Paul George on pausing Podcast P to focus more on the Sixers' playoff push: “The full focus is trying to get this team together. We gotta give ourselves a chance, taking it one game at a time. But we gotta give ourselves a chance to see what we can do down the stretch.”

Kelly Oubre Jr: “I just didn’t feel like anybody could guard me out there, respectfully…I’m gonna play defense as hard as I possibly can but when I can put that force on the offensive end as well, I think that that’s who I am as a basketball player: a two-way player.”

Tyrese Maxey on his right finger injury (which still had a wrap on it in the locker room): “It hurts but I’ll be fine.” Said it’s harder to pound dribble and shoot the ball but that he’s not looking to make any excuses

Sixers have outscored the Knicks since their brutal 1st quarter. They only trail by nine heading into the 4th after Maxey and PG combine for 22 of Philly's 29 points in the 3rd quarter

Sixers trail Knicks 61-45 at half -Oubre backing up Thibs' compliment from earlier. Tied w/ Bridges for most points at 19 -PG and Maxey shooting a combined 6-24. PG does have 6 boards + 5 assists but still -Game is closer than it feels but Sixers need more than this Oubre heater

Josh Hart got a free run to the paint bc no one was on the same side of the court as him and Oubre picked up his 2nd foul as a result. Nice going

Nick Nurse said the process of implementing the Sixers’ newcomers has been “sporadic and erratic.” I like to think him saying that at MSG is an inadvertent nod to the NBA’s greatest rhymer, Walt Frazier

Some praise of Sixers players from Tom Thibodeau: Oubre: “one of the most underrated players in the league” Drummond: “always been a dominant force when he’s starting games” Bona: “very athletic, runs the floor extremely well” Noted Maxey, PG, Grimes as players to watch for

Quentin Grimes on Tom Thibodeau's heavy minutes: “It definitely takes a toll on you but you're not complaining 'cause you know that he trusts you to go out there and play those minutes.” More on Grimes' development under Thibs and Kelvin Sampson: clutchpoints.com/nba/philadel...

Asked Quentin Grimes about screen navigation. “You gotta just get skinny up on the screen. Don't get hit on it. Try to make your body as slim as possible.” He remembers practicing it as a rookie w/ the Knicks, guarding 20 straight possessions w/ player development coaches

Paul George on a potential Sixers playoff push: “We've shown no sign of a team that will compete. We just don't have the habits [that] a champion or a playoff-contending team would have. So, to be honest, right now, it's a little far-fetched.”

Sixers trail Bulls 75-58 at half -Not having Embiid has really exposed how putrid Philly's perimeter defense is. Bulls are either waltzing into the paint or getting FTs. 16-24 shooting in the paint -PG playing like he gives a shit. 16 points, 5 stocks. Too bad it doesn’t matter
