Bobby Portis and Patrick Beverley amazingly took turns hyping up the crowd during the Bucks’ comeback

Bobby Portis and PatBev were destined to become teammates.

When the Bucks traded for Patrick Beverley at the NBA trade deadline, it gave them an injection of life on the defensive end of the floor.

Although there were concerns about how Beverley might fit alongside Damian Lillard after their previous on-court beef, it seems Milwaukee is starting to figure it out under head coach Doc Rivers.

Despite trailing by as many as 15 points during a game in which both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton sat out against the Clippers on Monday night, the Bucks mounted a massive comeback.

Beverley and Milwaukee teammate Bobby Portis played an integral role in energizing the crowd:

Portis, like Beverley, is known for injecting a bit of life and energy to his team both on and off the court.

With the two of them on the floor at the same time, Milwaukee legitimately has a home-court advantage that could help them during the postseason.

Bucks’ Patrick Beverley clarifies comment regarding Sixers’ will to win

Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley clarified his comments he made about the Philadelphia 76ers’ willingness to win.

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers made the decision at the deadline to send Patrick Beverley to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Cam Payne and a second-round pick. Beverley was a fan favorite in Philadelphia and was a positive influence in the locker room.

Beverley made his return to Philadelphia on Sunday as he helped the Bucks knock off the Sixers 119-98. The Sixers fell to 7-16 on the season without Joel Embiid as Philadelphia continues to try and find its way.

Recently on “The Pat Bev Pod”, Beverley appeared to throw some shade at the Sixers saying that the Bucks are only looking to win a title while the Sixers were focused on stats. He clarified his comments after the game on Sunday as he believes management is looking more toward the future.

“For sure, obviously, but I think they’re looking to the future, not now, which is how you gotta look in this league,” Beverley said. “Especially, with the team make up. A bunch of guys, a bunch of free agents coming up next year, so you understand it.”

Beverley also understood why he was moved. He has been in the business for a bit so he knows what’s going on and how teams look at the deadline.

“I don’t think it was a shock,” Beverley said of the trade. “That was probably some of the best basketball I’ve played in my career. At the end of the day, it’s a business, right? You got a 35-year-old on the minimum. You can get a younger guy and a second-round pick for him? I would say that’s a helluva deal so I understand the business part of it, but I wasn’t shocked. Not in this league, definitely wasn’t shocked. I’m just happy they sent me to here instead of to a place like Washington D.C. or something. It’s all perspective.”

The Sixers will look to move on following the tough loss to the Bucks as they pay a visit to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday.

Tyrese Maxey excited to see former Sixers teammate Patrick Beverley

Tyrese Maxey is excited to see former Philadelphia 76ers teammate Patrick Beverley when they take on the Milwaukee Bucks.

PHILADELPHIA — The matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday afternoon won’t just feature the return of Doc Rivers to Philly, but also Patrick Beverley.

Beverley was a free agent addition in the offseason and 47 games for the Sixers with five starts before he was moved to the Bucks at the deadline in exchange for Cam Payne and a second-round pick. He averaged 6.3 points, 3.1 assists, and 3.1 rebounds for the Sixers before the trade.

Beverley was a fan favorite in Philadelphia and his teammates were also fond of him as well. Tyrese Maxey has kept in contact with Beverley since the trade and is excited to see his former teammate on Sunday.

“I talk to him all the time,” Maxey beamed. “Sometimes when I’m playing Call of Duty he joins my party and talk noise and whatever. He’ll shoot me a text or he’ll slide up on one of my Instagram stories and say something about he gonna lock me up or whatever.”

That’s just Beverley’s personality. He is the ultimate competitor and he is somebody who had the respect of his teammates in Philadelphia. Maxey is looking forward to not only seeing his former teammate, but also a friend.

“I love Pat Bev though,” Maxey added. “Like honestly, it just comes with the business. It sucks. You get close to people, but I think those are lifelong friendships and I feel like he’s made it to where I can call him if I need anything. I definitely will do that and I’m gonna definitely chop it up. I’m pretty sure he’s going to bring high energy. We know who Pat Bev is and I’m pretty sure he’ll bring us a lot of laughs and a lot of joy.”

Sixers’ Nick Nurse, Kyle Lowry address Patrick Beverley’s recent comments

Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse and guard Kyle Lowry address Patrick Beverley’s recent comments about the team.

CAMDEN, N.J. — The Philadelphia 76ers sent Patrick Beverley to the Milwaukee Bucks at the deadline in a deal that netted them Cam Payne and a second-round pick.

Beverly was a helpful player, but President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey stated the Sixers saw his role diminishing as time went on. The Sixers have since moved on, as Beverley has with the Bucks, given it is time to prepare for the stretch run.

On his podcast, “The Pat Bev Pod”, Beverley said he got a call from Sixers forward Tobias Harris, and Harris asked him what the difference was in Milwaukee. Beverley threw some shade at the Sixers saying that the Bucks are focused more on winning a championship rather than individual stats.

“I don’t really have a comment on that,” said coach Nick Nurse at practice on Wednesday. “I know exactly what my mindset is and Daryl’s and Elton’s (Brand) and Joel’s (Embiid) and Tyrese’s (Maxey) and Kyle Lowry’s and what our guys — that’s that’s his opinion. That’s fine. I know we’re here every day working to win a title.”

Speaking of Lowry, that was another factor of all of this that Beverley took exception to. He was upset that Nurse went out and got his guy and that he is going to be all over Lowry when the Sixers and Bucks match up on Feb. 25.

“I love Pat,” Lowry said at practice. “I think Pat is the ultimate competitor. I think Pat is fiery, but his podcast is great. I’m not a podcast watcher, but he’s a friend of mine and that’s his competitive nature, so looking forward to the opportunity of playing against him as always and it’s just basketball. It’s his competitive nature.”

The Sixers and the Bucks will match up on Sunday and it will be interesting to see how things go on the floor for both teams.

Patrick Beverley called out JJ Redick for his harsh criticisms of Doc Rivers’ terrible start with the Bucks

This Doc Rivers situation just keeps getting messier

If there’s one thing we all know about Patrick Beverley, the dude is never afraid to speak his mind about almost anything.

That’s especially the case when it comes to his team and teammates. He rides hard for the people in his corner. And that’s exactly what he’s doing right now when it comes to the criticisms being thrown at Doc Rivers.

JJ Redick absolutely ripped Rivers on First Take after some of the coach’s comments about his team over the weekend. Rivers said that he had some players who were “in Cabo” before the All-Star break, implying they were ready to go on vacation already. And that’s why the Bucks struggled going into the break.

Redick called Rivers out on that and most fans seemed to actually agree with him.

One person who didn’t, though, was Beverley. He called Redick out for being so critical of Rivers — especially after playing for him during his stint with the Clippers.

“That man Doc actually saved your career. Started you when no one else wanted to. And you retire go on TV and say that”

Spicy. Not shocking, though. Rivers is Beverley’s current head coach. Of course he’s going to defend him. Those are some harsh words for Redick. Saying that Rivers saved his career is a surprising move from Beverley here..

Redick wasn’t letting this slide, though. He pushed back against it completely.

“Pat my guy I had a four year offer with player option for the same money to be a starter for a different team. FOH ‘Saved my career.’

Sheesh. This just got way messier than it needed to be. Thursday needs to hurry up and get here so the Bucks can get back to playing basketball.

Patrick Beverley throws shade at Sixers when talking difference with Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley appears to throw shade at the Philadelphia 76ers when discussing the difference between the teams.

The Philadelphia 76ers sent Patrick Beverley to the Milwaukee Bucks at the deadline in exchange for Cam Payne and a second-round pick as they look forward to the playoffs and the future.

President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey explained the Beverley decision, saying the Sixers believed his role was going to be reduced as the season went on. That is why he was sent to the Bucks at the deadline.

On the latest edition of “The Pat Bev Pod,” Beverley went into a story of a phone call with Sixers forward Tobias Harris. Beverley revealed Harris asked him what the difference is between the Sixers and the Bucks. Beverley seemed to throw some shade at the Sixers, stating that the Bucks just want to win and nobody is concerned about numbers.

Beverley will make his return to Philadelphia on Feb. 25 with the Bucks. That will also be the return of Doc Rivers who’s now Milwaukee’s coach after he coached the Sixers for three seasons.

Daryl Morey addresses Patrick Beverley’s comments after Sixers trade

President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey addresses Patrick Beverley’s comments after the Philadelphia 76ers traded him.

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers made quite a few moves at the deadline designed to help them immediately on the floor and position themselves for future moves.

One of those moves was trading Patrick Beverley to the Milwaukee Bucks for Cam Payne and a second-round pick. Beverley quickly became a fan-favorite in Philadelphia due to his hard-nosed play and his willingness to do whatever it took to win games on a nightly basis.

After the trade, Beverley stated President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey told him on Jan. 27 the Sixers weren’t going to trade him. The conversation would have taken place in Denver during their recent road trip.

Obviously, this isn’t the first time a player has accused Morey of telling a lie. There was the big James Harden fiasco in the summer, and there are now questions about Morey’s relationship with Beverley.

“I think my relationship with players and player-agents and people in the league is as high as any in the league,” said Morey. “I think Pat — I got a great relationship with him—he clarified what he said after he said it. I think if I was up here with Pat, it would be a very positive conversation.”

To Morey’s point, yes, Beverley tweeted it was all love to Philadelphia as he moves on from the Sixers to the Bucks. At the point of the deadline, things changed from that day in Denver and Morey had to make a move in order to get his team closer to a title.

“Obviously, what he’s referring to, yeah,” Morey added. “For sure, there were no plans at that point. It didn’t even seem on the radar, but we thought this was the best way to build a team. We saw his minutes going down and we thought it was best for him to be able to be in a place where he was gonna play a bigger role on a team and, here, we saw that role diminishing.”

Tyrese Maxey reacts to Sixers sending Patrick Beverley to Bucks

Tyrese Maxey reacts on social media to the Philadelphia 76ers sending Patrick Beverley to the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Philadelphia 76ers made a flurry of deals on Thursday afternoon before the 3 p.m. EST deadline as they look to set themselves up for the 2024 playoffs when Joel Embiid returns as well as any big moves in the future.

One move the Sixers did make was send Patrick Beverley to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Cam Payne and a second-round pick. Philadelphia gets a reliable ball-handler and 3-point shooter in Payne as well as another draft pick as the Sixers look toward the future.

Beverley was a bit of a fan favorite in Philadelphia due to his hard-nosed style and his boisterous personality that fit the City of Brotherly Love. After his trade to Milwaukee, Tyrese Maxey gave his reaction to losing Pat Bev.

Obviously, Maxey and Beverley had a strong relationship while the veteran was in Philadelphia. The Sixers will now look to move on and welcome their new additions to the floor as they all move forward.

Pat Bev reveals Daryl Morey told him Sixers weren’t going to trade him

Patrick Beverley reveals that Daryl Morey told him that the Philadelphia 76ers weren’t going to trade him.

The Philadelphia 76ers decided to pull the trigger on a deal at the trade deadline when they sent Patrick Beverley to the Milwaukee Bucks in a deal that brought them Cam Payne. It was a bit of a surprise when considering what Beverley brought, but Payne can play the game.

Payne shot 39.7% from deep for the Bucks in 14.9 minutes per game across 47 games with Milwaukee. The Sixers were able to get back a serviceable backup point guard and a quality second-round pick from Milwaukee as they position themselves for future moves.

Beverley revealed on “The Pat Bev Pod” that President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey told him that he wouldn’t get traded. Beverley asked Morey the question while the team was on their road trip in Denver.

Seeing how Beverley fits in with Doc Rivers’ Bucks will certainly be interesting. He is a guy who brings a ton of effort on a nightly basis, but he will also have to repair his relationship with Damian Lillard which has been damaged in the past.
