Monday night edition of the show not a ton of drama in today's games

Although Philly does live to find another day

So we'll talk about that one in some detail not too much probably on Toronto and Cleveland

And then we got to talk about the offseason for the Detroit pistons and maybe even another one

We'll see if we how much time it takes us to get through all that stuff

Detroit I feel like could take us a long time or not very much depending on how much we want to get into the stan van

Gunny news and how they got to this point which has been well covered so maybe we won't do that

Anyway, let's talk basketball here Philly 103 Boston 92 they lived to fight another day

TJ McConnell inserted into the starting lineup for Robert Covington and that was a brilliant move from Brett Brown

Plus 18 for McConnell career high playoffs or regular season 19 points 9 to 12 from the field five assists

To me the biggest difference in this game was the aggressiveness that McConnell played with and he was going after Terry Rosier

Consistently and getting to his spots more often than I expected and it reminded me of just how

Passive Ben Simmons has been in a lot of this series. I think Simmons will add that into his game a little bit more

It was more present in the regular season

But McConnell played with an urgency that the sixers needed and it helped them push a little bit more

But also just it created more seams in the defense that I think had been there before though

That was also helped by the foul trouble. Let's put it that way

Yeah, I think that was helpful

But to me the sixers earned a lot of those files because for the first time in the series

They were clearly the more aggressive team the team that played harder in this series of whether that was McConnell attacking off the dribble

You know, I thought Boston's man-to-man defense was really bad

Just you know whether it was because they got distracted by fake screens that were coming up like McConnell blew by Rosier in the half court
