Speaker 1: This is a playoff edition of seventy six Ers Rewind
Speaker 1: presented by Geico. Time Now to listen back to reaction
Speaker 1: from the team's most recent postseason. So much uncertainty of
Speaker 1: the availability of the Big Fellow Joel Ebad in both
Speaker 1: Game number three and Game number four, but once game
Speaker 1: time started, the Big Fellow was available to come out
Speaker 1: and help the Philadelphia seventy Sixers when they needed him
Speaker 1: the most, with thirty one point, sixteen rebounds and seven
Speaker 1: assists and a one twelve one o eight victory in
Speaker 1: Brooklyn at Barclays Center. Welcome to the Sixers postgame show
Speaker 1: here on the Sixers Radio Network'm Divine Givens. We will
Speaker 1: be joined by Tom McGinnis back at Barclays Center. You
Speaker 1: just heard the head coach winning head coach Brett Brown
Speaker 1: with a three one series lead of the best of
Speaker 1: seven in this matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, and once
Speaker 1: again Joel and beat strong and huge in this victory
Speaker 1: over the Nets in thirty one minutes and thirty seconds,
Speaker 1: twelve twelve points, twenty two attempts from the field, one
Speaker 1: of three from deep, converting all six of his free throws,
Speaker 1: large on the glass, with sixteen rebounds, tremendous in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, thirty one overall points. His point total in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter twelve to go along with six rebounds,
Speaker 1: three assists, one block shot, three turnovers. You have to
Speaker 1: highlight it. But big down the stretch for the seventy Sixers,
Speaker 1: as we do connect with Tom mcguinnis back at Barclays
Speaker 1: Center in Brooklyn, New York. In the time. We know
Speaker 1: that the teams, of course, can do so many different
Speaker 1: things with so many different players. These are very good
Speaker 1: NBA talented players. But when Joel Evan bad missing the
Speaker 1: last game, the Sixers did things a little bit different.
Speaker 1: Similar approach this game here in game number four, but
Speaker 1: when they needed him most, he came through large, Yes
Speaker 1: he did. And you know, just kind of reflecting back
Speaker 1: certainly to my commentary, like, well it's rough, button Bead,
Speaker 1: And I said, you know, especially hearing kind of what
Speaker 1: Ben said that Joel got ticked off, and I thought
Speaker 1: they both did. I thought they both came out of
Speaker 1: that third quarter skirmish with a little you know, again,
Speaker 1: when you're involved in something like that, it just it
Speaker 1: ratches up your adrenaline. How could it nod that that's
Speaker 1: what happens, and I think him be like I said,
Speaker 1: you know, even though he had a good first half
Speaker 1: and everything, he only played like eleven minutes in the
Speaker 1: first half. He came in at the very tail end
Speaker 1: to make those two free throws with under five seconds
Speaker 1: to go. But and like I said, they threw him
Speaker 1: off his game a little bit with how they were
Speaker 1: guarding him with Dudley and Ronde, Hollis Jefferson, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I think that that little kind of
Speaker 1: crystallize that altercation where Joel said, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: going to go back to being physical and playing some
Speaker 1: bullyball and getting that ball on the block and making plays.
Speaker 1: And it came in a variety of fashions like remember
Speaker 1: those high low sequences where Simmons Feduel. It was sandwiched
Speaker 1: around the time out from the top of the key
Speaker 1: area they were fronting. Ronde was fronting Joel, and again
Speaker 1: he's only six seven at Joel's seven feet, and the
Speaker 1: bed was right by the basket and he was able
Speaker 1: to score it. Now, the Sixers, both Simmons and to
Speaker 1: Be missed a lot of close rain shots around that
Speaker 1: basket that may have made it a little bit easier
Speaker 1: that both both of them turn the ball over a
Speaker 1: lot that can cost you a playoff game. And trust me,
Speaker 1: is this thing. If the Sixers are fortunate enough to
Speaker 1: move on, you're not beating the likes of Toronto, Boston, Milwaukee,
Speaker 1: whomever with twenty plus turnovers in a playoffs. It just
Speaker 1: won't happen. Brooklyn themselves and I hate to say this
Speaker 1: sounds critical, but not ready for the moment. Okay, they
Speaker 1: an inbound ball, they couldn't successfully inbound the ball. Jared
Speaker 1: Allen game on the nine, had the ball ripped away
Speaker 1: from himself and there was another turnover as well, so
Speaker 1: that really cost him. They didn't get looks. As a coach,
Speaker 1: I think you can live with it if you're Kenny
Speaker 1: Atkinson going away. Well it just didn't fall. But to
Speaker 1: not even get a shot off, to not even be
Speaker 1: able to inbound the ball, that's tough. And they struggled
Speaker 1: in that scenario, and they had this game. It's but
Speaker 1: DeAngelo Russell makes that three and that was on a
Speaker 1: second chance opportunity. You're like, all right, they're not going away,
Speaker 1: and look it's not done by any stretch. They came
Speaker 1: into Philadelphia they won that game at the Center, they
Speaker 1: won there in the regular season, and you know, early
Speaker 1: on in this series, I think you could say about
Speaker 1: Brooklyn they're not afraid of the Sixers. Well I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. They're not quaking in their boots, but I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have a new found respect with the
Speaker 1: way the Sixers have handled this, particularly winning in their
Speaker 1: building twice here in this Games three and Game four,
Speaker 1: And that's part of what we see so far after
Speaker 1: this one. And Tom to isolate what you pointed out
Speaker 1: about Simmons and Embiid in the third quarter after the
Speaker 1: flagrant foul and the two technicals in the ejection, the
Speaker 1: play where Ben Simmons got the layup in the foul
Speaker 1: seventy five seventy as Ben was going out of bounds
Speaker 1: kind of looking at the crowd after the make you
Speaker 1: could see Joel Embiid just animated walking over to Ben Simmons.
Speaker 1: And we don't see that much from those two are
Speaker 1: really much from the team at all. They do it
Speaker 1: in a in a kind of a subtle way. But
Speaker 1: as you pointed out, that was one that really stood
Speaker 1: out to me as he he sought him out after
Speaker 1: that play to say let's go absolutely and look, there
Speaker 1: is The intensity in a playoff game is just as
Speaker 1: Brett Brown said, it's a whole different deal than the regulars,
Speaker 1: and the stakes are so high, the possessions are magnified,
Speaker 1: and those two guys fuel all. This is the highest
Speaker 1: basketball competition. Obviously, the playoffs, the finals certainly would be
Speaker 1: rated a little bit differently in terms of this what
Speaker 1: we're talking about. But how could they not get fired
Speaker 1: up and pull from one another and realize that the
Speaker 1: intensity is such a big thing. They're the leaders, they're
Speaker 1: the leaders of this ball club. Of course, Butler has
Speaker 1: not been here nearly as long Tobias Harris only twenty
Speaker 1: seven games. But those two guys have brought the Sixers
Speaker 1: back to prominence. And they're so talented, and again they
Speaker 1: had some great games. They had their moments in this game,
Speaker 1: but they certainly helped the Sixers win this victory. Here
Speaker 1: today over Brooklyn, Tom mc ginnis joining US Life and
Speaker 1: Barclay Center, site of the Sixers victory one twelve, one
Speaker 1: oh eight over the Brooklyn Nets, now a three one
Speaker 1: series lead, looking to close things out on Tuesday with
Speaker 1: the opportunity at home at the center eight o'clock tip
Speaker 1: right here on the Sixers radio network and time, speaking
Speaker 1: of to Bias Harris want third straight game with a
Speaker 1: very good offensive performance, twenty four points, collecting eight rebounds,
Speaker 1: still still boarding even with him beat out there, six
Speaker 1: assists as well, and no turnovers in a game high
Speaker 1: forty three minutes and twenty six seconds time, And this
Speaker 1: is what we've been waiting for, this is what Elton
Speaker 1: Brand acquired him for. Absolutely, and I think we probably
Speaker 1: should mention his defense as well, because you know, when
Speaker 1: again the way they play, they spreads you out. You're
Speaker 1: out there on an island, even if you know, they
Speaker 1: just throw it to your guy in your garden, him
Speaker 1: on the wing. So Harris did a good job in
Speaker 1: that regard. Collectively as well, you have to, you know,
Speaker 1: kudos to the Sixers to hold them to just seventeen points,
Speaker 1: but absolutely to Bias, particularly without Jimmy in there, you
Speaker 1: need that secondary and that third scorer, especially with Reddick
Speaker 1: not really having a big game until he made that
Speaker 1: third basket for him, that three that he made. But
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris was steady throughout in the entire game, and
Speaker 1: like you said, varied with the rebounding, the assists, and
Speaker 1: the scoring. Yeah, absolutely, no doubt about it. He's been
Speaker 1: really good. And finally, Mike Scott, we cannot ignore what
Speaker 1: he did tonight making that big three pointer to put
Speaker 1: the game one one oh eight four to seventy sixes.
Speaker 1: Last game time, he was oh four from the field
Speaker 1: and did not contribute point wise, but they blew out
Speaker 1: the nets. It did not really matter. But he never
Speaker 1: shies away from an opportunity to make an open shot,
Speaker 1: and he never hesitates when those shots are presented to him. Now,
Speaker 1: and that's the mentality you have to have, and he's
Speaker 1: certainly been around long enough to know that, and he's
Speaker 1: made big shots. He had that game right to bound.
Speaker 1: He had six threes in a game of him not mistaken. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so in a corner three obviously, that's something these guys
Speaker 1: work on all the time. Great look a great fine
Speaker 1: by him, Bead. And that's the playoffs and to me,
Speaker 1: and it's something you delight in even in the regular
Speaker 1: season when you win a hard fought game, particularly on
Speaker 1: the road. But my point is the NBA game at
Speaker 1: forty eight minutes is so long, and you need multiple
Speaker 1: players to step up at different times, and Mike Scott
Speaker 1: came in there. James Ennis is another guy you have
Speaker 1: to give credit to because he was an impactful player
Speaker 1: in this game. And that's what it takes. It takes
Speaker 1: a team, and it takes different guys at different time
Speaker 1: doing different things, chipping in, making defensive plays, because getting
Speaker 1: through screens, all of the things that make up the
Speaker 1: chemistry and the unity of a team game and a
Speaker 1: team victory, and that certainly was on display here. As
Speaker 1: a sex she is able to pull this off on
Speaker 1: the road and win game four by four. Well, Tom,
Speaker 1: an exciting win and game number four very reminiscent of
Speaker 1: the Miami winning and as you were there of course
Speaker 1: against the Miami Heat one O six, one h two
Speaker 1: last year's playoffs in the quarterfinals as well, came back
Speaker 1: and took care of business in a getaway game and
Speaker 1: game number five. Hopefully we have the same result on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Listening for you call at eight o'clock. All right, Devon,
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you there and Solong about to see
Speaker 1: you later. Save trip back Tom again, it's live from
Speaker 1: the Barclay's Center. And yes, the Miami Heat series last
Speaker 1: year's similar result a four point win come back to
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and close things out in five games at the Center,
Speaker 1: and again that will be an eight o'clock tip if
Speaker 1: you have not heard, it is out now eight o'clock tip.
Speaker 1: Sixers Nets Game five Tuesday Night live from the Center.
Speaker 1: And as outside of Joel and Beating to Bias Harris
Speaker 1: and their strong performances, we cannot ignore Ben Simmons and
Speaker 1: his very good game. Although he did not have the
Speaker 1: same point total as he had last game with the
Speaker 1: thirty one points, but tonight very efficient seven of twelve
Speaker 1: this afternoon part of me. Seven of twelve from the
Speaker 1: floor in thirty eight minutes fifty three seconds, contributing fifteen points,
Speaker 1: eight rebounds, eight assists. Did have the four turnovers, as
Speaker 1: Tom talked about, when you get to the next rounds,
Speaker 1: the later rounds, you have to protect the basketball. He
Speaker 1: has been much better over the course of the series.
Speaker 1: But a tremendous game again from Ben Simmons. He keeps
Speaker 1: that strong play. Jimmy Butler with his eleven points in
Speaker 1: the twenty four minutes and three seconds that he played
Speaker 1: before he was ejected in the third quarter, four of
Speaker 1: six from the floor, a big three pointer that we
Speaker 1: point out that he had earlier in the game from
Speaker 1: Joel and beat a big one when the team needed
Speaker 1: it in the second quarter. Maybe that'll be one of
Speaker 1: our highlights. We'll see how that goes off the bench.
Speaker 1: Twenty two points total for the Sixers bench. And even
Speaker 1: when you have similar things, small things like Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: being ejected and you need to now tinker with the
Speaker 1: lineups a bit, as Brett Brown had to do. But
Speaker 1: t J McConnell went at one point towards the end
Speaker 1: of the quarter. TJ did make a short jumper for
Speaker 1: his only two points of the game, but as we know,
Speaker 1: with the score of the way it turned out only
Speaker 1: a four point win. Every point counts some misfree throws
Speaker 1: from Tobias Harris and Boba Marijanovic in the stretch in
Speaker 1: third quarter. Small little points like the two points from
Speaker 1: t J McConnell come into play at some point of
Speaker 1: the game, as it did tonight again with the six
Speaker 1: this afternoon. With the Sixers winning one twelve, one h
Speaker 1: eight on the other side, we will get to those
Speaker 1: highlights called by Tomy Guinness. This is the Sixers postgame show.
Speaker 1: One twelve, one h eight Sixers up three one in

Speaker 1: of his three mates from behind the three point line.

Speaker 1: things off really fast in the second quarter. Jimmy Butler,
Speaker 1: as we know, we did not get a chance to
Speaker 1: see him in the third quarter. Great play by Joel
Speaker 1: and Bead recognizing Jimmy Butler in the corner. Here's a
Speaker 1: beach hold up to the lane one on one with
Speaker 1: Ronnie Hollas Tefferson. They start to double him in the corner.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler three ball bang, it's good, good fight. Nice

Speaker 1: ultimately win the game. Mike Scott with another three point
Speaker 1: of four the Philadelphia seventy sixers in the second quarter.
Speaker 1: Here's Tobias in the lane, back out to the near
Speaker 1: side Scott for three. Got it. Mike Scott on target.
Speaker 1: Nice feed by Harris and it's a one point game.
Speaker 1: Oh fifty three fifty two nets at that point. At
Speaker 1: the end of two for the seventy sixes and the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets, the score was sixty three fifty seven. Tobias
Speaker 1: Harris with a fantastic afternoon with twenty four points and
Speaker 1: driving layup converting at the room. Here's DeAngelo Russell Joel
Speaker 1: blocked out sections on the run, good deepense by a
Speaker 1: beat Simmons to Harris in a Dudley layup up and
Speaker 1: good right around Jared Dudley. Tobias Harris scores. The ball
Speaker 1: took a little body contact, sixty seven fifty nine. At
Speaker 1: that point, the score sixty seven sixty one. When everything
Speaker 1: just started to go haywire in Brooklyn as the fouls
Speaker 1: and the technicals and the ejections took place. But once
Speaker 1: everything seemingly calmed down, that's when Ben Simmons goes hard
Speaker 1: to the basket for the finish. He's got twelve. The
Speaker 1: gaer seven just dumps it. He dumps some on the
Speaker 1: left hand down the right side over Jared Allen. What
Speaker 1: a play by Ben Simmons. The last two field goals
Speaker 1: for the sexual very athletic play before that in bad
Speaker 1: with the leaning floater to make it sixty nine sixty three.
Speaker 1: Simmons follows up with a layup and the foul to
Speaker 1: make it seventy five seventy Brooklyn carras Lavert, though trying
Speaker 1: to pull away the nets in the third quarter, called
Speaker 1: upside Labert Labert knock it down Ennis and now Labert
Speaker 1: for three s. N Us recovers, but Labert puts the
Speaker 1: Paris Labert and Spencer good with it currently offense up
Speaker 1: load for Brooklyn. Nice adjustment by head coach Kenny Atkinsons,
Speaker 1: who insert carras Lavert in the starting lineup. He finished
Speaker 1: the afternoon with twenty five points on nine of eighteen,
Speaker 1: shooting six assists in five rebounds as well. Ninety one
Speaker 1: eighty three was to score at that point. Six Is
Speaker 1: add another basket to make it ninety one eighty five.
Speaker 1: Going into the fourth quarter of Ben Simmons to Ennis
Speaker 1: for layup to make it ninety one eighty nine. Joel

Speaker 1: and beat with another layup one oh two, one oh one,
Speaker 1: eight straight points for your all star center D'Angelo Russell,
Speaker 1: though was not having it that. Russell fakes the three.
Speaker 1: Russell shoots a three headed Piangelo Russell with a dagger.
Speaker 1: Brooklyn leads by two, one oh six, one oh four.
Speaker 1: How about this offensive rebound by Ben Simmons JJ Reddick
Speaker 1: with a quick counter Bet Simmons going right up. Jared
Speaker 1: Allen shoots in the label the right hand too hard.
Speaker 1: No good got his own rebound out the Ruddick for
Speaker 1: the lead. He's good. J J Reddick. He a three
Speaker 1: had the sixers half pack of the lead. Again, quiet
Speaker 1: afternoon for JJ Reddick in Brooklyn, but nothing bigger than
Speaker 1: that one for him to give the seventy six is
Speaker 1: a one point lead. Joe Harris then with a backdoor
Speaker 1: cut to lay up over Joel and b to make
Speaker 1: it one oh eight, one oh seven. But we're wondering
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Who's gonna get the big shot to
Speaker 1: give the seventy sixers to win. How about this man
Speaker 1: right here, Mike Scott along the air sideline, runs out
Speaker 1: top Harris, cut into the ball. He goes into Tobias Harris.
Speaker 1: Harris pulls up Lobson into Joel If he dropped it
Speaker 1: to the corner bike Scott play the top of good bike.

Speaker 1: out bike two. Final field goal for the team as
Speaker 1: they went to the free throw line, Tobias Harris to
Speaker 1: knock down two free throws to give them the four
Speaker 1: point advantage one twelve, one oh eight, but a huge
Speaker 1: shot by Mike Scott acquired at the trade deadline by
Speaker 1: Elton Brand along with Tobias Harris, am Boby Marianovitch, and
Speaker 1: Elton Brand pointed out how Mike Scott was not just
Speaker 1: a throwin. He's a veteran who has been in postgame experience,
Speaker 1: some big games. Making it to the Eastern Conference finals.
Speaker 1: This is not an opportunity that he will shy away from.
Speaker 1: And we saw that this afternoon in the victory one
Speaker 1: twelve one h eight with a huge three pointer. He
Speaker 1: was overall on the afternoon, three or six from the floor,
Speaker 1: two or four from deep, eight points, eight rebounds in
Speaker 1: twenty six minutes and forty nine seconds. Just strong play
Speaker 1: from the bench. Overall contributions all around, and the Sixes
Speaker 1: again up three one in the series as they head
Speaker 1: back to Philadelphia Tuesday night, eight o'clock tip and you
Speaker 1: will hear that certainly right here on the Sixers Radio
Speaker 1: Network in the Home of Sixers Basketball once again, one twelve,
Speaker 1: one oh eight. The Sixers came away with twenty turnovers
Speaker 1: on the afternoon, but they were lucky to get away
Speaker 1: from that. Brooklyn very protective of the basketball fourteen, but
Speaker 1: some bad ones late in the game. Sixers score fourteen
Speaker 1: points off of those turnovers at that Brooklyn committed the
Speaker 1: Toronto apartment the Brooklyn. That's twenty five points off the
Speaker 1: Sixers twenty turnovers. But everything played out the way it
Speaker 1: needed to play it out. Eight more field goal makes
Speaker 1: by the seventy Sixers at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: The free throws down the stretch, they made them, and
Speaker 1: once again they dominated on the glass fifty five forty two,
Speaker 1: still assisting the basketball twenty five assists on forty four
Speaker 1: mate baskets. Everybody can take a little bit of a
Speaker 1: deep breath, but do not underestimate that Brooklyn team because
Speaker 1: they do play the Philadelphia seventy six is very tough.
