I'm After a promising first half for the

After a promising first half for the Sixers in South Philly against the Dallas Mavericks,

the second half, not so kind as they get outscored by 20 points fall to the Mavs tonight.

And hey, things are starting to go in the other direction.

But the direction that you should always be in after game is right here, like you are right now.

PHLY six is post game

welcome i'm divine givens alongside derrick bodner kyle newbeck at the arena we'll tap in with

kyle a little bit later and brie here producing as always you you are here let's talk about it

because this one of course was interesting six is up after two going into halftime,

and you're looking at things, nice balance, good defense overall. Luca Donchit's not really going

off. Same for Kyrie Irving. They're getting a big number from Josh Green for the Dallas Mavericks,

and then the second half comes in the third quarter, which has been a problem spot sometimes for the Sixers,

but when Joel Lombita's on the floor, maybe not so much. That's when they start to blow teams out, but he's not there to bail them out. There are a few other things that were problematic in this one, and we'll talk about it all as we break it down for you here on the postgame show. Derek, good to be back, of course, during the start of a week, four games this week. We got a big trade deadline show on Thursday, but to start things off here, promising again, as I said, to start the game off and then the third quarter happened. Yeah, and look, we want to mention that real quickly right off the bat. Thursday, 2 to 4 p.m. we will be at chicken or the egg in Marlton. Just want to make sure you're all aware of that.

We'd love to see your wonderful faces and personalities and talk some basketball with you. Yes. Because I think we might need to commiserate with some of the fine people who watch the show because the basketball we are watching right now is not great. It is not great. So we might have to commiserate about that.

Yeah.

Depending on what happens with Wednesday against Golden State.

But your thoughts in this one?

I mean, I know I said a lot, but there's so much to break down.

I mean, it is, it's just, it is so hard to watch this team offensively right now.

And when you look at it and what do they end up with?

29 three point attempts in the year 2024. A lot of them came late. That is just not enough.

And I thought they, especially in the first half, they did some things well enough to like, hey,
