaker 1: mentality type of guy, go ahead and take that shot.
Speaker 1: Because I still think watching him for me, not on
Speaker 1: the floor, that it was still a good shot for him.
Speaker 1: Maybe a better shot for his teammate, but still a
Speaker 1: good shot for him. Not tearing us apart. Not tearing
Speaker 1: us apart. Our bonds are stronger than a silly we
Speaker 1: want to we want to win guys. I thought it
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. Thursday, before the seventy sixers got on
Speaker 1: a plane to head down to New Orleans, we heard
Speaker 1: from George Hill for the first time as a seventy
Speaker 1: six er. I was very excited to be able to
Speaker 1: come here to an organization that's competing for a championship,
Speaker 1: you know, meet up with some of my old foes
Speaker 1: that kind of started this thing with and this journey with,
Speaker 1: and like Danny Green and Popeye, van Berg Yeager coach rivers,
Speaker 1: it's fun to be here to meet all the new
Speaker 1: guys and get out and try to help them win games, said,
Speaker 1: he feels like he's going to be back sooner rather
Speaker 1: than later. Seventy six ers are not rushing George Hill along.
Speaker 1: I am okay with that. He's reached the playoffs eleven
Speaker 1: of his last twelve seasons in the league. I do
Speaker 1: believe you go back at some point before the playoffs
Speaker 1: to get enough run in him and rhythm to find
Speaker 1: his spot with this team. So I'm not particularly concerned
Speaker 1: about his timeline at this point. I think he has
Speaker 1: such a defined skill set, and he's such a veteran
Speaker 1: in this league, and he's been put in so many
Speaker 1: situations in his career. But obviously it's not great to
Speaker 1: have someone joined the team only in the home stretch
Speaker 1: of the season. But if someone's gonna be able to
Speaker 1: do it at a high level, it's a guy like
Speaker 1: George Hill. And my understanding, based on listening to the coaches,
Speaker 1: to the executives, and to George himself, is that they
Speaker 1: feel that way, that they feel like they're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to integrate him quickly and easily, especially as it
Speaker 1: compares to maybe other other guys that you could add
Speaker 1: to a team late in the season. I would agree
Speaker 1: with that. I think he sat and Lauren like he
Speaker 1: was in a really good place, willing to embrace whatever
Speaker 1: role the seventy sixers and Doc Rivers are going to
Speaker 1: throw at him. Yeah, and if because it's later in
Speaker 1: the game, that ends up being a smaller role, it
Speaker 1: sounds like he's okay with that, and I think if
Speaker 1: he does a great job, that role of course will grow,
Speaker 1: like as it's the case with any guy in the rotation.
Speaker 1: As we head down the stretch, George Hill, it was
Speaker 1: great to hear from finally saw some workout videos before
Speaker 1: the Boston game. So looks and the encouraging part was
Speaker 1: sim saying that he'll be back sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1: So that's encouraging. My thinking is, as Norman was alluding to,
Speaker 1: veteran has seen it all, has done it all, understands
Speaker 1: what he has, knows that he's gonna come in and
Speaker 1: handle the ball, play all the ball as well. I
Speaker 1: think it's more about them getting used to him and
Speaker 1: then him getting used to them, you know, coming in
Speaker 1: and being a part of the rotation. He's been to
Speaker 1: the finals, made deep runs in the playoffs. He understands
Speaker 1: what it takes. I'm not worried about his inclusion into
Speaker 1: the rotation overall, so I'm excited. I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see him. Plenty of time left and hopefully we see him,
Speaker 1: as he said, before the end of the regular season,
Speaker 1: and then of course for the first round in many
Speaker 1: I say, SAME's, he's to that, SAME's he's across the
Speaker 1: board for both of your comments. For me, there we go.
Speaker 1: We can end on that note. I'm also going to
Speaker 1: make an executive decision. We are sun setting and retiring
Speaker 1: answer or same season. I feel like it just doesn't work.
Speaker 1: I think going forward, we're going to call an episode
Speaker 1: like this when we touch upon multiple subjects, the seventy
Speaker 1: six ers grab bag or something like that. We're in
Speaker 1: no hurry. We have a mail bag, so maybe we
Speaker 1: can't have another type of bag. All right, Maybe we
Speaker 1: won't make any hard, fast, emotional in the moment decisions
Speaker 1: In the lab, someone tell us we have a long season.
Speaker 1: We expect to be here. Why I would agree with
Speaker 1: that's a long season exactly. Guys, enjoy the game later
Speaker 1: on in this Friday, Thank you so very much. As always,
Speaker 1: we made it. I think we're gonna be a good
Speaker 1: shape for next week, regardless of how heated relatively speaking
Speaker 1: at God this week with answer, I think the fact
Speaker 1: that this was what we would consider a heated episode
Speaker 1: says a lot about the general camaraderie and positive, peaceful
Speaker 1: vibes that we bring to the show every week. Amen,
Speaker 1: Looking Ahead, coming up on Monday. The next mail Bag Monday,
Speaker 1: as always, and if you have not yet done so,
Speaker 1: already find us and follow the Scoop wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. It's the daily five minute update on the
Speaker 1: seventy six ers the morning Oven morning after every game.
Speaker 1: Have a great rest of your weekend and enjoy the games.
Speaker 1: Talk to you next time. See it.
