Cam Payne is the upgrade the Sixers needed

Cam Payne is the upgrade the Sixers needed

Can we talk about Rick’s free throws at the end listen man Tyrese Maxi missed a free throw in the final 10 seconds yes he did but not Ricky not Ricky stepped up there cool as you like as they would say he’s a dog he said it himself I’m a

Dog so when he stepped up and this is the part where we were talking about Nick nurse could not get the proper substitution in for to get the right Personnel on the floor because we were like all right you need a you need a a big man on the floor for rebounding you

Need substitution guards and all that stuff but he had already foued out folks so at that point Nick nurse needed to do what he needed to do to get the right Personnel out there on the floor Ricky coun was on the floor and they fou him exactly what they were supposed to do

But you know what Ricky counil didn’t do he didn’t pass the ball either because that’s Rick Rick feels like I’m walking to this free throw line I’m going to knock these two down and he did we were thinking man this is a tough spot for the rookie maybe splits him might miss

Both just all we asked we were like give them one just give him one you got to split the pair and he hit both and Rick went up there took some deep breaths took his time not janis’s time at the free throw line but he took his time

Nobody takes y his time at the free throw L Knocked Down two free throws folks and that was big time for the young fella and again coming in energy good defense on All Stars where he is he is running through screens where you’re not supposed to be able to get through I

Didn’t realize the Sixers were allowed to have guys who could get over screens without and he is just blowing up these screens where he is getting there and not allowing they’re having the reverse dribble to get away from him to try to get back to the screen to get the action

Going that they wanted so for the second consecutive game the numbers didn’t look the same with the 19 and 10 double double but what he did give you once again was good minutes 20 minutes and 38 seconds 8 points two big free throws down the stretch he was four for five

And had five boards iMed immediately we were like yo Rick’s coming in he’s not allowing anybody to get the rebound he had two taken away from him Tyrese Maxi not the only time that they fought for rebounds was when Ricky was going to get one and and Rick is in there and look

Just good minutes just really good minutes from The Young fella and it’s good to see because when we were discussing the jayton Springer piece these are JT and Springer’s moments Springer is going to bring that same activity but you’re getting the height there as well you’re getting the he’s

Not afraid to shoot the basketball at all and and that defense and that maybe he should be sometimes but but like you said two for seven but he wasn’t afraid to take those shots when he was open just let it fly man so right now this is a good development for this team

Something that we didn’t expect as we get ready for the second half of the season because even when the others do come back Nick nurse probably has to find some moments where he has to call number 16 to get out there on the floor so once again for the second consecutive

Game good minutes and good play from the rookie and look we could go up and down the roster tonight and we could find good things that the guys did right like we brought up KJ Martin very briefly came up with three offensive rebounds scored 10 points and in 25 minutes in a

Almost 26 minutes in a starter role yes was pretty good like KJ has been I would say straight up bad for most of this season right they’re not winning if he doesn’t play at least sort of well tonight so Goodman from him tied the team in rebounding leading the team with

Eight so that was good uh campaign only shot four for 10 but I’ve seen some people in the chat as well as social media talking about it’s just good that they have more ball handling right like this is what we talked about start of the year when I was dubious of Pat Bev

And saying hey they need more creative Talent on this team I think you see the clear Leap Forward pain has given them there over Beverly whatever you think about that like Pat as a Defender cam aely threat he guy that we saw it tonight you put George Nang in front of

Him and he goes the are you doing that for I’m going screen I don’t want that screen I’m going right at that guy who by the way we talked during the game George Nang looking like he enjoyed his offseason he got paid man he got his

Contract and he’s just been uh just been hanging out but look Cam being able to take a guy off the dribble six free throws tonight and only played what 24 minutes I didn’t realize he had 15 points at the end of the night that’s that’s what happens when you get to the

Free throw line and then on top of that he hit moomo with the lob he’s hitting some nice drop off passes and you can’t sell out as hard on the Maxis on the Buddies if the ball swings the campaign and either he takes and is a pretty

Credible shooter from there or is able to beat guys off the dribble like that’s that’s why we’ve been preaching this for so long get ball handlers get Shooters on this team because it’s not just good to have that guy it’s what does it mean for everybody else around them so I I

Think he’s been better than advertised to the point that like look Kyle Lowry I’m sure has been promised a certain type of roll amount of minutes to come here like we can all say hey Philadelphia homecoming he’s excited for that and that’s part of it campaign if

Kyle Lowry doesn’t play well he’s he’s shown you he can be a real credible option so we’ve talked about competition and what that breeds on this show I think it’s a great thing that even at backup point guard now they can say hey look we got a couple different guys who

Can play here Kyle has a tough night we’re subbing him out cam comes in doesn’t play well we can go back to Kyler or we can go to somewhere else like having options is all you can ask for so so far the trade deadline three games in admittedly against a couple bad

Teams and a very good one tonight but looks like they are on the right track yeah and and look when we talk the pat Beverly thing we were right there with you because even when we were talking tyus Jones and dlon Wright Monte Morris names TJ McConnell before Pat Beverly

Got going it was because we talked about upgrading now they’re going to have two backup point guards come in Kyle Lowry and campaign already but the one thing when we would get so excited in the play about Pat Beverly was because oh he had a 10-point night oh he hit two threes oh

He made a great pass offensively for a great finish yeah those were unexpected results from Patrick Beverly it was a bonus cherry on top gravy on whatever you want whatever analogy you want to use it was gravy campaign offensively is a much better player so when he goes for 15 we say

Damn that was a good game but it’s not as if we’ve never seen that from him and it’s not it’s not a revelation that his offensive game will bring you 15 with some really get passes and by the way in the 20 plus minutes he’s on the floor no

Turnovers once again as wild as he can be sometimes no turnovers but Nick nurse also puts him on the floor with maxi and Buddy heel and Turk I completely forgot we had a campaign tqu beon Smith Tyrese Maxi one through three at one point four KJ

Martin no it was I’m pretty sure it was KJ or it might they might have switched buddy and Paul Reed was the five Mo Boma was the five it was like the four shortest one through four ever and then Mo bomba at one point they did there was

Some switching through it was a very quick shuffling through the lineup but it was but the point is again that Nick nurse is putting him out there and he’s like cam just go go do what you do and he went out there and he ran this team

And he shot the ball he he got 10 shots up and and and that’s the thing again he may miss he is not shot but you know what they’re going to do they’re going to aggressively close out on him you know what they’re going to do when you

Put a when you find a match up with George Nang is on campaign he’s going to say I got this yeah and you have to make a decision are you going to allow him to be put in these these screens where you’re going to call for him and get him in the

Mismatch probably going to have to get him off the floor too because what’s happening is you’re going to get caught one too many times and it’s going to happen continue continue and continue and continue and continue where they’re going to try to take that match up and

Exploit it and get the best so campaign solid game in game number three for the Philadelphia 76ers we all sitting like the mayor

Kyle Neubeck and Devon Givens dive into the positives from the Cleveland matchup against the Sixers on Monday night and discuss how the potential behind now having credible options such as Cam Payne and Kyle Lowry gives the Sixers room to compete.
