Fanatic About the Playoffs | Breaking Down Game 1

With the seventy Sixers coming off a one twenty eight one twenty four loss to the Atlanta Hawks. What is Fanatic about the Playoffs? If you do not check us out during the first round, this is our brand new postseason podcast series with us here at the seventy Sixers and our pals at ninety seventy five The Fanatic, the radio home of the seventy six Ers. New episodes dropped the day after every Sixers playoff game. My name's Brian Seltzer.

It is outstanding to be rejoined by the radio voice of the seventy Sixers on The Fanatic and the Sixers Radio Network, The one only Tom McGinnis and from the John Kincaid Morning Show six to ten every weekday morning on ninety seventy five. Bob Cooney, gentlemen, welcome back. Great to be speaking with you. Can we all unanimously agree on one thing. We'll start with you, t Mac. The Atlanta Hawks are not the Washington Wizards. Now. They have a lot of talent, for sure, and shooting is king right.

I mean, speed in sports is paramount, but in basketball, those that can shoot can really play. And why they showed that yesterday and they are a formidable opponent. And had we not known that, we definitely know it after Game one to be sure, Oh, no question, they're shooting. Yesterday was spectacular. And we'll get into this more, I'm sure, but I think anybody's a really good shooter in this NBA when you don't have a hand in your face. And the Sixers defense on a Young allowed others to

be open a little bit too much for my liking. Okay, let's take care of this right off the bat X factor. Yes, Trey Young thirty five and ten, major X factor. But I also think what Game one showed that for anyone who felt the Hawks were only about Trey Young and that he was a one man machine carrying this team. No, that's not the case. They've got some good pieces and a deep roster. They do, they do, and he's got a really good thing going when he dribbled drives and

hits the Clint Capella with the little lob passes. He's a great floater, so once he gets into the lane, he has great choices. It's either a light up a floater or an alley for a dunk. So you want to try to take that away. And when the Sixers did, he found other players that were able to hit shots yesterday and a lot of them, as I said, were just too wide open for my liking. And Bogdanovitch, of course, hits the big one towards the end when he did

have a hand than his face. So the Sixers in my mind, have to get on those secondary players a little bit better than they did on Sunday. And that's something that coach Rivers talked about after the game that they didn't like rotate to those guys well, And to me, that's like a fixable error. You gotta do it, got to execute. It's one thing to talk about it and know what the issue is, but you got to carry

it out and make sure you get that done. But it does sound something that you can show the guys. They're gonna have a video session as we speak later today, and they always go over tape and just and look at those things and have a more urgency. But certainly even Solomon Hill hit two threes. He lived in the corner. Boygdonovitch, not just the big shot that spelled the difference and created the space for them to finish out the game

with the win Atlanta. But man, the guy had like four threes in the first half and he's been doing it forever. Which I understand is this guy played in Europe. I just I was in the gym earlier today with former Villanova stand out Reggie Ready and who played in Turkey, and at one point, you know, Bogdanovitch made a game when he shot right over him. So he's been playing for He's a that's a world class skill when you

can shoot the ball, and clearly a coveted player. Right Milwaukee tried to get him, and now Atlanta's got him. He didn't play against the Sixers in those two games in late March, so that they spread the floor in Kebob's point with young getting into the lane, as I've said, he puts you in the buying where if you don't come out, he's shooting a twelve foot floater. If you do, he's lobbing it to Capella or making that second past somebody else will get it to a guy who's spaced

out beyond the perimeter. So look, they're young, they're confident, they've got talent, and they're they're trying to jump the line. Right, there's a pecking order in the NBA. You feel like the Sixers are in position to make that next step, but not to their liking. They're they're not, you know, they want to move on, and like I said, they would. They're a young team that nobody expected, certainly, you know back in February January, nobody expected this team to do this.

But they're for real and they're gonna be a tough out, that's for sure. Not that it's undoable by any stretch. I think the six is the fact that they did fight back shows that they can come back, and they've done that a number of times in multiple games, particularly at home. But a little too big of a hold down twenty six in the first half in order to come back and win that first game. I want to get into Trey Young a little bit more, some of the pieces that are part of the Hawks roster, and

also the second half by the seventy sixers. But I did want to get your guys reaction to what happened before the ball even tipped. Joel Embiid was made available to play and he started. Bob, did that surprise you that we saw him out there? No? Not really. I mean I had done for purposes of our show. I had gotten in touch with some trainers throughout sports and medical people, none to do with the Sixers, just to kind of find out more about the injury, and almost

to a person, it was it's a manageable thing. If he can tolerate the pain, the swelling and all that that injury embodies, then he should be okay to go. As you guys know, the telltale thing will be today. How did he re playing thirty eight minutes Jester today? How did the nie respond? What's the soreness like today? What's your you know, I know they have a schedule moving forward. How can he meet that today? So today will be very important as to what we see tomorrow

from Joel Embi. But um, I expected him to be a go yesterday and I'm glad he was, Tea Mack and he talked very matter of fact about it after the game. They said it, he's the playoffs you can't worry about. You know, I'm in him that someone supposed to play, or he's gonna play. You gotta go with your best guys, um, and you know as long as you know uh um okay, And I'm gonna keep my best and I'm gonna keep pushing until you know I can't. You know, I'm gonna die rules balls. You know I'm

gonna do whatever it takes some way. You certainly admire that mindset. And it was funny because based on what you were reporting Tea Mac on the air when we talked before the game, just how Joe wrapped up his

pregame warm up routine. I mean that made it sound like once you saw and heard about what he was doing pregame and you saw some of the video clips coming through on your timeline on Twitter, it started to give you the vibe and impression reading the Tea Leaves that this was going to be more and more likely. So not only did he play. He played great, he really did. I mean, as Bob said, thirty eight minute, thirty nine minutes, played his heart out, played with fight,

played with grit. You know, Dove literally laid it out on the line with that following Collins, which you know it's one play, but in the game you lose by four, and look, he's never in that clear path scenario. But that's actually if you were to go back, you probably wish he didn't do that. He maybe just let him go in because in the end they got four points with Collins getting two free throws, and they scored on the ensuing possession. But again, like coach Rivers didn't even

want him to have to be in that scenario. That was like college type trapping and pressing in the backcord. I mean, then look how the Sixers scored in those late stages where Ben missus a free throw, Joe gets it, scores and gets a foul shot, and then they stole it and Ben got an easy dunk. I mean, that's that was under the heading of miraculous comeback, but it just fell short. But in Bead was every bit as good as anybody can imagine him playing in that scenario.

Just I mean you talk about load management. He you know, he had load management in that game, and he played like a leader. You show it through your actions and through uh you know, playing under duress. And to Bob's point, it'll be managed. And uh, what's that crappy rapper from Days gone by? Ice Ice Baby Like, Joe's gonna have steam. He's gonna have ice like. He's really gonna be back with a little vanilla Ice. It's gonna be ice for

the rest of this time. Yeah, tremendous. Listen, that's going to be part of the billing now for vanilla Ice. You know what Ice ice baby, dig it. It's no meat, but he sounds like a bell ringer of the future Vanilla Ice. That was another amazing part of it, Like the Theater of Joe. I know, the Sixers didn't win. In hindsight, some people might say, well, you know, like don't don't have the theatrics. He was ready though, he was ready, And I wonder now what Atlanta is going

to try and do moving forward with him. I mean, thirty nine points in thirty eight minutes pretty insane. Bob, do you think there's there's any type of blueprint that the Hawks might be working with as far as their coverage with him. Do you think they were feeling some things out in Game one just to see how Joel

Embiid esque he could be. I thought he did a great job Sunday of doing what he's been doing all year, and that was seeing where the double teams were coming from and seeing what was happening the catch turn and look that that Doc Rivers taught him at the beginning of this season, to see exactly what's coming. I think is absolutely special by Joel embe this year. And look, Clint Capella can't cover him one on one. A few

people in this league can. But when he wanted to take him, when he wanted to bully and beat him off the dribble, beat him with the jump shot, jo Ellenbiad did whatever he wanted. So what do you do now? If you're Nate McMillan, I don't know. You have the luxury of being up on nothing. It could be a case of saying, well, let Joe Ellenbiad have his and we're up on nothing. We can see what happens. You

can go that way. You can go with the double and triple teams because Sixers didn't shoot the ball very well. You know, they have the luxury of being up one nothing, maybe they don't have to do anything. But if the series is going to continue on and Bead's going to dominate, Nate McMillan's going to have to do something, and it's probably going to be in the form of Bella Teams. Fellas, we got tea Max Pooch chatting up in the back

of you know what that means. That's my reminder. We're can make it back to this conversation a second, but I got to hit this. DraftKings. They are the official betting partner of your seventy sixers.

is settled. Going back to something that Tack and I talk a lot about Bob when we're on the air, the best thing about the NBA is the stars really shine through, and obviously this time of year, you're seeing some incredible star player performances, those who aren't hurt or dinged up, whether it's Luca and Kauai going at it back to back in that series that went to seven games between the Clippers and the Mavericks and in game

one between the seventy six and Hawks. If you're a fan of the game, and I I love listening to Huby Brown for a lot of reasons. I don't know how other people feel about him, but to me, I get a kick out of when he's like there you go like you don't ever hear announcers sound like they're rooting or have a rooting interest in a game. And he's not rooting for a team or a player. He's just rooting for the game being played the right way.

He's like, yeah, there you go, that's nice. Okay, like those sorts of things you hear from human He's doing that throughout the game on Sunday. But it's great when star players, I think are at their best. I mean, certainly, if you follow the Sixers, you want and you're a fan of the Sixers, you want them to take away

Trey Young. But seeing a game like that where Joel Embiid was outstanding, Trey Young outstanding, you want that as a fan of the game this time of year, sture and that's where the chess match starts, right, So you have the stars, Now what do the coaches do to

take it away? I was a little confused that Doc Rivers didn't look to take away Tray Young a little bit more yesterday, in an earlier fashion, they came out in the second half and put Ben Simmons on him, and then they started to jump the high pick and rolls later on, which I thought was good. Look tray Young six feet tall. I would look to smother him as much as you could. He got to do too much of what he does that makes him that star

that you're talking about, Brie. He got to do too much of that too easily in the first half, in my opinion, and I thought they waited just a little too long to take away what he does best. Joe Ellenbiad, on the other hand, did do what he does and continue to do it throughout the game. Now the chess match, like you said, Brian, the chess match now starts. What does Nate McMillan do to try to take away Joe ellenbid because I think we know what Doc Rivers has

to try to do to take away tray Young. Couple things regarding I think one of the adjustments might be they come with a bigger guy, but that would be Collins, like leaving Tobias who's typically lifted out on the opposite side of the floor. They came with Bogdanovitch early on, and he was hesitant, like he would come underneath the belly of the lane and not go all the way. I'm like, you not got the game plan? Are you

coming or you're not? And then again, like nobody can guard Joel, even Capella, who's very athletic, obviously good off the ball, shot blocker, extraordinary rebounder, dunker, put back guy, but not a one on one defender straight up with Joe, not even close. So that was a key thing and that's going to remain a factor in the series. Regarding Huby, unbelievable in his what eighties, and like I wanted that he was right by where we were broadcasting from it,

and I wanted to bow down in January Stocked. We had training camp there the one year and Huby came down with one of his friends. He drove down from North Jersey and watched practice and then after practice like he was going over something with one of our players, maybe actually a coach, and everybody in the gym swarmed over there like a clinic is breaking out and who be Brown is teaching basketball. That's that's how good he is.

And to your point, Brian, he appreciates the game. And you watch like as you say, you know, you watch on Twitter and everybody was weighing in about hub and his ability, So that that is he's just like our sport. You can always learn and if you think you can't like come on your kid yourself and you can continually grow in your knowledge of the game. And a guy like that puts it on a planner, especially for a national television audience where everybody's not steeped in the game

like basketball lifers. So that was excellent. And then Trey Young, like Bob, I think you're you're making a legitimate point and you're probably not the only guy that is stipulating that. They did put ben on him at the beginning of the third quarter. What happened, boom, he got a foul. So to me, part of the knowledge of this is how he plays. He's hooking, he's crafty. I mean on the thible review he followed, he's twice not the teeth founel he banged into him and then he hits him

of the elbow. Those are both fouls on Trey Young didn't get reversed, but I thought it certainly could have been a legitimate challenge by the sissors coach talked about defending with verticality, like made him shoot over the length. And the problem is with Trey Young, Oh okay, I'll just back up to twenty nine feet. He would have gone to FDR Park, but there was a flower show there, so he opted to go to the Patterson Subway station instead. But he can shoot the ball from rain and again.

And Bob, you had basketball players, you're a fine player yourself. That Ken the Catholic go Irish. But what his daddy taught him is, you know, like we all thought our kids like, no, no, shoot with the right form. His dad said, great, you got the form, get back, shoot

the bombs. And look what happened. He turned into Trey Young. Yeah, that's the thing where I know the people want to maybe look at his if they're trying to pick him apart and say, well, he shoots only this percentage from three, but he's not going to stop shooting, and he can hit from anywhere, which is what makes him so dangerous.

And if he is able to pull one of those insanely deep shots out of his bag like he did a different points in the first quart in the first half, those can be backbreaking at times, and you're just like, well,

what else can we do to him? But I would agree, I mean, obviously it looked like things were different with him as far as his success with how the Sixers approached defensively, in the second half, but yet he still was able to slither in make two big baskets back to back midway through the fourth quarter, which in a game that close, he still was able to make some impact plays down the stretch. So to me, he's really exciting. He seems extremely fearless. I just have a lot of

respect for him. I do. I think that if no one was watching the New York Knicks series, they certainly see what he's all about. Now. I was just gonna say, regarding Trey Young and regarding Joel and regarding the NBA playoffs, and I made this point earlier here at home, and that is like all postseason plays special, right. I mean, you can go on with the NFL and baseball and obviously hockey playoffs are awesome, but it's an incredible formula, right,

And as you say, these guys are stars. The talent is straordinary, right with Brooklyn and Kevin Durant, and the way it goes like something's gonna shake out, something's gonna be revealed, like in the Brooklyn Milwaukee series, like you're like, boy, these teams are so evenly Well, turns out Brooklyn's way better, at least in the first game, even without one of their best players. In the Sixers series, A, turnovers are

going to be a problem. Something gets revealed and we learned something through every game and that's why the series, the entire playoffs look around the league with the Luca versus the Clippers, and that's just it's unbelievable. It's a tableau of excitement and storylines and dramas. It's an incredible package of basketball at this time of the year. It's it's special to be a part of it. And now the Sixers need to hold serve and they lost to

home court advantage and now it's there. They got to get get it back, get back tie the series, go down there, steal a game and take it from there. Yeah, and you're right, Brian, it's Trey Young is becoming I said this on air this morning. Trey Young is becoming one of my favorite players to watch in the NBA. He's at exciting and back in the day when we were all together on the road, I loved watching Russell Westbrook live when he was back in Oklahoma City, just

the way he played Steve Nash. You know, just different guys in the league. You just your eye goes to them, you say, Wow, that's fun to watch Trey Young is that, And it's his passing ability, it's a shooting ability, it's his creativity off the dribble. There's just so much about him that I really like. I do think though, his strengths on offense play into the six or strengths defensively also, and that's perimeter defense and the length that they have

and enveloping him. They have to do a better job of just covering him. And I don't mean, you know, covered, but I mean envelop him and don't let him get to where he wants to be as easily as he did on Sunday. Am I off base on this? I was trying to think of it. I'm sure the people have thrown this out there. That's me. Trey seems like you could be the spawn of if Iverson and Curry had a love child, Steph Curry. That is am I totally off there? Your psychic or psycho. But yeah, you're right.

The love child thing threw me off a little bit. But no, like, what you're saying is the evolution of the game right like again, And I made this point and I've talked about it with Coach Rivers who played point guard in the NBA. But the handle has been around forever, right, guys with incredible dribbling ability. You're got to Pete Maravich and even in this day, Kouzi or Tiny Archibald or on and on and on, right Isaiah Thomas. But it's the way they do it now with the

step back, the gather, the depth. Nobody's been shooting from range like this other than World be Free back in the day. But you wouldn't think of him as having an incredible handle, so that ai he had the shiftiness or whatever like like for a young player looking at Trey Young as you say, he's what six feet six one five, But it's the decision making, the hand eye coordination, the fast twitch fibers, the whole package, and then getting

back into the game and the analysis. Bob's talking about swarming him and Ben try to do it and spoke postgame about you know, being fit if the refs will let me be six ten. Well, he's so fast and squirmy and weakly off the dribble that you know you try to get into him. First of all, you can't hand check him at all. You touch him out beyond the foul line, you're getting a foul. I think that's part of what the Sixers, as I mentioned, we're concerned with.

I think you're right. They might have to run two at him, make him give up the ball. He will get it back. That's the other thing when you mentioned Curry with the ball movement and all that and off the ball actions, he's the energizer bunny. He keeps moving when three guys in the gym are still guard him, and he still gets forty. That's what these players today do and that's something that young players can learn from

as well. But to the point about Simmons trying to be physical with him, you reach out to get physical with him, and he's by you, and now he's got you. And that's the other thing that today's players do, right, They iss Smith, all these guys. They get you on their hip, they get you inside, and now you're behind him. One of the fundamental tenants of basketball is to stay between the man with the ball and the basket, and

that's where he's got you in a bind. Yeah, And it's another thing we had a lot of people saying to us today, can't they just get their hands up and make Trey Young shoot over well, Trey Young, like you said, Tom, Trey Young is so good with the basketball. It's someone that has a ball. Once I see somebody stand up straight, I got you. And so as much as you want to Ben Simmons at six tend to stand up straight and get his hands up, once Trey Young sees him going up straight and keeps his dribble,

forget it. He's by you. You have to stay down on him to try to negate his quickness. And then once you rise to you if you once you start to go up, forget it, he's already passed you. So it's almost impossible to just vertically get up as easily as we would want it to happen. It's just he's that good. Right. One other fundamental this is a billy lane.

And I'm sure it's been said before, but we all think about basketball played above the rims, no doubt pretty hard to stop values right, but with Bob's talking to you get lifted out of your fans. The axiom that Coach Lang would talk about, and that is lowest man wins. Basketball is about balance and leverage, and the second that you lift out, I mean these guys can do it. With an eyebrow fake. They got you, and that's what

he does. He gets you off balance, off center and then he's weaving and like I said, and then I thought to that point, their decision making was Warriors esque when they put Draymond Green on the elbow and he's got KD, he's got step, he's got Clay. They were moving the ball around like that. When it's like an eight armed octopus, how do you stop him? And that's where they put the Sixers in that situation early in

that game. All great points, guys. Yeah, to me, one of the things that concern me the most in the first six minutes of the game, eight minutes of the game wasn't anything with the scoring of Trey Young and said he had five assists in eight minutes, and I'm like, oh, he hasn't even gotten started scoring the ball yet. He's just slicing dice and getting that ball movement. They're a team that can pass well. They really were able to move it pretty well, and it definitely caught the Sixers

on their heels early. The adjustment. I think looking ahead to Game two, listen, is it possible that Atlanta shoots twenty threes in the game again. Perhaps could the Sixers only hit ten threes in a game? Again, perhaps free throws made turnovers for the Sixers. They sound like very easy things to circle on a box score, but to me, those are the two areas that you got to tighten up going into Game two. Agree and the turnovers fascinated me. That looked like a young fourth seeded team to the

first seeded team. That's what the Sixers look like in that first quarter yesterday. Offensive fouls, lazy giveaways. Ben Simmons with a power dribble inside that he doesn't pick up and it goes over his head. It was just it was confusing to me. The way they played in the first half. That wasn't a Sixers team that I had seen before this year, and even carry it into the third quarter, it was It was kind of mind boggling

what was going on with that team yesterday. The goodness that Tom pointed out earlier, they did finish strong, and I think that's the Sixers team we're going to see for the rest of the series. I think they win this series. I think they win tomorrow night also, But they have to be fundamentally sound and it can't be a look you have to scheme if you're Doc Rivers now. Yesterday, to me it seemed like, at least for the first half,

all right, guys, you're the better team. Go out there and play, and before you know it, you're down twenty six and twenty at a half, and then you made adjustments. I hope tomorrow night they go into the game with the adjustments in hand what they're going to do with Trey Young and offensively have a little bit of a

better scheme. But they scored one hundred and twenty four points, so offensively they weren't that bad, which is exactly in line with what they averaged in the first five games of playoffs against the Wizards, one hundred and twenty five points.

Relative to the turnovers. That has been and I've talked about this before and then I want to be the downer guy, but that has been the Sixers issue at times in the playoffs, where not only because the points off of it ended up being maybe minus four, but again, you lost the game by four, but you're losing all those possessions. At one point they had eight more possessions.

Just real quickly, Brian, you mentioned Trey Young with the assists of his five assists, like three of them were for threes, so he had accounted for he had only made two baskets at the beginning, but he had accounted for the flight the first fourteen points of the game. So Boby got the US open had on. You're talking about falling behind by twenty points at intermission. What happens is when you play golf, Oh man, I'm pressing here. Well, squeezing the club doesn't make it go farther, all right,

You're just gonna slice it even more. So that's where the Sixers did. They overtried a little bit. That's where the charges come in. That's where George Hill loses eye side of the ball and flips it out of bounds. I mean, your top three players had twelve or thirteen of the turnovers in Tobias, Joel, and Ben, so that they have to get that down and to Bob's point, they were much better at it this season. There were games where you look down and they only have eight

or nine. You know, sometimes you have so double digit turnovers in the first half, and that can you want to be a championship team that cannot happen. I feel like there was a good enough sample size, and granted, the regular season is not the playoffs, but I thought there was enough evidence during the regular season for now that we can say the Sixers or a team that's had its metal tested. They finished strong and fourth quarters,

they found ways to win games. But this is really the first time that they're going to feel some a little bit of pressure like this is this is going to be some pressure, I think. I think it's certainly a manageable situation given the experience and the talent and the coaching they have. But you're at home, you're down O one. You certainly don't want to go to Atlanta down oh two because then it gets real. Yeah, and if you know, if you really believe that you're an

MVP candidate Joel Embiid, you take over this game. And if you think you're a defensive Player of the Year Ben Simmons, well then you make your mark on that end of the floor with a tre Young and try to, you know, do something there to help the team out. Yeah, this is a good thing for these guys. It's okay, like this is where they are in their progression. I really don't count last year's playoff rount, so just take it to two years prior Ben Simmons's first playoff run,

they win a series, they lose to Boston. His second playoff runt, together with Joe LMB, they lose on a quadrupleed doink to the eventual champions. I don't count last year. Okay, this is your natural next progression. You're expected to win this second round. You lost the first game. You have a little bit of pressure on you. You do have KG veterans around you and guys that have all been through this before. But it falls on your shoulders. So to me, it's good. Have at it. Here you go,

Ben and Joel, this is your team. Go get it, Go get it in this adversity that you've created for yourself in game one, right, and again, these are the NBA playoffs. Nobody said it was gonna be easy. It's not easy. It's hard, and this is as you say, this is adversity. We go back to the Coach Rivers line from when the playoff seeding was, you know, taking place with the top seed in Brooklyn and whatnot. There

are no accidental champion? Is it the easier side of the bracket, and then you're not in with Milwaukee and Brooklyn probably so because those were two and three in terms of the seedings. But guess what, like I said Atlanta, they're not looking at the number four or five next to them or whatever. They're here to win. So this

is it. And look those guys you don't count last year, but the sour taste lingers and fuel of the Tobias Harrises and the duel and I know Ben didn't play, but these guys, there's unfinished business here and so and this is it and again and now you have to play, as you say, with the experience that you've built up, it matters. It's like collective team muscle memory. They've come back to win, and they won twenty nine home games.

They've done it multiple dozens of times. But with twenty road wins and the at home floor twenty nine times multiple times, you're gonna be tested. There are going to be runs. These other guys are really good also. So here it comes like you say, you want to have a special season. You've got a great group, and they do. And now you got to respond and go with the results. I'm ready, let's go Game two, Let's play. Let's play Monday night, seven thirty. Who's waiting for Tuesday, not me

play at noon. Let's go other than Joel probably needs a couple Yes, all right, excellent fellas. Great to do it in three zoom boxes even if we couldn't do it in person. Thanks so much. See a team mac all right. Yes. Back when I started with the seventy six Ers in twenty fifteen, the ten wins season. Excellent
