You are Lockdown 76ers Postcast, part of Lockdown Sports Philadelphia, on the Lockdown

Oddcast Network, your team every day.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, okay, just join me in a collective, woo, Philadelphia 76ers didn't

expect to say this, hold off the Brooklyn Nets to the tune of a 104-97 victory.

The Nets opened up that fourth quarter on a 25-9 run.

Thank goodness at some point in this game, one point in this game, I should say.

The Sixers led by 28 because they needed every inch of that cushion, every ounce of that

cushion, in order to make sure the Nets stayed in the losing column and the Sixers go in

the win column after today's ball game.

Welcome in, this is Lockdown 76ers Postcast, my name is Mark Barnes and I got you covered

each and every Sixers Postcast now, for now, to the end of the season, till the end of

the play-in tournament, till the end of the playoffs, figures crossed.

And also I got you covered each and every day, Monday through Friday with Keith Pompey

for your Lockdown 76ers daily podcast.

Let's start it off with three big things.

Number one, Quentin Grimes, thank you, holy Strumboly, needed somebody to step up that fourth

quarter and make sure the bleeding stopped and Quentin Grimes understood the assignment.

He gets 15 of his team high, game high, 28 points in that fourth quarter.

The bucket he hit to make it 96-91 that jumper from just around the top of the key there

that just buried it after it rattled around, made me go, oh God, thank you, they're not

going to lose this game.

That was the moment.

I know it was closer than that after that bucket, but that was the moment I went, nope.

Sixers definitely have this one in hand.

I feel like it's all, all will be right with the world.

And like I said, it was a really rough point, really in that fourth quarter, especially

early goings.

When you're looking at essentially 430 left in the game, the Nets are mounting this incredible

comeback.

They're in the midst of the 25 to 9 run.

Sixers call timeout.

Grimes unfortunately ended up missing a baseline jumper.

They go to the Dell down the other end.

He knocks down the three.

You're looking at it even closer game than ETN puts the Brooklyn Nets up a point 87-86.

And after that, a Dembona comes up with a hard play under the basket, gets fouled, goes

to the line.

He's able to knock down both free throws to grab the lead right back from the Sixers.

Grimes comes up with a block, and then Grimes comes up with another two for two from the

free throw line in order to make sure that the Sixers stay in front in this game.

Grimes also had a great assist, Dom Barlow would have been an assist, Barlow ended up getting

fouled, then goes to the line, a great look from him.

But he could have just forced the three-point attempt, but Grimes didn't.

Good head on his shoulders there.

Put it down in the baseline to Dominic Barlow, who's able to convert both free throws.

And then again with about 50 seconds left in the game, Grimes came up with the clutch

shot to make it a 96-91 ball game in favor of the Sixers.

So number one, I'm going to quit and grimes for his performance in this game tonight,

not just about the points, but when he got the points, which was the fourth quarter.

Number two, the guy I'm going to look at tonight is also, this afternoon, is a Dembona.

Because a Dembona was all over the place tonight, especially on the defensive end of things

for your 76ers.

He only gets nine points, but he's not on the floor to score points.

The Dembona is there to block shots, which he did.

He had three of them.

He's there to get rebounds.

He ended up getting 10 rebounds today, including three of those 10 rebounds on the offensive side.

You could tell, especially in the earlier portions of this game, that the net's one of the

nowhere a Dembona was.

He played 33 minutes, and before they were taking it on him, they were definitely looking

over their shoulder to see where he would be lurking.

In that fourth quarter, similar to Quentin Grimes already shouted out a couple of plays

that a Dembona came up with, including those blocks, including knocking down his free throws,

including running the floor with the sixers to provide some great defense.

All in all, he was covering every ounce of the floor tonight.

And man, he played a physical style of basketball.

There was a couple other plays actually, also throughout the game.

There was a great Allioupe in the third quarter.

Sixers had a few Allioupes in this game, and the sixers had for a night where there

were shooting about 50% or a day where they were shooting about 50% throughout the game

from the floor.

They had about four or five airballs through the third quarter.

But man, when they missed, they missed big, and when they threw Allioupes, they finished

them big.

And Bona finished off a huge one from VJ Edge coming to make it a 65-39 game in the midway

point of that third quarter that just showed a Dembona being able to go after the basket

and continue to attack.

Great performance that you saw from a Dembona tonight.

Number three, I mean, we could all put this under everything I've talked about in a positive

light from Grimes to Bona to winning the basketball game.

You could all put it under the positive light.

Hey, they won.

But you could also put it under the negative umbrella of, it's the Nets.

And you shouldn't be struggling in the fourth quarter.

You should never allow a 25-9 run to the Brooklyn Nets, and I'll tell you right now.

I agree with you.

You should never do that.

But when the Nets are netting, like they were throughout the game tonight, and being

the worst team in the NBA pretty much especially when you talk about a fuel goal percentage

in that regard, a team that's also already been eliminated from policies and contentions.

So that's also fun with about a month left playing the season.

The sixers are not playing with their stars.

So before I even get to number three, my three big things.

I was ready, especially at the end of that third quarter, to just put it out there.

My typical I don't care that it's the Nets.

The sixers have their own problems in house before they start focusing on, you know, trying

to beat a lowly team like the Nets.

And then they had to just barely get by the Nets in that fourth quarter.

But I've only noticed that bringing that up is because I understand who they played today.

We need to see good signs like from Quentin Grimes, and we haven't seen that version of

Quentin Grimes really all season.

We needed to see VJ Edge come play how he played in that first quarter in the second quarter

in the third quarter, and especially in the fourth quarter.

And we did it unfortunately.

But you're still extremely shorthanded going into this game.

I don't believe that a guy like a damn bono was 100% healthy going into this one.

We know the injury list that's out there.

We know who's sitting on the bench and all that, but man, for the sixers to be able to squash

a not only a comeback, but a lead snatching comeback, the way the Nets did, and the sixers

still respond and not bury their heads 100% good on them, but man.

These teams were way too even, especially in that fourth quarter.

I mean, the Nets had the advantage time and time again, despite the fact that their roster

is banged up.

Of course, porters not playing their leading score, as we know, sixers have a number of

guys that we know are also out, but bottom line of all of this is, it comes down when

you don't have the talent, it comes down to coaching.

And I didn't feel like this was really anything Nick Nurse could have done or really anything

Nick Nurse did, I should say.

There was nothing Nick Nurse did that made me go, all right, Nick is making sure his

guys are on top of it.

To me, this came down to willpower of the 76ers that were available to play in this game,

most notably a demo.

I'm assuming most notably Quentin Grimes, most notably a Dambona, and then Justin Edwards

also coming up with 19 points tonight, he certainly gets an honorable mention.

But officially number three of three big things for today, BJ Edge come came out and played

in that first quarter and got 10 points, and it was an aggressive 10 points.

He had a couple of highlight real dunks.

He had one highlight real myths that he clanked off the rim that I was terrified because

the way he was hanging on the rim, others just spin around and hurt his wrist or something

but fortunately let go right the right time.

Anyway, he missed it.

Tyrese Maxi is on the bench.

Tyrese Maxi jumps up off the bench after that and just goes, just thumbs down, boo, kind

of thing, right?

And they're laughing about it.

And I'm thinking, ah, six years are going to be up in that first quarter, 13 points,

they're up 29, 16 at the close of the first quarter.

Let's have some fun.

BJ looks like he's going to play this game with his chip on his shoulder and this team

is going to rock it out.

He did not.

BJ went the entire second quarter without a point.

BJ did not get a point in the second quarter until assuming the third quarter to the

740 mark where he hit a baseline jumper.

First quarter, 10 points, second quarter, zero, third quarter, two, fourth quarter, two,

or two before he did get four in the circle.

He finished with 16 points, Miss Goosey.

But 10 points in the first, six the rest of the way.

And that chip on his shoulder that I saw, BJ had to come out with in the first quarter

completely went away.

And I, again, you're in the midst of a blowout.

So I'm thinking, all right, this is good.

He's setting up his teammates.

He was racking up the assists, I think through five or through three quarters.

He had five assists.

He ended up with seven assists on the night and ended up with four rebounds.

Did BJ had to come.

But I was, all right, you set up your teammates.

Good.

You're not being selfish.

I wanted him to take over that game because I want to continue to see him take those

major steps forward or take major steps forward, you know, for the rest of his rookie season,

which is only a month and through the rest of his career.

And he didn't do that.

Somebody else did tonight and that man was Quentin Grimes.

So watching BJ has come tonight as the game went on, I thought he got less and less aggressive.

And also he was missing some shots.

He had a little bunny there on the baseline that he clanked off, he had three that he clanked

off as well.

He had three from three tonight, unfortunately, today, unfortunately.

But defense was there, definitely hanging with guys again, no ill signs of any kind of

back contusion, lumbar contusion or anything like that.

But what I saw in the fourth or first quarter from BJ has come.

I wanted to see for the next three and really did not see it on selfish smart was playing

the point guard role a little bit there.

So you saw him be more of the distributor, but their opportunities to score the basketball

love to see him score the basketball.

He did find Grimes a couple of times on those fifteen points as well that Grimes put

up in the fourth quarter, but all in all, I thought that same aggression we were going

to see from BJ in that first quarter, we were going to see throughout.

We did not end it up still though with the sixers coming up with that victory, I'll

be it against the Brooklyn.

And that's by the way, I mentioned that fourth quarter a couple of times, 41 to 27.

Sixers got out scored, but after that 25 to nine run in the fourth quarter that opened

things up for the nets, sixers ended up putting up 18 points in the final four minutes and

30 seconds to the nets, 16.

Good God.

Before we get to your comments on this one, let's acknowledge the player of the game.

This is the locked on player of the game.

Quentin Grimes is your player of the game obviously as for under reveal where the game was

one or most it's the turning point.

I will direct you once again to the 50 second mark of that fourth corner where the sixers

were looking to solidify a lead and they got a six point lead or five point lead excuse

me 96 to 91 thanks to Quentin Grimes jumper as far as this is what you'll be talking about.

You're going to be talking about them holding on against the nets and being pissed off most

likely.

No matter what I say, it'll probably still the main thing to take away from this game

where you don't even be Paul George, Maxi, Ubrei, you're two things you're going to take

away from it are they need day they need it to hold on against the net.

That's not good.

And then maybe if there's a second thing Grimes went off, man, 15 points in the fourth

quarter.

Hell yeah.

That's what I think you'll be getting into.

All right, let's look at some comments on this one here.

VJ is only 180 pounds and he has small hands.

A little contact and he misses the dunk, but the vertical leap is is insane.

It is absolutely insane.

Mrs. Salman couldn't agree more.

Jump what's going on.

Nice to see it.

I don't know.

Think VJ gets up as much as some of y'all think.

I would love to know how many dunk is there's been a lot of dunk misses, a lot of overaggression.

I'll say that.

Jeff what's going on?

Neath, scoozy.

Neath what's going on?

Why we trade McCain and keep Grimes?

Well this was a game where you could say Grimes was really good.

Not so much recently, unfortunately, for Quentin Grimes, not so much recently.

Where y'all hiding?

What's going on?

What a shaky stretch we've been through lately.

Yes, it hasn't been good.

It hasn't been good, unfortunately.

But hey, here's the bounce back.

Here's the two wins.

Hopefully.

You got one today.

That was fun.

And then the right back at it tomorrow.

This is just going to be their second to last back-to-back in a season filled with back-to-backs.

Sixers are right back at it for a six o'clock tip off against the Portland Trailblazers tomorrow

night.
