Defeated the San Antonio Spurs 133 to 123 but but this but the story of the game was Joel embiid scoring a franchise record 70 points he did it on 24 24 of 41 shooting he made 21 of 23 free throws he had 18 rebounds nine offensive five

Assists one block one still and just one turnover now first of all I I I didn’t even introduce this bro I I apologize I’m Keith Pompei this is my right-hand man John Mitchell I guess I got caught up in last night’s game whatever and all whatnot

But what did we witness last night man we uh we witnessed a Transcendent performance man you know we were talking about this yet just yesterday that you know other the Sixers might win you know they they’ll cruise to Victory don’t they’ll win by 10 you know uh you know

And we’ll get a chance to see the present and we’ll get a chance to see you know n&b and we’ll get a chance to see the future in wemy but man what we saw was history you know we saw a guy who I mean the Sixers have been around for 70 some

Years you know and and Warrior Sixers whatever and you know for this guy to go out and drop 70 and an almost it seems like an almost effortless 70 you know mid-range inside over the head no no look you know dump over the eight and a half foot wingspan whatever Wy

Is yeah eight foot wingspan I’m sitting there I watched the game with my mom I’m I said man I’m g go see my mom this evening so I drove over to West Philly check out my mom mom well yeah she’s doing good and she she went you know she

Went to Brook with will she graduated from will you know she grew up okay you know I mean my mother actually has letters from Will Chamberlain when he was in Kansas they would act they were that close and she stays in touch with the family uh well his sister out in

Vegas and um it was just you know just watching this guy do what he did so effortlessly so casually and and might I might add efficiently like you know he if if some guy I mean he was still looking to pass the ball while they were funneling him

The ball and rightly so towards the end of the game G he was still looking to make passes out of the double team key you know that’s that’s a sign of incredible incredible maturity um you know you’re almost at a at a loss of words to describe the

Greatness that we saw yesterday um and again you know stay healthy Joel good God Almighty stay healthy man and get to this postseason and put something on these people because yeah let me ask you a question though you said your mom went to high school with wil they

Were they wrote letters and and whatnot while he was in Kansas so that tells you she was they you know close friends um what did she think of the performance last night because she saw wil play you know what I mean you know I mean so what

Did she think of the performance yeah in my mind she play she played at channy state chny state she played the Christian Street why I know I’m dating myself and dating my mom but um she was amazed she loves basketball and and and we watch ball together sometimes you

Know and she’ll call me when games on she loves Steph Curry that’s her guy right now she she love Steph Curry’s game and and she was just blown away she was like you know we’re sitting there saying you know John you know Patrick Yu David Robinson the dream who’s my

Favorite big man she said I mean he’s you know I’m critical of some of the younger players but this guy he’s got everything you know and and sometimes you know my mom knows as much basketball as some of these guys who get PID to talk about it on the Airways and I’m not

Bsing either I just you know when you hear some of the things that come out of their mouth you know she knows as much as some of them so um yeah I um she she loved it man I I haven’t seen my mom that happy watching the sporting event in a

Minute yeah yeah yeah um um I mean that’s the thing I mean that’s the thing right there the one thing you said people being happy about it your mom knows basketball um I mean she knows wilp and and and I think that’s the most important thing because someone like

That can put it in perspective right because there’s a lot of people out there like you know every time Joel and be does something I don’t know if if you get it but I get it from people saying look bro um it’s great that Jo and beid did this

But he ain’t nowhere close to will now I’m not trying to compare him to wil at all like I get it like you know Wilt scored 70 several times above 70 several times but the one thing is that you know we haven’t seen someone do stuff like

This in years right and you know the thing is you know we look at Joel embiid and you talk about how big he is 72 uh two listed 280 I think is closer to 300 I’m not saying he’s fat I’m just saying he’s a big he’s 72 big dud yeah

Right so the thing is with that being said the stuff that he does is guard likee I mean his mid-range jumpers are like layups and dunks right his dunks are forceful um the funny thing about last night is that was the first time that he went up against somebody that

Was bigger than him and like if initially you saw how Wendy’s hype forced him to alter his shot and do certain things yeah guess what happened he was strong he got to the foul line he was able to bump wimy he was able to do all types of things that showed a lot

Man because like average guy didn’t do it and now we look at it and I’ll be honest there was a time when players like Shaq and all and Barkley they were extremely critical of NB because why because mb’s game is different didn’t want to be the traditional Center that

Just on the Block turns around and Bloom or like does some other things now we’re praising him for being himself and what he did yesterday now granted is let let’s keep it real some people gonna say look man that was the Spurs it was a eight and 35 team

Spurs traveling there a traveling show traveling Crown show yeah traveling Crown show but for this guy to score 24 points in the first quarter and come back with 25 in the third Ian we talking about 49 points over two quarters right and for him to do exactly what he did

The way he did it and like you said he was still looking to get teammates involved yeah I mean it says a lot man it says a lot about his performance I mean more power to him more power to him because because the crazy thing is he

Can beat the double team up top he can beat the double team down low which is amazing to me but he’s looking you know a few of those mishandled passes he threw the wideopen sixes he could have had a few more assists you know and it’s it’s it’s interesting uh he was being

Interest interviewed post game last night and somebody mentioned to him well you know Joelle this shows his respect for history uh I think it was Kate Scott she said Joelle you know you have um only you and Michael Jordan you’re the only players in league history to ever

Have a a I think it was 65 18 and five line and he looked at her and said Oh you mean Wilt didn’t do that you know and I was like wow so he you know he it’s wi resonates with us but also he resonates with some of these young guys

Man you know the numbers that wit put up um but yeah he did everything in the flow of the game uh I loved it you know I saw and I know you noticed a few times one time he caught the ball in the paint and you know the spirit of Shaq took

Over and he was like you know listen Wy let me give you this elbow which I know you won’t recover from and the rest won’t call and he cleared he cleared him out completely cleared him out from under the basket and went for a easy bucket the basket the stuff we’ve been

Begging him to do the stuff that we are going to demand that he do when they play porzingis lightweight behind you know so um yeah it’s what couldn’t he do last night the m mid-range thing is sick the mid-range thing is absolutely sick he’s not he’s not stepping out for those

Threes but if he were to do it I I mean I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched him play and say no don’t do that and I was wrong um but yes it’s all it’s all come together for him man it’s all come together for him and yes it was

The traveling clown show um but they do have a player who let let’s be quite honest when the future the league is going to be his in the future but right now it’s Joel’s yeah exactly right right now it’s Joel’s and you know Joel’s that

Dude and um he he he showed Wy like bro it ain’t your time just yet it might be in a little bit but I’m I’m I’m the presid right now just chill but look man we got to get some game action um when we get back uh we want to talk I mean

Like yes it was the Joel and B show but this was the Sixers six victory in a row um you know they’re a half a game behind the Milwaukee Bucks for second place in the Eastern Conference standings so we we we’ll talk more about the team this

Scored 70 points he scored more than half of his team’s points they scored 133 but there were certain things that really stood out to me like for instance the six had 28 assists to four turnovers right um beautiful yeah as a team now now Joel now Joel had nine of them the

Sixers had 19 um they you know they they had 19 offensive rebounds right um they they had 48 rebounds they won that one I mean the thing is it just looked like um the guys were trying to get Joel involved but at the same time you know

You you have to be pleased with the performance overall because let’s face it uh Robert cumington is still out moamba didn’t play Patrick buley is still out yeah um you know uh marus moris yeah Marcus Morris they saying he’ll be back hopefully the next game and and and then De Anthony Melton but

You know guys like KJ Martin came in and stepped up a guy who probably won’t be here pass the trade deadline I like you like him like his athleticism yeah oh man it’s on fire Paul Reed Paul Reed had six points you know uh eight rebounds five offensive

Just I mean your thoughts of the overall win and the fact that they got a six game winning streak yeah well you know yesterday we were talking about um you know how sometimes when you play that that final because it’s it’s almost like they’re still out on on a road trip you

Know cuz they just came off the road trip you know uh and now they’re getting ready to go back out with some really serious competition at the at the front end of the road trip uh but like you just rattled off the names they don’t have you know all those players and you

Know they’re on a six game winning streak um I think the first uh win that streak that streak came without Joel in the lineup if I’m not mistaken you know so um you know this team you know Kudos and shout outs to Nick nurse man because

He has you know the team has a synchronicity that they never achieved last season uh they they’re playing on a rope they’re playing on a string um they’re beating the team they supposed to beat uh they they’re getting wins when they’re when they’re shorthanded I and you can never discount

That um so you know and again just looking at the game last night you know all the assists all the ball movement and you know cutting down the turnovers Joelle going to the offensive glass there have been some questions about their rebounding lately uh and if that

Might crop that might pop up again when they do get to the inevitable postseason um so I I think they’re playing well you know they um you know we’ll get a chance to see them hit the road and get some stiff tests uh but you know and not to place

Too much on the 70 point effort it’s hard it’s the elephant in the room today but the reality of it is um this stuff has got to translate to the postseason you know I can’t tell you how many people I talked to uh last night at

Least two and and the nay say is they they love mb’s game but they say listen man we haven’t gotten past the second round till since 2001 it’s time for that to happen it’s one thing to put up 70 in January against a traveling clown show it’s another thing to do it against

Boston say Milwaukee Miami whoever you know when the grass starts to turn green the flowers are coming up well nowadays the flowers come up in late February because of a global warming situation that’s a different story so um you know but but but I like the way they’re playing you

Know they’re they’re efficient and this it’s hard this the way they’re playing right now they’re playing good basketball they’re scoring the basketball they win ugly games like they did uh I think it was against Charlottes the other night um they are I mean I I I I know I

Don’t mean to cut you off bro but my thing is I you know sometimes say hey it’s good to win those games it is of course it’s better than the loss but I didn’t like they the way they played at all in that one yeah I just felt like

They was doing a little bit too much herob Ball but I’ll let you continue sorry yeah so so you know as it as it and I hear you I hear you I mean I mean that was an ugly game um but you know it’s good to get these six in a row and

Now go out on a road where you’re gonna get you g get some good tests early on um and you know things can happen on the west coast you you know it’s the West Coast it’s trip you play in the three T three time zones removed you know when

They go out there against Utah Golden State so um but you know particularly you know this kind of washes away for a lot of Philadelphia sports fans the horrible Taste of uncooked peas that the football team left in their mouths you know you know that which which looks

Like a clown show but I digress right now um so yeah so I’m looking forward to uh the rest of this season with Joel andb will continue to display and and the possibility of maybe adding a player because you did do you want to waste do you want to waste the

Level of play which we haven’t seen in years yeah we’ll talk more about that in the next segment because yeah we got because that that’s the main thing but here’s the thing Mitch this upcoming trip so they won they won six in a row now the one thing that I want to say

About the upcoming trip is that we’re really going to find out how good this team is on the road and and and the reason why I’m saying that is we thought that this road trip we thought that the road trip when they had a Christmas trip when they went to Miami

Then um Orlando and then Houston yeah you know what I mean we we thought that that in Chicago we thought that was going to tell us a lot but but Nick patum only played in the final game right and Joe lmb missed the whole trip now granted I’m looking at this trip and

You know they start off at Indiana a good team you know that’s going to be lit right and then they have a backto back with Portland and uh the Golden State Warriors and then they conclude the trip at Utah so we’re looking at it like it’s topheavy in the front and then

The other ones should should be you know they should win right but the thing is we’re talking about a backto back you never know what can happen yeah never know and then you know Steph is going to be motivated the other guys are going to be motivated Golden State I hate to say

Call them a trap game but it could be a trap game right because they’re good just because they’re good right but I want to see we’re gonna learn a lot about the Sixers against Indiana and we’re gonna learn a lot about them against Denver on the road a lot about

Joel now the one thing is it’s gonna be the first time that Joel and be played in Denver since 20 excuse me 2019 so we’re gonna learn a lot pull out the oxygen H pull out the oxygen mask yeah man pull out better get that hyper chamber for

The brother when he out there do all that right so so so so we so we’ll see so that’s a lot but look when we get back we got to talk about the importance of you know possibly seeing if they can make a move right like we we see what

What Daryl Mory can do because you know you never know like you said this is a a great opportunity for the Sixers and do you really want to waste it I I don’t think they do right so we’ll talk about that but right now I want to talk to

To the first ever National Sports 247 streaming Channel now Mitch you think I I don’t want to put words in your mouth but you’re about to put words in your mouth you think that this is the way Joel is playing right now they can’t afford to M they can’t

Afford to waste this time with that being said you think they need to go out there and get another player I’m just asking yeah I okay know they are at an inflection point you you hav’t be but you’ve seen this before from not this but you’ve seen great play from him

Before um they have excellent chemistry right now uh and and yes we all get excited about the trade deadline we’ve seen uh Indie get better we’ve seen the Knicks get better uh but with with with the 76 situation where they have C flexibility they they have roster flexib

Ability um I’m tamping that down the guy I would like to see them bring in here is still Deonte Murray I would love to see him brought in here um I think Caruso would be a guy you know the guy who can hit the three a guy who can play

Defense you know I’m I’m backing away from the Levin of the world um uh but but but I also know that Nick nurse is a guy who said listen I won a championship before uh you know we had the right pieces in Toronto and he’s I know when when his

DOL his door closed when he goes off the record with you guys he’s probably like man look at this look how this guy’s playing you know it’s if if you add one more I’m putting words in his mouth and I’m just thinking out loud but but if if

You put the right piece um if everybody is healthy you know we always talk about move Tobias but do you really want to you know the way Tobi is a very very very good three this year you know um you know what I said go out go out and

Add Andre Drummond type if you can extract him from Chicago I’m kind of high on guys like that guys who you’re not going to have to sit there revamp your offense um you know get Kelly ub’s game to continue to rise I like seeing him playing defense against guards now

You know giving them more length so you know but again it goes back to you know you have a generation I mean when we say generational player this guy this this guy’s at a level above wherever Allen ainson played you know what I mean um

Which is saying a lot and I know in Philly it’s can be you said a level above yeah he’s playing yeah’s I was covering the league when you know when AI that says a lot I mean I mean and here’s the re like and and I the reason

Why I’m saying that I’m not be I mean I’m you know what it’s funny there was a player in the locker room it’s just locker room I’m not gonna I’m not gonna name the player but he told me that MB was better than AI so I’m

So so so so now get this so he said Keith he better than him word yeah he says uhh let’s just hold off right now yeah I don’t want to pick not that’s not on people gonna think I’m crazy that’s why I’m not saying who the guy is right

Yeah he said people gonna think I’m crazy and I was like dude better than Ai and he was like I’m telling you Keith this dude is special I’ve never seen anyone play like embiid and I’m like so I said better than AI right I kep saying

It and he says all right let’s not put that out there just yet let’s not put it out there just yet now so my thing is for you to say that and you covered the league for a while and you all these other people I mean you know it’s like like you

Know okay yeah I mean I said Courtside about 1500 games Keith you know playoffs caugh the cut the end of the MJ ER covered him in Washington which he was when he was Floyd Jordan um he went a Jordan he was Floy Jordan by that time and and I have to be quite

Honest man I mean you know as old as as an old time we have a hard time yielding to the present but man if you if you know basketball you know what you’re looking at you know what you’re looking at you know and again if we had if we

Had a table full they would say yeah but this is January and that was San Antonio and I would say you’re absolutely right and the last thing I want to see Jo mbb is a player who is a two-time MVP and the only two-time MVP to never reach the

Finals and never play for a championship so yeah so but but this roster just looks is a Fool’s goal is a Fool’s goal because we know we we see him limping into April and May and you can never discard that with this team it’s great as he was last night you can never

Discard that yeah I mean I like the roster and the problem is with the roster we we we never had like an extended period of time to see what they can do yeah I mean you know I mean because everybody’s getting hurt like CU

And and and D melt been out for a minute people don’t realize statistically they’re two of the best defenders in the league and and they the brothers been hurt both of them yeah yeah baton like he plays a little bit then next thing you know he’s out right so it’s it’s

Like it’s a deep Squad why but you’re right they probably do need another ball handler a guy that I think that they could go after could be Malcolm brogen but the problem with that is Portland is gonna try to get gonna try to win the

Deal right so it is what it is but you you raising a great point but look y’all we don’t want to be too long- winded here have you guys saying yo they just blob bling blob bling blob bling blob bling so we want to thank y’all for

Listening we really do we want y’all to have a blessed day we want y’all to know you can get this podcast wherever you get your podcast at free and available right you just do that but again thanks for listening and we hope y’all have a blessed day peace have a good one y’all
