00:00You are a New York Knicks fan, boy, you are loving life this morning and Dante DiVincenzo,
00:07affectionately known on this program as Tay-Tay, is your hero.
00:11The big zero out there, knocking down triples late in the game, but let's get started on
00:16this one.
00:17Philadelphia 76ers entered into this game, Davis, roughly five and a half, six point
00:21underdogs in this one.
00:22As we were doing the show yesterday and pre-doing the games, oh no, Tyreex Maxey, not feeling
00:27well, looks like he's under the weather.
00:29And then there's Joel Embiid with a knee injury who was listed as questionable for
00:32that game.
00:33So theoretically, you might have been down your two best basketball players in game number
00:36two, but both of those basketball players did suit up last night.
00:40Joel Embiid with a knee injury, 39 minutes played.
00:43Tyreex Maxey, not feeling well, 44 minutes played.
00:47Those two guys combined for 69 points yesterday in a Sixers loss.
00:53Why?
00:54Because they folded up down the stretch up five with a free throw to go from Kyle Lowry
00:59and somehow with 30 seconds left to go in that game, Davis, they lost here.
01:03A devastating blow to the Philadelphia 76ers as the Knicks take a 2-0 series lead.
01:10Pretty devastating.
01:11I mean, if you're looking for someone to blame on the 76ers roster, don't think you can blame
01:16Embiid.
01:1734 points on 29 shots, did get to the line six times.
01:22Probably can't blame Maxey, who was one rebound shy of a triple-double while coming in, questionable.
01:28How about Tobias Harris, 10 points on 11 shots, did get nine rebounds, good for him.
01:35If I'm looking at what could Nick Nurse and the 76ers coaching staff do any differently,
01:42I mean, I think they're putting Embiid in good spots, I think Maxey's playing pretty
01:46well.
01:47I would maybe actually try and play a little bit smaller with Buddy Heald subbed in for
01:52Tobias Harris because, you know, the Knicks are not playing these giant lineups.
01:56You know, Ananobi is not someone you're really worried about scoring on you in isolation.
02:01Like I think Ananobi could get, Ananobi could post up Buddy Heald and cause you some problems,
02:06but you might be fine with OG Ananobi post-ups anyway, right?
02:11Like that's not going to be the most efficient offense for the New York Knicks.
02:15What you don't want the Knicks doing is allowing eight three-pointers for Devin Chenzo, seven
02:20three-pointers for Josh Hart, you know, Bogdanovich comes in, took six three-pointers in 12 minutes,
02:27and Buddy Heald is going to be just as capable, you know, making those defensive rotations.
02:32This is like fan fiction, I don't think there's any way Nick Nurse would actually do it, but
02:36it feels like Embiid just needs a little bit more space on offense.
02:40Mitchell Robinson are doing like a pretty stand-up job on him on defense and, you know,
02:46Embiid only 10 rebounds in this game, so they don't even have the rebounding edge, which
02:50you should have the rebounding edge against the New York Knicks if Josh Hart, Josh Hart's
02:54playing 48 minutes.
02:55I said this on the show yesterday, I don't think Hart is subbing out in this game and
02:59he didn't.
03:00I mean, 48 minutes in a playoff game when theoretically, you know, the team wants to
03:05be playing 16 more playoff games.
03:08I know Josh Hart has to be hitting the rehab the morning after a game, like that guy's
03:12got to just be dead.
