00:00I believe this is the best team LeBron James ever been on.
00:02You said that, yeah.
00:04And I went through a couple of the teams that he was on
00:06just to kind of give it the surface idea of what it actually looks like.
00:10Hey, there you go.
00:12But you've got a, all these guys are high lottery picks,
00:15if not the number one pick.
00:16Joel Embiid, number one pick.
00:18LeBron, the number one pick.
00:19I think Vijay Edgkin was the number three pick.
00:23Tyrese Maxey was a high lottery pick.
00:25And you had, and Jalen Brown was a lottery pick.
00:28Jalen Brown's a finals MVP and an NBA champion.
00:31Joel's a regular season MVP.
00:33Tyrese Maxey is, I think, the third team all-NBA.
00:36If not, he was an all-star.
00:38Like, there has not been an NBA team that LeBron James has walked on to
00:42better than this.
00:44And I'm telling you, I'm including that Miami Heat team on there
00:47because they had Dwayne Wade who was a champion and a finals MVP.
00:50But Jalen Brown has that.
00:52They didn't have an MVP on it.
00:55Tim, good to see you.
00:57You got everything figured out.
00:58How you doing, man?
00:59Yes.
00:59What's up, guys?
01:00Man, you guys said a lot in that first 10 minutes.
01:03I'm chomping at the bit.
01:04Oh, please.
01:05Number one.
01:05Please.
01:06Get down.
01:06It is obvious what's going on in Philly.
01:09This is a clutch sports production.
01:13They are clearly making Tyrese Maxey the man.
01:21LeBron is going to feed him.
01:22Like, I looked at the box score because, you know, I was watching the game.
01:26I was like, oh, you know, you don't really know how many points these guys
01:29have.
01:29You just think how they play together.
01:31And I'm like, Maxey is far ahead in minutes, shot attempts, points.
01:38It is obvious that the clutch machine is like Maxey is the guy.
01:44I believe, because John said a few minutes ago, Embiid was the best player.
01:50By the end of the year, it's going to be, okay, A1 is Tyrese Maxey.
01:55Now, how is Jalen Brown going to deal with that?
01:57He already had that issue in Boston.
01:59Now, he comes to this situation, and he's already A2.
02:03You know what I'm saying?
02:05That's problem number one that might strike down the road.
02:08But, Tim, didn't you say – go ahead, John.
02:10I know.
02:11Go ahead.
02:12But here's the problem.
02:15If they're going to allow clutch to pretty much maneuver the minutes on this
02:21roster, you're going to have a mutiny between Jalen Brown and Joel Embiid.
02:27You're going to fracture this locker room.
02:29And I hope that's not the situation because that's the only thing that can
02:33take this team down, injuries and locker room drama.
02:36Because if you do that, you know Jalen Brown's not going to hold his tongue
02:40about what's happening.
02:41And you know Joel Embiid, once he's got somebody on his side, he will absolutely
02:46throw a wrench in the plan.
02:48Well, Joel Embiid doesn't have a leg to stand on, as we saw tonight.
02:53He's standing on the road at this point.
02:56Yeah, absolutely.
02:57Jalen Brown would be the key to this in terms of the team chemistry thing.
03:01Yes.
03:02So, Tim, what else you got for us?
03:03You said you had a bunch of stuff.
03:05LeBron's debut, you had Jalen Brown, you had beating the Knicks at MSG.
03:11That is a big win for the Sixers.
03:14And it's a high-spirited win for Philadelphia.
03:18Because you don't want to start out with a thud.
03:21Even though it's one game, to win his game and to do it succinctly.
03:26The offense looks succinct.
03:27I thought that it looks like a LeBron team.
03:32He does what he does.
03:33But I think the big thing, going back to Embiid, the fact that he still had a decent
03:40stat line, despite him looking like a 70-year-old man, breathes great dividends for the Sixers
03:48moving forward.
03:49And I think they need to monitor his minutes this year.
03:53Sometimes, like I said, I personally think he should only play in home games and national
03:58TV games.
03:59And you sit in for the rest.
04:00You don't need him out there every night.
04:02And also, you really don't need him for a regular season because that inside game that
04:07you were talking about, John, throwing it inside, you don't need that to the postseason.
04:11Because the regular season is really run and gun.
04:14True.
04:14I completely disagree with you that he has a good stat line.
04:18Okay?
04:19Four for 15 and two from seven from three against an undersized Philly team.
04:25They only have four free throws.
04:27So, again, this is that they have a hammer only one other team in the league has.
04:33The Nuggets have this hammer.
04:35The 76ers have this hammer.
04:38If you just let him shoot threes going two for seven from three.
04:42Well, he looked lazy.
04:45He was jacking up stuff from 33 feet for no reason because he's lazy.
04:50Well, he looked lazy.
04:51I should not call the man lazy.
04:53But he looked bad.
04:54Remember, in the fourth quarter, he was bending down like this after a boxing class, bro.
04:59He looked terrible.
05:00He looked out of shape.
05:01And this game won.
05:03That's sincere.
05:03And, Tim, the stuff coming from the offseason at camp is like, oh, look at all this weight he shed.
05:09He's down his rookie weight.
05:10And it still looks like the same Joel Embiid.
05:13That's all right.
