WEBVTT - Playoff Pod: Episode 12 - James Ennis III, Game 2 Adjustments

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.840
<v Speaker 1>There were moments and some flashes in game one, you're

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the lad of bad Man show Joe with a thrown out.

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>You're spending on a drive by one match. Damn jam

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>bet Sevens goes right, dobate and slams it, but ultimately

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>not enough. As the seventy Sixers bound in defeat, Leonard

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>on the drive bumped by Harris puts it up. Remain good.

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Of course it's good. He's got forty five. Did not

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>see this one coming here in game one. We talk

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>what else adjustments and catch up with James Ennis the

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>third on this episode of the broadcast. How are you

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>out there in seventy Sixers podcast Land. I'm Brian Seltzer.

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Always great to have you along to listen to the show,

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 1>and hey, here's the good news. After game once in

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the postseason, there are always game twos, a whole lot

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>of series left be played. Saturday night obviously did not

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>go the seventy Sixers way in there one away ninety

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>five loss to the Toronto Raptors. Butts, there were good

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>vibes at practice on Sunday afternoon, and the Sixers seem

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 1>to have a pretty sound idea of where they can

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>improve tighten things up, and now the question becomes a

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 1>matter of whether or not they can go out and

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>do it. We'll talk about what some of those adjustments

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 1>might be put Game one to bed. Here from James,

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's the third on this edition of the podcast.

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.759

<v Speaker 1>these seventy six ers postseason run. All right, coming up,

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>insights from James Ennis the third. He's got a history

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>with two of the top stars on the Raptors, Marcus

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>sol and Kawhi Leonard will get into that. I thought

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>he had a really nice game on Saturday coming off

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:20.239
<v Speaker 1>the bench. But first, what to make of Game one

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Saturday at Scotia Bank Arena Kawhi Leonard truly, what can

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you say? The man's stat line was pretty magnificent. Forty

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>five points, sixteen to twenty three from the field, three

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>three pointers, ten for eleven the free throw line, eleven boards,

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>two dimes, two steals, a monstrous block shot, plus twenty

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>six in thirty eight minutes of play for the seventy

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 1>six ers. I don't think it was for lack of effort.

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>You go back and watch the game, and they contested

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Kawai shots. ESPN said seventeen of Kawhi leonards twenty three

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 1>field goal attempts were contested. NBA dot Com had the

0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>number at seven. Leonard simply is one bad, bad man, emotionless, expressionless.

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Leonard's origin store you probably know well San Diego State,

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>fifteenth overall pick in two eleven. It was originally drafted

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>by the Indiana Pacers, who then traded him to the

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Spurs later that night, and in the war room that

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>evening for the Spurs as an assistant coach Brett Brown,

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 1>each year Leonard has gotten better. Brett Brown worked with

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 1>him for the first two years of his career in

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the NBA and then came to the seventy six Ers,

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and naturally he's kept close tabs on how Leonard has

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>grown and the force that he's now becomes come along

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>leaps and bounds, you know, incrementally, just every year gets

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 1>more dominant, you know. And even when I came to

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia those years that I was in Philadelphia looking in

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the review mirror of him evolving under Pap and in

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the San Antonio Spurs system, that you could just see like,

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>did this things trending in an incredible way? And too

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 1>sort of fast board that can look at his skill

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>package tonight in the variety of ways that he's scored

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and could get his shot off on some pretty good

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>defensive players of big athletes, was incredibly impressive. I really

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 1>do think that if you haven't gone back and checked

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>out either the highlights to watch portions of the game

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>a second time around, you'll come away thinking that Leonard

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.919
<v Speaker 1>was even more impressive after just watching how the Sixers

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 1>tried on him and Leonard, whether it was drives to

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the rack, turnaround shots, jumpers, he was just that much

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>more impressive, I thought, at least for me watching a

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>second time around. JJ Raddick, who led the seventy sixers

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 1>with seventeen points in Saturday's game. It's been pretty consistent

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.359
<v Speaker 1>with his thoughts and stances on Leonard. Here were some

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>of his takeaways. He's a spectacular player, and he had

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 1>a spectacular night. And he back to their shots and

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>said this morning, he's a superstar. I mean, he's as

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>good as there is in the NBA, generating his own

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>shot and then making tough shots. Sometimes you just have

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to tip your hat to him. We can execute our

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>game playing a little better, but clearly we need to

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 1>figure out, you know, what we're doing with him in

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>seat him. Yes, Pascal Siak him twenty five years old,

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventh pick in two thou sixteen. He was fantastic too.

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>And then there was Marcus Ault. Nothing flashy about the

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>veteran big man's game, but he was impactful defensively, as

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>we saw Joel Embiid held to an uncharacteristic five to

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>eighteen shooting. He only got to the line six times

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>and grabbed eight boards. Shot above the simage. So I'm

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>better ball, know Joust. And there you have it. We've arrived,

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:53.799
<v Speaker 1>once again at the operative word of any postseason series

0:05:54.040 --> 0:06:01.919
<v Speaker 1>involving multiple games, adjust adjusting adjustments. What do the seventy

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>sixers have in mind? Where do they focus their attention

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>in terms of tightening things up Sunday at practice. We'll

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>get to that a little bit later on, but first

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to bring on a guy who I thought

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>did as well as he could Saturday in Game one,

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's James and as the third the Sixers bench

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>was thin, Mike Scott injured and as came in gave

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.239
<v Speaker 1>the six or eleven points on four or five shooting

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and nice and one in the first quarter, three pointer

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>in the game as well, got to the line for

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.280
<v Speaker 1>a few free throws, and specifically he gave the Sixers

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>what they were missing in terms of their sixth man

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 1>off the bench, Scott, a shooter and a defender as

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the third a spark in Game one, and we discussed

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>that more Sunday after practice. James. It was obviously a

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>different round, definitely a different opponent. But you guys fell

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>behind oh one against Brooklyn. What's the focus that you

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>guys come back with the next day after a tough

0:06:55.839 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Game one loss? After this practice, paying warzons in details

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and I want to get into schemes and just be

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 1>more physical, I think, and have have fun playing together

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>like we did in Brooklyn against Brooklyn the games we

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>had one. Do you think from that Brooklyn series you

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>demonstrate that you guys are a resilient group. Would that

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>be a fair trade to say that you guys have Yeah, definitely.

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is an unbelievable team. We got elite

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>players on this team, and we have high hope. We

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>have high hopes, and um, we just gotta continue to believe.

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>That's that's what kind oftan. We just believe that we can,

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, achieve something really big. Tough to not have

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Mike Scott out there for game one, it seemed like

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you came out there with a really purposeful mindset. What

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>was your approach going into the first game of the

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>series against the Raptors. You know, Mike's a big key

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 1>key of this team. You know, it just sucks that

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>is injury that happened before the you know this series. Um,

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>but my mindset always is be a spark, being energy player. Um,

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 1>just come in with high energy defend and that's that's

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>why I sent coming in and then whatever happens after

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that happens. You are familiar with a couple of their

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>star players. Tell me about Marca Saul. What were some

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 1>of the interactions you had with him during your time

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>in Memphis? Mark, You know, he's a great, great guy. Um,

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I learned a lot from just you know, just being

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>more professional, you know, on off the court and taking

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>care of my body stuff like that, because I came

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>over there like my second my second year, so you know,

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>it was good. Good seeing Mark happy in a place.

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>You know that that I know he wanted to stay

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>in Memphis. You know, everybody doesn't like to get traded.

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>But he's doing he's doing well here and he's helping

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>helping Toronto. Then with Kawhi, I mean, he made some

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 1>tough shots. You guys can tested him a lot. What's

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the next step and do you look to adjust on

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>that front? Just you know, like he said, Kauhire is

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:03.680
<v Speaker 1>an elite scorer five player in NBA. UM plays both ends.

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>He made some tough shots, you know. Um, we watched

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the film. A lot of contested contested shots he had made,

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 1>hand in his face still made you know, we just

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>gotta be more physical, and you know because once he

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 1>gets to a spot, you know, that's what he works

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>on every day getting to a spot and raising. So

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>we just gotta be more physical at him, and UM,

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.839
<v Speaker 1>just show him, show them more crowds. I feel like, um,

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>there's not a lot of crowds. He didn't see a

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of crowds. He's seeing a lot of gaps and

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 1>so UM, moving forward, we just gotta show him, show more,

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>show more bodies. Last thing you're on a ride like

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>this came to this team at the trade deadline. How

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>much fun are you having? How much do you enjoy

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.719
<v Speaker 1>this time of year? You know, UM, are having a

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun. Before I kind of struggle, you know,

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>just just adapting to the to the situation. But over time,

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm happy I'm here. You know, great group

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:01.319
<v Speaker 1>of guys, coaching style, training staff. Um, you know this

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.360
<v Speaker 1>is the best team I played on, I've been on,

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.199
<v Speaker 1>and you know we have we could do big things

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and I truly believe that, and and I want to

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>do that with this team. You know, you don't get

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't get a team like this all the time,

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 1>so I might always take advantage of it. Amen. Thanks James.

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Good stuff from James. And it's the third A guy

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 1>who's traveled a long long ways and worked so hard

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>to get to where he is today. If you're not

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>familiar with his story when he had to sixs dot com,

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>or do a Google search for Lauren Rosen's great article

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>called Hustle, Hurdles and the Roadless Traveled. Lauren's been a

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 1>great part of our department this season and did a

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>terrific profile in James and it's the third all the

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>different places he's been, how he's gotten to the NBA,

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>and who he's doing it for and his motivations. Good stuff.

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Again the title the articles Hustle, Hurdles and the Roadless

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.680
<v Speaker 1>travel Look it up and give it a read. Look

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>at the team to adjustments in a moment. But first

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk to you about how, and this

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 1>hopefully will benefit you because we try to get back

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 1>here on the old podcast. How you can get in

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.559
<v Speaker 1>to one of these upcoming second round home games at

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the Center. One of the best ways to do it

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>a playoff sweet rental. It's the perfect way to entertain

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 1>client's family and friends, and Sweet rentals are now available

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 1>for all seventy sixers round to playoff home games. Here's

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>what Sweet rentals come with tickets, naturally parking and a

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 1>gourmet catering package. Not sure if you've ever had a

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.679
<v Speaker 1>sweet experience at the Center before, but they are terrific.

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Called two and five, three, three nine seven to six

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>seven six or email tickets at seventy six ers dot

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 1>com for more information. And of course, these seventy sixers

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>would love to head back to Philadelphia on Monday night

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 1>with a split of the first two games in Toronto

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>in hand, heading into home games on Thursday night and

0:11:55.400 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>then Sunday afternoon for that to happen. What's got to happen.

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 1>After a tough way to start the series with Saturday's

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 1>game when lost, the seventy six ers they got right

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 1>back to work on Sunday afternoon practicing at Scotia Bank Arena,

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and when the gym opened up you could feel it.

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 1>They were good, upbeat, positive vibes, and Tobias Harris spoke

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>about a couple of ingredients that were needed going into

0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.959
<v Speaker 1>Monday's game too. My said, you know, first office to

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.079
<v Speaker 1>stay positive, make an adjustment, go back to the drawing board,

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and get ready for game two. I mean it's a

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>quick turnover and we got to be able to have

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:34.959
<v Speaker 1>short term memory by at the same time, see a

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>couple of things that we can if we can enhance

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 1>so we can get better at on the floor offensively

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and defensively end. Just get ready and focus for the

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.080
<v Speaker 1>next game. Harris picked up his third career postseason double

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>double in Saturday's loss with fourteen points fifteen rebounds. Also

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>had six assists. Thought his rebounding, particularly in the first

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.319
<v Speaker 1>half of Saturday's game, was key to helping the Sixers

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>stay within striking distance of the Raptors. Sixers. They are

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 1>unquestionably going up against a different caliber of opponent right

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 1>now than what was the case in the first round.

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>But it's not like the Sixers have not faced an

0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 1>O one deficit to start a series before, and of

0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:13.320
<v Speaker 1>course happened just last round two weeks ago against Brooklyn. Obviously,

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 1>you want to win, but it's only one. You go

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>back to the draw. Warys figure it out, you know,

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 1>come practice, Markom in conversasion, we'll talk about what we're

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.439
<v Speaker 1>going to do. But the series is over. That was

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Butler Game one. He started off defending Kawhi Leonard.

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons finished the game as the primary defender on

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the three time All Star. How the Sixers guard Leonard

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 1>and also Pascal Siakam very obvious but imperative adjustment from

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>game number one going into at game number two, Harris

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>will likely continue to be a part of the group

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>that defends both fus off. Just improving our physicality and

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 1>versed them and then sean more of a crowd. I

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>thought last night we just kind of let them get

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to their spots on of course, give them credit to

0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.120
<v Speaker 1>they hit tough shots, even say in the film were

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.679
<v Speaker 1>all contested and whatnot, but getting more up in their

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 1>space and show them more of a krowd presented, more

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.079
<v Speaker 1>of a krowd, making other guys make plays, don't be

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>a big things. We got the Leonard Siakan thing as

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 1>key adjustment number one. As for what's number two on

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:17.439
<v Speaker 1>the list, A couple of the guys on the Sixers

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>spoke about this a practice on Sunday, the need for

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 1>more effective ball moving. If you look at some of

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 1>the numbers, the Sixers weren't passing any less than they

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>typically do on a per game basis on Saturday, and

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>their assist percentage numbers were relatively similar compared to what

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 1>they put up in the regular season. But the ball

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>just didn't go ultimately where it needed to. So the

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.640
<v Speaker 1>effectiveness of the seventy Sixers passing was on the seventy

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Sixers mind and obviously something that Ben Simmons is thinking about. Defensively,

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>they're great team guarding at first two ball moving players

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 1>and then after that it's a lot tough. So for us,

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>we've got to move the ball, and we just played

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the way we played. Um there we so glimpses that,

0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 1>but we didn't do it at all. I think the Sixers,

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>even their talent, the way they responded and adjusted and

0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 1>more than anything else, were resilient in the opening round

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 1>against Brooklyn. You've got to think that they will come

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 1>out with a stronger performance in game two Monday night.

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embiid, Of course, he's right up there in terms

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>of areas where the Sixers are looking to change things

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 1>from the first game to the second. Can they get

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>him going in more space, Can they plant him more

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>firmly on the block, get him in closer to the basket.

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 1>These are all big things the Sixers are going to

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>have on their minds and try to put together to

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 1>knock off Toronto and game two on Monday night. You know,

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>also I think we know the way this works, right,

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 1>We've seen it before Game ones. It's tough not to

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 1>have an immediate reaction and also tough not to overreact.

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 1>It's the first indicator of a series of the next

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 1>round against the new opponents. But it really comes down

0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to the time right now. Who can adjust, who can adapt,

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>who can make the correct tweaks to things around and

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 1>get on track. Really, I feel that game twos are

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 1>where series begin seventy six Ers and the Raptors. You

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 1>can find the game on television on TNT eight o'clock

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.520
