Before AT&T business wireless, checking out customers on our mobile POS systems took too long.

Basically a staring contest where everyone loses.

It's crazy what people say during an awkward silence.

Now transactions are done before the silence takes hold.

That means I can focus on the task at hand and make an extra sale at two.

Sometimes I do miss the bonding time, sometimes.

AT&T business wireless, connecting changes everything.

You are a Lockdown 76ers postcast, part of Lockdown Sports Philadelphia, on the Lockdown Podcast Network.

Your team every day.

I was told there'd be rust.

I was told by Paul George, there'd be rust.

Joel and B might not be what he has been this season, especially coming off the month that he had in January.

And then of course going to the February, missing 13 games all that with the oblique injury.

I was told there might be rust.

No rust.

76ers have an incredible performance against the Chicago Bulls.

They did exactly what they were supposed to do against the team like the Chicago Bulls.

They ran all over them for three quarters.

And then in the really second half of the fourth quarter, Nick Nurse just said, I think that's enough.

Sorry PG, you're not going to get to 30 points tonight like Joel and Bede.

But I'm going to give you at least an attempt at it.

And boy, he rattled off 10 points to the fourth quarter, Paul George did in the first two minutes and 20 seconds.

But unfortunately couldn't get over the 30 point.

He had 28 points in his first game in 25 games after the suspension and the six year score.

157 points in a game for the first time since 1970.

Good Lord.

Anyway, welcome in.

This is locked on 76 postcast.

My name is Mark Fars and it's great to have you along for the ride.

Make sure you like and subscribe on locked on 76ers.

Keith Pompein.

I have you covered each and every day with your locked on 76ers daily podcasts.

I have you covered for your locked on 76ers postcasts throughout the season.

And you baseball fans tomorrow, Phillies back in action.

The opener, not only the season opener, but the home opener as well as they take on the the Texas Rangers.

With Christopher Sanchez on the bump.

I'll be back with you guys following that game for your first Phillies postcast of the season.

But it's all 76ers for today's game.

And let's get into this.

And this might just surprise you.

This is the locked on player of the game.

It's not going to surprise you all that much.

Maybe before the game, it would surprise you.

Now, I've been telling you guys for two and a half, maybe three weeks that this would be the game

that you will and be would come back for.

This is the game against the bulls that I had circled.

Not just because it was the game that Paul George was going to be coming back.

But I didn't really think that the sixers is going to unleash fury with your well and beat on the road trip.

That didn't make any sense to me.

He wasn't going to go up against Joker in his first game back.

I didn't think he was going to play his first game back on the road.

So the first game at home was against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

I did not expect him to play in that game.

I told you guys as much for three weeks.

I had this game circled on my calendar because this was a game that he he could easily go out there.

Go through the motions.

Test the oblique a little bit.

Okay, I feel strong.

Let me just go ahead and drop 12 points in a row to help the sixers open up the scoring.

They had that cut lay up there that great feed from Paul George to BJ Edge come down the lane for the first bucket of the game.

And then Joe ellipede rattled off the sixers next 12 points on his own.

And he was often running to the tune of a 35.

Seven assist six rebound game three of three from beyond the arc 12 of 17 shooting from the floor and eight of nine from the free throw line.

Joe ellipede 35 points in 28 minutes played tonight.

He had 23 of those points in 16 minutes played in the first half.

Not too shabby.

And by the time that third quarter wrapped up,

whereas a team they scored 51 points.

Joe ellipede had 35 in total on the night.

He was done did not play in the fourth quarter.

And of course 13 or rather 12 of those points came in that third quarter where the sixers scored a season high for any quarter 51 points.

Joel Hans imbeade no doubt the player of the game.

However,

right after Paul George right after Paul George,

the guy I had my eyes on tonight.

Now George I mentioned came up with 28 points tonight in his first game back since 25 games suspension.

Even more so that was impressive to me was VJ edge come tonight.

Now you might say well you've had him you've seen him you know what will be so impressive.

Seamless flawless tonight in how he played with both Joel imbeade and played with Paul George tonight.

If I had to give a runner up for player of the game, even more so than Paul George.

It'd be VJ edge come listen to this efficient scoring that he had tonight play 30 minutes got to 22 points.

Seven of nine from the floor.

Four of five from beyond the arc four of five from the free throw line.

Yeah, he actually got to the free throw line tonight.

Seven or to me six assists six rebounds for him.

That stuff in the statute in total was a plus 32 overall in the evening.

You get that kind of efficiency from VJ edge come.

Yeah, a lot of good things are going to happen, especially.

Yes, when you do also get Kelly Ubrey back and you do also get Tyrese maxi back.

That's the kind of efficiency you want to see, especially when you talk about three point shooting because that's going to open up so much for him.

Now that not only is Paul George back not only is Joel imbeade back once you get some of the other guys back for instance like Tyrese backsy or Kelly Ubrey.

How much that's going to open for VJ edge come out there on the perimeter.

So without question Joel imbeade number one.

That's the easiest thing in the world.

But if there was a runner up more so than Paul George could I look.

Paul George did he exceed my expectations tonight.

Absolutely.

And 28 points going into that fourth quarter PG was at 15 points before again.

He rattled off 10 points in the first two minutes and 20 seconds of the fourth quarter finishing with 28 nice night for him.

Of course, but all in all I wanted to see how VJ edge come was going to fit in with this and what version of VJ edge come you were going to get.

And you got a pretty damn good version of VJ tonight against the Chicago Bulls.

Now also one thing I want to say in the opening segment here is that you guys have heard me say many times all they beat the kings.

All people are like, Oh, what big deal they beat the kings.

Okay, fine.

Oh, they beat the jazz big deal.

They beat the jazz.

Yeah, I get that.

But when you're a bad basketball team.

And VJ edge come and quitting grimes led 76ers squad.

I'm going to go ahead and go on a limb here and say that they would be lucky at this point in the season to have 20 wins 25 wins.

So when you go up against the lower teams in the NBA, I'm happy you won the game.

I'm happy you're you're you're soon to be stars looked good.

So I'm happy you win those games.

I don't just brush them off and like, Oh, who'd they play?

Well, they too are not a very good basketball team without the big guns on the lineup.

So I'm going to go ahead and be impressed when I see a huge came from VJ edge.

Come where I see quitting grimes, you know, get hot from beyond the arc or campaign.

Get hot from beyond there.

I'm going to go ahead and enjoy the hell out of that because it's a not very good basketball team beating a bad basketball team.

But tonight like tonight.

This is exactly especially through three quarters of play.

And before that fourth quarter with things started slipping in slide in there for the sixers and the bulls, you know, we're going up against the, you know,

the league sixers essentially.

It was a one twenty two to eighty four sixers lead one twenty two to eighty four going into that fourth quarter.

That's exactly what a joe Ellen beat Paul George, efficient VJ edge come.

A good the starting lineup quit and grimes and still got to 13 today.

And decent help coming off the bench from guys like campaign for instance, who had another good shooting night for the sixers from beyond the arc.

In total campaign finished with 15 points to lead the bench scoring efforts, Justin Edwards had 12.

But campaign was five of eight from three.

That basketball team should put up 157 points on the Chicago Bulls.

They should score 51 points in the third quarter in any quarter really against the Chicago Bulls team.

They did exactly what they were supposed to do and then some tonight.

If like friends, if you would, if I would have told you, hey, Paul George is going to get to 28 tonight.

You probably said, I might be a little rich for his blood for his game back to 25.

Okay, he even said to be a little rusty.

Not so much.

Not so much tonight.

So I absolutely loved seeing that for the sixers.

And if there was a time to reveal where the game was once or lost, it's the turning point.

It was tip off.

And I have often said on the negative side of things, like, you know, the sixers get blown out of the water against a good team,

like the, you know, the nuggets, for instance, like the game, when the game tipped off, that was the turning point.

Oh, it's a loss.

Well, from tip off in the positive way today, the sixers had this game.

As they should, as you would expect, I mentioned Joellen B just rattling off 12 points, like it was nothing.

You see him knocked down a couple three.

VJ come up with a couple of threes.

You see a campaign hit his first three of the night.

Damn, Bona comes up with a big block.

I'm an offensive end of things.

VJ had come ahead 11 of his 22 in the first quarter.

I mean, this team was just going to be on a roll.

And that's exactly what they were.

They were up 12 after the first quarter.

At halftime, there were up 29 points or two, 19 points at halftime.

They had this game very much well within hand and in control.

And that was something that you absolutely love to see.

This is what you'll be talking about.

I think you're going to be talking about the obvious.

You're going to be talking about Paul George.

You're going to be talking about Joellen B.

You're going to be talking about how they did exactly what they should do against the bull's team.

Somebody in the office most likely will be saying, you know, with only the bulls, right?

Yes, we all understand the assignment.

We all can look at the schedule.

However, what I hope you're talking about.

Now Atlanta at the time that we're doing this, which of course live.

Atlanta is up one point right now in overtime 36 seconds left over Detroit.

So you're hoping the sixers can at least get into that tie break situation.

Now they don't have the tie break, but they can at least get the same amount of games on the first place.

But Atlanta would have the tie break.

That's going on right now 13 seconds left Atlanta still leading by a point.

And then the game we're going to keep a closer eye on tonight as well.

Is going to be the Raptors who have a very late start time against the Clippers in Los Angeles tonight.

That is a 10 30 start time.

So those are the teams at the sixers right now are hunting in the Eastern Conference standings.

Those are the teams that are hunting right now for the fifth seed and the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference.

So fingers crossed this all falls in the 76ers direction two nights.

And I'm going to keep that Hawks score up there just on account of a cause.

Hawks are up 130 to 129 with 8.2 seconds left in the game.

When we come back, we're going to get into some of your comments on this.

We're also going to get into one of the things that is really special about tonight's victory all that more on locked on 76ers post cast back after this.

One of the best things about tonight one of the best things about tonight was following the six years get to 130 points.

See get to 140 points and when you got to 140 I went like 130 I'm like this is a really good night and then you know Paul George is going off right around that same time when you're in 130's and I'm like 140 I'm like when's the last time the six years scored 130 points.

Or excuse me what's the last time they scored 140 points so last year what did you know at the six years scored 139 points five times they did it against the wizards the Grizzlies twice the bucks and the kings two of those instances one of the wizards and one of the Grizzlies what was in overtime.

The last time they scored a hundred and fifty seven points in a game you got to go all the way back it was 140 points all the way back to nineteen seventy February 15th nineteen seventy and a hundred fifty nine point victory over the phoenix sons 1970.

I don't even know were they even the sons that I was alive in 1970 but anyway that's not bad that's not bad for the sixers that was really special about tonight's game all right let's get a couple of comments in here how about this one neskin what's going on but the D great game for the sixers that most points for the team 56 years all yeah best fans get the chicken nuggets hell yeah they get the chicken nuggets tonight.

They're not rain any on one was brave brazen 27th is it yeah nobody that's fine that I don't care but I appreciate your honesty framed go sixers as neat they go ain't going to lie I'm tired of this stuff added it he gave us hope leaves us for two months comes back to a horrible team looks like Superman yeah I get it I have the same thought in the back of my head I have the same thought in the back of my head love our team but damn we got to sit here and listen to.

We don't know nobody knows anything PG 28 points I was getting drug tested tomorrow Atlanta closed out that win wah wah they outscore wow they also have by one point I guess that makes sense they outscore the pistons by one point in over time nine to eight in over time 131 29 win for the Atlanta Hawks so let's go clippers

question mark alright thanks everybody in the chat appreciate you guys as per usual one thing about joellen beads game I do want to add tonight yes 35 point the box you can check the box score tomorrow and not watch the game and be like oh wow that's good for joellen beat what I really liked about joellen beat tonight 35 points is great but let's talk about going beyond the box score here joellen beat in how he scored his points tonight was fantastic did not shy away from contact I mean he was just flat out bullying

guys today and when you can bully Gershon yabi salay yabi salay that's obviously a really nice time Leonard Miller didn't stand a chance against him tonight I felt bad for that man and was it who else was it that he was going up against tonight Nick Richards especially in the early portion of the game it was like a bump and jump you get the bump on the contact either fade away or just create that space with the contact go up with the shot

or fade away with the shot and he was knocking it down I mean he was getting under the basket he had that great throwdown in the

when was that late in the first quarter yeah he had that great slam late in the first quarter and the bench went crazy the building went crazy actually so not only statistically speaking was in a

fine night for joellen beat but the way he got his 35 points tonight extremely efficient physical and yes when he needed to show the finesse he showed the finesse so good to see that tonight for the 76ers so there you go next up for the sixers this is going

to be a little bit tougher as the season goes on here in the final 10 games of the season now final nine games of the season up next the Charlotte hornets the sixers will visit the hornets coming up on
