Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia 76ers Full Highlights 3rd QTR| Jan 16| 2024 NBA Regular Season

At the other end Philly or Denver Philly’s got to do a much better job on a defensive glass 10 offensive rebounds for Denver and only 10 defensive rebounds for Philly joic has seven offensive rebounds but emid has not been on him he’s either been in the middle of a two3 zone or

Guarding Aaron Gordon and that’s been free reain for joic to get to the glass embiid with 23 points seven assists joic 158 and three and jic pulls down the board Murray out in front and there is Gordon as the nuggets in transition get an easy two so this run here for Denver

Extending to 90 it was a 70 run to finish the first half both teams giving up their season high in points in a half Denver it had been 71 Philadelphia had been 75 pair of 78s on the board in the first half joic t WS it out to Murray there’s

What you’re talking about another offensive rebound for the Nuggets what he’s on inbi I mean he’s on Batum not inbi Porter is fouled that turnaround jump hook came up short but Maxi win up underneath him but look with the matchups being what they are joic has just been able to use his

Size to great success on the glass free throws here for Michael Porter Jr Ali leforce had a chance to visit with Michael Malone what’ you learn Ally well to your point Brian coach Malone said we didn’t play any defense we have to defend the three-point line we have to defend in

Transition and without fouling and he just looked at me and said the first team that decides to play anounce of Defense in this game is probably going to win this game true yeah I I don’t think though Ally that the defense was that bad the offense was that good and I

Will say this for the defense everybody’s out of their comfort zone the match s are all different we see Pope right there called well Pope on embiid so Jin’s trying to close to the corner there on Tobias Harris these two centers are both so good that it has

Taken two defensive teams to totally change their matchups and how they play and that’s not easy how do you match up against the unguardable forces it embiid and yic Nuggets cannot convert tied at 81 one here come the Sixers Joel MB guarded by Porter drawing contacts do is this their window right

Now they are certainly Championship contenders but do they need a piece or two or do they need to elevate what they have look I I don’t think that there’s a lot they need and they certainly have the third piece with Harris Jamal Murray trying to slip one

Between embiid and Harris and the thing is when Philly gets the Anthony Melton back then UB comes off the bench so they’ve got a good two-way guy off the bench as Gordon gets another dunk a quarter of his field goal attempts this year are dunks DeAnthony Mel now with a back

Injury missing backto Back Games it played in a couple of games before missing three in a row and that is a significant piece back for them as Maxi true on the three-point Gordon just runs back at him before he even puts it on the floor too easy and Maxi’s too good a

Shooter you’ve at least got to wait to come on the dribble on that it is fascinating to watch these matchups defensively the changing that both coaches the adjustments they’re making Michael Malone and Nick nurse have seen an offensive flurry on both sides Maxi hits his first shot UB picks up his third

Foul right there here’s Jamal Murray got Harris on him gets away from him on the screen and Murray Missed It Wide Open you don’t see Murray Miss many of those no you don’t but again total confusion there by Philly on what they wanted to do look I

Think it’s hard you don’t have a lot of preparation time in the regular season certainly Philly played yesterday and you’re not playing your normal schemes and your normal matchups because of the greatness of these two big guys but you just wonder if you wouldn’t be better

Off at this point just going back and playing your normal defense so that guys are playing more than thinking out here Maxi limping a little bit on the screen from yic here’s calwell pop little floater is good well the Sixers injuries two pieces that are out big pieces in the Anthony

Meldon a starter and Robert Covington and Ali laforce those are two pieces that the Sixers are hopeful to get back soon and here’s the update Melton missed Monday’s game because of his Lumber spine injury so he had come back for three games played in two actually after

Missing three came back Monday he’s back on the sidelines because Nick nurse wants to take a long-term approach okay He’s listed out for sure for the team’s next three games at least for Robert Covington they thought he was close with the knee inflammation but he didn’t

Practice on Sunday they have not had his Services since December 30th but those are two huge pieces that add depth to this team yeah good point Ally thank you is yic another offensive rebound and a putback so just kind of diving back in coach to the roster the Personnel for the

Sixers I I look I think the Personnel is fine for the Sixers I don’t think they have any holes I think when Melton and Covington are back they have great depth their issue is simple is Joel mbid going to produce in the playoffs he simply has

It you know they fired Brett Brown they ran Ben Simmons out of town they fired Doc Rivers it’s always somebody else’s fault and we don’t have enough the bottom line is the Joel embiid for that has played in the regular season is not the Joel embiid that is played in the playoffs he

Averages four fewer points a games he averages fewer rebounds he averages fewer assists and he only shoots 46% and 28% from three if he doesn’t play more like the regular season embiid they’ll go out early again if he plays like what we’re seeing this year they can make a

Deep Run in the playoffs yeah it goes back to what Joelle told Ali leforest before the game that it is a build towards the playoffs for him beid as he goes strong or even questions on joic before last year in Denver in the playoff run the only way you’re going to

Answer those questions is Joel embiid’s going to have to come through when it matters most and that will be a story for was embiid maybe the game that got him that mvp scored 47 18 rebounds against the Nuggets last year is that good job coach and the and the

Crowd is chanting his name for that he gets the Maxi chant and unlike embiid Maxi was terrific in the playoffs great move there by embiid dishes to Harris who sticks the landing on a three and that’s EDS 10th assists tonight 16 for Tobias ni assist Sixers have opened up

An eight-point lead now a turn over yic Maxi On The Run gives it to embiid who gives it right back Maxi denied by Murray baseball pass up ahead Batum running the floor what a sequence here is Porter no Gordon no jokic denied by Batum two offensive rebounds the nuggets come up

Empty UB no wow what a pace biggest lead by either team here it has been a closely contested
