to five the fanatic.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
So it is a thirteen point loss for the Sixers
Tonight in Atlanta one thirty two to one nineteen. Welcome
to the Parks Casino postgame show, Matt Murphy will hear
from Tom McGinnis and Nick Nurse. Twenty eight points and
twelve assists for Trey Young to lead the home Hawks
over the Sixers. Five games completed for the Sixers on
(02:19):
this six game road trip. They will be in a
back to back situation at New Orleans tomorrow night at
eight Eastern. They have lost the season series to Atlanta
to nothing right now with a third game to play,
the second to last game of the season in Philadelphia
April eleventh, the only trip to Philly for the Hawks,
(02:41):
one thirty two, one nineteen the final the Sixers are
twenty three and forty eight. The Hawks are one game
under five hundred thirty five and thirty six as they're
in the play in picture, leading the play in in
the East right now, the seed seven through ten and
Detroit has a nice cushion for the sixth and final
spot that's guaranteed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Quintin Grimes
(03:05):
led the Sixers with twenty six points. Justin Edwards continued
his strong road trip with twenty two. Jeff Dalton Junior
ended up getting seventeen in his second career NBA start.
The Hawks have won three straight and eight of their
last eleven. As we await Nick Nurse, let's see if
we can check in with Tom McGuinness postgame here and
(03:27):
get his general takeaways from this fifth game of the
road trip.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
To start, well, I thought they were quite methodical Atlanta.
I mean, when you're playing well and like they played
last night, and you think that would be to their detriment,
but it's almost like they you know, they gained confidence
and picked up where they left off last night. And
Trey Young was just he was in a right I mean,
I thought, yeah, obviously he felt that he hit some
(03:53):
deep threes, he was off dribble penetration. He kind of
gets to wherever he wants. He found his guys, and
then they've got some young talented players and the likes
of Daniels and Resa Say. I thought Mohammed Gay had
some good moments for them, so did the Sixers. But
after the very beginning of the game, it felt like
the Sixers were playing catch up all game one, would
(04:14):
you agree?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I would, And the largest lead was twenty seven And
it wasn't a big first half for Young only seven
of his twenty eight in the first half, But as
you said, he really picked it up from there. I'll
ask about Reza Shae in a second, but a Sixers
young player in Edwards. He came into this one averaging
eighteen points per game on this road trip, and he
got twenty two tonight. What have you seen working for
(04:38):
Justin Well.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
You know, Matt, like I do. We learn a lot
from coach when you hear him. And by the ways
walking to the podium as we speak, and I'll halt
here in a moment, but one of the things he
talks about with Edwards he makes the right play, he
gets off the ball in other wards, he passes it
when nothing's there. And even his shots, he takes shots
in rhythm. You know what I mean. He's he's one
(05:00):
of these guys. He just has a knack. He's adjusted
really well to the to the NBA game. And I've
noticed that once I heard Coach talk about that, I'd
been able to pick it up. So Nick Nurse is
at the podium. Sounds like he's about to address the media.
Nobody's posed a question as of yet. He's looking at
a box score, and here's the Sixers head coach athletic team.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Think. Think it certainly bothered us and some of our finishing.
I thought we I think we missed like five what
I would consider layups in the first half and it's
still at twelve point game. Offensive rebounding hurt us a
little bit too. I mean, I know we got more
than they did, but they had some big ones that
were that were good stops. Offensive rebound kickout for three.
(05:44):
And then again I thought, I thought both Justin and
Schuma had had really good games. Shuma just fighting on
the glass. Justin was was solid. Didn't get quite as
high a percentage to go in tonight as he has been,
but still pretty good, three or six from three, a
couple of transition ones, uh, some good drives to the basket,
(06:05):
you know, played played pretty solid. Took his crack at
at Trey. You know, a couple bunch of guys you know,
going going at him, and Justin took his time at
him too, did a decent job. Yeah that's about it
about there.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You know, he or anymore. And he gets about a
month ago or soil though, and then he got injured again.
But now he's starting to Is it just confidence, had
a confidence one more get more reps.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well, I just think a little bit of confidence. Keith
certainly a lot of opportunity, but he played confident. I
think the only little bad stretch he had for us
all year was was during the fighting through the ankle,
and he just wasn't just wasn't nearly himself, but he
still kept trying to tape it up and get out there.
(06:54):
So again, I think it's confidence levels at a really
great place. I think he really tries to do the
right thing and make the right plays. Uh you know again,
eighteen shots, I think it says there and they were
all good, you know, they were all like they weren't
they weren't tenderble pound it, pound it, you know, they
were they were the right play in the offense. And
(07:16):
and and again HiT's a hits a good percentage of them.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I would you describe as currency because you had a
plan right now, I.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Mean who we know that, you know who they are,
you know, But at the same.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Time, think it seems like they's fighting.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, yeah, so so, I mean, listen, I think I
think probably the biggest thing Keith is just kind of
like across the board, Like tonight it was a it
was a prime example, but it happens a lot of nights.
There's there's a there's a little bit for first of all,
an experience probably in balance to start with, but the
(07:51):
but the size factors, you know, each night, just to
cross all the positions, you know, you know, kind of
makes things tough. You have to adjust a little bit
how things are are are happening out there. But I
think again, you're right, they've played some really great basketball.
I think they've played really hard even when they've had
tough moments like tonight, it didn't start that great and
and we got down, you know, they clawed it back,
(08:12):
and then they got down again and clawed it back,
and they were continuing to fight and trying to get
that thing down inside ten to see, you know, what
would happen. So you know, we're playing a lot of
different defenses, We're doing everything we can to try to
keep them fighting, and they are. And I give them
a heck of a lot of credit for that because
for them for doing that, because it's not Easy said
(08:33):
with ye yep, with I don't know. I'm gonna have
to check. He's swelling in his knee. He's had a
little bit of it here lately, played through the last
few games with a little bit. Obviously got worse tonight,
so they we had to pull him out. So we're
(08:53):
gonna have to see because I mean, as you know,
this is I think this is a ten day deadline
for him, right, So it's like we gotta see what's
going on and see what happens for tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
That Sixers coach, Nick Nurse, I believe that last inquiry
and then reply was about o Shape or set who
left the game with swelling in his knee, and then
coach was talking about the fact that his ten day
contract is about up. So Mattill, we'll send it back
to you. But he definitely was addressing one of the
things that we were kind of talking about in the
(09:28):
area of Justin Edwards, and that is he takes shots
in the framework of the offense, and most of that
is catching shoot scenarios, and that seems to be a
real strong point of his game.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Right Nick Nurse. As always on our Parks Casino postgame show,
Matt Murphy, Tom McGinnis with you after a one thirty
two to one nineteen Sixers lost to the Hawks on
the road, and the ankle injury that Coach Nurse was
talking about with Edwards was right out of the All
Star break and he's really in a good rhythm right now.
It says a lot about how the season has gone
that questions and comments from the coach about Chuma and
(10:04):
Osha two ten day contract players. It is the ninth
day out of the ten day contract for oshae Brissett.
It's the seventh day for Chuma on his second separate
ten day contract with the Sixers. But it's just been
that kind of year that one of your ten day
guys in Brissett, goes out with an injury from this
game after playing fifteen minutes, and you have double digit
guys down again and tom before we discuss the second
(10:29):
half of the back to back for the Sixers as
the road trip comes to an end tomorrow, can I
ask you about the Rookie of the Year race with
Reza Shae and Castle, who you just saw in San Antonio.
I know you're impressed with Reza Shay, but it's it's
kind of.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Call on Castle. I was impressed with him too.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It's it's neck and neck. I know Jared McCain would
have had a great case had he stayed healthy for
the Sixers. But now we saw in the last two
games that the two front runners go against each other
and Reza sche had twenty two the last time he
played against the six.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
You know what I think is interesting too. And the
NBA does a terrific job of marketing the players are
going to be in the draft, as we all know
in the summer, and it's you know, it's with there's
a rationale there, right, I mean, you're building up these
young players to be introduced to NBA fans worldwide. But
there's also that's a that's a part of the NBA calendar,
and that is you know, leading up to the draft.
(11:20):
But you know, in the end, these players delivered because
they're so super talented, you know, like you know a
little bit Castle obviously with this time last year, you're
watching the games and you're like, oh, he's a good
player for the Connecticut But as I said, like Resa Schey,
I didn't know a lot about Zachary Resa che and
you know, like Jared McCain, was a good player at Duke,
(11:40):
but you didn't realize how good he could be in
the NBA. I think he startled even the Sixers. So
to your point though, like I don't know, like I
used to vote on these types of things.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Right, and again they well I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, like the yeah, the media, well wait when I
first started, they they entrusted me with. Seriously, there was
there wasn't an award per se, but best interview that
I mean like that as I moved along, I got
to vote for MVP. But no, whenever these things became
triggers for contracts, like remember when you now, if a
(12:14):
player gets first team All NBA, that can push his
contract numbers to greater heights. Right, So it wouldn't it
wouldn't I mean obviously if a team broadcaster would vote
on my own player, right, so I can remember. And
Tim frank didn't have to do it, but he's the
head of the public relations department for the NBA, and
he was nice enough to call like, hey, you're not
(12:34):
going to get the vote anymore and here's why, and
you're like okay, And then frankly like there were some
categories I'm going to have to go to. Like for me,
it was like Sports Illustrated to figure out who were
the top candidates and that would inform you know, I did,
I'd seen all the point. But then when you realize, oh,
so and so is this, you know, in terms of
whatever would be defensive Player of the year. So you know,
(12:55):
if I had to vote, I wouldn't. It would probably
be between those two players, and Jared would have definitely
had my vote. There you go, there's the bias. But
Castle's really really good, like he he stood out in
some areas. But Reesa Shay is smooth man, He's he's
going to be really good. I mean, it's again, this league,
the talent around the world is just amazing. And that's
(13:18):
even though this is a tough season the Sixers, you know,
with everything that's going on with the injuries and where
the season is at this stage, to watch this talent
is I never take it for granted because these players
are clearly the best players in the world, and we're
watching the international players in terms of Resa Schet and
some of these young players just you know, really excel
(13:41):
and it's a it's a treat honestly.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
And then Zach's going to be coming up on that
French national team in the coming years as well, so
often scoring matters in award races, including Rookie of the Year.
So he's on a better team than Castle right now.
So he's averaging came in averaging just under twelve whereas
Castle's at fourteen points per game.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
So we'll see that hold out. We got to get
to the celebrity side. How do we get off the
air without talking about I saw Jay right at the
hotel yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I know well because.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, the studio for the March Madness covered. Did he
look tired? I feel like every time he turned on
the TV was on there?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
No, he was. I didn't see him in the but
some of the guy TJ saw. He told me to
say hi to Reggie and Kyle, that's for sure, and
I did, and Kyle was gonna try to meet up
with him today. But right, so, some of the CBS
crew does it from New York and then some are
here at the TBS studios, which are right across the
Highway from the hotel. And not only that, but the
Warriors were at the same hotel. I mean they played
(14:39):
here last night before moving on to Miami and saw
Steve Kerrout taking a walk yesterday, and that was kind
of neat to be around the Warriors, even though Steph
was in here, didn't didn't really brush shoulders with a
lot of the players. But like I said, right before
the game, I was able to see Stackhouse, who was
on the sixers, you know, my first season, his rookie year,
so kind of needed. And in fact, that's what Jay
(15:00):
was saying. He was like, does this happen a lot
in the NBA, And it happens a little bit more
with teams playing back to backs, whereas two teams will
be in the hotel at the same time. It almost
never happened in years past, But I think with some
of the way the schedules condensed and again teams, there's
a little bit more of a proclivity for teams to
play back to back home games, and it does set
(15:21):
that up. But I've always been a huge fan of
the former Villanova coach, who seems to be doing quite
well in.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The world of proast. The hotel sightings from Tom McGuinness
are always a treat. Just a quick thought on New Orleans,
who has a nineteen and fifty three record. That's who
the Sixers will play tomorrow. They lost to Detroit today
one thirty six, one thirty even without Cunningham playing for
the Pistons. I mean, the Pelicans have a boatload of injuries.
(15:48):
Zion was back and playing well, but he's only played
thirty games on the season and he didn't play today,
so we'll see about his status. Forty points for CJ. McCollum.
How about this, New Orleans made twenty threes, twenty out
of forty and lost.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Right, no doubt, Yeah, no, it'll be interesting. I would
think they would be in a conversation, a collection if
you're going to talk about teams that had big expectations
and then didn't deliver, and you would have to consider
the Sixers where the Sixers are currently in that conversation,
I think New Orleans would be in there as well,
because right, I think with Zion Williamson and to Brandon
(16:24):
Ingram right when they started the season. But no McCollums
handed to the Sixers before he can.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Fill it up.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So again, you just want to finish the trip off
as positively as possible. And again it looks like the
Sixers are going to be you know, severely undermanned, particularly
in the wake of this news about Brissett. But you
want to go down there and try to finish it
off and see if you can't bookend the trip with
wins to start the one in Dallas, and then if
they could get this game tomorrow night against the Pells,
(16:53):
and you know a little bit thankfully now New Orleans
will beat them back, but that the Sixers, you know,
this was a six o'clock game, and they'll get out
of here at a reasonable hour. They're flying into Central
time zone again, so a little bit beneficial there, but
again at the end of a ten day trip, never
easy play night number two of us back to back
in the sixth game in the span of ten days.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
The old Atlanta, New Orleans back to back to end
this six game, ten day road trip. Tom McGinnis, thank
you so much, all right, Murphy, goodnight. The final score
in Atlanta the Hawks one thirty two, the Sixers one
to nineteen. We have more to come on our Parks
Casino postgame show. Couple of segments, including the audio highlights
of the plays as called by Tom, as well as
(17:36):
a look at the box score and a selection for
our stat of the game will go through the game
high leaders across the board in this one as well,
but we'll take a quick break. The Sixers fall to
the Hawks, they will get a chance to play them
for a third time in four weeks before the end
of the season. But the Hawks have claimed the season
(17:59):
series with tonight's thirteen point victory. We'll be right back.
This is the Sixers Postgame Show presented by Parks Casino.
All right, we continue on with the Sixers Parks Casino
post game Show. Matt Murphy back with you. It's with
the Hawks having won two in a row and seven
of ten coming in. Let's jump into how it sounded
(18:21):
as called by Tom McGinnis. Sixers Hawks in Atlanta, with
ten Sixers listed on the injury report, including Lonnie Walker
the fourth again because of that concussion. Nick Nurse said
pregame that Walker will not play tomorrow either, when the
Sixers end their six game road trip in New Orleans.
And then they added Jalen Hoods Chaffino as an inactive
(18:43):
They're kind of monitoring the days that Jeff Dalton Junior
can be on the active roster down the stretch. It's
it's not days anymore, it's fifty games active, so Dalton
was in there and starting as part of the forty
seventh different Sixers starting lineup of the season in Game
seventy one. The NBA record for most different starting lineups
(19:07):
in one season is fifty one, so Sixers at forty seven.
Now it was Memphis last year with fifty one. It
was Dalton, Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, Juma Okk and Gershaanyabusele
against the Hawks and Trey Young, who was in there
second night of a back to back for Atlanta after
beating the Warriors. Notable because Young didn't play in the
matchup against the Sixers two weeks ago, so their first
(19:29):
meeting with Trey this season here on March twenty third,
and in the first quarter, Trey with a deep pull
up three early to end an eight to two Sixers
run the.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yabu Sele five in a row, Young from deep, Its
from the airport area, and it's in just beyond the
logo Trey.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Young ten to eight Atlanta, and Young had ten points
at the line tonight out of his twenty eight, which
led all scorers in the game, ten for eleven at
the free throw line. He only had seven points in
the first half, so he did the bulk of his
scoring outside of that bucket and a couple others, a
couple other points. Ten to eight for Young and the
(20:10):
Hawks on a city edition night, so their uniforms tonight
were light blue and white and the Sixers were in red.
Atlanta had a thirty five twenty four lead after the
first quarter. Young also had a game high twelve assists
in this one. He is the NBA's assist leader at
eleven point four assists per game, and in the first
(20:33):
he set a new career high for assists in a season.
It's now seven hundred and forty Well, that was at
seven hundred and forty two on the season, and he
added to that total nineteen of his twenty or twenty
one of his twenty eight points after halftime and the
Hawks up eleven after the first quarter despite eight points
(20:53):
in the first four Justin Edwards who will hear from
here in the second but before that, Hawk's third year
reserve big man Dominic Barlow, formerly of the San Antonio Spurs.
He had active minutes earlier early in the game, including
on the offensive glass, and he gets it to go
through contact tet a.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Left corner Crazeen three point shotting feet, can't get it
to go. Barlow though over the crowd with a rebound
put back good in a foul on Alex Reez. He
looks really good. Six nine two.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Twenty Dominic Barlow, who began his prep career locally at
Saint Chose Prep before Dumont High School in New Jersey.
His and one made it a forty two to twenty
nine Atlanta Hawk's lead, and he ended this game with
a double double off the bench thirteen points and ten
rebounds in nineteen minutes. He was four for four from
(21:44):
the field, made his only three point attempt, and made
all four of his free throws. How about an add
one in the second quarter for Justin Edwards of the Sixers.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Brime's with it. They swing it to the fireside, Justin
Edwards off the dribble over the lane, stops leaning it good.
Justin Edwards left hand player. They set him up on
the right perimeters so when he drives, he's going into
the middle with his dominant hand, and he pulls up
and as he shoots for what could be a three
point play.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
He did convert the three point play. Hawks fifty three
six Ers forty. Though Edwards led all scores at halftime
with fifteen, he ended the game three points shy of
that rookie career high twenty five. He had twenty two
on eight of eighteen, shooting three for six from three
and three for five at the line. He added three rebounds,
three assists, two blocks to his twenty two points in
(22:34):
thirty nine minutes. As a Sixers starter, he's averaging eighteen
points per game. That was before this twenty two points
eighteen on this road trip, which is this is game five.
This was game five of it for the Sixers, who
then trailed sixty four p fifty two to the Hawks
at halftime. Because Atlanta shot fifty seven percent to the
(22:57):
Sixers forty two percent in the first half. The third
quarter was controlled by the Atlanta Hawks, and in particular
Number one overall pick from France Zachary Reza Sche, who
had six points in the first half but sixteen in
(23:19):
the third quarter.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
He has it, but Yabu Selee tipped it away, but
Resa Sche gets the back. He drives into the lane,
step through, move, left hand scoop up and good. He's
really really good at switching hands. Ampendector of Simbelane Reza
sche with another basket. He's got nineteen.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
It ended up being another twenty two point game against
the Sixers for the top pick. It was eighty one
sixty Atlanta at that point and that was an eleven
to nothing scoring run for the home team earlier in
the quarter. Atlanta's Dice and Daniels, who is the NBA
(23:59):
steals leader by a big margin. He came into this
game needing three more steals for two hundred on the season,
and he got that and more. He had five in
the game. He's the first NBA player with a two
hundred steel season since Chris Paul during the two thousand
and eight two thousand and nine seasons. So is he
(24:20):
close to an NBA record or anything like that. He's
the third player with two hundred plus in the last
two decades, but the record is a long ways off.
It's three hundred and one steals for Alvin Robertson of
the Spurs during the nineteen eighty five eighty six season.
The Hawks with Daniels and Reza se and Trey Young
(24:41):
George Niang had a big game. They outscored the Sixers
in the third quarter forty one thirty for a one
zho five eighty two lead through three. Now the Sixers
would get within twelve after a nineteen to four run
from the early to the mid part at the fourth quarter.
But former Sixers George Niang had a big weekend, not
just tonight, including last night's game. From three, he made
(25:03):
his fifth three of the game when the Sixers had
it at twelve. He had six yesterday against Golden State.
Soon after, though, Quentin Grimes at three to cut it
to eleven.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Up top the Grimes at the horn, no Goods and
Yabu Slee with the rebound back to Grimes corner threes.
That's goose. Sixers really battled that possession extremely well defended
by Atlanta, but in the end Grimes gets a second
chance three makes it from the corner. Now ten threes.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
One nineteen one oh eight Hawks. As the Sixers and
Grimes cut in, the Sixers ended up making eleven threes.
As a team, Grimes he had twenty six points, a
team high. Niang, who I just talked about, had twenty
off the Atlanta bench. Grimes is three for ten from three,
seven for eighteen from the field, made nine out of
(25:54):
his eleven free throws to reach twenty six points, but
from one nineteen one oh eight, the Hawks did close
things out for a final of one thirty two one nineteen,
despite being outscored in the fourth by the Sixers thirty
seven twenty seven. The Sixers are now twenty three and
forty eight. The Hawks are thirty five and thirty six.
(26:19):
The leading scorer in this one thirty two one nineteen
Hawks win over the Sixers was Trey Young of Atlanta
twenty eight points. He also was the leading assist man
with twelve. Quinton Grimes led the Sixers in scoring with
twenty six He also had five rebounds, six assists, and
one steal. Dyson Daniels had five steals for Atlanta. Grimes
(26:46):
is streak unless there is a stat correct his streak
of seven consecutive games with twenty five plus points and
multiple steals is over. It was tied with Alan Iverson
for the second longest streak in franchise history. Iverson that
particular one for him was the first eleven days of
(27:08):
March in two thousand and five. He does have the
franchise record as a twelve game streak with at least
twenty five points and multiple steals. Grimes got the points
he ended up getting twenty six, but he's only credited
with one steal on the box score as we speak.
Dominic Barlow was the leading rebounder in the game with
(27:30):
ten off the Hawks bench. The Sixers top rebounder was
Chuma okk with eight. He started eight rebounds eight points
in thirty five minutes while on his seventh day of
his ten day contract with Philadelphia. The stat of the game,
we said we were going to monitor points in the
(27:54):
paint because of the margin in the first meeting seventy
six forty six Atlanta on March tenth, a game that
they also scored one hundred and thirty two points in
one thirty two, one twenty three. We're not going to
select that as the stat of the game because it
ended up being fifty eight forty six tonight, so the
same number for the Sixers, but significantly fewer eighteen points
(28:18):
in the paint, fewer four Atlanta who made seventeen threes. Instead,
we're going to choose just their shooting success overall seventeen
to thirty seven from three, which is forty six percent
fifty five percent from the field, forty eight out of
eighty seven shots. The Sixers took four more shots but
(28:43):
only made forty four percent, and they they went eleven
for thirty four from three, which is thirty two point
four percent. And they took thirty seven free throws Philadelphia
compared to twenty two attempts for Atlanta. The Sixers missed
nine of their thirty seven free throws. Atlanta only missed
three out of twenty two. Standings wise as Detroit one
(29:11):
again today, they are ahead of Atlanta in the standings
and only the top six are guaranteed playoff spots. Like
the Sixers last year playing Miami to earn the seven seed,
that's what Atlanta is facing, behind Detroit by a handful
of games, Detroit's forty and thirty two, Atlanta's thirty five
(29:33):
and thirty six. Now then Orlando, Chicago, Miami has fallen
behind Chicago in the tenth and final play in spot
in the Eastern Conference. Toronto is in eleventh at twenty
four and forty seven, Brooklyn is twenty three and four
forty eight. They've gone back into twelve ahead of the Sixers,
who are also twenty three and forty eight because despite
(29:57):
tying the season series two to two, it goes to
record against divisional opponents, which gives Brooklyn the tiebreaker there.
Big game in the NBA tonight is Oklahoma City visiting
the LA Clippers at ten Eastern or nine Eastern on
(30:17):
this Sunday, and both of those teams have won five
in a row. The Clippers have won eight of nine,
the thunder have clinched the number one seed in the West,
and the Sixers opponent tomorrow. The Pelicans lost to those
Detroit Pistons one thirty six to one thirty earlier today
to tip off this eight game slate. Despite making twenty
(30:38):
of their forty three point attempts and getting forty points
from CJ McCollum, it was the Pistons without Cad Cunningham
by six that will be it for tonight's seventy six
Ers postgame show presented by Parks Casino. Again the final
score the Atlanta Hawks one thirty two the Philadelphia seventy
six Ers one to nineteen. Thank you to our producers
(30:58):
Matt Man, Arex, Sean Rodman and Mike Morano, and of
course Tom McGinnis on the call. That next Sixers game
tomorrow is another eight pm Eastern road start. So tonight
was a six o'clock local start, but it's back to
an eight pm game like earlier in the week on
the road, this time against the Pelicans in New Orleans.

seventy six Ers Postgame Show right now on ninety seven
to five the fanatic.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
So it is a thirteen point loss for the Sixers
Tonight in Atlanta one thirty two to one nineteen. Welcome
to the Parks Casino postgame show, Matt Murphy will hear
from Tom McGinnis and Nick Nurse. Twenty eight points and
twelve assists for Trey Young to lead the home Hawks
over the Sixers. Five games completed for the Sixers on
(02:19):
this six game road trip. They will be in a
back to back situation at New Orleans tomorrow night at
eight Eastern. They have lost the season series to Atlanta
to nothing right now with a third game to play,
the second to last game of the season in Philadelphia
April eleventh, the only trip to Philly for the Hawks,
(02:41):
one thirty two, one nineteen the final the Sixers are
twenty three and forty eight. The Hawks are one game
under five hundred thirty five and thirty six as they're
in the play in picture, leading the play in in
the East right now, the seed seven through ten and
Detroit has a nice cushion for the sixth and final
spot that's guaranteed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Quintin Grimes
(03:05):
led the Sixers with twenty six points. Justin Edwards continued
his strong road trip with twenty two. Jeff Dalton Junior
ended up getting seventeen in his second career NBA start.
The Hawks have won three straight and eight of their
last eleven. As we await Nick Nurse, let's see if
we can check in with Tom McGuinness postgame here and
(03:27):
get his general takeaways from this fifth game of the
road trip.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
To start, well, I thought they were quite methodical Atlanta.
I mean, when you're playing well and like they played
last night, and you think that would be to their detriment,
but it's almost like they you know, they gained confidence
and picked up where they left off last night. And
Trey Young was just he was in a right I mean,
I thought, yeah, obviously he felt that he hit some
(03:53):
deep threes, he was off dribble penetration. He kind of
gets to wherever he wants. He found his guys, and
then they've got some young talented players and the likes
of Daniels and Resa Say. I thought Mohammed Gay had
some good moments for them, so did the Sixers. But
after the very beginning of the game, it felt like
the Sixers were playing catch up all game one, would
(04:14):
you agree?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I would, And the largest lead was twenty seven And
it wasn't a big first half for Young only seven
of his twenty eight in the first half, But as
you said, he really picked it up from there. I'll
ask about Reza Shae in a second, but a Sixers
young player in Edwards. He came into this one averaging
eighteen points per game on this road trip, and he
got twenty two tonight. What have you seen working for
(04:38):
Justin Well.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
You know, Matt, like I do. We learn a lot
from coach when you hear him. And by the ways
walking to the podium as we speak, and I'll halt
here in a moment, but one of the things he
talks about with Edwards he makes the right play, he
gets off the ball in other wards, he passes it
when nothing's there. And even his shots, he takes shots
in rhythm. You know what I mean. He's he's one
(05:00):
of these guys. He just has a knack. He's adjusted
really well to the to the NBA game. And I've
noticed that once I heard Coach talk about that, I'd
been able to pick it up. So Nick Nurse is
at the podium. Sounds like he's about to address the media.
Nobody's posed a question as of yet. He's looking at
a box score, and here's the Sixers head coach athletic team.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Think. Think it certainly bothered us and some of our finishing.
I thought we I think we missed like five what
I would consider layups in the first half and it's
still at twelve point game. Offensive rebounding hurt us a
little bit too. I mean, I know we got more
than they did, but they had some big ones that
were that were good stops. Offensive rebound kickout for three.
(05:44):
And then again I thought, I thought both Justin and
Schuma had had really good games. Shuma just fighting on
the glass. Justin was was solid. Didn't get quite as
high a percentage to go in tonight as he has been,
but still pretty good, three or six from three, a
couple of transition ones, uh, some good drives to the basket,
(06:05):
you know, played played pretty solid. Took his crack at
at Trey. You know, a couple bunch of guys you know,
going going at him, and Justin took his time at
him too, did a decent job. Yeah that's about it
about there.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You know, he or anymore. And he gets about a
month ago or soil though, and then he got injured again.
But now he's starting to Is it just confidence, had
a confidence one more get more reps.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well, I just think a little bit of confidence. Keith
certainly a lot of opportunity, but he played confident. I
think the only little bad stretch he had for us
all year was was during the fighting through the ankle,
and he just wasn't just wasn't nearly himself, but he
still kept trying to tape it up and get out there.
(06:54):
So again, I think it's confidence levels at a really
great place. I think he really tries to do the
right thing and make the right plays. Uh you know again,
eighteen shots, I think it says there and they were
all good, you know, they were all like they weren't
they weren't tenderble pound it, pound it, you know, they
were they were the right play in the offense. And
(07:16):
and and again HiT's a hits a good percentage of them.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I would you describe as currency because you had a
plan right now, I.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Mean who we know that, you know who they are,
you know, But at the same.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Time, think it seems like they's fighting.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, yeah, so so, I mean, listen, I think I
think probably the biggest thing Keith is just kind of
like across the board, Like tonight it was a it
was a prime example, but it happens a lot of nights.
There's there's a there's a little bit for first of all,
an experience probably in balance to start with, but the
(07:51):
but the size factors, you know, each night, just to
cross all the positions, you know, you know, kind of
makes things tough. You have to adjust a little bit
how things are are are happening out there. But I
think again, you're right, they've played some really great basketball.
I think they've played really hard even when they've had
tough moments like tonight, it didn't start that great and
and we got down, you know, they clawed it back,
(08:12):
and then they got down again and clawed it back,
and they were continuing to fight and trying to get
that thing down inside ten to see, you know, what
would happen. So you know, we're playing a lot of
different defenses, We're doing everything we can to try to
keep them fighting, and they are. And I give them
a heck of a lot of credit for that because
for them for doing that, because it's not Easy said
(08:33):
with ye yep, with I don't know. I'm gonna have
to check. He's swelling in his knee. He's had a
little bit of it here lately, played through the last
few games with a little bit. Obviously got worse tonight,
so they we had to pull him out. So we're
(08:53):
gonna have to see because I mean, as you know,
this is I think this is a ten day deadline
for him, right, So it's like we gotta see what's
going on and see what happens for tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
That Sixers coach, Nick Nurse, I believe that last inquiry
and then reply was about o Shape or set who
left the game with swelling in his knee, and then
coach was talking about the fact that his ten day
contract is about up. So Mattill, we'll send it back
to you. But he definitely was addressing one of the
things that we were kind of talking about in the
(09:28):
area of Justin Edwards, and that is he takes shots
in the framework of the offense, and most of that
is catching shoot scenarios, and that seems to be a
real strong point of his game.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Right Nick Nurse. As always on our Parks Casino postgame show,
Matt Murphy, Tom McGinnis with you after a one thirty
two to one nineteen Sixers lost to the Hawks on
the road, and the ankle injury that Coach Nurse was
talking about with Edwards was right out of the All
Star break and he's really in a good rhythm right now.
It says a lot about how the season has gone
that questions and comments from the coach about Chuma and
(10:04):
Osha two ten day contract players. It is the ninth
day out of the ten day contract for oshae Brissett.
It's the seventh day for Chuma on his second separate
ten day contract with the Sixers. But it's just been
that kind of year that one of your ten day
guys in Brissett, goes out with an injury from this
game after playing fifteen minutes, and you have double digit
guys down again and tom before we discuss the second
(10:29):
half of the back to back for the Sixers as
the road trip comes to an end tomorrow, can I
ask you about the Rookie of the Year race with
Reza Shae and Castle, who you just saw in San Antonio.
I know you're impressed with Reza Shay, but it's it's
kind of.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Call on Castle. I was impressed with him too.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It's it's neck and neck. I know Jared McCain would
have had a great case had he stayed healthy for
the Sixers. But now we saw in the last two
games that the two front runners go against each other
and Reza sche had twenty two the last time he
played against the six.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
You know what I think is interesting too. And the
NBA does a terrific job of marketing the players are
going to be in the draft, as we all know
in the summer, and it's you know, it's with there's
a rationale there, right, I mean, you're building up these
young players to be introduced to NBA fans worldwide. But
there's also that's a that's a part of the NBA calendar,
and that is you know, leading up to the draft.
(11:20):
But you know, in the end, these players delivered because
they're so super talented, you know, like you know a
little bit Castle obviously with this time last year, you're
watching the games and you're like, oh, he's a good
player for the Connecticut But as I said, like Resa Schey,
I didn't know a lot about Zachary Resa che and
you know, like Jared McCain, was a good player at Duke,
(11:40):
but you didn't realize how good he could be in
the NBA. I think he startled even the Sixers. So
to your point though, like I don't know, like I
used to vote on these types of things.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Right, and again they well I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, like the yeah, the media, well wait when I
first started, they they entrusted me with. Seriously, there was
there wasn't an award per se, but best interview that
I mean like that as I moved along, I got
to vote for MVP. But no, whenever these things became
triggers for contracts, like remember when you now, if a
(12:14):
player gets first team All NBA, that can push his
contract numbers to greater heights. Right, So it wouldn't it
wouldn't I mean obviously if a team broadcaster would vote
on my own player, right, so I can remember. And
Tim frank didn't have to do it, but he's the
head of the public relations department for the NBA, and
he was nice enough to call like, hey, you're not
(12:34):
going to get the vote anymore and here's why, and
you're like okay, And then frankly like there were some
categories I'm going to have to go to. Like for me,
it was like Sports Illustrated to figure out who were
the top candidates and that would inform you know, I did,
I'd seen all the point. But then when you realize, oh,
so and so is this, you know, in terms of
whatever would be defensive Player of the year. So you know,
(12:55):
if I had to vote, I wouldn't. It would probably
be between those two players, and Jared would have definitely
had my vote. There you go, there's the bias. But
Castle's really really good, like he he stood out in
some areas. But Reesa Shay is smooth man, He's he's
going to be really good. I mean, it's again, this league,
the talent around the world is just amazing. And that's
(13:18):
even though this is a tough season the Sixers, you know,
with everything that's going on with the injuries and where
the season is at this stage, to watch this talent
is I never take it for granted because these players
are clearly the best players in the world, and we're
watching the international players in terms of Resa Schet and
some of these young players just you know, really excel
(13:41):
and it's a it's a treat honestly.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
And then Zach's going to be coming up on that
French national team in the coming years as well, so
often scoring matters in award races, including Rookie of the Year.
So he's on a better team than Castle right now.
So he's averaging came in averaging just under twelve whereas
Castle's at fourteen points per game.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
So we'll see that hold out. We got to get
to the celebrity side. How do we get off the
air without talking about I saw Jay right at the
hotel yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I know well because.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, the studio for the March Madness covered. Did he
look tired? I feel like every time he turned on
the TV was on there?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
No, he was. I didn't see him in the but
some of the guy TJ saw. He told me to
say hi to Reggie and Kyle, that's for sure, and
I did, and Kyle was gonna try to meet up
with him today. But right, so, some of the CBS
crew does it from New York and then some are
here at the TBS studios, which are right across the
Highway from the hotel. And not only that, but the
Warriors were at the same hotel. I mean they played
(14:39):
here last night before moving on to Miami and saw
Steve Kerrout taking a walk yesterday, and that was kind
of neat to be around the Warriors, even though Steph
was in here, didn't didn't really brush shoulders with a
lot of the players. But like I said, right before
the game, I was able to see Stackhouse, who was
on the sixers, you know, my first season, his rookie year,
so kind of needed. And in fact, that's what Jay
(15:00):
was saying. He was like, does this happen a lot
in the NBA, And it happens a little bit more
with teams playing back to backs, whereas two teams will
be in the hotel at the same time. It almost
never happened in years past, But I think with some
of the way the schedules condensed and again teams, there's
a little bit more of a proclivity for teams to
play back to back home games, and it does set
(15:21):
that up. But I've always been a huge fan of
the former Villanova coach, who seems to be doing quite
well in.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The world of proast. The hotel sightings from Tom McGuinness
are always a treat. Just a quick thought on New Orleans,
who has a nineteen and fifty three record. That's who
the Sixers will play tomorrow. They lost to Detroit today
one thirty six, one thirty even without Cunningham playing for
the Pistons. I mean, the Pelicans have a boatload of injuries.
(15:48):
Zion was back and playing well, but he's only played
thirty games on the season and he didn't play today,
so we'll see about his status. Forty points for CJ. McCollum.
How about this, New Orleans made twenty threes, twenty out
of forty and lost.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Right, no doubt, Yeah, no, it'll be interesting. I would
think they would be in a conversation, a collection if
you're going to talk about teams that had big expectations
and then didn't deliver, and you would have to consider
the Sixers where the Sixers are currently in that conversation,
I think New Orleans would be in there as well,
because right, I think with Zion Williamson and to Brandon
(16:24):
Ingram right when they started the season. But no McCollums
handed to the Sixers before he can.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Fill it up.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So again, you just want to finish the trip off
as positively as possible. And again it looks like the
Sixers are going to be you know, severely undermanned, particularly
in the wake of this news about Brissett. But you
want to go down there and try to finish it
off and see if you can't bookend the trip with
wins to start the one in Dallas, and then if
they could get this game tomorrow night against the Pells,
(16:53):
and you know a little bit thankfully now New Orleans
will beat them back, but that the Sixers, you know,
this was a six o'clock game, and they'll get out
of here at a reasonable hour. They're flying into Central
time zone again, so a little bit beneficial there, but
again at the end of a ten day trip, never
easy play night number two of us back to back
in the sixth game in the span of ten days.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
The old Atlanta, New Orleans back to back to end
this six game, ten day road trip. Tom McGinnis, thank
you so much, all right, Murphy, goodnight. The final score
in Atlanta the Hawks one thirty two, the Sixers one
to nineteen. We have more to come on our Parks
Casino postgame show. Couple of segments, including the audio highlights
of the plays as called by Tom, as well as
(17:36):
a look at the box score and a selection for
our stat of the game will go through the game
high leaders across the board in this one as well,
but we'll take a quick break. The Sixers fall to
the Hawks, they will get a chance to play them
for a third time in four weeks before the end
of the season. But the Hawks have claimed the season
(17:59):
series with tonight's thirteen point victory. We'll be right back.
This is the Sixers Postgame Show presented by Parks Casino.
All right, we continue on with the Sixers Parks Casino
post game Show. Matt Murphy back with you. It's with
the Hawks having won two in a row and seven
of ten coming in. Let's jump into how it sounded
(18:21):
as called by Tom McGinnis. Sixers Hawks in Atlanta, with
ten Sixers listed on the injury report, including Lonnie Walker
the fourth again because of that concussion. Nick Nurse said
pregame that Walker will not play tomorrow either, when the
Sixers end their six game road trip in New Orleans.
And then they added Jalen Hoods Chaffino as an inactive
(18:43):
They're kind of monitoring the days that Jeff Dalton Junior
can be on the active roster down the stretch. It's
it's not days anymore, it's fifty games active, so Dalton
was in there and starting as part of the forty
seventh different Sixers starting lineup of the season in Game
seventy one. The NBA record for most different starting lineups
(19:07):
in one season is fifty one, so Sixers at forty seven.
Now it was Memphis last year with fifty one. It
was Dalton, Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, Juma Okk and Gershaanyabusele
against the Hawks and Trey Young, who was in there
second night of a back to back for Atlanta after
beating the Warriors. Notable because Young didn't play in the
matchup against the Sixers two weeks ago, so their first
(19:29):
meeting with Trey this season here on March twenty third,
and in the first quarter, Trey with a deep pull
up three early to end an eight to two Sixers
run the.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yabu Sele five in a row, Young from deep, Its
from the airport area, and it's in just beyond the
logo Trey.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Young ten to eight Atlanta, and Young had ten points
at the line tonight out of his twenty eight, which
led all scorers in the game, ten for eleven at
the free throw line. He only had seven points in
the first half, so he did the bulk of his
scoring outside of that bucket and a couple others, a
couple other points. Ten to eight for Young and the
(20:10):
Hawks on a city edition night, so their uniforms tonight
were light blue and white and the Sixers were in red.
Atlanta had a thirty five twenty four lead after the
first quarter. Young also had a game high twelve assists
in this one. He is the NBA's assist leader at
eleven point four assists per game, and in the first
(20:33):
he set a new career high for assists in a season.
It's now seven hundred and forty Well, that was at
seven hundred and forty two on the season, and he
added to that total nineteen of his twenty or twenty
one of his twenty eight points after halftime and the
Hawks up eleven after the first quarter despite eight points
(20:53):
in the first four Justin Edwards who will hear from
here in the second but before that, Hawk's third year
reserve big man Dominic Barlow, formerly of the San Antonio Spurs.
He had active minutes earlier early in the game, including
on the offensive glass, and he gets it to go
through contact tet a.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Left corner Crazeen three point shotting feet, can't get it
to go. Barlow though over the crowd with a rebound
put back good in a foul on Alex Reez. He
looks really good. Six nine two.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Twenty Dominic Barlow, who began his prep career locally at
Saint Chose Prep before Dumont High School in New Jersey.
His and one made it a forty two to twenty
nine Atlanta Hawk's lead, and he ended this game with
a double double off the bench thirteen points and ten
rebounds in nineteen minutes. He was four for four from
(21:44):
the field, made his only three point attempt, and made
all four of his free throws. How about an add
one in the second quarter for Justin Edwards of the Sixers.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Brime's with it. They swing it to the fireside, Justin
Edwards off the dribble over the lane, stops leaning it good.
Justin Edwards left hand player. They set him up on
the right perimeters so when he drives, he's going into
the middle with his dominant hand, and he pulls up
and as he shoots for what could be a three
point play.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
He did convert the three point play. Hawks fifty three
six Ers forty. Though Edwards led all scores at halftime
with fifteen, he ended the game three points shy of
that rookie career high twenty five. He had twenty two
on eight of eighteen, shooting three for six from three
and three for five at the line. He added three rebounds,
three assists, two blocks to his twenty two points in
(22:34):
thirty nine minutes. As a Sixers starter, he's averaging eighteen
points per game. That was before this twenty two points
eighteen on this road trip, which is this is game five.
This was game five of it for the Sixers, who
then trailed sixty four p fifty two to the Hawks
at halftime. Because Atlanta shot fifty seven percent to the
(22:57):
Sixers forty two percent in the first half. The third
quarter was controlled by the Atlanta Hawks, and in particular
Number one overall pick from France Zachary Reza Sche, who
had six points in the first half but sixteen in
(23:19):
the third quarter.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
He has it, but Yabu Selee tipped it away, but
Resa Sche gets the back. He drives into the lane,
step through, move, left hand scoop up and good. He's
really really good at switching hands. Ampendector of Simbelane Reza
sche with another basket. He's got nineteen.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
It ended up being another twenty two point game against
the Sixers for the top pick. It was eighty one
sixty Atlanta at that point and that was an eleven
to nothing scoring run for the home team earlier in
the quarter. Atlanta's Dice and Daniels, who is the NBA
(23:59):
steals leader by a big margin. He came into this
game needing three more steals for two hundred on the season,
and he got that and more. He had five in
the game. He's the first NBA player with a two
hundred steel season since Chris Paul during the two thousand
and eight two thousand and nine seasons. So is he
(24:20):
close to an NBA record or anything like that. He's
the third player with two hundred plus in the last
two decades, but the record is a long ways off.
It's three hundred and one steals for Alvin Robertson of
the Spurs during the nineteen eighty five eighty six season.
The Hawks with Daniels and Reza se and Trey Young
(24:41):
George Niang had a big game. They outscored the Sixers
in the third quarter forty one thirty for a one
zho five eighty two lead through three. Now the Sixers
would get within twelve after a nineteen to four run
from the early to the mid part at the fourth quarter.
But former Sixers George Niang had a big weekend, not
just tonight, including last night's game. From three, he made
(25:03):
his fifth three of the game when the Sixers had
it at twelve. He had six yesterday against Golden State.
Soon after, though, Quentin Grimes at three to cut it
to eleven.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Up top the Grimes at the horn, no Goods and
Yabu Slee with the rebound back to Grimes corner threes.
That's goose. Sixers really battled that possession extremely well defended
by Atlanta, but in the end Grimes gets a second
chance three makes it from the corner. Now ten threes.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
One nineteen one oh eight Hawks. As the Sixers and
Grimes cut in, the Sixers ended up making eleven threes.
As a team, Grimes he had twenty six points, a
team high. Niang, who I just talked about, had twenty
off the Atlanta bench. Grimes is three for ten from three,
seven for eighteen from the field, made nine out of
(25:54):
his eleven free throws to reach twenty six points, but
from one nineteen one oh eight, the Hawks did close
things out for a final of one thirty two one nineteen,
despite being outscored in the fourth by the Sixers thirty
seven twenty seven. The Sixers are now twenty three and
forty eight. The Hawks are thirty five and thirty six.
(26:19):
The leading scorer in this one thirty two one nineteen
Hawks win over the Sixers was Trey Young of Atlanta
twenty eight points. He also was the leading assist man
with twelve. Quinton Grimes led the Sixers in scoring with
twenty six He also had five rebounds, six assists, and
one steal. Dyson Daniels had five steals for Atlanta. Grimes
(26:46):
is streak unless there is a stat correct his streak
of seven consecutive games with twenty five plus points and
multiple steals is over. It was tied with Alan Iverson
for the second longest streak in franchise history. Iverson that
particular one for him was the first eleven days of
(27:08):
March in two thousand and five. He does have the
franchise record as a twelve game streak with at least
twenty five points and multiple steals. Grimes got the points
he ended up getting twenty six, but he's only credited
with one steal on the box score as we speak.
Dominic Barlow was the leading rebounder in the game with
(27:30):
ten off the Hawks bench. The Sixers top rebounder was
Chuma okk with eight. He started eight rebounds eight points
in thirty five minutes while on his seventh day of
his ten day contract with Philadelphia. The stat of the game,
we said we were going to monitor points in the
(27:54):
paint because of the margin in the first meeting seventy
six forty six Atlanta on March tenth, a game that
they also scored one hundred and thirty two points in
one thirty two, one twenty three. We're not going to
select that as the stat of the game because it
ended up being fifty eight forty six tonight, so the
same number for the Sixers, but significantly fewer eighteen points
(28:18):
in the paint, fewer four Atlanta who made seventeen threes. Instead,
we're going to choose just their shooting success overall seventeen
to thirty seven from three, which is forty six percent
fifty five percent from the field, forty eight out of
eighty seven shots. The Sixers took four more shots but
(28:43):
only made forty four percent, and they they went eleven
for thirty four from three, which is thirty two point
four percent. And they took thirty seven free throws Philadelphia
compared to twenty two attempts for Atlanta. The Sixers missed
nine of their thirty seven free throws. Atlanta only missed
three out of twenty two. Standings wise as Detroit one
(29:11):
again today, they are ahead of Atlanta in the standings
and only the top six are guaranteed playoff spots. Like
the Sixers last year playing Miami to earn the seven seed,
that's what Atlanta is facing, behind Detroit by a handful
of games, Detroit's forty and thirty two, Atlanta's thirty five
(29:33):
and thirty six. Now then Orlando, Chicago, Miami has fallen
behind Chicago in the tenth and final play in spot
in the Eastern Conference. Toronto is in eleventh at twenty
four and forty seven, Brooklyn is twenty three and four
forty eight. They've gone back into twelve ahead of the Sixers,
who are also twenty three and forty eight because despite
(29:57):
tying the season series two to two, it goes to
record against divisional opponents, which gives Brooklyn the tiebreaker there.
Big game in the NBA tonight is Oklahoma City visiting
the LA Clippers at ten Eastern or nine Eastern on
(30:17):
this Sunday, and both of those teams have won five
in a row. The Clippers have won eight of nine,
the thunder have clinched the number one seed in the West,
and the Sixers opponent tomorrow. The Pelicans lost to those
Detroit Pistons one thirty six to one thirty earlier today
to tip off this eight game slate. Despite making twenty
(30:38):
of their forty three point attempts and getting forty points
from CJ McCollum, it was the Pistons without Cad Cunningham
by six that will be it for tonight's seventy six
Ers postgame show presented by Parks Casino. Again the final
score the Atlanta Hawks one thirty two the Philadelphia seventy
six Ers one to nineteen. Thank you to our producers
(30:58):
Matt Man, Arex, Sean Rodman and Mike Morano, and of
course Tom McGinnis on the call. That next Sixers game
tomorrow is another eight pm Eastern road start. So tonight
was a six o'clock local start, but it's back to
an eight pm game like earlier in the week on
the road, this time against the Pelicans in New Orleans.
Our coverage here on the Sixers Radio Network, presented by
(31:19):
Jackpott City Casino, will again begin at seven point fifty Eastern.
Until then, I'm Matt Murphy saying thanks so much for listening,
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday night, and take care
