00:00and then the Sixers did a great job too so let's get to that game just a little bit uh
00:04second half
00:05the Sixers really broke away did a great job uh that was as complete a team effort I've seen
00:11Philly put out there in some time obviously Embiid's been out for most of the year George
00:15has been in and out in and out Maxie's been the glue uh Edgecombe is a rookie has been there
00:21virtually the entire season as well but to be fair down 3-1 if you'd ask anybody outside of
00:28Philly can this Sixers team win three consecutive games against this Celtics team not not taking a
00:36shot I think the answer would have been no especially with two of the three games being
00:41played in the Boston Guard now they took the first one uh defended home turf last night which was a
00:47great job by them and now you've got to win another game on the road you still got to favor
00:51the Celtics
00:52to win the series I still think they're the better team but this is the Sixers team I told people
00:57I'm not sure if you and I were together yet back in the fall I guess we uh we might
01:02have been yeah
01:02we were where my fear and I said it on this show was that if the Sixers are ever completely
01:10healthy
01:11they are a problem for everybody because Joel Embiid he's never healthy but in the few moments he is
01:20healthy he's as good a geyser as a league yeah he's a league MVP Paul George never healthy but when
01:27he
01:28is healthy it's still one of the elite players in basketball Tyrese Maxey damn near averaged 30 points
01:35a game for the Sixers this year and then you've got the rookie VG Edgecombe who's not a household name
01:40yet but has had moments this year the Sixers are a problem for everybody with the caveat that they're
01:49never healthy right all of a sudden they appear to be healthy yeah this was the whole thing and
01:54Daryl Morey and Nick Nurse a lot of guys rightfully and Nick Nurse has won a championship before he
01:58knows how to coach and a lot of people say they oh he can't coach all these things and they
02:02weren't
02:03healthy this is the thing about the Sixers I say this as a Sixers fan who picked them to to
02:08win the
02:08series it's because of this they're really really good when they play all play together they rarely to
02:14your point play together but there's no one in the league that says I want to face that team when
02:20they have all their guys usually when they're playing them they don't have all their guys but
02:24when they do they can beat you a hundred different ways and yesterday Embiid was not at his best but
02:29they just he looks old right he looks well he's all I mean I didn't kick you barely wrong yeah
02:33I mean
02:33he's all beat like it's almost you know he gets I mock him as much as anybody because he's missed
02:38as
02:38many games as he's played in his NBA career my gut is that that guy plays hurt uh with things
02:44that
02:44we probably don't even know about yeah he plays I think he's soft still but he's not soft because
02:49like every injury he's had seems to be like a real injury oh my eyeball if you if you break
02:55your
02:55my lung he's playing with multiple orbital fractures yeah he's not soft he's just bad luck he's also
03:00dirty filthy yeah he's a filthy filthy filthy filthy play did you see some of those hard fouls they
03:06were doing last night he's getting elbowed in the neck yeah no he's retaliating hold on though
03:12when he grabbed Tatum's arm last night yeah and tried to rip it out of the socket no that was
03:18Tatum who grabbed him no Tatum pulled him down you watch it again no I watched it a hundred times
03:23that was Tatum being dirty so he said just like Shaq had to do back in the day yeah sometimes
03:28you have
03:28to get there before they get you but the point is yes the Knicks would be better off facing the
03:34Celtics because of the diversity in which the Sixers play last time we played you in the playoffs
03:40we beat you I know you guys you guys cry about the inbounds play there where there were three fouls
03:45on the play and none of them were called was Paul George on that he was not there no right
03:49Tobias
03:49Harris is not the same as Paul George no he's not yet Tobias Harris so you haven't played this squad
03:54during the regular season even with guys missing they split it 2-2 in the four matchups this year
03:59the Celtics are have a very high ceiling but their floor is lower than the Sixers floor when
04:05they're bad they're worse than the Sixers I also think the Celtics like if they lose to the Sixers part
04:09of it is Al Horford's not there uh Porzingis is not right they thought it was a big guys that
04:15can
04:15also shoot from the outside they thought it was a gap year yes so they made some changes thinking
04:19next year is the year to win yeah so they adjusted but look what's the spread in that game uh
04:24this
04:25weekend seven and a half wow so you get no respect at all but it's been like you should be
04:29underdog
04:30they were six and a half point underdogs yesterday they were 11 and a half the last time yeah it's
04:34been like that every game and they keep being wrong let me give uh Tyrone uh some love here
04:38you know uh we we we predict series before they happen so that we can be held accountable whether we
04:44get it right or we get it wrong obviously I get them right most of the time and we just
04:49get tired
04:50of playing those videos but Tyrone had a pick on the Sixers Celtics series back on April 17th yeah
04:58now you can call him a homer if you want but this is what he said almost a month ago
05:04but I want
05:04Philadelphia to win I don't think you're gonna win seven I don't think you're gonna win seven you're
05:08not winning game seven in Boston yes they are you know Tyrese Maxey I'm saying it right now I already
05:12said it mark it down this is all on video yeah yeah 37 points in game seven for the victory
05:19in Boston you may want to tell us what he's gonna do the first four games because they might get
05:23swept they're not getting swept but you got it right you got a shot no I just didn't close it
05:29yet
05:29watch Maxey tomorrow after tomorrow evening he's gonna go crazy and the Sixers are facing the Knicks
05:36on Monday the schedule's already out the schedule's already out for the next round yeah I think it's uh
05:41if I have it correct I think it's Monday Wednesday uh if it's Philly uh against New York at the
05:47Garden
05:47yeah right it's the schedule and then it's May 8th and May 10th in Philly yeah the way it goes
05:52yes that's what it'd be it but the games it'll be Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday right four six
05:58eight ten right Tuesday Thursday and then the only more than one day gap would be if there's a game
06:03seven it would be game seven at Sunday at the guard yeah so it's one day off in between every
06:08game
06:08every game which is the way in my that's our playoff series that's the rhythm that's the rhythm yeah
06:12so Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday first if if Philly wins first two at the garden next two in
06:20Philly uh and I'll be there I'll be there I'm also contemplating sitting right there on the wooden
06:27Philly too oh yeah I'm considering going to one game at the garden uh-huh and then going to one
06:34game
06:34in Philadelphia man yeah you really feel comfortable going oh and two with you right there courtside and
06:39by the way if I do decide to go to Philly uh-huh and I sit on the wood with
