I'm I'm All right. Welcome everybody back to the PHLY Sixers postgame show. I wish we had better news for you.

Unfortunately, the Sixers fell to the Western

Conference leading Minnesota Timberwolves 112 to 99 here. The Sixers fourth loss in the last six

games. They did so on this one without Jewel and Bede. How you doing, Kyle? Well, we do have a nice

beverage for the show.

It's a Thanksgiving Eve. That's only one, though. You've got to drive later. This is a- to be responsible. This is a PHLY-6-R-R-E's first. This is the first time we will have a drink on the show. I'd love to say it's because it is Thanksgiving Eve. If I'm being honest, I think we came to this conclusion about midway through the first quarter when they were playing like they were. But yeah, that was a tough one. And look, you knew this was going to be a tough one. Even if Joanne Bid played, you knew this was going to be a tough one. Minnesota, if you haven't been paying attention, they are no joke. I think they had the number two ranked defense in a league coming into it.

When you have a back-to-back scheduled, when you have the size that the Sixers are going against, that was going to be a tough game. And when it was announced that Ywell and B would miss it because of left hip soreness, we'll go with that, probably a little bit rest too, because it is a back-to-back. he hadn't missed the game all year.

Again, it was going to be real tougher than overcoming.

You needed a huge monster performance from tyrese maxi you needed your veterans to play like veterans you need your three-point shots to go in

and again three-point shooting probably is one of things that leaves you the quickest when you are

on a back-to-back with tired legs and none of that happened.

Tyrese Maxie was bad and it happens every now and then, but he was not good here tonight.

The Sixers veterans were made some of the most mind-boggling passes I've ever seen,

and a Sixers shot seven for 32 from three-point range.

None of it is what you needed to pull out a win here.

I appreciate the uh the lively

commenters tonight cj says this is his first game that he checked out on saw marcus maris was the

starting center realize i had better stuff to do with my time r j's already demanding a zach levin trade

tomorrow so you know everyone is real just rational and

one gaming this this whole thing i would say this to start is that it was very clear early on

that this was not going to be their night so if you were the sort of person who came in thinking

i'll watch it in the first quarter, see how things go.
