00:00Your thoughts on the Sixers just laying an egg on national TV.
00:04I thought Jalen Brown should be ashamed of himself because he has done all this big talk.
00:12And you know what?
00:12I got to call out Jason Tatum first, though.
00:15Before we get into the basketball, Jason Tatum is bringing his whole nice guy approach.
00:20I have no beef with Jalen Brown.
00:25I have no problems with Jalen Brown.
00:27Now, you know that you were a part of that trade.
00:31I don't want to hear that you had nothing to do with it.
00:34You were at least informed of it.
00:35And you know all this, I tried to call him, all this stuff.
00:39I believe Jason Tatum is a nice guy, but I believe that he wants you to believe that he's a
00:46nice guy.
00:47And that's my big issue.
00:48Like tonight, trying to go shake his hand before the beginning of the game, all this stuff.
00:54You know Jalen Brown didn't want to talk to you, but yet you went over there trying to be the
01:01public good guy.
01:02All of this has been a public facade for Jason Tatum.
01:05Now, I'm not saying he's not a nice guy, but I believe this has all been performative, him trying to
01:10save his bacon with public image.
01:12It's to the point where we're all like, we don't believe you.
01:16Just respond in some form or fashion.
01:18Now, to the basketball, Jalen Brown should be ashamed of himself for all that Lamb Chalkman gravy talk and go
01:25out there and have the worst performance of the season.
01:28Awful performance from Jalen Brown on a night where all eyeballs were on him.
01:33If he's supposed to be the big guy, all that big guy talk is why he got traded in the
01:38first place.
01:39And to come up small like this is embarrassing.
01:41Not just for him, but for these Sixers who are trying to win a championship.
01:46John, what do you think?
01:48I know you talked about you're not a Jason Tatum guy.
01:51Was that kind of your sentiments?
01:53Do you share it with Tim where it's like he has this fake persona?
01:56Because a lot of people criticize him for that.
01:58Like he's not original with a lot of his thoughts and his processes and stuff.
02:04You know who he reminded me of?
02:06Who's that?
02:07Jason Tatum reminded me of J.D. Vance.
02:11I kind of see that.
02:12Yeah, I kind of see that.
02:13It don't matter what you do.
02:15I don't believe you.
02:16I don't believe you.
02:17No matter what you do.
02:19I don't trust you.
02:20I don't trust you.
02:22I don't trust you, J.D. Vance.
02:23And I don't trust Jason Tatum either.
02:25They're the same guy to me.
02:26They're the same.
02:27It looked good.
02:28It's very smiling.
02:29Very smiling.
02:30Very happy.
02:31Says the right thing all the time.
02:34Says the right thing.
02:35Could be likable if I actually got to know him.
02:37But because I don't, from a distance, I don't believe you.
02:41I don't believe you at all.
02:42Because the person who was next to you in a foxhole with you, he don't believe you.
02:46And because he don't believe you, I don't believe you.
02:49I'm with it.
02:50Jason Tatum, 21.6 rebounds, two blocks.
02:53Like I said, 11 in the first quarter.
02:56He didn't play as well.
02:57A lot of shots.
02:58Yeah, a lot of shots.
02:59And Tim, he didn't play as well as your boy.
03:02The guy that brought prominence to Philadelphia in Paul George.
03:06Yeah, Paul George was a guy that you signed to a max deal.
03:09I have nothing to say.
03:11Cars can fly.
03:12And society is amazing in Philadelphia because of Paul George.
03:16Right, Tim?
03:18Listen, Paul George was a disaster in Philadelphia, except for that one playoff series.
03:22Something clicked with Paul George against the Celtics last year.
03:26Don't let John hear that.
03:28It was in the second half.
03:36Well, according to John, something really did click.
03:39That's what I'm saying.
03:40But he's continued on what he was doing in the postseason against the Celtics for the Celtics.
03:46Now, I don't think anybody came into this game thinking, man, the Sixers are going to lose
03:51because Paul George is going to have a night like he's back in Indiana.
03:56No one thought that.
03:58So, I think the solace in this game is that Sixers fans can take away, okay, that's not
04:05going to happen.
04:05Now, will the Celtics always shoot threes like they always do?
04:09Yeah.
04:09So, that's their formula.
04:11They win by the three, they die by the three.
04:13So, even that, you can take solace in.
04:16But the fact that the combination of them shooting threes and making them plus Paul George
04:19having 36, that won't happen very often.
04:21I thought another indication in this game, too, was Philadelphia is built to guard the
04:28three-point heavy version of this Boston Celtics game.
04:34If you got two players who can't move, LeBron and Joel Embiid, like, how are you going to guard that?
04:41This is where I thought Joel Embiid would not be on the floor much tonight.
04:44Because at some point, when you get later in the season, he's going to play himself off the court if
04:50he can't make this atrocious mid-range shot he keeps taking.
04:53And it keeps coming up short.
04:55And it's even more atrocious three-point shot he keeps taking.
04:57It keeps going way too long.
04:59So, if he can't make those shots, he's no longer a threat for what they want to do.
05:04So, with Brown being your center, and then you bring in, you still have Maxie, you have Edgecombe, you have
05:11Brown.
05:12That's your rotation to guard the three-point shot.
05:15And I really felt like, with Jalen Brown losing a lot of steam by what happened, and Simon's inability to,
05:23I don't know, follow your man, they had a very difficult job struggling.
05:29Because when Pritchard saw Simon's, boy, his eyes bled up.
05:33Yeah.
05:35His eyes got big as a salsa when he saw Simon's.
05:38Boy, he said, oh, summer league, basket.
