WEBVTT - Rewind | Embiid, Sixers Start Strong 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.640 This podcast is part of the seventy Sixers Podcast network 0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:07.960 search seventy Sixers podcast wherever you get your pods you're 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:11.639 listening to Rewind. They'll listen back on press conferences, highlights 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:16.079 and analysis from the seventy Sixers, previous games, and Sixers 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.640 basketball is back. Great stuff from the team tonight. It's 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.040 obviously preseason, so you don't want to get too carried away. 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.320 But as Brian Selton mentioned during the broadcast, so many 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:30.000 times after being away for so long since March eleventh 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.920 at the center, getting back together in August during the bubble, 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.640 but having it back now in December. Although no fans 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.599 definitely missed you guys, it was great to see them 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.559 back on their floor in South Philadelphia walking away with 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.519 the victory one oh eight ninety nine. So many different 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.879 things to discuss with this basketball team. Joel Embiide his 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.200 usual self in sixteen minutes and forty eight seconds with 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.720 eighteen points on the offensive end. If you look at 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.880 the newest editions, Seth Curry and Danny Green only combining 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.560 for ten points, but you can see with them being 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.440 out there on the floor right now, the focus during 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.360 y'all season of new president of basketball opts. That would 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.479 be Darryl Moorey. The focus at shooting. When they're out there, 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.840 you have to respect them. Better opportunities for Joel Embiid 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.600 and for the folks who return like Tobias Harris twenty 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.240 five minutes and forty two seconds, seven of eleven from 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.720 the floor for sixteen points, adding nine rebounds during his 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.880 time out there for the seventy six ers, Ben Simmons 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.399 looking for everyone else. That's how I'll describe his play today. 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.960 In the first half, only focused on getting his teammates involved, 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.800 still trying to figure things out, although they've had quite 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.919 a few practices together, still trying to understand where everyone 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.319 is going to be, where they liked the basketball. He 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:51.080 ended up with ten points and six assists. Very aggressive 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.639 coming out of the locker room in the third quarter 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.280 looking for his but in the first half really really 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.360 focused on getting the basketball to his shooters off the bench. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.200 Nineteen points for Shake Milton, eight or fourteen from the floor, 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.800 three or six from deep, three assists, four rebounds in 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.600 twenty three minutes, in fourteen seconds, and most importantly, outside 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.200 of the shooting, he looked comfortable out there on the floor, 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.520 so you have to believe that all the work that 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.800 he got before the pandemic shut down the league and 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.680 shut down our country, and then when he went back 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.040 into the bubble and August and played as well as 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.800 he did, he now has a role that he understands 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.639 in which he will be having with this basketball team, 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.120 coming off the bench, both as a scorer and a facilitator, 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.720 as someone who can lead the offense and run the team. 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.240 And that's exactly what you got from Shake Milton Tonight. 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.639 Great energy from the reserves like Dwight Howard, fur con 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:51.160 Quirkmise and Tyrese Maxie in the fourth quarter. So while 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.080 Shake Milton took over in the third, Tyrese Maxie in 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.679 the fourth quarter win, all of the reserves really got 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.959 to get some extended time. Maxie played the entire fourth quarter. 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.840 He was four of six. You can see the energy. 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.840 He was just buzzing as soon as he got out 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.000 there on the floor, just chomping at the bit to 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.520 get out there. And he did not disappoint to the 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.760 tune of four of six from the floor for his 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.799 eight points, three assists, as well two personal fouls. Well, again, 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.240 a young player, very energetic getting his hands in there 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.640 from time to time, sticking him in the cookie jar, 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.920 and the officials are gonna call that. So just a 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.800 nice performance to start things off. We'll get to the 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.679 rest of the box score as we go along and 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.880 talk about the Celtics, what the Sixers did overall, shooting 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.280 from the floor, from behind the three point line, free throws, 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.880 We'll do it all, but we're gonna go back to 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.960 the South Philadelphia and check in with our man who 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.200 does it all from pre and post game to filling 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.920 in for Tom mcguinnis for the actual game call here 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.560 on the Sixers Radio network. That would be Brian seltzer 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.280 be Celts. What's up, dude, Oh man, Good to have you, bet, 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.640 good to hear you. How about that? I don't know. 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.240 I thought some rust there. I used to do this, 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.880 certainly not this level lot back in the day. But 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.520 I appreciate the Delaware Valley for those that listen tonight, 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.720 you know, hanging in there well, sets. It was great 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.840 to hear you back out there, as you said during 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.400 this in a different life, and you have not skipped 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.880 to be I agree. I think tyl Uzuli would agree 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.400 with that back here, and so will the people in 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.200 the Delaware Valley. But as we talk about it back 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.640 in the building tonight, before we get to the actual 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.279 game play, well, just can you just explain for the 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.760 people who could not be there in the building what 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.640 it was like to be back at the Center. Although 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.800 no fans Derek Hays, as you mentioned Doc Rivers giving 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.600 him a nice shout out for the things that he 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.600 did with the opposite inside the building and making it 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.479 feel like being back at home. What was it like 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.520 being back in the building for the first time since 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.280 March eleventh? You know, do you when the actual play 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.880 started and you were zeroed in at looking at what 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.960 was going on in between the lines on the court, 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:54.680 you kind of got lost in a little bit and 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.040 you heard the crowd noise being pumped in a bit 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:01.680 and nothing that was, you know, completely oxious or distasteful. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.279 But it felt like once the game was going and 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.080 you locked in, like you kind of forgot about a 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.240 little bit and listen, it was just for me. Listen, 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:10.960 I'm a lucky guy. I'm sitting here and I got 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.599 to be in the building and watched the game tonight. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.160 It was just really nice to see basketball being played 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.479 in a building where the team in recent years, and 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.600 certainly last season had so much success, and then when 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.080 it comes down to the esthetics part of it, I'm biased, 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.719 but I think the Sixers do this as well as anyone. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.880 Like the branding touches and those sorts of things. You 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.880 look out across, you don't see rows of empty black seats. 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.360 You have blue tarps covering full sections and different design 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.279 touches that speak to the Sixers logo, whether it's the 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.360 Circle of Stars, the segmented playoffs sake, the Philadelphia Curse 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:48.160 of Script, the Sixers e nt Dan Squad was here, 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:53.080 the stickers, Christian Crosby DJ Ghost. You know there were 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:57.919 new led boards position behind the baseline area that have 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.640 different graphics and also show what's being displayed on the 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.600 main video screen. So for as much as the Sixers 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.800 could utilize vacant space, the game op staff did that 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.760 and I thought it was nice and I agree with 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.560 what Doc said after the game if anyone missed it, 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.240 there is a home flare. You're missing the people, of course, 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.320 but for as much as you could try and generate 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.960 a home flare, there was that tonight well, and the 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.479 home flare of course being back at home feels good 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.159 to be back into building, feels good sells to see 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.520 the seventy sixers back out there, the new look team 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.920 led by still Joel and b Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris, 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.080 but now the infusion of the shooting with Seth Curry 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.040 and Danny Green as well in the starting lineup tonight 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.440 with those three returning starters of Embat, Simmons and Harris, 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.000 and you could see it right away that the guys 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.080 were focused on trying to get them going as well 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.040 while running their offense. I would agree, and I think 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.760 one of the most important takeaways that anyone could have 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.039 from what we heard from Doc Rivers after the game 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.520 is the following theme. And it's something that's not just 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.359 something you want to apply to the first pre season 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.000 game or second one or the first month of the 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:06.919 second month. I think that what buys coaches credibility and 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.040 additional buying is when they show how they can take 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.880 players games to a new level. And this whole notion 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.640 of docer was talking about, we didn't run stuff for 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.360 Joel Embiid, but he still got his eighteen. We ran 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.080 our stuff, not his stuff. The ball still found him. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:23.520 He was our best player, the ball is going to 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.240 find him. He's still going to get his numbers. And 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.160 I think that if you apply that notion to the 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.720 rest of the roster, where if Doc can dial up 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:38.119 a system where players feel like their skills are being 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:43.120 utilized to the max, then that's where you build a 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.400 trust and you get more buying. So I thought that 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.920 that was a really great point that Doc made after 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.040 the game, that you know, Joe was still able to 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.400 get to a level probably that he would have been 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.320 pleased with production wise while running a system not necessarily 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.800 stuff made for him. I forget the rest of your question, 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.160 but that was a point that I wanted to make 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.120 because I thought it was a good one that Doc raised. 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.559 But yeah, man, and I think what you said Shake 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.400 and the confidence factor. I don't know about you. I 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.360 thought that when the team came back from the bubble, 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.360 I'm sorry, went into the bubble after that break, it 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:14.880 was like he had a couple months to look at 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.680 what he did right before the pandemic, and there was 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.840 just a different vibe around Shake, like a different level 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:24.000 of quiet confidence. Yes, and early when you guys, when 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.840 we talk about that and we look back at the bubble, 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.000 in August. Early on he struggled just a bit, you know, 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.480 being the starter next to Ben Simmons, trying to figure 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.120 it out because when he was starting and having the success, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.280 Ben Simmons, as we know, was down at that time. 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.480 So when Simmons did return and then ultimately going back out, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.480 you can see that shake Milton that you're talking about, 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.280 and for him to do what he did tonight Salt's 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.760 eight or fourteen, coming in as a primary backup at 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.640 first and then starting in for Danny Green in the 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.679 third quarter and really just going off and finishing with 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.200 nineteen points, he just looked like a different player out there, 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.880 understanding what his role is and knowing what is the 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.440 act of him From the coach, no question, Brad Stevens 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.280 sent a trap at him at one point, and I think, 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.920 you know, again, it's just the first preseason game. But 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:11.920 one thing that really stood out to me d was, 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.160 you know, when fully healthy, I think the Sixers bench 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.000 and it could be really good. I know Boston was 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.240 missing some people, but even still, like everyone knows the Celtics, 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.640 the Sixers see them multiple times a year, and I 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.480 just I'm like, I look at what the Sixers have 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.319 on the bench. You bring in guys, you know, someone 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.600 like Dwight Howard and how much at thirty five energy 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.480 it still seems like he has left to do the 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.120 different things he needs to do. And provided that you 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.720 continue to see the development from guys like fur Con 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.880 and Shake and hopefully Mike Scott has a bounced back year. 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.040 I mean, I could see how this bench could really 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.560 be a weapon for the Sixers. Yeah, of course, And 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.240 you're absolutely right. I can't wait to see those Shake 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.640 Milton Dwight Howard connections during the regular season when it 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.560 really counts. Brian Seltz and jonah Is from South Philadelphia 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.760 in for Tom mc ginnis on the game call. Its 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.400 six win, one h eight ninety nine in their first 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:06.600 preseason tune up for the twenty twenty one campaign and 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.360 Selt and you talk to him, he was the guy 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.120 in a fourth quarter of shake control things in the 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.640 third Tyrese Maxie, the first round pick of the seventy sixers, 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.440 he really got things going, playing the full twelve in 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.640 the fourth, four or six from the floor, did have 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.280 three assists for eight points selves. As soon as he 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.840 got in there, you could see maybe a little bit 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.120 of the nervousness, but more of the energy, the buzz, 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.560 the happiness of being out there on the floor and 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.880 to continue through your postgame interview with him. One big 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.520 difference divon this year compared to previous seasons is that, 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.040 and I'm not saying the media has this great perceptive 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.120 insight on stuff, but at least you know if someone 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.440 says something to coach or a player in their media availability. Typically, 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.439 under normal circumstances, we'd have the opportunity to watch a 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.600 portion of practice and see if things line up. And 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.760 this year, because access is understandably and rightfully so limited 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.640 surrounding the team, the most important thing is their health. 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.000 You don't get highlights from practice those sorts of things 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:02.680 on a regular basis, so all we had to go 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.480 off of tonight entering the game was what we heard. 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.520 And one thing that we heard in recent days was 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.640 when Tyrese checked into practice, he did good things, communicated 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.720 well on defense, high energy, could score in different ways, 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.600 and we saw that. And people have talked about his 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.800 motor and his energy. He's just like like one of 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.760 those guys is just like got that bounce, got that 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.200 pogo stick, got that smile. I'm excited to see you 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.200 more of him. I think it looks like his handle 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.120 is really good and natural, which could certainly help his 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.600 push for more minutes. And I think if the one 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.240 thing you're trying to take away from tonight was like, hey, 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.320 does this guy look like at some point with more experience, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:42.960 could he belong a bit? I think that that's what 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.160 you saw it at him tonight. Absolutely, And when you 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.680 speak about him in trying to find those minutes and 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.360 find himself into in that rotation, that just goes back 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.840 to your point of the bench and the depth, because 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.520 now you're looking at as possibly as I look at 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.839 things right now, ten deep with Milton Cork Moss, how 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:04.240 it Scott in Thiable, and then you incorporate Bradley and 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.000 Maxie and see where you can try to find minutes 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:08.880 for those guys. A good problem to have for the 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.480 seventy Sixers, no question. And now it's advancing to Game 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.840 two against the Pacers and see what the Sixers can 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.600 build on from here. I mean, I think, at least 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.440 for me, I try to temper myself with things that 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.880 I see, and you know, I wouldn't be surprised if 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:29.199 across the league we see it's a multiple week maybe 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:33.480 a month plus for teams to really find their stride, 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.560 get into a groove, and get into a rhythm. But 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.920 I thought that, like listen for eight days and just 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.880 one day off so far worth of practices. I mean, 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.600 tonight went pretty well. I think that there were the 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.720 building blocks and a foundation for an aggressive defense which 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.280 Doc Rivers has talked about. And I think we saw 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.640 some set plays the Sixers ran that we're creative and effective, 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.520 and I'm just really excited to see how this continues 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.320 to unfold, not only Friday come up against Indy, but 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.079 to the first couple of weeks of the regular season. 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.480 Absolutely sellswell, great stuff. Man, good good to hear you 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.439 back out there. You'll be back on the call on 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:12.480 Friday for the Indiana Pacers hosting the Philadelphia seventy Sixers. 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.040 We'll be talking to you then, man, Thank you, thank you, dude. 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.880 Sixers win one O eight ninety nine in preseason game 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.960 number one. Up next the Indiana Pacers on the road 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.160 in Indianapolis for a game number two, this time for 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.240 some of the audio highlights called by Brian Seltzer here 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.160 on the Sixers Radio network. As we talked about the 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.000 Sixers getting the victory. Well, we were very excited to 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.199 see some of the newer players, one in particular because 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:41.319 of his outside shooting, Seth Curry. Joel Embiad brings it up. 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.760 We'll start in the near right wing dribble, hand off 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.840 to Seth Curry's Curry giving a lot of room top 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:49.000 of the keep chopper and he connects second long two 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.680 for Curry, who played last season with the Dallas Mavericks, 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.840 coming to the seventy sixers and a draft night trade 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.880 involving Josh Richardson, Seth Curry right there knocking down his 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.720 second of the quarter. He finished the night tonight with 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.280 seven points on three of eight shooting, and that made 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.320 it eight six Boston. And while the new guys got 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.840 things involved very early, when one of the older players, 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.319 one of the leaders of the team, Ben Simmons, with 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:18.400 his usual bucket thirteen ten Celtics six or nine left 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.600 first quarter of Boston, turns it over in the front quarter. 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.560 Harris comes up with a lob had to Ben Simmons. 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.320 Simmons and one had a touch past the green on 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.280 the right wing. Pump Fake Day goes to the baseline 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.280 inside seven two slices in for the pump in the bucket. 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.760 Kind of a broken play, but the seventy sixers stuck 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.280 with it and Ben Simmons was able to finish it 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.680 off to bring the Sixers within one a chance to 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.360 tie again, a usual bucket attacking where he sees an 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.680 opening finishing at the room thirteen twelve Sixers. At that 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.080 point we go to another newcomer to close the things 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.000 out in the first quarter of bit Dwight Howard connecting 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.200 with Shake Milton, shot clock at ten for the Sixers. 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.360 Milton dribbles into traffical on the right sideline, split the triple, 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.640 furrows it up for the lob. Dwight Howard flushes at 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:03.080 home twenty nineteen. Six Ers build the lead back to 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.560 ten after something those two have been working on in practice. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.640 Ten seconds left the first cannot wait to see more 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.240 of that during the regular season. Dwight Howard were five 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.040 off the bench that again from Shake Milton, which was 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.920 in this particular game one of his three assists. Sixes 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.800 up twenty nine nineteen after one vertkon Korkmise a lot 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.160 of people curious to see what he does, and in 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.880 doc rivers offense here in Philadelphia, Well, one of the 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.080 first three guys off the bench in the rotation goes 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:37.240 to the basket. Fish is strong and the corkmise top 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.000 of the arc trying to spin away from Tea. Good 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.119 pressure by team korkmis takes him inside, gets the contact 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:46.400 and the connection. Corkmis standing with it put some pounds 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:47.840 on in the off season, you can see it in 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.200 the upper chest. But he spun from Tea to the 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.280 top of the arc and then fought right through the 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.760 contact at the foul line inside, switched the dribble from 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.720 the left hand to his right, went up and poloted 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.000 it in for the Finnish, using that size advantage over 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.640 a smaller defender, and Jeff t again furkon. Cork Mos 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.600 right there making thirty five twenty six, seventy six is 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.760 jeeling bad gets into the mix, finishes with eighteen on 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.280 the night, but very aggressive for the big fellow right here, 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.280 cork moths far left wing entry passed to him being 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.600 a left block with a shot block at seven couple dribbles, 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.840 jump hook to the right is good and he he's 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.080 able to draw the foul on. Robert Williams the third 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.160 a little bark from Joel and Bad after getting the 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.040 conversion two driples with the right hand and a power 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:36.560 move to his right fifty forty four at the break. 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.520 That particular bucket made it thirty nine thirty Joel and 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.280 Bad finishing the night with eighteen points. Four in the 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.680 Philadelphia seventy six is Danny Green, another newcomer getting into 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.080 the mix to start things off in the third quarter 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.880 from d Simmons, pushes the pace pocket picked by fellow 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.400 all defensive player Mark is Spark, great player ahead of 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.720 Dante Great great explodes and slams home two with the 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.960 right hand. Wow, that was impressive all the way around. 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.320 I mean you rarely see that that Simmons steam rolling 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.040 into the front court as his pocket pick. Look at that. 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:09.800 You have two Greens in the game, and I get 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.200 one mixed up. Great work by Tyl Lazuli because Green 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.760 does in fact get a great play there. Javonte Green 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:20.000 with two of his five points for the slam shake Milton, 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.119 as we talked about, tremendous work in the third quarter 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.600 at fifteen total in the quarter, it was his he 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.600 extended the lead for them in the third quarter. Here 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:31.679 is one of his buckets to make it sixty one 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.119 fifty two. Sim It's quickly into the front court over 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.800 right wing Milton for three and he's got it. Shake 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.960 Milton the seventy six with a couple of three is 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.720 on back to back possessions from Milton to Bias a 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.960 nine point game. Oh that's not it. We're not going 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.520 to stop there. This made it his twelve point of 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.240 the fourth quarter. Shake Milton left side three on the 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.879 way for the Sixers, knocks it down. Shake Milton is 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:58.600 up to twelve points. He is the third seventy sixer 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:02.280 and double figures two three from outside the ark. Reminds 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.080 you of how good he was at the end of 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.800 last season. Again finishing with fifteen in the quarter on 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.760 six of nine, shooting three or five from deep, and 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.280 playing all twelve minutes in the third frame. A nice 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.080 showing from him and again just being able to have 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.280 that as something that he can do going forward. That 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.679 would be tremendous to see from Shake Milton off the 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.359 bench after three quarters eighty two seventy two sixers with 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.639 the advantage in the fourth quarter. Two newcomers we're going 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.840 to focus on here. Tony Bradley first with one of 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:40.760 his buckets here for the Philadelphia seventy six ers, and 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:44.600 that one made it ninety two seventy nine for Tony 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.919 Bradley here tonight for the seventy six ers. He finished 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:51.240 with three points on the evening and his debut as 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.080 a sixer as a third center on this roster.

They're playing six minutes and fifty 0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:00.280 six seconds and next up, demand of the fourth order 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.080 that we've been talking about since the game ended.

Brad Stevens calls a 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.800 time out, puts his hands up in there, he says, guys, 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:01.320 so let me tell you exactly what he did.
