GET UP | “Joel Embiid back to back MVP” – Jay Williams on 76ers beat Nuggets 126-121; Embiid 41 Pts

Understand what’s going on by the way we talked about uh the matchup last night of the NBA I just want to point something out here with this the Sixers and the Nuggets give the Sixers credit they win 1261 uh 21 it was the game of

The night in the NBA embiid at 41 in this game yic at 25 am I supposed to care that em no no I I I love the NBA you guys know I would talk about NBA 247 I love it it’s not about that it’s if we’re going to take the Cowboys approach

Of wake me up in the playoffs the bills cool you beat the Chiefs in the regular season beat them Sunday which they may I’m not they’re not going to I don’t care if Joel embiid gets big regular season wins and the Sixers get big regular season wins it’s a compliment to

Him Joel you’re an MVP you’re a first ballot Hall of Famer you’re going to go down as one of the great players to ever play this sport can you get to a Conference Finals I don’t care that you beat the Nuggets in the regular season I’m sorry I this feels a little bit

Different though with the Sixers team though this feels a little bit different they got Nick Nur an actual coach that’s won a title in recent memory not Doc Rivers Tyrese Maxi is playing at an Allstar level like I mean this is a different feel around this Sixers team

We didn’t say that about the Cowboys yeah we wellth W here’s the thing McCarthy is still the head coach right like McCarthy and I I was skeptical of the Cowboys coming into this year because of McCarthy with the game management issues and all that stuff still one of the most penalized teams in

The NFL over the last three years like there were legitimate reasons to be skeptical about the Cowboys being able to win when it starts to come to Championship time I’m not saying that that doesn’t exist with Philadelphia Adia but I am saying this feels a little bit different when you watch this team

And last night would have been an opportunity for them to fold second night of a back-to-back MB had a huge game against the Houston Rockets on Monday like you you would think okay if there’s going to be a little bit of a let down a team that has Championship

Pedigree rolling it in the Denver Nuggets Jamal Murray Nico yic you could understand how they could be on the losing side of it and they weren’t they they dominated that game in the fourth quarter outscoring the Nuggets 27 to 17 like to me when you show in those

Moments that you have that extra gear where you can compete and beat a team that has Championship aspirations I I feel good about that in terms of Philadelphia having something that they can draw Confidence from once we get to the postseason it’s a good data point

But do it in the playoffs yeah exactly like you could feel better about the Sixers and you have every right to I don’t know that Joel embiid is going to be healthy in the playoffs because unfortunately and I’m not anti Joel embiid at all he gets hurt a lot in the

Postseason now many of them are freakish injuries right these are not just like wear and tear injuries like some knocks into them ahead whatever it is like concuss and stuff right from a couple years ago if I’m not mistaken so okay you had get a great win do it in the

Playoffs like the Cowboys like the bills like we’ve said about other teams in sports come tough crowd tough crowd good win tough crowd nice little win nice little win 18 straight games over 30 points nice little win you got to play 65 to win the MVP by the way and he’s

Going to have to play a lot of games rest of the way to win that mvp he being Joel embiid coming up we do it each and every week our ESPN power rankings in honor of someone who recently retired from the NFL next on Sportsman like presented by Progressive

Insurance this show and all of the for those just uh tuning in Jim Harbaugh interviewing with an NFL team not really breaking news we know he interview with the Chargers he interview with the Falcons that came out of nowhere is that leverage or is this maybe his next step

Matt in Atlantic City watching on ESPN 2 what’s up Matt good morning Evan CC Michelle so hearing that uh hor ball possibly has an interview with Atlanta I think it’s all smoking mirrors honestly I think it’s just leverage for him to stay in the college football realm in

Michigan the two teams that are most intriguing to me would be the LA Chargers given the fact you have a franchise quarterback and Justin Herbert to build around the second would be the Washington commanders because they’re going to be they have a top five pick in

The draft they’re going to be in the Jaden Daniels Drake May Caleb Williams sweep stakes and an interesting note is they just hire the former GM for the 49ers if I was him I would be on the phone with bellich and hbob right now to

Get him to come over to the NFC east and a side note you guys are talking about Justin Fields I think for the right price he would be absolutely fantastic in Pittsburgh to build around that culture the cold weather Mike Tomlin stay final year on his contract and one

More thing before I hang up side note you guys know I’m a giant fan I want to publicly thank Baker Mayfield for lighting up that Philly defense Monday night thank you guys great call Great call Matt may not that I’m power ranking callers he may be the number one caller

Since we started he’s called the most gotten through the most and has been every single time brings great points let’s run through this for a second so yes we all sat here and said harbot to the Chargers makes sense easy path to get a quarterback harbot to Washington

Makes sense easy path to get a quarterback Adam Peters their general manager was in New England a long time ago with belich and he um was in San Francisco but not at the same time as Harbaugh so there’s to my knowledge no immediate connection there just to put

That out there but I think overall when you look at this you could certainly say it’s leverage but again Smalls and I take it the same way CC looks at it differently I’m taking this as this man wants an NFL job he any NFL job any NFL

Job if you’re going to Carolina come on man if say any job he can he can I’m telling you that’s how I feel right can be selective because of how in demand he is I mean Jim Harbaugh is a good coach he’s proven it at every step San Diego

Stanford San Francisco now Michigan like he’s proven it at every step at every level he’s a good coach he he doesn’t have to take a terrible job I agree and there are terrible jobs that are out there now I mean we would argue or debate what are the best available jobs

I think we we’re anticipating that there are potential openings that could happen this week so I don’t know that Jim needs to be in a hurry but but I I yeah I I just look at it as leverage to get more of what he’s looking for in the way of a

Contract from Michigan as opposed to him actually wanting to take the leap and go back to the league if we tomorrow came in here and we had a report or not a report it’s by the team issued statement that he interviewed for Carolina I would now not be surprised because I thought

What you just said previously I thought he was going to be selective and only interview for the obvious jobs the Chargers Washington makes there’s an easy path to a quarterback if Philly or Dallas opened I thought he was only interviewing for the obvious jobs Atlanta and Jim hard not an obvious fit

No so now I’m now I’m going to sit there and say If he if he interviewed in Carolina I’d believe it but why is it not an obvious fit there’s no quarterback exactly but he’s the guy that you would want there when you’re bringing in that new quarterback to help

Develop him and he’s not a guy like Bill Bel that we’re saying is going to be there two maybe three years he years old if you bring in Jim Harbaugh he’s going to hopefully be there for a while so he to me is a great fit in Atlanta they

Have a lot of pieces in place and he’s the guy that can develop your future franchise quarterback Jim in Buffalo watching on ESPN 2 where their college coach by the way went to be an assistant at Alabama kayin dor is getting all these mid- major college head coaches to

Come be assistants at Alabama right now what’s up Jim hey uh you know why would Harbaugh answer a question that’s not been asked yet it’s all leverage he’s got he’s got the the D the din dining room table is open waiting for people to put a plate

Out in front of him to eat from you know he doesn’t need to answer any questions I don’t I I don’t exactly what what do you mean he doesn’t need to answer questions explain what you mean by that nobody’s made a job offer yet well that that’s the other thing and

Thanks for the call to our knowledge maybe he’s sitting there saying I can’t stop interviewing because the offer I want from Michigan hasn’t come yet the immunity offer I don’t have an offer from the Chargers so right now if if I’m Jim Harbaugh going back to Michigan on

The current contract is not that attractive to me yeah but you have to yeah and in order to get the current in order to get the contract that you’re looking for from them or or or it get the situation that you’re looking for you have to you have to keep everything

On the table everything has to be an option in order to leverage appropriately um the the situation that you want the most in order to extract maximum value you’re going to have to engage in these interviews and this is something that Jim Harbaugh has done the

Last two hiring cycles and this one is no different so I I think this is all about Harbaugh angling to go back to Michigan and I’ll say this the reason that I think he stays in college is because of how things ended in the NFL he lost a power struggle in San

Francisco with their then general manager Trent balky Who’s down in Jacksonville right like if you go back to the NFL you are beholding to an owner and or a general manager at Michigan he is the football are he answer Speee Our Dragon Lane Tower is under Attack e fore first bloode For Ouran Tower is under attack an enemy has been defeated Al deated I’m on It to is under attack is that an ally Has dragon and Slayer have appear hey he hey has defeated an enemy has been defeated an ally has Been an enemy has been defeated it’s party time video

  1. Now all of a sudden they don’t care. Ever noticed with embiid the narrative always changes. Jokic stunk in the playoffs he wins his first ring last season and now all of a sudden it’s what can Joel do in the playoffs. Then it was Joel embiid couldn’t put these type of numbers up against elite teams or elite big man now he’s doing it and the narratives is changing… Then people say well Joel doesn’t get his teammates involved like jokic does. Joel embiid assist numbers sky rocket this year now the narrative has changed. I’m convinced now these people love to hate on embiid. You don’t hear this type of stuff when it comes to Luka

  2. Now nobody cares.. foh. If Jokic came out and dominated dide 1000% wouldn't have this take. These white guys, you can see right through them sometimes. It's the NBA, you compare the Cowboys to the Sixers? Dumb ass take!

  3. Jokic and Denver got cooked by Joel, and now they don't care. Foolish, casual assholes. ESPN just be paying anybody. That's why their product is trash now

  4. Before the game everyone cared about him potentially "ducking" the game, now he plays, dominates, wins and now you don't care

  5. Playoffs are almost 5 months away goofydude! Enjoy the historic numbers that this man is putting up in the present & stop talking the damn playoffs everytime he has a big game! This is not the NFL clown, its 82 games & we're literally only half way through! Appreciate his greatness now….Not every single great player wins a chip!

  6. "Am I supposed to care" – you love the NBA and you're seeing one of the best scorers of our lifetime and wondering if you're supposed to care. That is fraudulent behavior

  7. The dude makes no sense, if that’s the case should anyone care about any game in any sport until the playoff games. And if Embiid sat out the majority of the season and then came into the playoffs fully healthy and they ended up winning that guy would be the first to point out that Embiid didn’t even play in the regular season so does it really count, that’s why these ppl are the worse to analyze sports.

  8. lmaoo give embidd his credit. jokic had a teammate average 30 in the finals. wtf did embidd have, a choker in harden.

  9. Sixers need another shot making guard. Like a microwave guy. Problem is there isn’t one available that they can get that would make sense to trade assets for.

  10. I’m a Sixers fan. Don’t even try to sell me the regular season. NEVER! Need to see a way better team in the playoffs than what I’ve seen in the Embiid era. The Sixers have been gutless and pathetic.
