We don't always 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:04.720 get to do this, but last night I had the 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.600 pleasure of sitting next to you during the game, and 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.040 I think that it was really cool. Midway through the 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.960 third I want to say, towards the end of the 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.000 third that you and I sort of looked at each 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.440 other and we were like, Okay, this is historic. We're 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.120 watching something that's truly unreal, one of the greats, and 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.080 we're going to dive into quotes for sure, But Joel 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.840 last night or I guess I'll allude to one early, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.360 but Tyrese Maxie said after the game that prior to 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.720 the game, he asked Joel if he was going to 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.640 be Shack or Dirk last night, and Joel said, I'm 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.040 just going to be Joel, And I think that's a 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.200 really good way to describe what we were able to 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.200 see and what happened next. Matt, you said it, fifty points, 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.000 twelve rebounds, to assists, a steal in, three blocks in 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.880 just twenty seven minutes. Fifty points in twenty seven minutes. 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.919 We'll get to why that's historic in a minute as well. 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.880 Seventeen for twenty three from the field, fifteen for seventeen 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.079 from the free throw line, and you know he wanted 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.919 that sixteenth one. It would have made his career high 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.120 fifty one points. Joel talked about it after the game. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:05.840 He said that he put a little too much pressure 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.920 on that last free throw and then of course went 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.799 to the bench with around even fifty points. Matt, what 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.160 were your I don't want to say emotions, but what 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.680 were your immediate feelings watching Joel Embiid and what he 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:24.200 was able to do last night? It was breathtaking. I 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.600 would say at the end of that answer that at 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:34.040 the end of that answer that Joel gave about playing 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.760 on whether he was going to be Dirk or Kobe 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:42.680 or MJ whoever. He ended it by saying, I was 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:48.080 okay tonight, and that's sort of I mean Joel kind 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.520 of even when he makes a joke, he delivers it 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:55.440 like that. And it was just an incredible performance. You 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.520 gave the numbers. We'll get to some of the other 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:02.760 stuff in the box score, but largely the box score 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.960 is Joel Embiid from the game against the Magic. He 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:10.360 gave the shooting totals. His free throw numbers were more 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.240 than the Magic. As a team, they were twelve of 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.600 sixteen from the line. Joel with the fifteen of seventeen, 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.120 and yeah, he gets to fifty and he has the 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.480 second free throw for fifty one and he doesn't make it. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.680 He goes out. We know he's a soccer fan, and 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.000 it's sort of like a soccer sendoff. He's such a showman. 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:36.279 It's a privilege to watch him. Cover him in the building. 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.400 Definitely wanted to set a new career high from what 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.560 it looked like. But another fifty point game in a 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.360 double double effort for Joel the first time he said 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.520 he wanted to stop at fifty, and they put him 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.000 back in the game so that he could get to 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.560 fifty and get out, and he immediately looked to score 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.359 or get to the line. He hits the mark and 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.680 he scores fifty of the sixers one twenty three in 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.320 the game. How about the first and third quarters? You 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.440 talk about us taking the game in and looking at 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:10.320 each other. In the third, he scored twenty plus in 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.279 the first. Well, he scored twenty in the first, twenty 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.680 three in the third. The bulk of his scoring, he 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.920 really just took over, got anything he wanted and it 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.240 never even felt like he broke a sweat. I mean, 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:26.160 obviously he's a big guy, he works hard, but it 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.159 came so effortlessly to him, as it so often does, 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.679 and to do it in twenty seven minutes of game 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.279 play was phenomenal. It was effortless, and the first and 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:42.280 third quarters were incredible. Yeah. I say this with complete seriousness. 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.120 Last night's fifty point performance from Joel Embiid was light 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.840 work for the man, Like you said, twenty seven minutes. 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.040 Shout out to stat News. That's an account we draw 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.800 on often on Twitter, but stat Muse says that the 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:01.240 most minutes per game in any NBA game. There's a 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.720 list of nine players. They include Will Chamberlain, Clay Thompson, 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:10.160 James Harden, Kobe Bryant, Sorry I lost my spot, Malone, 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:14.240 Kobe again, Gurbon, and Joel Mbat eight one point eight 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.280 five points per minute in an NBA game. That's a 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.200 historic number. It matches Carl Malone sixty one points in 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.839 thirty three minutes. But Matt, I mean, come on, I 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.040 don't know what else we can say about what Joel 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.080 was able to do last night. Because I don't really 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:29.720 know what else we can say about what Joel was 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.599 able to do last night. You guys are in here 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.000 in high numbers. I'm watching how many people are coming 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.240 and going. But the DM numbers are a little bit 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.160 lower this morning. And maybe it's because there's only one 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:39.920 topic to talk about. But I still want to hear 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.520 what you guys have to say. So if you don't 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.239 mind hit my face in this chat, send me a DM. 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.440 Tell me what the most impressive thing you saw from 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.240 Joel was last night. What Joel means to you in 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.240 your life right now? It seems like he means a 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.200 lot to a lot of folks. You can send a 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.040 message to me or to Matt ask us about Joel. 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:57.800 Tell us your thoughts. It doesn't even have to be 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.200 a question. We just want to hear your thoughts. This 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.440 at the top of every show. But imagine that you're 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.720 listening to a podcast. At the beginning of the podcast, 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.040 you're hoping that the hosts are going to talk about 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.000 something specific, something you're passionate about. This is your chance 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.679 to just make that happen. So speak that into existence 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:13.760 in our DMS. Let us know what you want to 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.760 talk about when it comes to Joel, his teammates and beyond. 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.800 We would really appreciate your thoughts and feedback because we 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:24.000 do this for you. Matt, Let's keep talking about Joel. Yeah, 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.480 this is an easy one. When we say send us 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.160 a question or a comment by with a direct message 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.400 clicking on our avatars, just send us a Joel comment 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.600 for now. I mean, if most of you, I'm sure, 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.680 watch the game or at the very least the highlights, 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.840 you can stay with us here on Twitter spaces and 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.200 sort of minimize it. Listen. You can go to the 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:48.600 at sixers feed, look around, refresh on what happened last night. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.440 The fifty point game for Joel Embad as the Sixers 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.920 on the season improved to twenty six and eighteen. But 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.760 if you want to send us a thought about Joel 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:04.280 and Bead, please do by sending us a shining example. 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.720 Matt from too, I do too, Okay, if I have 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.960 an example, it's from Magic Johnson, who tweeted this late 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.920 last night quote. The MBA should be talking more about 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.440 MBAD in MVP conversations period, So it could be as 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.200 simple as that. You could send us a thought like 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:26.000 Magic Johnson tweeted, no doubt. Mustafa says, not a question, 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.800 just here to say I love Joel Embiid. This can 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.680 be just sort of like an I love Joel Embiid 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.840 focus group, support group, a bunch of people that have 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.200 something in common. Jordan says, can we can we rename 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.880 the team to the Philadelphia Joel embiads. I don't think 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.680 it has the same ring to it as the ten, nine, 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.840 eight seventy sixers. I'm a big fan of the seventy 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.000 sixers team name, but this is the enthusiasm that we're 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:50.280 looking for. Matt. Yeah, we just got a question from 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.560 b who says, can you describe the atmosphere in the 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.240 building had goose bumps watching it on a screen, especially 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.400 when interrupted after his side step three, And I was 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.720 going to bring that up to you, Lauren. That was 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.280 probably around the time you're talking about where we recognized 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.319 really what was going on. He's had so many great games, 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.600 but we knew in the third that this was near 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.120 the top, if not at the top. And his only 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.600 three of the game, he only took four. He was 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.439 getting everything. I don't even want to say easy, because 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.280 it's not like he camped out and dunked everything. He's 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:29.800 been hitting so many elbow jump shots, fadeaway jump shots. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.160 His skills are just incredible. We know this. But his 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.760 only three of the game came in the final minute 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.960 of the third quarter, and it was a sort of 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:45.800 a step back straightaway three that he had missed a 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.720 couple and just missed a couple threes earlier in the game. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.760 That was like the shot for me. It's like, you're 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.839 gonna add three to this scoring total. That was one 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.080 of the moments of the game in the building. Yeah, 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:00.880 I was going to sit that moment as well as 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.560 shout out to be aka Patty Mills, Goat, we appreciate 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.760 you tuning in from far far away. Yes, I can 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.559 describe the atmosphere in the building. It was loud. People 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.440 were in awe. Matt. At one point, you and I 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.880 were talking about when Joel came back in and everyone 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.560 in the building had at that point gotten up to 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.319 speed about the fact that he was so close to 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.200 hitting a new career high or tying his career high, 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.680 and everybody pulled out their phones. And I don't love 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.040 that personally. We're getting into my personal ideology. I prefer 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.559 people to sort of like I love just witnessing things, 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.120 and I wish that we could all be more present 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.240 in life in general in twenty twenty two. But I 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.080 think when everybody in the building pulls out their phone 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.000 and starts recording something, you know that it's a moment 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.880 like that is an indicator in twenty twenty two of 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.760 when something is important and something is wild and something 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.560 is historic. Everybody pulled out their phone on that first 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.959 possession when he came back in with the opportunity to 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.319 tire or go ahead of his career high, and it 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:59.240 was cool to watch everybody sort of realize something, realized 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.760 what they were witnessed, saying collectively there was a feeling 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.680 of community surrounded around Joel and what he was doing 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.400 out there, and yeah, of course that side step three. 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.120 You and I looked at each other, and my personal reaction, 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.200 I just shook my head because I just was sort 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.040 of in disbelief but in total belief at the same time, 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:17.920 like when you know that someone can do something that 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.480 it continues to impress in surprise and floor you. That's 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.320 where I was. I was just shaking my head in 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.400 all I disagree with you on the phone thing. For 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.160 what it's worth, that's okay. I mean, look, I get 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.600 it as like something that it marks a moment in 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.120 time and it's an indicator that something important and cool 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.760 is going on. So it was cool to see. But 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.680 I also do feel in general that as a society 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.640 we could have a little bit more fun together, being 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.439 a little bit more present together. But again that's not 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.360 what we're here to talk about. If you pull if 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.959 you pull the phone up, just make sure you're you're 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.440 watching it with your with your eyes in the building, 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.360 correct and correct. Then you have the keepsake on your phone. 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.600 It's the It's the best of both worlds. And it 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.600 was cool to look around because we were on the 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:05.400 far side behind the far basket, so you could kind 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:10.120 of just see the entire place pointed the other way 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:14.280 with number twenty one at the line. And I mean, 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.440 just to remind everyone, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.760 twenty seven minutes in three seconds fewest minutes played in 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.560 a fifty point ten rebound game in the shot clock era, 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.480 which is nineteen fifty four fifty five. Basically, I mean 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:33.360 NBA history like doing that in twenty seven minutes of play, 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:39.000 and we were sort of denied a Joel embiid crowd 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:43.520 moment in him not getting to fifty on a jumper 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:45.560 and instead being fouled and going to the line. But 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.440 that gave everyone a moment to collect themselves and film 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.080 it or whatever they want to do and just kind 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.640 of feel it. But if he got it on a 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.679 jump shot or anything else on a made bucket, he 0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:01.160 would have done either the letty here or run over 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.640 to the sideline type thing. So we didn't see that, 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:07.640 but it was awesome. Nonetheless, I'm sorry, Hey, it's Joe 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.840 Conklin joined me for Conklin's Comedy Night in Parks Casino. 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.000 The number one casino went Pennsylvania and the official local 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.480 casino partner.

I appreciate everybody answering the call to 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.760 interact and engage and let us know what you're thinking. 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.000 So I want to read through just a few of 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.920 them at because it appears that everybody is on the 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.079 same page. Chuck from West Philly said the process from 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.320 Cameroon is clearly the best big in the league. I 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.319 was at home and screaming at the top of my 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:55.840 lungs hashtag play the Sixers song. Orlando says, I feel 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:57.679 like he has been a terrific player lately and with 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.960 his career high fifty points, he's going to do that again. 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.320 He is unstoppable. He is an inspiration to many people. 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.240 That last part something that we don't talk about enough 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:07.840 when it comes to Joel because he's a little bit 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.240 more soft spoken, he's a little bit more private. But 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.880 when we talk about the journey of this man's life, 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.320 it truly, truly is incredible, Mustapha says, And we can 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:17.640 do we can talk more about that for sure, if 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.160 that's something you guys are interested in. Mustapha says, I 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.000 wake up at nights just to watch Joel parentheses and 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.280 a little bit tyrese. I would love to hear where 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.480 you're watching from. Something we've learned in these Twitter spaces 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.080 is obviously, we love being able to connect with our 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.280 Philadelphia and Greater Philadelphia community on a daily basis here 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.320 in Philly, where Matt and I are both based. But 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.120 it's become very clear that folks that turn into Twitter spaces, 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.080 tune into Twitter spaces, are often from Europe. We have 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.000 a lot of Furcon fans that are in here. We 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.520 have fans from Africa that are in here, someone from 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:50.120 Nairobi last time, someone from Cameroon a few times ago, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.160 and then a ton of people from Australia tune into 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.240 these lots of folks from Perth. So shout out to 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.560 everybody that's doing this internationally. Feels like a good time 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.680 to say if you guys prefer us fake time. We 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:01.920 don't want you to have to wake up in the 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.120 middle of the night to watch Joel and to listen 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.480 to us. So that's always feedback that we're looking for. 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.440 Let us know where you're listening from. Matt, what do 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.040 you think about about any of those that I that 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:16.760 I just read out. I think that today is a 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:22.160 double vote day for the NBA, so you can vote 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.720 for Joel if you I mean, you can continue voting 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:30.040 for Joel to make his fifth straight NBA All Star Game, 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.240 which is going to be played in Cleveland. You can 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.560 vote online at MBA dot com in the NBA app. 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.040 You can also do it right here on Twitter. So 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.480 this is the description I'm seeing. Tweet, retweet, or reply 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.840 with a hashtag of a seventy six ers players first 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.240 and last name, for example, hashtag Joel Embiid or their 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:54.080 Twitter handle at Joel Embiid along with this hashtag hashtag 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.880 MBA All Star. Each tweet may include only one player's 0:15:57.920 --> 0:15:59.880 name or handle. Fans may vote for up to ten 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.120 players per day, so make sure you keep supporting Joel 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.160 as we talk about him by voting for him to 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.760 be in the NBA All Star Game or just the 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.400 Sixers last week retreat. Yeah, there you go, Matt, I 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.360 gave all that other stuff. You don't. It's it's a 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.560 lot easier. Just retweet the last Yeah, they all count 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.200 the same. I'm going to do it right now again. 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:22.560 You don't have to leave a space, you don't have 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.600 to stop talking on his face to go and retweet 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:29.520 to vote for Joel Embiid. The votes count as to today. 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.640 Shout out to our social team for turning around some 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:35.760 really cool content waking us up on a high note. Matt, 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.880 I wanted to turn into one more GM because this 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.720 is Jordan who's answered multiple questions since we started, and 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.480 so I need to give shouts to Jordan. Jordan said, 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.960 just seeing Joel Embiid hit a side step three like 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.240 it's nothing feels illegal to watch. Last night, I was 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.200 working on finishing a presentation and Joel was so good 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.160 that I dropped it just to watch his greatness. I 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.000 think a lot of people probably did, and then George 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.160 and Ads. I was watching at one am from Manchester, England, 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.879 internally screaming from my bedroom, trying not to wake up 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.200 my entire house. When Joel hit that side step three, 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.560 that's the analysis that we need. Jordan, thank you so 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.720 much for listening. Thank you to listening from Manchester. I've 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.080 never been to Manchester. I'm dying to go to Europe. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.520 We haven't been able to travel in so long. But 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.600 shout out to you for staying up, for fighting the 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.720 good fight, cheering for the home team from far away. 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.080 This is so awesome to hear, and that is awesome 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:34.280 to hear. Joel is a transcendent talent. I'm so happy that, 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.239 wherever you are in the world, however you took in 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:41.400 the game, that we were all able to witness this performance. 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:46.960 He's the heartbeat of the franchise, the fifty point game, 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:51.000 the Sixers win. They're at home a bunch in the 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.880 next couple of weeks. That last night was the start 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:58.480 of the continuation of seven of eight at home, so 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.520 we're gonna get to see Joel beat a lot in person. 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.800 We can touch on the box score a little bit more. 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:07.639 Keep the questions, comments and bead stuff coming by clicking 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:11.080 on our avatars and sending us a DM myself or 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.520 Lauren or both of us tweet to us whatever you 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.240 want to do. We usually touch on the box score 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.000 a little bit. We can talk about some quotes, because Lauren, 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.040 there's more more quotes that came out of postgame that 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.679 I definitely want to get to. The other players for 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:28.760 the Sixers, Tobias had twenty one and Tyrese Maxi had fourteen. 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.800 George Niang had ten off the bench in the win. 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.440 And this all relates to Joel Embiid because his passing 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.359 has been great for much of the year, and I 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.920 thought his passing was really good. He scores twenty three 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.399 in the third quarter, but he was making he always 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.879 makes the right plays, and Doc Rivers talked about this 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.200 afterwards too. We can include that in our conversation. But 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.920 in the third quarter, I thought he was really doing 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.000 a nice job of finding his teammates as well, And 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.840 that sounds weird to say in a quarter where one 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:02.320 of his two twenty plus point quarters, but he found 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:05.639 furkon Corkmas with a really nice pass, and he also 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.040 gave one of Tobias Harris, who who finished with a 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:11.480 nice and one. And they were doubling most of the time. 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.880 Anytime they didn't Joel took the likes of Robin Lopez 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.680 or made a shot over him. But he wasn't camped 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.840 out on the block. He was scoring from everywhere, and 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.520 when it called for a pass, he was passing the 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.240 ball and he had a couple nice ones in the third. Yeah, 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.439 let's talk about I'm going to fuse everything you just 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.000 said there and go in a certain direction. I hope 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.720 you'll all come with me. Let's talk about what Doc 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.679 Rivers said postgame. And this is a sentiment that Joel's 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.679 teammates have expressed, but Joel and Joel has expressed. But 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.000 Doc I think says it with the most authority. He 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:47.119 said that before this season he and Joel talked about 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.560 leadership and how Joel was going to do a better 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.760 job of being a a vocal leader and be getting 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:56.080 his teammates involved. Joel then talked about it as well. 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:59.040 He comes off of an evening where he scored fifty 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:03.600 twelve to one three in twenty seven minutes and credits 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:10.240 his teammates. Joel has really become a vocal and inspiring 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.400 leader for this group, and like you said, it's showing 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.280 up on the floor. He's not a good stats, bad 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.040 team guy. He's a good stats, good team guy. He 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.440 comes out there, he goes fifty and twelve and make 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.800 sure that he gets his teammates involved. Make sure that 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.439 his teammates are involved enough and hot enough that he 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.160 only has to play those twenty seven minutes. Keep in mind, 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:33.080 the Sixers one into halftime down in this game. They 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.200 came out of halftime on a tear. They all got involved. 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.560 They did it together such that Joel was able to 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.600 sit very shortly after the team was down. If you 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.680 had told Joel at halftime that he was going to 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:45.320 be able to sit in most of the fourth quarter, 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:48.040 I'm sure Joel would have believed you. I'm not sure 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.000 everybody would have believed you, just because of how it 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.680 distinct that turnaround was. So let's shout out a few 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:54.520 of those teammates that Joel did such a good job 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.240
