Jim Lynam “IMPRESSED” Embiid, Maxey, and Harris combine for 97 PTS help 76ers beat Raptors 121-111

Saw another bit of History here in Philadelphia so we welcome you to Sixers postgame live brought to you by Cur a insurance Amy fidu alongside the coach Jim Liam and our Big Man Mark Jackson and it’s never happened in Philadelphia because the last time three Sixers players scored 30 or more points they’re

In Syracuse they were known as the Syracuse Nationals it was 1961 Jim you’re looking at how Greer Dolph Shay and Dick Barnett Tobias Harris an absolute stunning game for him one of his best and if not in the last couple years obviously Tyrese Maxi and Joel and

Beid yeah the three of them uh just really were lights out and I think uh in a in a way I think um that Harris set the tone the way he got off he was so aggressive I think he had 24 points the first half and when you get one of your

Players that’s on fire like that you know other guys obviously can play off him Mark Jackson was the last time we saw something like this and Jolan beid wasn’t the leading scorer he’s just ho hum just 31 for him exactly Amy but let me tell you something I’ll take the buas

Being aggressive all any given night shots listen he came in determin tonight to get his and put his his label in this game and that propelled everybody and here’s the fact here’s the proof everyone can eat look at this three guys are 30 so it’s not like we have to defer

Everyone can eat in this game Tobias started off this game while Jo was in single digits for most of the first half and he came through at the end listen everyone can eat there plenty of shots for everyone yeah and you just pointed out very accurately a 23 shots T night I

Look pre game cuz the bias obviously hasn’t been scoring at the level that the Sixers need over the past five games he averaged eight shots a game wow not enough he got to get some somewhere in between happy medium yeah you’re looking at all over all three times that almost

And also it was interesting because Nick Batum was out no pad Bev available DeAnthony Melton was out so you’re wonder if Tobias Harris was like okay well now I really have to pick up my scoring because all the role players that have been you know really good Supporting Cast for this the Sixers

Squad are not there tonight because he was feeling a little bit off you there was a game just a couple of games ago where he was one for three and you’re looking at one for six Jim just pointed out maybe they talk to him about being more aggressive Mark listen I don’t know

What happened I don’t know who talk to him keep talk to him every game listen Tobias we love you brother we know how good of a play you are I think sometimes that I think sometimes if things are not he’s such a con professional that sometimes if things necessarily call for

Him he he doesn’t like to go out of the system but like this is proof that and I’m quite sure ni nurse going show this look to buas you shot 20 something shots and Maxi andell still eight so this lets you know you it’s okay go be aggressive

We pra to be aggressive than not aggressive absolutely uh well Tobias Harris of course was the player of the game here he is with Taran Hatcher Tobias it was about a year ago today after a game against Toronto that you told me to tell a friend to tell a

Friend that you are a sharpshooter you had 21 points and four rebounds in that game tonight a season High 33 points a season High five threes a season High seven assists and eight rebounds if you were a sharpshooter in that one how do we begin to describe what you were able

To do tonight you know just uh you know I embrace my teammates out there giving me a lot of confidence going into the game and just being free out there and playing um I thought tonight was just a overall effort of that of just going out

There and just laying it all out on the floor being aggressive got to be in a couple lineups out there where I could bring the ball up and get some actions and uh that that that overall just paid off for for myself and for our team today when I was talking to assistant

Coach Rico Hines at half he said he loved how aggressive you were being in this game he felt like you were just seeing the court so well what was it that allowed you to be so aggressive tonight it was really Joel you know like there was so many actions he was trying

To get me in through the course of the game especially early and he’s just you know pushing me to be aggressive out there and let it fly and you know that just instilled a whole lot in me to just continue to do it out there you know he draws so much

Attention and uh you know Tyrese out there as well and we got off to a slow start and you know a lot of those actions just came our way and was able to take advantage of them and um the biggest thing was just having the right energy and mindset all all throughout

The game and finally speaking of that we just see Tyrese out here teasing you it just seems like you guys are having so much fun playing together this year how would you describe the bond this team has and how it’s helping you successful right now to well you know the team is

Put together with uh you know 17 guys who all have a great personalities and just a great spirit to them about playing basketball everybody has come come from great families and you know we we come together and we play this game we enjoy it we embrace the fans that

Come out and support us and um we love to compete and coming in this Arena every night feeling that energy you know we know we got to protect our home court we also we enjoy doing it well congrats on the Wind Sharpshooter thanks for the time all right happy

Holidays happy holidays indeed they are having fun the fans were certainly into it tonight and why not this was a you know a better Raptor team that probably that their record belies we talked about the Sixers taking care of business with teams under 500 this team is better than

That obviously they always have a little bit extra I think to play with the same you know countrymen with Pascal seak and Jolan be and obviously and Nick nurse connection too but Sixers really felt the brunt of it and they answered the Bell yeah that I thought Toronto did a

Very good job the first half but I have my doubts whether they’d be able to sustain scoring with the 76ers particularly at that pace of the game and uh the Sixers as they normally do you know you can hang around for the first half but once they tighten that

Defense late third quarter going into the fourth they normally P pull away well let’s check out tobias’s night because uh he says tell a friend tell a friend that I am a shooter and he is because Mark you’ve been preaching this you want him to be Uber aggressive 23

Shots says that he is aggressive but it seemed like from the jump he just had a little extra and I’m wondering if there was just maybe the the spirit of practice yesterday or knowing that you they didn’t have the the extra bench help maybe what do you think it was

Sometimes players realize sometimes they just go through the motions they kind of just go through the system the way the game is played on that day but every now that you’re like come on man today the day man I got to step it up I got to be

Ultra aggressive and you go out your way and like I said it’s rare that you see to buy as breaker or don’t do necessarily come out trying to go for his own he’s looking for the game to come to him which we taught as players you’re Tau as players to let the game

Come to you but every now then you got to go take it you got to go take the game from from what you and what you want from it and I really think he did that tonight it was fun to see him had this type of game because Jim you know

You talked about it the numbers that he had in the beginning the first 10 games were unsustainable for really almost anybody except for maybe chol it was nice to see him kind of get back to that there’s got to be some kind of happy medium I would think between where we

Saw him the last couple of games and then this game yeah that’s what I’d like to see and uh I think again you can’t overstate how important Joel embiid plays into all this he’s so engaged in every aspect of the play of this team and you heard Tobias make reference to

That I saw like a couple times on the court like Joel motioning like trying to set a pick and tell obviously Tobias Harris doesn’t run a lot of pick and roll I Macky that’s his job but Joe was like really once he realized that bias

Had it going he was really trying to do what he could to help him have an even bigger game yeah Tyrese Maxi with 10 assists and I think he really was responsible for a lot of those we have a great stat for you coming up about how

Many players or how many teams have had 30 point performers three of them and then all three have seven or more assists make sure you stay tuned for that it’s going to come courtesy of Ruben Frank but there it is clap your hands everybody it’s a special holiday
