Inside the NBA discuss 76ers 2-0 Series Lead vs Nets | 2023 NBA Playoffs

everything Ned said coach Jacques Vaughn pitching double teams against Joe LM beat all day in game one kept him seven points below his average of 33 points per game, but the Sixers broke a franchise record 21-3s and Brooklyn allowed 31 points on turnovers in a 20-point loss Monday night. Vaughn doubled down on those double-teams as the Nets tried to tie the

series

and snap a seven-game losing streak as the

playoffs

headed to Philly, one of Chuck's homes, yes for the highlight Mikhail Bridges had 30 in the opener in an effort to lose James Harden in seven three of that franchise record 21 and Joelle of course facing all of those teams doubles, it was the same deal tonight Shaq was the same deal tonight and you know he does the right thing and he doesn't try to fight and give his guys kids.

He didn't look good in the first half. In the second half, they picked it up. Especially some respect in the W. Just eight points on two of five shots. in the first he had 15 rebounds cam johnson and brooklyn were hitting their shots in the first half yeah and this guy is so soft in the first half in the first half yeah in the first half he had uh he had 20 oh, what's happening? 49- 44 Brooklyn at halftime Brooklyn but then the Nets score 14 points oh god we go Tobias Harris ahead of the pack and then embiid weaving his hoop weight his first bucket since 335 in the first quarter Tyrese Maxie was the story yeah what It's already 31, uh, it was close to 31, actually it was 33.

Okay, yeah, 6 of 13 from Deep Hardin connect from deep. much longer doing that if they don't duplicate joel and beat well they would win at least they stayed in the game was oh someone wanted a cookie yes i want a chance to win ok you lose about 12 you had no chance to win yes you did and accounts that ended with 2019 and seven at any time they did. I don't care if he takes that shot right there, just shake his hand. when they scored fewer than 100 points, it's one and six now and it's eight straight losses for Brooklyn in the postseason. strategy to

lead

the game as Doc Rivers implored his players to trust his original game plan from game one and that resulted in a third quarter win holding the

lead

for the remainder we have outside of ourselves in the first half I thought that we were lucky We were trying you don't know anything selfish but we were trying to score everyone but this is what players are all about sometimes it will test your confidence and that was an early test for us and we got to the last game where they had 19. more shots than us and it's the same today so I think it's progress from our group we just gotta do it for four quarters bro we did it for two man we'll do it for four do we need other people step forward? at home yes, we do it well.

I'll take Evan. I'll take them all. Anyone you want to sign up. Put them on the list. I'll bookmark that. We need everyone to show up and be ready to play. What did you do? do a physical nature you know I used to play basketball that's all I'm going to say you know the first time I actually said that you guys can see what the game is going to be called it's going to be a physical game so Sam when we left he said you should be ashamed of yourself for saying i could see you nodding and you nodding sam i like that too he said you know i hate sixes came out low on energy uh you need it when you don't want to to give a team hope that let's have the best team in our building we're just going to stomp them don't give them confidence because brooklyn knows they're not going to win the

series

but you never want to give them hope but you also want to finish these games asap because the only thing i said before was that we had two major injuries, you just don't want to take any chances, so finish these games as quickly as possible, get enough rest, that's the main thing. thing, yeah, I was just curious and I think we mentioned this before, they doubled the pace all the time in the first half of that game, they had the lead at the third quarter halftime, they moved away from that and I was wondering why.

Is this one of these where a coach says they're going to make an adjustment to this, so we're going to leave? I didn't, I just didn't follow them. half on the bunt was doubles second half there wait till he got into his move double and then you know Philly got hot in the second half but you know I think Brooklyn must do and everybody talks about doing adjustments after the game sometimes. as a player you have to make adjustments late game, as i play with a lot of shooters, the shot doesn't work D Scott can miss two shots, he's going to drop his head, get to the line, pass the free throw, go back, played with Glenn Wright so you know I play a B shot a Big Shot Bob so in Brooklyn just the first half felt good looked good and the second half just kept shooting but you have to do adjusters in the game if you're yelling. falling you know you definitely have to do something else yeah I think overall Ernie your point was pretty valid because it wasn't maybe it wasn't a hit you know first of all let's start here brooklyn is on demand playing philadelphia sure the young trade in the middle of the season are trying to figure things out they had a chance to stay in the game and then anything could happen you know that's what you want to do they were in the game kind of like what was Jack Vaughn Speaking of hey you say yeah personally no yeah but I thought I thought at one point he got a little tricky he said ok let's take it off for a second bring it back put it away, Charles, you said.

I'd have to shake his hand if he made a shot like that. You know what you'd be doing all night, yeah, because he's going to hit tough shots. They got the leading scorer in the NBA because he not only makes open shots, but he also makes tough shots. to back up you know the first guy to do it since uh ball McAdoo so like a senate post so he's you know you didn't you didn't go back to back chat back to back what score champs no you don't you did Bob McAdoo was the last one to get it right.

I have one, right? You have one, yes, one is not two fools, it does not matter, one does not qualify because one after the other you mentioned my name. I didn't mention everyone who won the scoring channel. oh man mention my name otherwise I didn't like the strategy Ernie none of the games to be honest with you because in the first game they only did shots in the first half they didn't do shots in the second half, they made shots. Whatever your strategy against Joel and B in Philips, well, it would make them get 50 on the night.

I'd go to a zone late, but I'll have Joelle get me 50. Here's what I'd do. Two things I would do. let him go one-on-one on the other end and get 50 but on the other end I'm going to put him on the pick and roll every time because he's going to have to work hard to get that 50 and I'm going to make him play that pick and roll if you go back and look at the first half of the game which is when you succeed putting him on the pick and roll that's because whenever the cam went off or Mikhail was wide uncle Joel gold backs off like all big men do that's how they get off to a good start , so I'll let it go one by one and if he confirms he'll get 35 anyway so that's my point if God will average 35 Chuck will get 50 it's just 10 15 10 I know but he won't but look that It's the key.

I don't know. Maxi is receiving. Those guys are shooting jump shots. They failed them early. They did them in game one and set a record. they missed a few today but then in the second half they got going. I don't want Maxi Hardin Tobias Harris. They're not even shooting hard jump shots. that was the difference in the game in my opinion game three is Thursday night in Brooklyn on TNT by the way the teams that are two nothing up best of seven 308 and 26 that's a percentage of 90 percent wins, did you know it was Underdog? tell you underdog told me i mean how many crosses were followed up scoring time including shaq ok just one second i got one yeah that's not two that's not back to back.
