Down against Weapony II.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Flabs of the seventy six Ers postgame show right now
on ninety seven to five the Fanatic.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
My goodness, what a game tonight for the seventy six
Ers and the Rockets.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Between the seventy six Ers and the.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Rockets, I should say one forty four to one to
thirty seven Rockets in overtime. The Sixers on the second day,
second night of a back to back. Although yesterday was
a day game and when they beat Dallas they led
this game by as many as twenty five early in
the second half, they fall in overtime. The game was
(02:26):
tied at one thirty one at the end of regulation
and the final score is one forty four, one thirty seven,
despite a franchise record tying twenty four to three pointers
for Philadelphia and a career high forty six points and
thirteen rebounds for Quinton Grimes in forty three minutes overall,
(02:47):
we'll catch up with Tom McGinnis and Nick Nurse.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Matt Murphy with you.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
The Rockets have won seven straight, although the Sixers, while
without eleven players tonight and facing back to back, gave
them everything they could handle. Houston was led by thirty
apiece for Jalen Green and Jabari Smith. Junior Green had
a career high thirteen assists as well. She Guon did
(03:13):
get his fortieth double double of the year thirteen points,
eleven rebounds. He had an and one to start the overtime.
And let's go back to Tom McGuinness in Houston as
we await Nick nurse. Tom was this case of running
out of gas without eleven guys when ten missed yesterday
while on a back to back.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Well, I'm sure that played a factor, but I thought
the size was maybe even more of an element that
played in here down the stretch like Chagoon, like when
they trotted out Jabbari Smith six' eleven and for that
final sequence alone And Steven adams close to. Seven, well
(03:55):
In trona wind out the, most you, know so let's
let's hear the curses.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Available, yeah, LISTEN i think that it. Was there was
tremendous amounts of stretches where we executed what we what
we were trying to do both ends of the, floor
but especially, defensively and then we kind of got. Blitzed
we kind of got blitzed in the, third but it
(04:23):
was still the right. Execution they made eleven threes in the,
Third but we, really we really were in a kind
of a tight paint formation as you saw anything that
got into the, paint we were sending bodies and and
and they just you, know they just got really hot
from three to close the game. Down but probably the
(04:44):
most interesting thing to me was them erase in that
twenty five point lead to tie it into the, quarter
and our guys came right back out and put a
tennel tennel run on them to start the. Fourth and you,
know games are never over till they're. Over but if
we probably either complete one more pass or make a
few more free, throws we probably get out of there
(05:05):
with a win and. Regulation but, AGAIN i think you
look all the way down at the nine guys who were,
there and they all, contributed and, uh you, know played
played pretty. Good web you talk, about you, know you
talk about the.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Eleven and three ds that you guys made that you
made twenty, four which is a season.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Nine yeah and.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Likes rob, said the execution on a lot of things
were you, know was up there for you guys as
a team that for the.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Season, well it certainly. Was in the first. Half, KEITH
i THINK i think the way we were, spacing, driving
moving the, ball kicking out swinging it to the next
guy was super high. Level you, KNOW i think we
HAD i don't, know fifteen or seventeen assists at the, half,
right so we were, really you, know really doing it.
(05:57):
Right in the first, HALF i got obviously got a lot.
Tougher they played very, small so they could switch and
not not let us let us get as many you,
know they kind of switched to what they were, doing
which was guard us one on one and not help
from the. Perimeter there wasn't as many, kickouts and we
had to finish more at the in the paint or
at the, rim and we finished a, bunch but not
(06:18):
quite enough probably in the just kind of the adjustments
that they.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Made please think Of quinn's that. Night he had a
career high forty six points of career high thirteen, rebounds
as well a career eight.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Threes, YEAH i mean that's that's again you're gonna, say,
Oh i'm happy about the thirteen boards eleven, Defensive like you,
know you, Know i've been talking about that all, year
about other people helping from the perimeter to come down
and help. Rebound so he did a great job of.
That but he was you, know he was playing really,
good and then he got super, hot right he started
(06:53):
throwing in you, know all kind of once he was
double teamed in the corner and he nailed the three
in the. OVERTIME i, think you, know he was obviously feeling.
It but, again he's he's again said this a lot before,
too but he's pretty good at vaulting up and getting
space and getting back away from, people making them. Contested you,
(07:13):
Know i'm watching the game like you. Are you're probably
feeling the same. Way like every time he, vaults he's
going in, right and that's a that's a that's a pretty.
UH i, know it's a probably incredible feeling for, him
but it's it's a good feeling for.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Everybody was there.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
One thing that really stood out to?
Speaker 5 (07:28):
You who was surprised you that you you.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Guys were able to do?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Tonight he you, know he had nine guys and you
know most of these guys weren't in the.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Rotation well, LISTEN i know this is gonna sound, funny
being that we gave up all those offensive, rebounds but
just the physicality that they play with and that our
GUYS i thought traded blows with, him you, know really
traded blows with him in all, aspects and again that
is a it's not an easy thing to. Do that's
some experienced. Guys that's a winning. Team these are young
(07:57):
guys and those guys, Like, okay maybe they didn't play
great in the first, half but they were given everything
they could and we were we were going toe to
toe with, Them so that's a that's also a good.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Sign this is the seventy Six ers postgame show presented
By Parks casino after a one forty, four one thirty
seven overtime loss for The sixers to The rockets In
houston and Tom this is sort of a broad, question
but how do you describe what this Particular sixers group
just showed against the second Place rockets because they scored
(08:29):
two hundred and sixty seven points The sixers did in
this road back to back over the last two.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Days, YEAH i mean like they were just, hooping. RIGHT i,
mean those guys had started the game Council, Edwards, Prissette, Grimes,
butler even When Hutcha fino got in, There jeff doubt
and ended up playing sixteen minutes four of eight like
they were spreading them, out moving the. Balls coach said
they had seventeen assists in the, beginning fifteen, threes and
(08:54):
they just you, know they they rode a wave of,
momentum The, sixers and it wasn't like they you, know
they weren't playing the, resumes the, records they weren't playing
what you, know like they were just letting it fly
and they were having a lot of. Success and, again you,
know you knew it was, coming like kind of like
That indiana game the other. Day for in that, game
(09:15):
it was the third, quarter and it was the third
quarter in tonight's game. Two they scored forty five, points you,
know and in the end they just didn't have. Enough
speaking of The, sixers but it was partly the third
score this, quarter the scoring they did and the. Rebounding you,
know how they they turned the. Tables they had an
advantage and they totally you, know exploited that and made
(09:37):
it work to their advantage down the.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Stretch Like Quentin, grimes even When houston took control of the,
overtime he knocked down a couple of, Threes he gets
the forty six and coach complimented his. Rebounding but what
has maybe surprised you About Quentin, grimes who just had
forty six after two and a half weeks ago scoring
forty four on The.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Warriors, yeah so he he makes you, know he gets
on a roll then that that part's, obvious you, know
but he plays like these he he Like Dylan, brooks
was all over them and it's hard to get open
when somebody's guarding you that way into. Nine and then
even when that's one, thing he's catching the ball against
(10:19):
tight pressure, defense physical defense like, that breaking into space
to get the. Ball and then when you get it
and then you start going towards the, basket it starts
all over again and it's mostly rugged and they were
doubling him and. Whatnot so he makes contested. Shots you,
know that's really. Good and then so you, know if
you're Quitting grimes and you're you're entering the prime of your, career,
(10:42):
right he's now proving that he can score on a consistent.
Basis but you, know when you get on a team
with a full rotation with The, stars hopefully The sixers
will be able to re sign. Him like you've got
to prove that you can guard and prove that you
can rebound for your. Position those are things kind of
that get you in the lineup every single, game and you,
(11:05):
know tonight he did a he'd be really impressed the.
Coaches you Heard Coach nurse, Postgame but thirteen, Rebounds so
that that to, me he's been able to, score you,
know and there's like it's not a, surprise like he's
got guarantee he's with this group Of. Sixers he's right
up there at the top of the scouting. Report so,
THAT i guess would be one of the things that
he's been able to score against tight defensive pressure and
(11:28):
make contested. Shots that's a huge. Plus not everybody can do.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
That forty six points and thirteen rebounds For Quentin, grimes
both career highs in a one forty four one thirty
seven overtime loss on the road for The sixers to
The Houston. Rockets Matt murphy And tom McGuinness here on
Our Parks casino postgame, Show Nick nurse mentioned a ten
to ozero run for The sixers to start the fourth
after The rockets tied at. Seven of those points were From.
Grimes and you know who else probably liked the thirteen,
(11:53):
rebounds his college Coach Kelvin. Samson and now who do
The sixers get for a reward after playing so hard
against the second Place, rockets but the first Place Oklahoma City,
thunder who are fifty six and twelve and awaiting The
sixers On, wednesday where they are twenty eight and five at.
(12:13):
Home they are the top defense in THE. Nba This
houston team is, second although they gave up one hundred
and thirty seven. Tonight so what do The sixers have
to do AGAINST sga and The thunder On?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Wednesday day of rest for?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Starters you, know you break down the road trip and you're,
like because this just, ended what was three and four
again having played On friday and then Boom sunday And.
Monday but then now it's you, know you look and
It's wednesday And, friday so a little bit of breathing
room in the schedule and just you, know there's not
not a lot you can do to combat yet that
(12:48):
athletic but The oklahoma Like cleveland's having a remarkable. Year
but for The sixers to kind of continue to do
what they've been, doing and that is just let it,
rip you, know like let it, go try to outscore, them.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
And size becomes a factor again against for, sure The
thunder because they didn't have Chet holmgren when The sixers
played them earlier this season On january, Fourteenth shay had
a great. Game they did have sixty two points in
the paint because he's not much of a three point.
Shooter But homegren is back and sometimes pretty. Often actually
they start Home grin And hartenstein and The sixers didn't
(13:23):
Have yabuselli, Tonight so it's it could, be could be
a case of small. Ball maybe The thunder will, adjust
AND i guess we'll we'll find out on the Six
wenesday The thunder.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Adjust that's that's a part of this.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Well for, example The thunder didn't start Home grin And
hartenstein Against, boston but they have in like two of
the last three other.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Thing they made the rockets, adjust that's for, sure, Right
like In shingoun didn't play because of the five, out
but then LIKE i, said they inserted him at the
end and.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
He was a major factor obviously in, overtime.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Lots of three. Pointers Tom So i'll let you uh.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Foul shot was that'd be an interesting, breakdown right because
like they obviously you could just sense like the way
The sixers bench was reacting that they brought in the
two bigs.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Like, yeah you, know you could just end of. Regulation,
yeah he was gonna try to miss, that and he.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Did that's a pretty good. Miss how he did it,
too like uh and For shingoon to get it and
score that was that was obviously a major element of the.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Game about six seconds, left The sixers fouled up by,
three and after the first free throw was, made they
intentionally missed tipped it In shngoon Around, brissette and they
got to overtime and won the.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Game you know what, Too, Matt like this IS i
did AFTER i spoke with. COACH i asked him because
you like to hear a coach's philosophy so it can
inform your. Brocket LIKE i, SAID i was a, little
as we, say A latin post. Facto brought it up
after and this is really. After but one of the
reasons he doesn't do it or didn't do it yesterday
and is reluctant to do it at the time because
(14:51):
of the size and. That AND i was trying to
figure out what is He and that's what he means right,
there because if they're gonna they're gonna miss on purpose
or the foul, shooting you know and that and that
because he felt like they were going to be undersize
and they were in this. Situation it'd be, DIFFERENT i
think if he Had embead And drummond and. Whatever but
(15:11):
the size that The rockets had made the difference on that.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Play and oftentimes they want the foul and the offensive
player as they're back to the, basket Which smith's back
was to the, basket so he couldn't try a. Three
so it was cleanly executed by The, sixers but so
too for The, rockets exactly what they wanted to.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Do and then they went.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
In overtime Tom wednesday, Night Oklahoma. City the road trip,
continues a six game road trip where will be halfway
through it On, wednesday but The rockets win a wild.
One thanks so, Much, okay good, night Murpheven in o
t two meetings between cross conference teams both went to
(15:50):
overtime this. Year it Was november twenty seventh In. Philadelphia
The rockets won and. Overtime shegoon had eleven of their
fourteen and ot that. Night, tonight he started them with
three of his five overtime. Points he had five of
his eleven rebounds in the extra session to finish with
thirteen and eleven thirty apiece For Jalen green And Jabari Smith,
(16:11):
junior but the forty six For Quentin. Grimes all five
starters had at least ten, points some pretty high.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Totals Jared butler had twenty.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
One two double figure scorers off the bench as well
for The sixers In Dalton junior And Jalen Hood, schaffino
but they did their damage in the first. Half smith's
thirty For houston were in a reserve. Role and there's
a lot of interesting historic context for the stats, tonight
specifically the three pointers between both, teams so that will
(16:42):
be a stat of the game that you'll want to.
Hear and we'll run through this game from start to
finish In houston With Tom tom's highlight. Calls but after
a break again the final score The rockets won forty
four The sixers one thirty. Seven and this is The
Parks casino Postgame, show all, Right so there is a
(17:06):
lot to cover here on The Parks Casino Postgame, show
the seventy Six Ers Parks Casino Postgame show after a
wild one In. Houston we're going to go through the
game from start to finish right, NOW a condensed version
in our final. Segment here here's how it, sounded as
(17:27):
called By tom. McGuinness The sixers and The rockets In,
Houston Matt murphy back with. You The sixers in red uniforms,
tonight The rockets in white H town uniforms on a
city edition night for. Them the first meeting of the
season between the, two back in Late november And, philly

A Men thompson out For, houston The sixers used their
forty fourth different starting. Lineup it Was Jared, Butler Quentin,
Grimes Ricky, council the Fourth Justin edwards O'she, brissett essentially
the starting center on a ten day contract his third
(18:09):
game with The, sixers a six foot seven. Player it's
the fourth most starting lineup combinations in a season IN
nba history since at least nineteen seventy. Five memphis last
year had fifty One Golden state a couple of times
from two thousand and eight to twenty. Ten those three
ahead of The sixers IN nba, History houston winners of six,
straight coming in second place in The. West second game
(18:31):
of a back to back for The sixers to tip
off their six game road trip after Beating dallas. Yesterday first,
Quarter sixers started up fourteen to, nine despite all nine
points and then the first eleven For houston coming From Tary,
eason who had a career high thirty On, friday had
twenty one tonight before fouling out of the. Game they
(18:52):
forced a time out after starting five to nine from
the field compared to four of. Fourteen then they would
use a fourteen to two scoring run On an O'she
brissett and one for a twenty three eleven. Lead and
still in the first, Quarter Justin edwards is left. Handed
he goes to that left hand with. Authority Here's Justin.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Edwards domine and he slams.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Twenty nine to.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Seventeen edwards finished the game with eighteen. Points he made
four to three pointers on a night where threes were
the story that dunk was, impressive but it was mostly
outside shooting tonight For edwards included and many of his,
teammates many of The rockets as. Well so from twenty
nine to seventeen to the very end of the first,
(19:47):
quarter in which The City mixers were going for their
ninth three pointer of the, quarter which would be a
new first quarter scoring high in the quarter as well
with over forty. Points it's in the hands of O'she
brissette with only a couple of seconds, left.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Four seconds to, go he's at mid court to O'Hay

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Horn oh.
Speaker 5 (20:07):

four on the board in the opening. Quarter they'd make
nine threes and they lead The rockets by sixty.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Nine for fourteen became fifteen made threes in the first,
half which is the new season high for The. Sixers
they were up forty four to twenty eight after the first.
Quarter in the, Second Jalen Hood schafino had another twelve point.

(20:40):
of threes in this. Game this was inside the arc
off a defensive play the steal and the.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Score he threw it Away jalen Hood shaffino with a
steel three on three right to. Left kalen keeps, it
tries it off the, glass and then he went probably
At Freddie. Fagun he put it in The Sixers league

A twenty one point lead for the seventy Six ers In.
Houston hodschafino all twelve of his points in the game

Lead of the night twenty five. Points council added a
free throw for a ten point game as a starter

eleven points in the second quarter and then eleven more
(23:09):
in the third quarter here to cut it to.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Twelve the end of the Late Dylan brooks lay up

left in the. Third Jabari Smith junior had had his
moments in this game for, sure particularly to help them
(23:47):
complete this third third quarter. Comeback a three pointer in
this late stages and then an eleven foot shot to

out five point two on the. Clock Jared, butler who
had the free, throws Fouled Jabari Smith junior intentionally who
(27:04):
made the first free, throw and then the plan was
to intentionally miss the. Second and here's how it.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Sounded Jabbari. Smith, yeah he looks like he's gonna miss
this on. Purpose he's apple. Line, yeah it's in the.
Air he hits it off the. Back they get To
reba pitch a good put it. In The rockets have tied.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
It Alp Ron shengoon and The rockets tied it at
one thirty one after The sixers led in the second
half by as many as twenty. Five that huge forty
five point third quarter For houston tied it at one oh,
two and then the tip in as he was around
(27:46):
O'she brissett on the box, Out Shenn goon tipped it
in well executed By, smith missing it at the. Line
shengoon forces overtime where The rockets beat The sixers earlier
this year In philly as, mentioned And shengoon had an
and one to start the overtime And Jalen green he
(28:06):
didn't hit many threes, tonight but this gave them a
six point lead early in THE ot.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
To Jalen green for three at the shock buck.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Buzzer he put it in and The rockets have the
first six and overtime.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Now Quentin grimes had a couple of threes in the,
overtime but ultimately The rockets do prevail in big time
comeback fashion by a final score of one forty four
to one thirty seven in ot outscoring The sixers thirteen
to six in the extra, session but the added threes
For grimes gave him forty six on the night with
(28:41):
the thirteen, rebounds so forty six points a new career
high thirteen, rebounds a career, high four, assists one block
in two. Steals he shot fifteen of twenty, seven eight
of fourteen from, three eight of thirteen at the, line
so he missed five free, throws The sixers missed eight

(29:06):
throws took fifty three. Threes sixers took forty nine sixers
fall to twenty three and forty. Five The rockets stay
second in The west at forty four and twenty. Five
just a wild game In. Houston as we put a
bow on, it we will do the team totals from the.
(29:26):
Field we will also have our stat of the. Game
Jalen GREEN i Mentioned grimes lead in points and. Rebounds
green led in assists thirteen. Assists with the thirty, points
he was only five for seventeen from three point. Range
they shot forty one point five percent from three to The,
rockets they were twenty two for fifty, three led by
(29:51):
five apiece For green on high, Volume Jabari Smith junior
five of seven And Dylan brooks five for. Eleven these
sixers were twenty four for forty nine from three point,
range led By. Grimes they got four of seven From,
edwards three for five From, council three for five From
dalton After grimes is eight for, Fourteen so that's a
(30:12):
forty nine night from three point range and the twenty
four in the first segment we said tied to franchise
record twenty four made three. Pointers that Was march, thirty
first of last year In toronto that they made twenty.
Four the most they had made in a game this
year was twenty one twice in Late, january both at
(30:34):
home Against cleveland and then a week later Against. Denver,
overall The sixers shot better than The rockets fifty and
a half percent to forty eight percent For. Houston but
our stat of the game is the combined three pointers
because it combined is forty, six which earlier this season
(31:02):
The warriors and The mavericks made forty eight for AN
nba record combined three pointer. Record that one put them
past the previous record of forty, four which was The
kings and The clippers in a triple overtime game In
february twenty twenty. Three so tonight one overtime and The
(31:23):
sixers go past That kings And clippers game of forty
four with The rockets And sixers dwo with forty six
combined three pointers and The sixers tying a franchise record
while they're at, it but it was a, loss and
it's the seventh straight win for The. Rockets The sixers
stay on the road now and go from playing the
(31:44):
second place team to the first place team In Oklahoma,
City houston's the top rebounding, team and it ended up
fifty eight to thirty. Five all, told The sixers were
hanging around there for a long. Time points in the
paint were fifty six to thirty Eight, houston and offensive
rebounds twenty three for The rockets that led to twenty
(32:06):
seven points only eight offensive rebounds for The sixers that
led to ten. Points bench points were fifty two to
thirty One rockets because of the thirty For Jabari Smith,
junior but a career game For Quentin grimes a valiant
effort on the second night of a shorthanded back to
(32:27):
back for The. Sixers in, Fact grimes became the first
player in franchise history to record forty five plus, points
ten plus, rebounds and five or more threes in a.
Game Quentin grimes has been awesome for the seventy Six,

Speaker 3 (01:58):
My goodness, what a game tonight for the seventy six
Ers and the Rockets.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Between the seventy six Ers and the.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Rockets, I should say one forty four to one to
thirty seven Rockets in overtime. The Sixers on the second day,
second night of a back to back. Although yesterday was
a day game and when they beat Dallas they led
this game by as many as twenty five early in
the second half, they fall in overtime. The game was
(02:26):
tied at one thirty one at the end of regulation
and the final score is one forty four, one thirty seven,
despite a franchise record tying twenty four to three pointers
for Philadelphia and a career high forty six points and
thirteen rebounds for Quinton Grimes in forty three minutes overall,
(02:47):
we'll catch up with Tom McGinnis and Nick Nurse.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Matt Murphy with you.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
The Rockets have won seven straight, although the Sixers, while
without eleven players tonight and facing back to back, gave
them everything they could handle. Houston was led by thirty
apiece for Jalen Green and Jabari Smith. Junior Green had
a career high thirteen assists as well. She Guon did
(03:13):
get his fortieth double double of the year thirteen points,
eleven rebounds. He had an and one to start the overtime.
And let's go back to Tom McGuinness in Houston as
we await Nick nurse. Tom was this case of running
out of gas without eleven guys when ten missed yesterday
while on a back to back.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Well, I'm sure that played a factor, but I thought
the size was maybe even more of an element that
played in here down the stretch like Chagoon, like when
they trotted out Jabbari Smith six' eleven and for that
final sequence alone And Steven adams close to. Seven, well
(03:55):
In trona wind out the, most you, know so let's
let's hear the curses.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Available, yeah, LISTEN i think that it. Was there was
tremendous amounts of stretches where we executed what we what
we were trying to do both ends of the, floor
but especially, defensively and then we kind of got. Blitzed
we kind of got blitzed in the, third but it
(04:23):
was still the right. Execution they made eleven threes in the,
Third but we, really we really were in a kind
of a tight paint formation as you saw anything that
got into the, paint we were sending bodies and and
and they just you, know they just got really hot
from three to close the game. Down but probably the
(04:44):
most interesting thing to me was them erase in that
twenty five point lead to tie it into the, quarter
and our guys came right back out and put a
tennel tennel run on them to start the. Fourth and you,
know games are never over till they're. Over but if
we probably either complete one more pass or make a
few more free, throws we probably get out of there
(05:05):
with a win and. Regulation but, AGAIN i think you
look all the way down at the nine guys who were,
there and they all, contributed and, uh you, know played
played pretty. Good web you talk, about you, know you
talk about the.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Eleven and three ds that you guys made that you
made twenty, four which is a season.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Nine yeah and.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Likes rob, said the execution on a lot of things
were you, know was up there for you guys as
a team that for the.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Season, well it certainly. Was in the first. Half, KEITH
i THINK i think the way we were, spacing, driving
moving the, ball kicking out swinging it to the next
guy was super high. Level you, KNOW i think we
HAD i don't, know fifteen or seventeen assists at the, half,
right so we were, really you, know really doing it.
(05:57):
Right in the first, HALF i got obviously got a lot.
Tougher they played very, small so they could switch and
not not let us let us get as many you,
know they kind of switched to what they were, doing
which was guard us one on one and not help
from the. Perimeter there wasn't as many, kickouts and we
had to finish more at the in the paint or
at the, rim and we finished a, bunch but not
(06:18):
quite enough probably in the just kind of the adjustments
that they.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Made please think Of quinn's that. Night he had a
career high forty six points of career high thirteen, rebounds
as well a career eight.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Threes, YEAH i mean that's that's again you're gonna, say,
Oh i'm happy about the thirteen boards eleven, Defensive like you,
know you, Know i've been talking about that all, year
about other people helping from the perimeter to come down
and help. Rebound so he did a great job of.
That but he was you, know he was playing really,
good and then he got super, hot right he started
(06:53):
throwing in you, know all kind of once he was
double teamed in the corner and he nailed the three
in the. OVERTIME i, think you, know he was obviously feeling.
It but, again he's he's again said this a lot before,
too but he's pretty good at vaulting up and getting
space and getting back away from, people making them. Contested you,
(07:13):
Know i'm watching the game like you. Are you're probably
feeling the same. Way like every time he, vaults he's
going in, right and that's a that's a that's a pretty.
UH i, know it's a probably incredible feeling for, him
but it's it's a good feeling for.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Everybody was there.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
One thing that really stood out to?
Speaker 5 (07:28):
You who was surprised you that you you.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Guys were able to do?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Tonight he you, know he had nine guys and you
know most of these guys weren't in the.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Rotation well, LISTEN i know this is gonna sound, funny
being that we gave up all those offensive, rebounds but
just the physicality that they play with and that our
GUYS i thought traded blows with, him you, know really
traded blows with him in all, aspects and again that
is a it's not an easy thing to. Do that's
some experienced. Guys that's a winning. Team these are young
(07:57):
guys and those guys, Like, okay maybe they didn't play
great in the first, half but they were given everything
they could and we were we were going toe to
toe with, Them so that's a that's also a good.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Sign this is the seventy Six ers postgame show presented
By Parks casino after a one forty, four one thirty
seven overtime loss for The sixers to The rockets In
houston and Tom this is sort of a broad, question
but how do you describe what this Particular sixers group
just showed against the second Place rockets because they scored
(08:29):
two hundred and sixty seven points The sixers did in
this road back to back over the last two.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Days, YEAH i mean like they were just, hooping. RIGHT i,
mean those guys had started the game Council, Edwards, Prissette, Grimes,
butler even When Hutcha fino got in, There jeff doubt
and ended up playing sixteen minutes four of eight like
they were spreading them, out moving the. Balls coach said
they had seventeen assists in the, beginning fifteen, threes and
(08:54):
they just you, know they they rode a wave of,
momentum The, sixers and it wasn't like they you, know
they weren't playing the, resumes the, records they weren't playing
what you, know like they were just letting it fly
and they were having a lot of. Success and, again you,
know you knew it was, coming like kind of like
That indiana game the other. Day for in that, game
(09:15):
it was the third, quarter and it was the third
quarter in tonight's game. Two they scored forty five, points you,
know and in the end they just didn't have. Enough
speaking of The, sixers but it was partly the third
score this, quarter the scoring they did and the. Rebounding you,
know how they they turned the. Tables they had an
advantage and they totally you, know exploited that and made
(09:37):
it work to their advantage down the.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Stretch Like Quentin, grimes even When houston took control of the,
overtime he knocked down a couple of, Threes he gets
the forty six and coach complimented his. Rebounding but what
has maybe surprised you About Quentin, grimes who just had
forty six after two and a half weeks ago scoring
forty four on The.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Warriors, yeah so he he makes you, know he gets
on a roll then that that part's, obvious you, know
but he plays like these he he Like Dylan, brooks
was all over them and it's hard to get open
when somebody's guarding you that way into. Nine and then
even when that's one, thing he's catching the ball against
(10:19):
tight pressure, defense physical defense like, that breaking into space
to get the. Ball and then when you get it
and then you start going towards the, basket it starts
all over again and it's mostly rugged and they were
doubling him and. Whatnot so he makes contested. Shots you,
know that's really. Good and then so you, know if
you're Quitting grimes and you're you're entering the prime of your, career,
(10:42):
right he's now proving that he can score on a consistent.
Basis but you, know when you get on a team
with a full rotation with The, stars hopefully The sixers
will be able to re sign. Him like you've got
to prove that you can guard and prove that you
can rebound for your. Position those are things kind of
that get you in the lineup every single, game and you,
(11:05):
know tonight he did a he'd be really impressed the.
Coaches you Heard Coach nurse, Postgame but thirteen, Rebounds so
that that to, me he's been able to, score you,
know and there's like it's not a, surprise like he's
got guarantee he's with this group Of. Sixers he's right
up there at the top of the scouting. Report so,
THAT i guess would be one of the things that
he's been able to score against tight defensive pressure and
(11:28):
make contested. Shots that's a huge. Plus not everybody can do.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
That forty six points and thirteen rebounds For Quentin, grimes
both career highs in a one forty four one thirty
seven overtime loss on the road for The sixers to
The Houston. Rockets Matt murphy And tom McGuinness here on
Our Parks casino postgame, Show Nick nurse mentioned a ten
to ozero run for The sixers to start the fourth
after The rockets tied at. Seven of those points were From.
Grimes and you know who else probably liked the thirteen,
(11:53):
rebounds his college Coach Kelvin. Samson and now who do
The sixers get for a reward after playing so hard
against the second Place, rockets but the first Place Oklahoma City,
thunder who are fifty six and twelve and awaiting The
sixers On, wednesday where they are twenty eight and five at.
(12:13):
Home they are the top defense in THE. Nba This
houston team is, second although they gave up one hundred
and thirty seven. Tonight so what do The sixers have
to do AGAINST sga and The thunder On?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Wednesday day of rest for?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Starters you, know you break down the road trip and you're,
like because this just, ended what was three and four
again having played On friday and then Boom sunday And.
Monday but then now it's you, know you look and
It's wednesday And, friday so a little bit of breathing
room in the schedule and just you, know there's not
not a lot you can do to combat yet that
(12:48):
athletic but The oklahoma Like cleveland's having a remarkable. Year
but for The sixers to kind of continue to do
what they've been, doing and that is just let it,
rip you, know like let it, go try to outscore, them.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
And size becomes a factor again against for, sure The
thunder because they didn't have Chet holmgren when The sixers
played them earlier this season On january, Fourteenth shay had
a great. Game they did have sixty two points in
the paint because he's not much of a three point.
Shooter But homegren is back and sometimes pretty. Often actually
they start Home grin And hartenstein and The sixers didn't
(13:23):
Have yabuselli, Tonight so it's it could, be could be
a case of small. Ball maybe The thunder will, adjust
AND i guess we'll we'll find out on the Six
wenesday The thunder.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Adjust that's that's a part of this.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Well for, example The thunder didn't start Home grin And
hartenstein Against, boston but they have in like two of
the last three other.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Thing they made the rockets, adjust that's for, sure, Right
like In shingoun didn't play because of the five, out
but then LIKE i, said they inserted him at the
end and.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
He was a major factor obviously in, overtime.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Lots of three. Pointers Tom So i'll let you uh.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Foul shot was that'd be an interesting, breakdown right because
like they obviously you could just sense like the way
The sixers bench was reacting that they brought in the
two bigs.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Like, yeah you, know you could just end of. Regulation,
yeah he was gonna try to miss, that and he.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Did that's a pretty good. Miss how he did it,
too like uh and For shingoon to get it and
score that was that was obviously a major element of the.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Game about six seconds, left The sixers fouled up by,
three and after the first free throw was, made they
intentionally missed tipped it In shngoon Around, brissette and they
got to overtime and won the.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Game you know what, Too, Matt like this IS i
did AFTER i spoke with. COACH i asked him because
you like to hear a coach's philosophy so it can
inform your. Brocket LIKE i, SAID i was a, little
as we, say A latin post. Facto brought it up
after and this is really. After but one of the
reasons he doesn't do it or didn't do it yesterday
and is reluctant to do it at the time because
(14:51):
of the size and. That AND i was trying to
figure out what is He and that's what he means right,
there because if they're gonna they're gonna miss on purpose
or the foul, shooting you know and that and that
because he felt like they were going to be undersize
and they were in this. Situation it'd be, DIFFERENT i
think if he Had embead And drummond and. Whatever but
(15:11):
the size that The rockets had made the difference on that.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Play and oftentimes they want the foul and the offensive
player as they're back to the, basket Which smith's back
was to the, basket so he couldn't try a. Three
so it was cleanly executed by The, sixers but so
too for The, rockets exactly what they wanted to.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Do and then they went.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
In overtime Tom wednesday, Night Oklahoma. City the road trip,
continues a six game road trip where will be halfway
through it On, wednesday but The rockets win a wild.
One thanks so, Much, okay good, night Murpheven in o
t two meetings between cross conference teams both went to
(15:50):
overtime this. Year it Was november twenty seventh In. Philadelphia
The rockets won and. Overtime shegoon had eleven of their
fourteen and ot that. Night, tonight he started them with
three of his five overtime. Points he had five of
his eleven rebounds in the extra session to finish with
thirteen and eleven thirty apiece For Jalen green And Jabari Smith,
(16:11):
junior but the forty six For Quentin. Grimes all five
starters had at least ten, points some pretty high.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Totals Jared butler had twenty.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
One two double figure scorers off the bench as well
for The sixers In Dalton junior And Jalen Hood, schaffino
but they did their damage in the first. Half smith's
thirty For houston were in a reserve. Role and there's
a lot of interesting historic context for the stats, tonight
specifically the three pointers between both, teams so that will
(16:42):
be a stat of the game that you'll want to.
Hear and we'll run through this game from start to
finish In houston With Tom tom's highlight. Calls but after
a break again the final score The rockets won forty
four The sixers one thirty. Seven and this is The
Parks casino Postgame, show all, Right so there is a
(17:06):
lot to cover here on The Parks Casino Postgame, show
the seventy Six Ers Parks Casino Postgame show after a
wild one In. Houston we're going to go through the
game from start to finish right, NOW a condensed version
in our final. Segment here here's how it, sounded as
(17:27):
called By tom. McGuinness The sixers and The rockets In,
Houston Matt murphy back with. You The sixers in red uniforms,
tonight The rockets in white H town uniforms on a
city edition night for. Them the first meeting of the
season between the, two back in Late november And, philly
was A rockets win in. Overtime The sixers were without
(17:49):
eleven players, tonight as Gershon yabusele was added to the
injury report from The dallas game, Yesterday Reed shepherd and
A Men thompson out For, houston The sixers used their
forty fourth different starting. Lineup it Was Jared, Butler Quentin,
Grimes Ricky, council the Fourth Justin edwards O'she, brissett essentially
the starting center on a ten day contract his third
(18:09):
game with The, sixers a six foot seven. Player it's
the fourth most starting lineup combinations in a season IN
nba history since at least nineteen seventy. Five memphis last
year had fifty One Golden state a couple of times
from two thousand and eight to twenty. Ten those three
ahead of The sixers IN nba, History houston winners of six,
straight coming in second place in The. West second game
(18:31):
of a back to back for The sixers to tip
off their six game road trip after Beating dallas. Yesterday first,
Quarter sixers started up fourteen to, nine despite all nine
points and then the first eleven For houston coming From Tary,
eason who had a career high thirty On, friday had
twenty one tonight before fouling out of the. Game they
(18:52):
forced a time out after starting five to nine from
the field compared to four of. Fourteen then they would
use a fourteen to two scoring run On an O'she
brissett and one for a twenty three eleven. Lead and
still in the first, Quarter Justin edwards is left. Handed
he goes to that left hand with. Authority Here's Justin.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Edwards domine and he slams.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
It what a dunk in the seventy sixties For it's another,
timeout a twelve point. Lead Justin edwards with eight. Points
what a dunk by M he throws it down.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Twenty nine to.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Seventeen edwards finished the game with eighteen. Points he made
four to three pointers on a night where threes were
the story that dunk was, impressive but it was mostly
outside shooting tonight For edwards included and many of his,
teammates many of The rockets as. Well so from twenty
nine to seventeen to the very end of the first,
(19:47):
quarter in which The City mixers were going for their
ninth three pointer of the, quarter which would be a
new first quarter scoring high in the quarter as well
with over forty. Points it's in the hands of O'she
brissette with only a couple of seconds, left.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Four seconds to, go he's at mid court to O'Hay
we'sett for three at the.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Horn oh.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Yeah he nailed another trifecta and The sixers put forty
four on the board in the opening. Quarter they'd make
nine threes and they lead The rockets by sixty.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Nine for fourteen became fifteen made threes in the first,
half which is the new season high for The. Sixers
they were up forty four to twenty eight after the first.
Quarter in the, Second Jalen Hood schafino had another twelve point.
Half just like The mavericks, game he made a couple
(20:40):
of threes in this. Game this was inside the arc
off a defensive play the steal and the.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Score he threw it Away jalen Hood shaffino with a
steel three on three right to. Left kalen keeps, it
tries it off the, glass and then he went probably
At Freddie. Fagun he put it in The Sixers league
fifty seven to thirty, six.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
A twenty one point lead for the seventy Six ers In.
Houston hodschafino all twelve of his points in the game
were in that first quarter or in that first. Half
he did play thirty one minutes off the. Bench it
was eleven points for O'she brissett with five rebounds to
