00:00Some people feel like Philly missed their chance.
00:06I'm curious where you land on the idea that the Sixers lost that series yesterday and
00:12it's over.
00:13I don't think they lost a series, but I'm going to bring up something that people may
00:17think is crazy.
00:20If Philadelphia won that game yesterday, you at least in the first two games won a split.
00:28Would you have considered with only one day in between and then two days in between games
00:34two and three, would you have considered sitting JoJo because you got the split to get to game
00:41three?
00:42Two days off between games two and three, two days off between games three and four.
00:47I don't think they lost the series.
00:50I do think you're not going to get this out of Brunson again.
00:54He looked fatigued.
00:56He looked sped up.
00:57I think Kelly Oubre did a good job defensively.
01:00You're not getting an 8-for-26 out of Brunson the rest of the series.
01:04If it is, I'm stuck.
01:06I think Nick Nurse did the right thing though.
01:09McBride?
01:10Okay.
01:11Let him score.
01:13Josh Hart?
01:14Ten made threes last year in 11 playoff games.
01:17He made four yesterday, even though I told everybody to take Josh Hart to make a three
01:22because you're going to make him shoot.
01:25So to me, Philadelphia played the game perfectly.
01:29They just, Joelle kind of fumbled down the stretch and I'm concerned about Joelle really
01:33quick Kevin, because in the fourth quarter, in the second half, it was primarily from
01:38the perimeter.
01:39He's got to take Mitchell Robinson down low.
01:42Mitchell Robinson will fall for every jump fake under the sun.
01:45Get him in the air, get the shot fake, get to the foul line.
01:49I thought too much perimeter JoJo, particularly in the fourth quarter.
