Maxey & Embiid were absolute superstars! – ESPN react to 76ers late comeback 109-1052 win over Heat
An absolutely massive and spectacular win for the Sixers down in Miami we’re breaking out the thesaurus here people that’s how we roll when you beat the heat in Miami the 78 game the standings we’re going to take all look at it because it is all jumbled up now because
It is so tight between 67 and8 and this was a huge win because of where the Sixers sat and because of where the heat sat Jimmy great performance is across the board Tyrese Maxi absolutely masterful in this one yeah he was Sensational as was his uh counterpart
Joel embiid and not by coincidence the Sixers finished this game on a 15-3 run to win by four and embiid came back in the game little over three minutes to go when he’s on the floor the sixer defense does that it just gets infinitely better
The whole game had all these runs 20 to1 13 nothing 153 172 it was crazy and every time that the heat started to pull away the Sixers you thought are they going to answer and Mark they did answer in a way they did Amy this 76ers team
Played so well in the offensive end the defensive end they played well too gave up some offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter but they lived to fight another day because they got the ones that mostly counted to win the game but this 76 team came out the battle coach
Mentioned that with Joel embiid the defense went through the roof but big Miss by a lot of guys especially Max and Joel and we got to take a look at those standings because you the Sixers the heat entered the night they were in six the Sixers entered in seven but
Everybody was only like one back you were one back of the Pacers in the they’re still in the eighth spot but they’re only one back in the Lost column and that is the most important thing and more importantly Jim now the series with the heat is tied 2 two so you’re going
To the second tiebreaker which is Conference record that might not be decided until the very end of the season but if you keep on winning and taking care of your business it might not come down to that yeah and then winning these late two last two games the Sixers of
Put themselves I think in tremendous position you know they had a tough schedule Amy we knew they had that West Coast trip they lost three of the four games but the fact of the matter is the games that are remaining they’re in this I think they’ll be favored in every
Single game most of those teams have losing records the sckers if they can play the way they played in these two games they have a chance we said before the game running the table and they have a a joy and beid back maybe not 100% quite yet but they have that gentleman
Joeel embid and that makes a big difference mark big man makes a big difference and that man Joel and be he’s not in tip top shap yet but he’s molding into there but even with that being said he still have such a presence on both ends of the floor offensively you want
To down low okay no problem you want a double and triple I’m going to three-point line make it happen too but on the defense ENT he just makes his guards so much more aggressive because you know you got the big fella protecting your back back there and that
Just catapults the 76ers up there yeah absolutely uh Tyrese Maxi speaking of catapulting his team up there he was so close to a triple double let’s check in with him now after this big win in Miami clap your hands everybody for Philadelphia 76ers I’m just going to let you I’m
Going to let you to do that come on 1 two three four five I could carry a tune if it had a handle on it sing it with me tyres I was I was singing with you more Miss K but I’m tired I know I know all
Right here we go here we go baby well sorry not sorry you guys just missed uh Tyrese and I harmonizing on the song but Tyrese just said I’m tired Tyrese why are you tired you only scored 37 points had nine rebounds and 11 assists in 41 minutes why you tired bro
Man it’s true you know hey normally when you come back you know you get to play like 32 minutes but uh Nur asss are good I said I’m good man I can play as much you need me to one rebound away from a triple double are you aware of that
Stuff while the game’s going on come on man what I tell you what I tell you for sure always yeah yeah yeah yeah come on now sorry guys jool and B was talking to me it’s all good man one rebound away from a triple double is something like
That in the back of your mind while the game’s going on honestly we were just trying to get a rebound down the street so I was like man let me go ahead and try to get you know musle with the big guys and get one um but P was I’m just
Going to give a quick shout out to P I told him like the seven minute Mark I said man get every single rebound he started jumping over guys and getting rebounds and playing tough so he was huge in that stretch when we came back and forth well speaking of that we just
Talked about it a few minutes ago Tyrese because we know that you had a chance against the Clippers you had a chance in Cleveland and you guys talked about after those losses not being able to execute tonight final 6 minutes and 10 seconds you outscored the heat 15-3 yep
Yep that was big man defensively uh we buckle down and got stops we play a little Zone play a little man and uh we got a lot of stops then on offens end we executed we knew we wanted to run we knew we wanted to get to and it was good
For us this is a tough building to play in and come away with the w but your defense as you just touched on was a big part of it what does that say about this team moving forward that you’re able to come away with a win in a tough building
Yeah we know what we can do you know we know what we’re capable of we’ve been missing a guy on our team for a long time and uh you know he’s back and I think it makes it a lot easier on not just myself but everybody uh he
Organization and not just because he scores the ball because of the amount of attention that he brings and and everybody he uplifts the spirit of everybody and we went out there we’ve been competing extremely hard defens van since Allstar break honestly so uh and
To have Joel back it was big time for us we still competing and he was helping us Big Time come on tyes sing it with me clap your hands everybody for Philadelphia 76 job hey don’t be like that he’s just jealous he’s just jealous we love you Tyrese
Maxi we’ll sing it with you clap your hands everybody it’s we’re going to play it for you in reality coming up just a little a little bit but who doesn’t love that song especially after a big win Tyrese Maxi obviously giving praises I love that Jolan be comes over you know
Starts talking to him it’s a huge boost Mark when you hit the reigning MVP back and Maxi said also I was a little tired you know my first game back 22 what no no I’m I’m good to go and he was out there and they needed every bit as you
Heard all say only one rebound shy of his first triple double listen Amy he’s too young and too spout to be acting like he tired you are Tyrese Maxi you are the baldest life the smilest the smilest wonder he just can’t be tired even though he wants to play tired he
Cannot be he’s a horrible actor but just his ability to pretty much put myami heat down like he has been he has been a breath of fresh air for this organization since he set foot in the uniform but once again this is proven why he was a Allstar this is proven why
People some people say oh he’s not as good as we say he is he’s proving is that what we say his numbers and his the way he plays is showing you how good he is for the theay sers this young man is is is not just good for basketball he’s
Good for the young kids to watch because the way he plays with so much joy it’s just an honor to watch him 28 and8 with Jo and bid 28 and8 with Jo and beid you want numbers there’s a number for you uh let’s check out the colon that’s what
You do that’s what say I guarantee like the take take that out yeah you just take it right it’s a great it was a great game and it was interesting you know we were talking Jimmy the runs that happen in this game though were very strange you see these 8
Nothing 10 nothing 12 nothing 20 to1 15 to3 have you ever seen a game quite like that uh not too often uh and you’re dead right and like typically and I guess justifiably so it ended on a run in the Sixers favor what 15 to3 I think you
Said and I’ll tell you who had his fingerprints all over the late game situations once again was Kelly UB yes he made some big field goals he had a big steal he just is a gamer he he comes to play at Key time yeah we mentioned that as well when we’re talking about
Guys closing games out in the Thunder game Kelly UB 17 points in the fourth quarter you need guys to step up Sixers now have three I would think guys that you can count on for that and Mark when you’re going into the playoffs and you’re thinking about when you know you
In the guts of the game as Mark zumoff likes to say you would have that and you could have three guys that can do that I’m sorry am name your three oh um oh no my three are Kelly UB because we’ve seen it now twice
Tyrese Maxi and Joel ID oh okay uh I just want to see your three listen KY UB tyres Maxi Joel embi Tobias Harris these guys thank you for including Tobias yes yes was out with injury tonight yeah that’s true but you said you’re three so so with that being
Said this team is really seem to be functioning on all cylinders can you imagine I I told them off air I tell amen coach off air I have a good friend named Jeff they live in in a a Massachusetts area and I said are y’all starting to petition y’all the people in
Milwaukee that’s trying to prohibit Joell and be from playing the playoffs and say he like he didn’t play enough game so he shouldn’t be allowed to play in the playoffs cuz you see this roster where if you want to be anchoring that middle they’re scary they’re scary for
The best teams in the league and you’re watching it right before your eyes and this is not 100% Joel be this guy still rounding in shape that’s got to fear all these teams not 100% no when I’ll tell I mean again sitting here it’s you look
And you try to like draw conclusions he looked very very fatigued to me that’s why I say it was good the timing when Nick nurse put him back in and when you two guys are just speaking I just look Joe did not have a field goal in the
Fourth quarter so the six are able to win his defensive presence was there for sure but Kelly UB to the point you were speaking about he was very very timely with the scoring he did in the fourth back to back games Co think about it backto back games you didn’t you didn’t
Have 100% jool and beid two massive wins massive wins all right we’re going to take our first time out here on Sixers postgame live brought to you by Cure Insurance we are going to hear from Nick but sing along at home with us folks it’s clap your hands for your team your
