00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:06.480
Welcome to second round syndrome.
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:08.080
Round two.
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:22.079
Welcome on into second round syndrome, your talk for the Philadelphia 76ers and the NBA.
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.239
I'm your host, DJ Sportzone.
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.719
With me is my co-host, Jordan Sable.
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:32.320
Jordan, I was actually pretty hyped going into this game.
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:38.960
And maybe that's just because of that awesome Game One victory the Flyers had against the Pittsburgh Penguins last night.
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.079
But the Sixers got their asses whooped.
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:44.719
123-291.
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.039
It looked like they didn't even try.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:51.759
And we have a lot of things to go over with this game, but there's nothing positive.
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.079
And really quickly, I want to say this before I throw it to you, Jordan.
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:06.319
Any of the Philly fans that were chanting we want Boston after that play-in victory against the Orlando Magic the other day are morons.
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:07.920
They're idiots.
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:09.200
Because guess what?
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.760
You got exactly what you wanted.
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.200
We got Boston, and they have our number.
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:16.480
It's not good.
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.680
There's nothing to look forward to going forward here.
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.560
And I said this to you the uh the our in our last episode, Jordan.
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.760
And I said, I wouldn't be shocked if the Sixers got swept.
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.200
Now, it's only one game.
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:28.879
It's a best of seven series.
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.840
The Celtics still need to win three more games.
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:39.840
But I don't think there's a lot of hope for the Sixers for the remainder of this series, especially without Joel and Bede.
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:47.680
What is your overall take on this ass whooping that the Sixers received from the Boston Celtics?
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:49.599
Did it, DJ?
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:50.079
Ditto.
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:51.040
Pretty much.
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.319
We got clowned by the Celtics today.
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:58.239
It was pretty much a disgraceful performance across the board.
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.959
I don't think anyone had a great game, honestly.
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:12.560
Maybe Maxie put in some points, but that was again later on in the game when I kind of the break was they were putting their foot off the gas pedal at the end of that game.
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.199
But I don't think the Sixers ever led in this game.
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.240
They never led, even at the beginning, when it was 0-0.
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.000
That was the closest the Sixers ever were to leading in this game.
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.639
It was it was a blowout right in the first quarter.
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.879
They were down by 10 points, and it just grew and grew at halftime.
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:29.919
They were down by 20.
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:40.719
And then they make this little bit of a run in the third quarter, and a turnover by Drummond ends up, you know, causing a two straight three-pointers, and they're back up by 20.
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.360
So at that point, I was like, oh, this game's over.
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:49.759
And I texted you, DJ, and you were like, yep, terrible turnover, and and that, and the rest was kind of history there.
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.400
There was a lot of optimism coming into the series, obviously, with the fans.
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.360
And I I will agree with you in your take.
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:02.479
And you said uh the fans that mentioned and said that we want Boston.
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.479
It's obviously look what we got.
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.280
We got Boston and we got blown out by 32.
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:14.560
Um, not the right decision from those fans to chant that because we got clowned again by the fans, and the team got clowned.
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.800
So maybe they can make an effort uh in the next game.
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.520
I think we'll lose game two, game three or four.
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:32.560
Uh maybe we can pull one out, but again, uh your idea of what you said last show was um where we might get swept is is a full-blown reality now with how they performed in this first game.
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.120
So yeah, do you have anything else to add on this?
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:44.479
Because um pretty much I'm exhausted with the I don't want to go into more Negadelphia, but obviously that's gonna be the the point of the show when we lost by 32.
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:51.520
Well, I just think awareness with Sixers fans completely went out the window.
00:03:52.000 --> 00:04:02.080
Like the people that were mad at anyone in the media, anyone that covers the Sixers on on YouTube or on audio platforms like we do.
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:08.000
I just saw a lot of comments going at those people, but I just don't think there was any awareness.
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.120
Like, have you watched the Sixers at all this season?
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:11.599
Right?
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:17.519
They're just not a very good team, especially against very good teams, right?
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:26.319
We see them get a victory against the Utah Jazz, and then we say, Oh, we can compete against anybody, we get a win against the Indiana Pacers.
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.079
Oh, this is great.
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:39.199
But then when you're chanting, we want Boston, when and I think the broadcast said the last six series that the Sixers have played against Boston, the Celtics have won those series, right?
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:45.519
I mean, I just don't understand why any fan would want to go against the Boston Celtics.
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:50.639
If anything, I would have rather been the four or five seed, right?
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:59.600
I would have been comfortable going against the Cleveland Cavaliers, I would have been more comfortable going against the Toronto Raptors, the New York Knicks, even.
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.040
The Boston Celtics, and I've said this a thousand times.
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.600
I think the Celtics are coming out of the Eastern Conference.
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.639
They are the most dangerous team in the NBA, right?
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.160
They were dangerous even before they got Jason Tatum back.
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.800
And when you watch Tatum in this game, I mean, he had 21 points of the first half.
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:18.079
21 points.
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.959
He did not look like he missed most of the season.
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:29.519
He did not look like he just suffered a torn Achilles just last season in the playoffs.
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.600
It just doesn't look like that at all.
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:37.199
And the Celtics, it's so scary because you can't leave anybody wide open.
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:50.000
Anyone can't leave Jason Tatum wide open, Jalen Brown, Derek White, Sam Hauser, Pritchard, Bucevic, you can't leave anyone wide open, right?
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.639
And the Mia's Keda is great inside the paint.
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.720
And the Sixers are not a great three-point shooting team.
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:04.560
I think the the broadcast mentioned that they since the beginning of March, the Sixers were one of the worst three-point shooting teams.
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:11.920
And there were plenty of opportunities for the Sixers to take advantage, especially as you mentioned in the third quarter.
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.199
Did they do that?
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:14.399
Not really.
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:21.839
When it seemed like there might have been a spark, it just kept getting ruined by unforced turnovers.
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.959
And as you mentioned, they didn't win a single quarter.
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.879
18 points of the first quarter, 33 to 18 is what they got outscored.
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:29.360
Right?
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.920
Second quarter, 31 to 28.
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.040
The third quarter, 31 to 25.
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.839
And then the fourth quarter, when basically nobody was left playing at that point, 28 to 20.
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.160
They didn't win a single quarter.
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.480
And then you look at the specific stats, right?
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.639
I mean, the Sixers had 14 turnovers.
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.399
Celtics only had eight.
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:49.279
Right?
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.839
I mean, and and the Sixers just couldn't shoot the ball.
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:53.519
They couldn't shoot the three ball.
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.839
I mean, they shot 17%.
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.160
Four of 23 from Beyond the Arc.
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.519
They made four three-pointers the entire game.
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.600
Guess how many threes the Celtics made, Jordan?
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:09.519
How many?
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:11.199
16.
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.839
And they took 44.
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:20.160
They took almost twice the amount of three-pointers that the Sixers made, and they made way more.
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:20.720
Right.
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.800
And we've known this for years that the Celtics are a high volume three-point shooting team.
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.560
That's always been the case, especially under this Joe Mazzula era.
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.240
And once the Celtics are hot, they're hot.
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.600
And the Sixers could not find a way to stop them, any of them.
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:36.000
Right?
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.160
You look at the specific stats of the Celtics, right?
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.480
I mentioned Jason Tatum had 21 points the first half.
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.800
He ended with 25 points and 11 rebounds, seven assists, two steals.
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.720
Jalen Brown ended with 26 points.
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:47.839
He had 10 in the first half.
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.439
He had 16 in the second half.
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.319
You had Namias Cada, 13 points.
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.519
Sam Hauser had 12, four of six from three, by the way.
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:56.959
Derek White had 10 points.
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.360
Peyton Pritchard had 12 points.
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:08.639
And they got great production from Luca Garza, from Baylor Shireman, who we gave praise to in that Celtics Orlando game a week ago.
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:10.639
They have so many options.
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.720
And then you look at the Sixers side of things.
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:17.120
You said Tyrese Baxie, you know, had the best game out of all the Sixers.
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:22.000
And technically, yes, he had 21 points, but he shot eight of 20 from the field.
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:23.360
That's not a good game.
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:24.800
I mean, he couldn't make shots.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.839
I mean, the Sixers honestly couldn't shoot anywhere.
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.560
It was like there was a lid right on the rim.
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:32.639
How many layups did they miss?
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.120
I mean, it felt like they missed at least a dozen layups.
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.679
It felt like I was watching every player of the Sixers turn into Tobias Harris.
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:41.440
So there was that.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.279
They couldn't shoot threes, as I mentioned.
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.799
They made four the entire game.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.600
And then it felt like they couldn't even make a free throw.
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:49.759
And then you look at the other players.
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:51.440
Paul George, I mean, he shot well.
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.320
Four of eight from the field, 17 points, but eight shots.
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.159
We need more from Paul George, right?
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.720
Fiji Edgecombe, he struggled in the first half.
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:04.080
He ended with 13 points, but 0 of 5 from 3, 6 of 16 from the field, that's not good.
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:05.840
Kelly Ubre couldn't make a shot.
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.840
He also shot 0 of 5 from 3, right?
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.639
5 of 14 from the field, 10 points.
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.720
Quinton Grimes, where was Quinton Grimes, especially in the first half?
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.720
I think it was like the third or the fourth quarter.
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.879
I was like, has this dude even taken a shot?
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:23.840
Now, by the end of the game, seven points, three of six from the field, one of two from three.
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.240
You need way more from Quentin Grimes.
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.399
And then on top of that, it there was the foul trouble.
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:36.879
I mean, I felt like it was within half the first half of the uh first quarter.
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:45.840
You had Andre Drummond and a Dembona both on the bench because they both had two personal fouls at that point, and they had to bring in Dominic Barlow to play the center.
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.759
Like that's so dangerous against this Boston Celtics team.
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.840
You already don't have Joel Embiid.
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:55.360
And at this point, I don't think we're gonna see him at all in the series.
00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:00.879
So you need production from anybody and everybody at the same time.
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:02.559
And I don't think we're gonna get that.
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.039
Now, as I said, it's a seven-game series.
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:10.559
Anyone could go off in any moment, but it has to be now, right?
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.240
Game two, they don't have much time.
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:19.120
I mean, game two is on Tuesday, then they have two days in between, I believe mainly because the Flyers are gonna be home first.
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:20.720
Then they play at home on Friday.
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.399
So they do have a couple days in between game two and game three, but they need to figure out figure it out now.
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.200
And one last thing before I hand it over to you, Jordan.
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:30.799
Josh Harris.
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.279
We all saw you on the sideline, man.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:34.159
We saw you.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.639
I really hope you're taking notes.
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:45.279
Because if this ends poorly, which I think it's going to, right, maybe they're they're able to squeak out a win, maybe, right?
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:52.000
When I when I made my reaction video to the Sixers magic play-in game, I said boss, I said Boston in six games.
00:10:53.600 --> 00:11:01.600
But if the Sixers lose in four or five, maybe it's a gentleman sweep, change is needed.
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.480
And I don't want to get too ahead of myself on this because who knows?
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:09.679
Maybe the Sixers win the next four games in a row, and I'm hyped and ready to go for round two.
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:20.240
But as of right now, because we can only talk about what we saw from game one, Josh Harris, take notes because change is coming.
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.080
What are your thoughts, Jordan?
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.720
Change is coming, and it's needed, especially after this performance.
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.480
It's just I guess disappointing overall.
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:38.960
I mean, we've had we've done the show for at least I've been on it for probably about half the season, and it's been a lot of time without Embiid.
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:59.759
So um, we kind of rag on about the the fact that Embiid is so important to this team, and this honesty showed the his production is incredibly important to this team, and it's without him is a huge loss, and we're seeing the results of that loss right now, and and that kind of ties into the fact that we need some change.
00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:07.039
Whether that's do we go down a different model of like in the future are we gonna move players on, which players are we moving on, here this and that.
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:18.960
And I hate to like rag on about like the this is like the end of this season stuff, but just the way this result happened, it it feels like we've we're super down in this series already to start, even though it's only one game.
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.639
I feel like this series is just a lost cause anyway.
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:35.840
And I I hate to be I hate to bring that Negadelphia energy, that negative um, the bad energy, the bad juju, but just the way this result happened, I just I I don't see them winning a game.
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:49.600
I think maybe they can win one in South Philadelphia, but I don't think they're gonna end up winning the series, just with how the results have panned out and with the injuries and just today's game being super disappointing.
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.240
I just feel like it's gonna we're gonna see the same thing on Tuesday.
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.639
And like you said, they play on Friday at home.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:01.279
Maybe they can eke one out, but I again I the with how today went, it's just it's not positive.
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.480
Well, let's just assume the Celtics are gonna win game two.
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:10.320
I mean, you you have to win both games at home to have even a shot at this series, right?
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.600
It'd be great to be able to get a win at TD Garden.
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:15.440
I just don't see it happening, right?
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:20.639
As you said, the fans are trolling us, the team was trolling us, and the Sixers did it to themselves.
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.320
I mean, the moment Andre Drummond got a tech, I was smacking my head.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.600
Like they just their heads are not in this series, right?
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.519
Tyrese Maxie is trying their best.
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.159
Boston will not give anybody room.
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:36.639
They they know if they take Tyrese Maxie out of the game, the Sixers have no chance.
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:38.320
That was their game plan, right?
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.039
Make sure Tyrese Maxie can't get off a shot.
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.240
It's kind of like what Draymond Green did to Kawhi Leonard in that Warriors Clippers playing game.
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.519
Draymond Green made sure that Kawhi Leonard couldn't get a shot up.
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.960
Because if you take Kawhi out of the game, the Clippers are nothing, right?
00:13:53.039 --> 00:14:00.080
Maybe you could get something from Darius Garland, Benedict Matherin, any of these other players, but Kawhi Leonard, he's the centerpiece.
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.320
Now with Joel Embiid, right?
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.960
Obviously, we we know he's probably not coming back this series.
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:06.720
So you gotta figure it out.
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:07.360
Right?
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.759
Because this this is the case every single year.
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:14.480
The last two years, the whole thing is about protecting Embiid so he's healthy enough for the playoffs.
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:17.759
Well, we're we're here, we're at the playoffs, where's Embiid?
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:18.240
Right?
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.159
And I'm not blaming Embiid at all, right?
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.399
I don't, I don't think it's his fault.
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:25.519
I don't think any blame should be put on Joel Embiid.
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.399
It's just honestly how he is at this point, right?
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:32.399
He's just the un most unlucky player in the world when it comes to injuries.
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:38.720
He's got a lot of money, he's got a lot of things to be proud of in his career with his family, all that great stuff.
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:44.639
But when we're talking about Embiid, Embiid's availability, it's just non-existent.
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.360
Whether you rest him or not, right?
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:49.120
Something random is gonna pop up.
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:53.919
I mean, what's more random other than maybe Bell's palsy than appendicitis?
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.799
I mean, that's not a basketball injury, right?
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.799
That's just something random that happened.
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:00.559
That it's horrible.
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:04.320
It happened at the worst possible time, but that's just where we are right now.
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.600
And that's why I'm saying changes need it.
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.120
Because obviously Embiid still has that three-year extension that kicks in.
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.840
I don't know who's gonna want that contract or anything like that.
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.720
I don't want to get too into like off-season moves.
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:21.360
But at this point, you gotta realize that Embiid is never gonna be healthy.
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:22.799
And it and I'm sad about it.
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.759
I love Joel Embiid.
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:26.080
I'm wearing a Joel Embiid jersey right now.
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:26.799
Right?
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.519
I I want to see him win a championship more than anything.
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:30.000
Right?
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:30.720
I love this team.
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:34.399
I met VJ Edgecombe a couple weeks ago at Primo Hoagies, right?
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:35.440
He signed my hat.
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:40.879
Like it was so exciting to get to talk to him, say, hey, win a championship for us.
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.080
But it's tough when there's so many question marks, right?
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:49.519
We beat the Orlando Magic in that playing game because Orlando was a flawed team, right?
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:57.360
Those four guys, Paula Vincaro, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bain, they barely spent any time together this season.
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.080
I think they played maybe 18 games together.
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:00.720
Right?
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.600
But they're still a good enough team to make the playoffs, right?
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.799
Which is how they were able to beat the Charlotte Hornets, right?
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:07.759
They blew them out.
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.879
At one point it was like a 30, 40 point game.
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:16.320
But I think they're also gonna get their asses kicked by the Detroit Pistons.
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.200
Sixers, same thing, right?
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:33.120
They're good enough to beat the lower tier teams, Orlando, right, Charlotte, obviously the lottery teams, but when you're talking about their chances against Boston, Detroit, or any of these other teams of the Eastern Conference, right?
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:38.480
Even Cleveland or New York, I just don't think you have a shot, especially without Embiid.
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.159
I think even with Embiid, the Sixers would have lost this series against the Celtics.
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.120
Now, I don't think they would have gotten swept, right?
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:50.799
I think they could have made it a seven-game series with Embiid because he just opens everybody up, right?
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:56.480
Creates so many shots, especially beyond the arc, because he gets doubled and triple teamed, right?
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.240
So you could get the ball out to Maxi.
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.960
You could get the ball out to Paul George or Kelly Ubre.
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:10.160
But without that space created, because you know Bona's not gonna do it, you know Drummond's not gonna do it, you don't have any other options at the center position, right?
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:13.759
Because Janai Brooms out, and even if he wasn't, he'd be useless.
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:19.119
But you gotta use Dominic Barlow or I don't know, Jabari Walker.
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.279
That's or Trendon Watford, I don't know.
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:24.559
Like none of these options are gonna get you anywhere, right?
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:30.720
If when I said that you're like, there's no way that would work, I know it's not gonna work, but those are the options we have to work with.
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:33.119
So it's disappointing.
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:40.000
Game two is gonna tell us a lot, like if we get a repeat of game one in game two, I think it's over, right?
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.400
Maybe they squeak out a win in South Philly, right?
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.400
It would be fun to see, right?
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.079
Because we haven't gotten a playoff game in Philadelphia in two years.
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:54.400
I mean, but that was a fun series, even with Embiid on one leg and dealing and half a face with the Bell's palsy.
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:59.440
It still was a fun series going against the New York Knicks, and Joel didn't have much help.
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.480
It was Embiid, Maxine, that was kind of it, right?
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.920
Tobias Harris, maybe until the last game of that series, they didn't have much help.
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.960
It's kind of the same thing here, but it's even worse.
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.960
And Boston is way better than New York was.
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:19.039
So I'm very disappointed.
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:23.680
I, you know, expected a lot more from this team, a lot more fight.
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:29.119
But on the other hand, watching this team all season, because I've watched every single game.
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:39.039
And anybody who's listening right now who's also watched most, if not every single game as well, you can agree because the eye test says everything, right?
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:45.359
You can have as much hope as you want, and I don't want to be negative, but at the same time, I want to tell the truth.
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.519
I want to hold players, I want to hold coaches, I want to hold ownership accountable.
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.640
Because that's what Philly fans deserve.
00:18:54.720 --> 00:19:02.559
They deserve a competitive team, and unfortunately, with the hand we're dealt with, with injuries and just this roster, that's what we got.
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.200
So, I mean, we we still got a couple games left.
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.079
Boston still has to win three more before the series is over.
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.240
It ain't over until it's over.
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:20.079
But right now I'm disappointed, and I think the only thing we can really look forward to as Philadelphia sports fans is the Flyers because they played hard.
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:20.559
Right?
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:25.279
I know we're not a I know we're not a hockey show, but just comparing those two teams, right?
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:28.079
The Flyers, they they could have choked in that first game.
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.000
They haven't been in the playoffs since 2020.
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:37.759
Not most of those players have zero playoff experience, but they came in and they played hard from beginning to end, right?
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:43.359
Even when it was three to two with with about a minute or two left in that game, right?
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:47.839
They they played aggressive defense and they were able to win that game.
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.559
I didn't feel that at all from the Sixers.
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:54.640
So that's the only thing we have to look forward to because it ain't the Phillies, right?
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:56.400
Right now it ain't the Sixers.
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.839
Right now it's all the Flyers, and I guess the upcoming Eagles draft.
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.480
I like I said, I've been super impressed with the Flyers um since the Olympics break.
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.720
They've been probably one of the best teams in the NHL in terms of like getting points and wins and stuff.
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:20.799
And I don't follow hockey as religiously as I do basketball and other sports, but um, I will say that they are a fun team to watch, especially with the addition of Porter Martone in this lineup and things like that.
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:37.279
He's been able to bring like a new dimension to uh hockey, and then you add that into Michikov, Kiterie, um, Keneckni, and like the the regular guys who have been there for a while with Zegris, and um they're fun to watch, and they are a power team.
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:49.279
Like I was watching that that whole Flyers game, they were putting hits on Penguins players, you know, causing like some um hard hits, and uh even if you get a penalty or so, just like making it a chippy affair.
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:56.079
Uh just like the Sixers are playing our rival Celtics, why not make it a chippy affair like the Flyers playing the Pens?
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:01.839
See, that's something that they could take from, I guess, the Flyers in uh handling away performances.
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:04.799
They handled the Flyers handled that away performance perfectly.
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:20.160
They did scare me down the end with that uh they they tried to they tried to give up the lead uh at the end there, but um they held Rue and you know they can maybe make a good effort for game two and and you know bring it back to South Philly at the 2-0 lead.
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:21.200
That'd be incredible.
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:26.000
Um Sixers, on the other hand, I uh I'm not sure if they'll be able to do that.
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.000
Uh as we've talked about on the show for the past 20 minutes or so.
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:39.359
But um, yeah, there's this is the only hope in Philadelphia right now is the Flyers, just based on what we've seen over one playoff game on both the Flyers and the Sixers.
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:43.279
And the Phillies are just really not looking good so far.
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:59.680
They've lost more series, I think as many series in like the first couple, like the first month or two of the season than they have like all of last season, which is just awful, especially when they've been one of the better performing teams at home in front of a great crowd at Assistance Bank Park.
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:10.240
So I'm just overall, like the the Flyers are the one bright spot, especially for a team that just historically in the recent history just has never been the bright spot in Philadelphia.
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:18.079
I'm glad that they're grabbing that bright spot and, you know, taking control of it because they've been a fun team to watch, especially in Philadelphia.
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.359
Yeah, as of yesterday, the Phillies lost four games in a row.
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:22.640
They lost their fifth series.
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:23.680
They've only won two.
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.759
And of course, they lost that series against the Atlanta Braves, which makes things even worse.
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.960
And then again, you you look at what the Flyers strategy was.
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:33.519
They wanted to get into Sidney Crosby's head.
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:34.799
And they absolutely did that.
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.519
Because the last two minutes of the game, he was in the penalty box.
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:39.200
He couldn't even participate, right?
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.200
They had a chance to tie the game, right?
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.400
Because it was close, thank goodness for that Porter Martin goal.
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.039
Because if it wasn't for that, the game would have been tied, right?
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:52.319
Yeah, that opening goal from Jamie Drysdale, uh, Travis Sandheim was able to get that game up to one.
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:55.519
But they were able to get into Crosby's head.
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:59.039
And even the Celtics were saying our goal was to get into Maxi's head.
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:00.559
And I believe they did that.
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:08.640
Like, it's such a cool moment in sports when you have two rivalries happening in the playoffs, right?
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:20.000
I mean, you have again the Flyers and the Penguins, you have the Sixers and the Celtics, one of the most historic rivalries in the entire NBA, other than maybe Celtics Lakers.
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:24.480
I mean, there's nothing else more historic than that in the NBA.
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:30.319
So to not be able to take advantage of that and try to get into Jason Tatum's head, try to get into Jalen Brown's head.
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:32.319
Like it just shows weakness.
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:35.599
The Flyers did not show weakness at all yesterday.
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:37.599
The Sixers, that's all they showed.
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.640
And they need to come back on Tuesday.
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:47.119
They need to come back on Tuesday, reset and show what they're made of.
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:47.920
Right?
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.720
They need to show some fight because they just didn't have that.
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.519
And if not, it's it's just gonna be a sweep.
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:54.880
It's gonna be an ass whooping.
00:23:55.039 --> 00:24:00.000
And as I said, change is gonna be needed because we we can't keep running this back.
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:01.119
We can't keep doing this.
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:08.640
Oh, well, if Embiid gets healthy next year, if Embiid gets healthy the year after that, because then something else is gonna happen, right?
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.799
Then something's gonna happen to Paul George because he keeps getting older and older and older.
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:17.359
I mean, if it wasn't for the 25-game suspension, it probably would have been another injury.
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:20.319
Let's be fair, let's be honest, right?
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:22.559
And he's been looking great the last several games.
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:25.759
Now, again, in in this game today, he didn't do too much.
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:35.039
He he was efficient, but he needed more than eight shots, especially when you don't have Embiid, who is a 30 plus point per game scorer.
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:41.440
So there's just uh I'm very negative right now, and I don't want to be, but that's just how it is.
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:43.920
We'll just have to look forward to the Flyers tomorrow.
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:45.279
That's kind of all we have.
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:50.240
And after the Sixers game two, obviously you're gonna hear our reaction to that.
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:52.880
If not on the podcast, then definitely on DJ Sports.
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.160
I did a reaction to the Flyers game one.
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:58.720
I'll be doing a reaction to the Sixers game one.

00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:30.960
We got Jordan Stable here.
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:33.279
Hopefully, we'll see you next time with the win.
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:34.319
Peace out.
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:06.480
Welcome to second round syndrome.
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:08.080
Round two.
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:22.079
Welcome on into second round syndrome, your talk for the Philadelphia 76ers and the NBA.
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.239
I'm your host, DJ Sportzone.
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.719
With me is my co-host, Jordan Sable.
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:32.320
Jordan, I was actually pretty hyped going into this game.
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:38.960
And maybe that's just because of that awesome Game One victory the Flyers had against the Pittsburgh Penguins last night.
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.079
But the Sixers got their asses whooped.
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:44.719
123-291.
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.039
It looked like they didn't even try.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:51.759
And we have a lot of things to go over with this game, but there's nothing positive.
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.079
And really quickly, I want to say this before I throw it to you, Jordan.
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:06.319
Any of the Philly fans that were chanting we want Boston after that play-in victory against the Orlando Magic the other day are morons.
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:07.920
They're idiots.
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:09.200
Because guess what?
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.760
You got exactly what you wanted.
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.200
We got Boston, and they have our number.
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:16.480
It's not good.
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.680
There's nothing to look forward to going forward here.
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.560
And I said this to you the uh the our in our last episode, Jordan.
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.760
And I said, I wouldn't be shocked if the Sixers got swept.
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.200
Now, it's only one game.
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:28.879
It's a best of seven series.
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.840
The Celtics still need to win three more games.
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:39.840
But I don't think there's a lot of hope for the Sixers for the remainder of this series, especially without Joel and Bede.
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:47.680
What is your overall take on this ass whooping that the Sixers received from the Boston Celtics?
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:49.599
Did it, DJ?
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:50.079
Ditto.
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:51.040
Pretty much.
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.319
We got clowned by the Celtics today.
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:58.239
It was pretty much a disgraceful performance across the board.
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.959
I don't think anyone had a great game, honestly.
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:12.560
Maybe Maxie put in some points, but that was again later on in the game when I kind of the break was they were putting their foot off the gas pedal at the end of that game.
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.199
But I don't think the Sixers ever led in this game.
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.240
They never led, even at the beginning, when it was 0-0.
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.000
That was the closest the Sixers ever were to leading in this game.
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.639
It was it was a blowout right in the first quarter.
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.879
They were down by 10 points, and it just grew and grew at halftime.
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:29.919
They were down by 20.
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:40.719
And then they make this little bit of a run in the third quarter, and a turnover by Drummond ends up, you know, causing a two straight three-pointers, and they're back up by 20.
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.360
So at that point, I was like, oh, this game's over.
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:49.759
And I texted you, DJ, and you were like, yep, terrible turnover, and and that, and the rest was kind of history there.
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.400
There was a lot of optimism coming into the series, obviously, with the fans.
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.360
And I I will agree with you in your take.
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:02.479
And you said uh the fans that mentioned and said that we want Boston.
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.479
It's obviously look what we got.
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.280
We got Boston and we got blown out by 32.
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:14.560
Um, not the right decision from those fans to chant that because we got clowned again by the fans, and the team got clowned.
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.800
So maybe they can make an effort uh in the next game.
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.520
I think we'll lose game two, game three or four.
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:32.560
Uh maybe we can pull one out, but again, uh your idea of what you said last show was um where we might get swept is is a full-blown reality now with how they performed in this first game.
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.120
So yeah, do you have anything else to add on this?
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:44.479
Because um pretty much I'm exhausted with the I don't want to go into more Negadelphia, but obviously that's gonna be the the point of the show when we lost by 32.
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:51.520
Well, I just think awareness with Sixers fans completely went out the window.
00:03:52.000 --> 00:04:02.080
Like the people that were mad at anyone in the media, anyone that covers the Sixers on on YouTube or on audio platforms like we do.
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:08.000
I just saw a lot of comments going at those people, but I just don't think there was any awareness.
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.120
Like, have you watched the Sixers at all this season?
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:11.599
Right?
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:17.519
They're just not a very good team, especially against very good teams, right?
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:26.319
We see them get a victory against the Utah Jazz, and then we say, Oh, we can compete against anybody, we get a win against the Indiana Pacers.
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.079
Oh, this is great.
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:39.199
But then when you're chanting, we want Boston, when and I think the broadcast said the last six series that the Sixers have played against Boston, the Celtics have won those series, right?
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:45.519
I mean, I just don't understand why any fan would want to go against the Boston Celtics.
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:50.639
If anything, I would have rather been the four or five seed, right?
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:59.600
I would have been comfortable going against the Cleveland Cavaliers, I would have been more comfortable going against the Toronto Raptors, the New York Knicks, even.
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.040
The Boston Celtics, and I've said this a thousand times.
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.600
I think the Celtics are coming out of the Eastern Conference.
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.639
They are the most dangerous team in the NBA, right?
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.160
They were dangerous even before they got Jason Tatum back.
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.800
And when you watch Tatum in this game, I mean, he had 21 points of the first half.
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:18.079
21 points.
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.959
He did not look like he missed most of the season.
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:29.519
He did not look like he just suffered a torn Achilles just last season in the playoffs.
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.600
It just doesn't look like that at all.
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:37.199
And the Celtics, it's so scary because you can't leave anybody wide open.
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:50.000
Anyone can't leave Jason Tatum wide open, Jalen Brown, Derek White, Sam Hauser, Pritchard, Bucevic, you can't leave anyone wide open, right?
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.639
And the Mia's Keda is great inside the paint.
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.720
And the Sixers are not a great three-point shooting team.
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:04.560
I think the the broadcast mentioned that they since the beginning of March, the Sixers were one of the worst three-point shooting teams.
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:11.920
And there were plenty of opportunities for the Sixers to take advantage, especially as you mentioned in the third quarter.
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.199
Did they do that?
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:14.399
Not really.
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:21.839
When it seemed like there might have been a spark, it just kept getting ruined by unforced turnovers.
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.959
And as you mentioned, they didn't win a single quarter.
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.879
18 points of the first quarter, 33 to 18 is what they got outscored.
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:29.360
Right?
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.920
Second quarter, 31 to 28.
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.040
The third quarter, 31 to 25.
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.839
And then the fourth quarter, when basically nobody was left playing at that point, 28 to 20.
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.160
They didn't win a single quarter.
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.480
And then you look at the specific stats, right?
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.639
I mean, the Sixers had 14 turnovers.
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.399
Celtics only had eight.
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:49.279
Right?
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.839
I mean, and and the Sixers just couldn't shoot the ball.
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:53.519
They couldn't shoot the three ball.
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.839
I mean, they shot 17%.
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.160
Four of 23 from Beyond the Arc.
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.519
They made four three-pointers the entire game.
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.600
Guess how many threes the Celtics made, Jordan?
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:09.519
How many?
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:11.199
16.
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.839
And they took 44.
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:20.160
They took almost twice the amount of three-pointers that the Sixers made, and they made way more.
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:20.720
Right.
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.800
And we've known this for years that the Celtics are a high volume three-point shooting team.
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.560
That's always been the case, especially under this Joe Mazzula era.
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.240
And once the Celtics are hot, they're hot.
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.600
And the Sixers could not find a way to stop them, any of them.
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:36.000
Right?
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.160
You look at the specific stats of the Celtics, right?
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.480
I mentioned Jason Tatum had 21 points the first half.
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.800
He ended with 25 points and 11 rebounds, seven assists, two steals.
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.720
Jalen Brown ended with 26 points.
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:47.839
He had 10 in the first half.
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.439
He had 16 in the second half.
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.319
You had Namias Cada, 13 points.
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.519
Sam Hauser had 12, four of six from three, by the way.
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:56.959
Derek White had 10 points.
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.360
Peyton Pritchard had 12 points.
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:08.639
And they got great production from Luca Garza, from Baylor Shireman, who we gave praise to in that Celtics Orlando game a week ago.
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:10.639
They have so many options.
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.720
And then you look at the Sixers side of things.
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:17.120
You said Tyrese Baxie, you know, had the best game out of all the Sixers.
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:22.000
And technically, yes, he had 21 points, but he shot eight of 20 from the field.
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:23.360
That's not a good game.
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:24.800
I mean, he couldn't make shots.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.839
I mean, the Sixers honestly couldn't shoot anywhere.
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.560
It was like there was a lid right on the rim.
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:32.639
How many layups did they miss?
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.120
I mean, it felt like they missed at least a dozen layups.
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.679
It felt like I was watching every player of the Sixers turn into Tobias Harris.
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:41.440
So there was that.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.279
They couldn't shoot threes, as I mentioned.
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.799
They made four the entire game.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.600
And then it felt like they couldn't even make a free throw.
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:49.759
And then you look at the other players.
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:51.440
Paul George, I mean, he shot well.
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.320
Four of eight from the field, 17 points, but eight shots.
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.159
We need more from Paul George, right?
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.720
Fiji Edgecombe, he struggled in the first half.
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:04.080
He ended with 13 points, but 0 of 5 from 3, 6 of 16 from the field, that's not good.
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:05.840
Kelly Ubre couldn't make a shot.
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.840
He also shot 0 of 5 from 3, right?
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.639
5 of 14 from the field, 10 points.
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.720
Quinton Grimes, where was Quinton Grimes, especially in the first half?
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.720
I think it was like the third or the fourth quarter.
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.879
I was like, has this dude even taken a shot?
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:23.840
Now, by the end of the game, seven points, three of six from the field, one of two from three.
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.240
You need way more from Quentin Grimes.
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.399
And then on top of that, it there was the foul trouble.
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:36.879
I mean, I felt like it was within half the first half of the uh first quarter.
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:45.840
You had Andre Drummond and a Dembona both on the bench because they both had two personal fouls at that point, and they had to bring in Dominic Barlow to play the center.
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.759
Like that's so dangerous against this Boston Celtics team.
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.840
You already don't have Joel Embiid.
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:55.360
And at this point, I don't think we're gonna see him at all in the series.
00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:00.879
So you need production from anybody and everybody at the same time.
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:02.559
And I don't think we're gonna get that.
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.039
Now, as I said, it's a seven-game series.
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:10.559
Anyone could go off in any moment, but it has to be now, right?
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.240
Game two, they don't have much time.
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:19.120
I mean, game two is on Tuesday, then they have two days in between, I believe mainly because the Flyers are gonna be home first.
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:20.720
Then they play at home on Friday.
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.399
So they do have a couple days in between game two and game three, but they need to figure out figure it out now.
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.200
And one last thing before I hand it over to you, Jordan.
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:30.799
Josh Harris.
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.279
We all saw you on the sideline, man.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:34.159
We saw you.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.639
I really hope you're taking notes.
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:45.279
Because if this ends poorly, which I think it's going to, right, maybe they're they're able to squeak out a win, maybe, right?
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:52.000
When I when I made my reaction video to the Sixers magic play-in game, I said boss, I said Boston in six games.
00:10:53.600 --> 00:11:01.600
But if the Sixers lose in four or five, maybe it's a gentleman sweep, change is needed.
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.480
And I don't want to get too ahead of myself on this because who knows?
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:09.679
Maybe the Sixers win the next four games in a row, and I'm hyped and ready to go for round two.
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:20.240
But as of right now, because we can only talk about what we saw from game one, Josh Harris, take notes because change is coming.
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.080
What are your thoughts, Jordan?
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.720
Change is coming, and it's needed, especially after this performance.
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.480
It's just I guess disappointing overall.
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:38.960
I mean, we've had we've done the show for at least I've been on it for probably about half the season, and it's been a lot of time without Embiid.
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:59.759
So um, we kind of rag on about the the fact that Embiid is so important to this team, and this honesty showed the his production is incredibly important to this team, and it's without him is a huge loss, and we're seeing the results of that loss right now, and and that kind of ties into the fact that we need some change.
00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:07.039
Whether that's do we go down a different model of like in the future are we gonna move players on, which players are we moving on, here this and that.
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:18.960
And I hate to like rag on about like the this is like the end of this season stuff, but just the way this result happened, it it feels like we've we're super down in this series already to start, even though it's only one game.
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.639
I feel like this series is just a lost cause anyway.
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:35.840
And I I hate to be I hate to bring that Negadelphia energy, that negative um, the bad energy, the bad juju, but just the way this result happened, I just I I don't see them winning a game.
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:49.600
I think maybe they can win one in South Philadelphia, but I don't think they're gonna end up winning the series, just with how the results have panned out and with the injuries and just today's game being super disappointing.
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.240
I just feel like it's gonna we're gonna see the same thing on Tuesday.
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.639
And like you said, they play on Friday at home.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:01.279
Maybe they can eke one out, but I again I the with how today went, it's just it's not positive.
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.480
Well, let's just assume the Celtics are gonna win game two.
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:10.320
I mean, you you have to win both games at home to have even a shot at this series, right?
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.600
It'd be great to be able to get a win at TD Garden.
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:15.440
I just don't see it happening, right?
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:20.639
As you said, the fans are trolling us, the team was trolling us, and the Sixers did it to themselves.
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.320
I mean, the moment Andre Drummond got a tech, I was smacking my head.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.600
Like they just their heads are not in this series, right?
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.519
Tyrese Maxie is trying their best.
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.159
Boston will not give anybody room.
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:36.639
They they know if they take Tyrese Maxie out of the game, the Sixers have no chance.
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:38.320
That was their game plan, right?
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.039
Make sure Tyrese Maxie can't get off a shot.
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.240
It's kind of like what Draymond Green did to Kawhi Leonard in that Warriors Clippers playing game.
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.519
Draymond Green made sure that Kawhi Leonard couldn't get a shot up.
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.960
Because if you take Kawhi out of the game, the Clippers are nothing, right?
00:13:53.039 --> 00:14:00.080
Maybe you could get something from Darius Garland, Benedict Matherin, any of these other players, but Kawhi Leonard, he's the centerpiece.
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.320
Now with Joel Embiid, right?
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.960
Obviously, we we know he's probably not coming back this series.
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:06.720
So you gotta figure it out.
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:07.360
Right?
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.759
Because this this is the case every single year.
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:14.480
The last two years, the whole thing is about protecting Embiid so he's healthy enough for the playoffs.
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:17.759
Well, we're we're here, we're at the playoffs, where's Embiid?
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:18.240
Right?
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.159
And I'm not blaming Embiid at all, right?
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.399
I don't, I don't think it's his fault.
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:25.519
I don't think any blame should be put on Joel Embiid.
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.399
It's just honestly how he is at this point, right?
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:32.399
He's just the un most unlucky player in the world when it comes to injuries.
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:38.720
He's got a lot of money, he's got a lot of things to be proud of in his career with his family, all that great stuff.
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:44.639
But when we're talking about Embiid, Embiid's availability, it's just non-existent.
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.360
Whether you rest him or not, right?
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:49.120
Something random is gonna pop up.
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:53.919
I mean, what's more random other than maybe Bell's palsy than appendicitis?
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.799
I mean, that's not a basketball injury, right?
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.799
That's just something random that happened.
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:00.559
That it's horrible.
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:04.320
It happened at the worst possible time, but that's just where we are right now.
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.600
And that's why I'm saying changes need it.
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.120
Because obviously Embiid still has that three-year extension that kicks in.
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.840
I don't know who's gonna want that contract or anything like that.
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.720
I don't want to get too into like off-season moves.
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:21.360
But at this point, you gotta realize that Embiid is never gonna be healthy.
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:22.799
And it and I'm sad about it.
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.759
I love Joel Embiid.
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:26.080
I'm wearing a Joel Embiid jersey right now.
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:26.799
Right?
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.519
I I want to see him win a championship more than anything.
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:30.000
Right?
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:30.720
I love this team.
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:34.399
I met VJ Edgecombe a couple weeks ago at Primo Hoagies, right?
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:35.440
He signed my hat.
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:40.879
Like it was so exciting to get to talk to him, say, hey, win a championship for us.
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.080
But it's tough when there's so many question marks, right?
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:49.519
We beat the Orlando Magic in that playing game because Orlando was a flawed team, right?
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:57.360
Those four guys, Paula Vincaro, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bain, they barely spent any time together this season.
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.080
I think they played maybe 18 games together.
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:00.720
Right?
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.600
But they're still a good enough team to make the playoffs, right?
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.799
Which is how they were able to beat the Charlotte Hornets, right?
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:07.759
They blew them out.
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.879
At one point it was like a 30, 40 point game.
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:16.320
But I think they're also gonna get their asses kicked by the Detroit Pistons.
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.200
Sixers, same thing, right?
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:33.120
They're good enough to beat the lower tier teams, Orlando, right, Charlotte, obviously the lottery teams, but when you're talking about their chances against Boston, Detroit, or any of these other teams of the Eastern Conference, right?
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:38.480
Even Cleveland or New York, I just don't think you have a shot, especially without Embiid.
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.159
I think even with Embiid, the Sixers would have lost this series against the Celtics.
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.120
Now, I don't think they would have gotten swept, right?
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:50.799
I think they could have made it a seven-game series with Embiid because he just opens everybody up, right?
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:56.480
Creates so many shots, especially beyond the arc, because he gets doubled and triple teamed, right?
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.240
So you could get the ball out to Maxi.
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.960
You could get the ball out to Paul George or Kelly Ubre.
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:10.160
But without that space created, because you know Bona's not gonna do it, you know Drummond's not gonna do it, you don't have any other options at the center position, right?
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:13.759
Because Janai Brooms out, and even if he wasn't, he'd be useless.
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:19.119
But you gotta use Dominic Barlow or I don't know, Jabari Walker.
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.279
That's or Trendon Watford, I don't know.
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:24.559
Like none of these options are gonna get you anywhere, right?
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:30.720
If when I said that you're like, there's no way that would work, I know it's not gonna work, but those are the options we have to work with.
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:33.119
So it's disappointing.
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:40.000
Game two is gonna tell us a lot, like if we get a repeat of game one in game two, I think it's over, right?
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.400
Maybe they squeak out a win in South Philly, right?
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.400
It would be fun to see, right?
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.079
Because we haven't gotten a playoff game in Philadelphia in two years.
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:54.400
I mean, but that was a fun series, even with Embiid on one leg and dealing and half a face with the Bell's palsy.
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:59.440
It still was a fun series going against the New York Knicks, and Joel didn't have much help.
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.480
It was Embiid, Maxine, that was kind of it, right?
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.920
Tobias Harris, maybe until the last game of that series, they didn't have much help.
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.960
It's kind of the same thing here, but it's even worse.
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.960
And Boston is way better than New York was.
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:19.039
So I'm very disappointed.
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:23.680
I, you know, expected a lot more from this team, a lot more fight.
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:29.119
But on the other hand, watching this team all season, because I've watched every single game.
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:39.039
And anybody who's listening right now who's also watched most, if not every single game as well, you can agree because the eye test says everything, right?
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:45.359
You can have as much hope as you want, and I don't want to be negative, but at the same time, I want to tell the truth.
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.519
I want to hold players, I want to hold coaches, I want to hold ownership accountable.
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.640
Because that's what Philly fans deserve.
00:18:54.720 --> 00:19:02.559
They deserve a competitive team, and unfortunately, with the hand we're dealt with, with injuries and just this roster, that's what we got.
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.200
So, I mean, we we still got a couple games left.
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.079
Boston still has to win three more before the series is over.
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.240
It ain't over until it's over.
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:20.079
But right now I'm disappointed, and I think the only thing we can really look forward to as Philadelphia sports fans is the Flyers because they played hard.
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:20.559
Right?
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:25.279
I know we're not a I know we're not a hockey show, but just comparing those two teams, right?
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:28.079
The Flyers, they they could have choked in that first game.
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.000
They haven't been in the playoffs since 2020.
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:37.759
Not most of those players have zero playoff experience, but they came in and they played hard from beginning to end, right?
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:43.359
Even when it was three to two with with about a minute or two left in that game, right?
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:47.839
They they played aggressive defense and they were able to win that game.
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.559
I didn't feel that at all from the Sixers.
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:54.640
So that's the only thing we have to look forward to because it ain't the Phillies, right?
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:56.400
Right now it ain't the Sixers.
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.839
Right now it's all the Flyers, and I guess the upcoming Eagles draft.
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.480
I like I said, I've been super impressed with the Flyers um since the Olympics break.
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.720
They've been probably one of the best teams in the NHL in terms of like getting points and wins and stuff.
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:20.799
And I don't follow hockey as religiously as I do basketball and other sports, but um, I will say that they are a fun team to watch, especially with the addition of Porter Martone in this lineup and things like that.
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:37.279
He's been able to bring like a new dimension to uh hockey, and then you add that into Michikov, Kiterie, um, Keneckni, and like the the regular guys who have been there for a while with Zegris, and um they're fun to watch, and they are a power team.
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:49.279
Like I was watching that that whole Flyers game, they were putting hits on Penguins players, you know, causing like some um hard hits, and uh even if you get a penalty or so, just like making it a chippy affair.
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:56.079
Uh just like the Sixers are playing our rival Celtics, why not make it a chippy affair like the Flyers playing the Pens?
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:01.839
See, that's something that they could take from, I guess, the Flyers in uh handling away performances.
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:04.799
They handled the Flyers handled that away performance perfectly.
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:20.160
They did scare me down the end with that uh they they tried to they tried to give up the lead uh at the end there, but um they held Rue and you know they can maybe make a good effort for game two and and you know bring it back to South Philly at the 2-0 lead.
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:21.200
That'd be incredible.
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:26.000
Um Sixers, on the other hand, I uh I'm not sure if they'll be able to do that.
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.000
Uh as we've talked about on the show for the past 20 minutes or so.
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:39.359
But um, yeah, there's this is the only hope in Philadelphia right now is the Flyers, just based on what we've seen over one playoff game on both the Flyers and the Sixers.
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:43.279
And the Phillies are just really not looking good so far.
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:59.680
They've lost more series, I think as many series in like the first couple, like the first month or two of the season than they have like all of last season, which is just awful, especially when they've been one of the better performing teams at home in front of a great crowd at Assistance Bank Park.
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:10.240
So I'm just overall, like the the Flyers are the one bright spot, especially for a team that just historically in the recent history just has never been the bright spot in Philadelphia.
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:18.079
I'm glad that they're grabbing that bright spot and, you know, taking control of it because they've been a fun team to watch, especially in Philadelphia.
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.359
Yeah, as of yesterday, the Phillies lost four games in a row.
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:22.640
They lost their fifth series.
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:23.680
They've only won two.
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.759
And of course, they lost that series against the Atlanta Braves, which makes things even worse.
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.960
And then again, you you look at what the Flyers strategy was.
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:33.519
They wanted to get into Sidney Crosby's head.
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:34.799
And they absolutely did that.
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.519
Because the last two minutes of the game, he was in the penalty box.
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:39.200
He couldn't even participate, right?
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.200
They had a chance to tie the game, right?
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.400
Because it was close, thank goodness for that Porter Martin goal.
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.039
Because if it wasn't for that, the game would have been tied, right?
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:52.319
Yeah, that opening goal from Jamie Drysdale, uh, Travis Sandheim was able to get that game up to one.
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:55.519
But they were able to get into Crosby's head.
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:59.039
And even the Celtics were saying our goal was to get into Maxi's head.
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:00.559
And I believe they did that.
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:08.640
Like, it's such a cool moment in sports when you have two rivalries happening in the playoffs, right?
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:20.000
I mean, you have again the Flyers and the Penguins, you have the Sixers and the Celtics, one of the most historic rivalries in the entire NBA, other than maybe Celtics Lakers.
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:24.480
I mean, there's nothing else more historic than that in the NBA.
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:30.319
So to not be able to take advantage of that and try to get into Jason Tatum's head, try to get into Jalen Brown's head.
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:32.319
Like it just shows weakness.
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:35.599
The Flyers did not show weakness at all yesterday.
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:37.599
The Sixers, that's all they showed.
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.640
And they need to come back on Tuesday.
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:47.119
They need to come back on Tuesday, reset and show what they're made of.
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:47.920
Right?
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.720
They need to show some fight because they just didn't have that.
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.519
And if not, it's it's just gonna be a sweep.
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:54.880
It's gonna be an ass whooping.
00:23:55.039 --> 00:24:00.000
And as I said, change is gonna be needed because we we can't keep running this back.
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:01.119
We can't keep doing this.
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:08.640
Oh, well, if Embiid gets healthy next year, if Embiid gets healthy the year after that, because then something else is gonna happen, right?
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.799
Then something's gonna happen to Paul George because he keeps getting older and older and older.
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:17.359
I mean, if it wasn't for the 25-game suspension, it probably would have been another injury.
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:20.319
Let's be fair, let's be honest, right?
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:22.559
And he's been looking great the last several games.
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:25.759
Now, again, in in this game today, he didn't do too much.
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:35.039
He he was efficient, but he needed more than eight shots, especially when you don't have Embiid, who is a 30 plus point per game scorer.
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:41.440
So there's just uh I'm very negative right now, and I don't want to be, but that's just how it is.
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:43.920
We'll just have to look forward to the Flyers tomorrow.
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:45.279
That's kind of all we have.
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:50.240
And after the Sixers game two, obviously you're gonna hear our reaction to that.
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:52.880
