Philly 1 41 Washington 1 36 The 60 points of the third most in NBA history that came in a loss.

Devin Booker, You remember a few years ago?

It's 70 and His Airness once had 64 also in defeat.

The operative number, though, was Joel Embiid.

Stat line 60 or something.

And by the way, Bill said he was upset after scoring 60 Embiid.

Anything but 38 8 and five and the Sixers have the best record in the MBA.

Here's Embiid on how it all came together last night.

I like to think that every time I'm on the floor, you know, I wanna wanted team on.

I want myself to be to do the best job possible.

Eso you know, whenever I'm on the floor, you know, I wanna live in my team.

I wanna make sure we'll win games.

So when Windows stopping situations, uh, whatever you wanna call it closer or whatever, I gotta do my job.

I gotta take it over and I gotta you gotta some ways.

So, Jay, the Sixers opened this season with a win over the Wizards.

That was their first win.

They pick up their league leading seventh win over the same Washington team last night.

They're seven and one.

It's the best record in the n B A.

With a complete reboot, as you know on the bench.

And our listeners know on the bench and in the front office, the 70 Sixers, they're the best team in the East right now.

When's the last time you thought you would hear us say that a lot of the conversation last year was whether Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons can coexist?

People were saying, Hey, look, if I had to pick one I always said I would pick Ben Simmons.

You know you're gonna make that decision.

Daryl Morey decided not to move that asset as of yet decided to stay with Ben Simmons.

And Joel Embiid has surrounded them with guys like Seth Curry, who can shoot the lights.

I'll have always had 20 plus points in his last three or four games, and by the way, bringing Doc Rivers on board has really unlocked Tobias Harris.

Tobias Harris got his balls been his hands, you know, a lot people questioning his contract.

He got a massive deal.

Zubin.

A massive deal but could have been couldn't have been unlocked last year by Brett Brown now is averaging around 19 points per game and dwell on bees playing at the M V P caliber level.

I know where only eight games in, but damn, this team looks completely different when you have a different coach that demands a different set of standards.

And you have a GM that is constantly maneuverings to make this team in a position to win the whole thing with picked up Glenn Rivers.

And I have to say that because you don't wanna be called tox, I want to make sure No, I'm sure to make sure that so that was in there.

Remember when they picked up Coach?

I said I kept saying, Man, he's gonna be a difference maker.

And Tobias Harris has familiarity with coach and his Clipper Day, so he understands what to do with him and his team as a whole.

I think a lot of people just assume that the Nets would be the runaway favorite in the Eastern Conference and the Nets is still gonna be there in the end, probably with the Sixers.

But coach makes a world of a difference.

Can he get and beat to play better?

Can he get Ben Simmons?

Yes, because a coach like that, a veteran coach knows how to get players to play for them.

He knows it, and it's clear based on what we're seeing.
