Well, glad you tuned in for the Mias Cater game tonight as the Sixers fall to the Celtics final score. And this one,

still don't know how it was as close as it was, but it was in fact a 114.98 final score. Welcome to

the Ph.L.Y Sixers postgame show live from the X-Finity studio along with Derek Howe. I'm Devon.

Bree is the president of basketball operations.

Thanks to all of you hanging out with us for a 1049 start time on a Sunday night after the Sixers

and Celtics go at it. We are presented by Bet365. Whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at Bet365.

We'll get to the player of the game shortly here as we talk about the player of the game.

And this one, we will also bring you a big takeaway.

You mean other than Nemeas K.

Yes.

Presented by Xfinity and an unsung hero that we have to sort through here tonight and we'll discuss that person or players

or team at length here on the show. The six is now 33 and 27 after tonight's final score. Once

again, 1148. The main thing as we start things off here on the program here tonight, not enough help from the supporting cast for Maxie and Edgecombe and a weird close game tonight.

And oh, by the way, Derek, offensive glass hurt them again.

Yeah, like you're calling it a close game.

And through like the first three and three quarters quarters, I agree with you. Like I kept looking up and you're like, how is this a six-point game? How is this a nine-point game? They never really got all the way there, but they kept it relatively close. And then the wheels just completely fell off in the last couple of minutes. It was like the last two and a half minutes after that edge cone play. It was what, seven point game at that point? Yeah, the challenge. No, I mean, look, I think this can be summed up by really two things. Because I thought the defensive effort, especially in the first half, was pretty strong. You just didn't get enough for Maxie in the first half, point blank shot, I think four for 18 from the field,

was not good enough. The shots weren't good enough, even when he got good looks, he wasn't converting it. And then defensive glass just absolutely killed you. It absolutely, you cannot

give up 19 offensive rebound in the Celtics who only missed 51 shots. And it just felt like

every time the Celtics got a floorboard that went back out to an open three right away.

Like of the 49 threes that the Celtics took, I'd love to see how many of them came off of their own offensive rebounds.

Because it just felt like every time the six were caught flat-footed, every time the sixers were caught, you know, looking at the rebound, it burned them time in time again.

And it was wildly frustrating because you're like, all right,
