Speaker 1: This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back
Speaker 1: to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game, seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers beat that Denver Nuggets tonight by the final score
Speaker 1: of one seventeen to one ten on Brian Seltz from
Speaker 1: Sixers dot com News, starting lineup and a good result.
Speaker 1: Brett Brown is at the podium. We will listen and
Speaker 1: join in progress with a line up. At one point
Speaker 1: where it was Justine Jimmie had a bunch of matchco love.
Speaker 1: This is hilarious. Yes, I did so, Like how did
Speaker 1: you end up there? And that something you want to avoid,
Speaker 1: like sometimes we don't want to do that, but for
Speaker 1: one minute and forty four seconds you caught me. I
Speaker 1: did it. Sorry, you know, And I think I think
Speaker 1: that with Jimmy in the game, and like the bench
Speaker 1: is new, like the bench I think Mike Scott is,
Speaker 1: you know some of the other young guys we have
Speaker 1: and so ideally it's not something like you want to
Speaker 1: extend further. But I give you credit for your detective work.
Speaker 1: You're a practice together with this group. And yet he
Speaker 1: just beat Anver Nuggets team that's number two in the West.
Speaker 1: What do you think if the group had together that
Speaker 1: enable you to beat the team. I think that we
Speaker 1: all feel the responsibility that we have to take this circumstance,
Speaker 1: this situation in all of our kind of sporting lives,
Speaker 1: and I don't mean to be too dramatic, but it's
Speaker 1: true and maximize it. And to to come out and
Speaker 1: this fantastic sort of basketball atmosphere and the home crowd
Speaker 1: and to roll out on new team was a real
Speaker 1: special treat, you know, it was for me. And to
Speaker 1: see our guys and to see him with new teammates
Speaker 1: is just something special. And so the responsibility, the opportunity,
Speaker 1: this amazing sort of home crowd, we wanted to capitalize
Speaker 1: on that, and I think that that momentum can easily
Speaker 1: grow from this type of base First impressions of your
Speaker 1: new starting five, how do you think they did to
Speaker 1: get it tonight? I thought that they were unselfish. I
Speaker 1: thought we shared the ball, you know, we moved, we moved.
Speaker 1: I thought, quite well, when we didn't have the ball,
Speaker 1: we have way more to give, you know. He Ben
Speaker 1: and I were talking throughout the game. If you see
Speaker 1: my play call, she it's thin. It's very frugal, you know,
Speaker 1: I just wasn't able to put in that offense in
Speaker 1: two hours when I met him coming off a plane,
Speaker 1: and so like he didn't, we didn't have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to like really tap into Tobias, so really tap in
Speaker 1: even with Bovan and I thought that the group came
Speaker 1: in and shared the ball as a team. They played
Speaker 1: together with a very limited sort of time frame together.
Speaker 1: Seventy six Ers head coach Brett Brown after a one
Speaker 1: seventeen one ten wind over a real good Denver Nuggets
Speaker 1: team that is second in the Western Conference, seventy six
Speaker 1: Ers improved to thirty five and two with the win
Speaker 1: and build the bass, as Brett Brown described it, of momentum.
Speaker 1: With a revamped starting line of thirty four points for
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick, the second highest output of his entire NBA career,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler ends up with twenty two, doing a lot
Speaker 1: of work from the free throw line fourteen to fourteen.
Speaker 1: Joe Battled tonight fifteen points, twelve rebounds, a huge jumper
Speaker 1: to making an eight point game with around a minute
Speaker 1: to go, Also an enormous block on Malik Beasley down
Speaker 1: the stretch. Prior to that jumper. He was big in
Speaker 1: crunch time we mentioned JJ Reddick and Ben Simmons twelve
Speaker 1: points a dunk in the final minutes, and then the
Speaker 1: new guy Tobias Harris with fourteen points six or twelve
Speaker 1: shooting two to three outside the arc, eight rebounds and
Speaker 1: three assists to go with the steal. And the basic
Speaker 1: theme of all that as we take the parts and
Speaker 1: mash it all together, making it whole. The overriding theme
Speaker 1: from how this game ended. This new starting lineup everyone
Speaker 1: to close out the Denver Nuggets played a role in
Speaker 1: sending the seventy six Ers to a winning fine seventeen
Speaker 1: to one ten. Among the other new guys, boban Marjanovich
Speaker 1: finished with four points, two rebounds in justin or fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: I thought James Ennis had a really nice game six points,
Speaker 1: three rebounds, two assists, hit a couple timely corner three
Speaker 1: pointers that helped give the seventy six ers a lift
Speaker 1: they needed a lot tonight. Denver is an excellent team.
Speaker 1: Nikola Yokich is a tremendous player. Twenty seven points, ten rebounds,
Speaker 1: ten assists, a double bigger part in a triple double
Speaker 1: for the second time in as many meetings with the Sixers.
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray had twenty three, but the seventy Sixers had enough,
Speaker 1: going twenty nine of thirty two from the free throw line,
Speaker 1: a big stat in tonight's win. As the Sixers get
Speaker 1: back on track, we'll talk more about it with Tom McGinnis.
Speaker 1: He is waiting eagerly. Shall we mentioned to speak? Coming
Speaker 1: up next after this, it's the postgame showing the Sixers

Speaker 1: seven to six. As a challenging four game homestand continues
Speaker 1: for the seventy six Ers leading to the All Star
Speaker 1: Game break, a nice win over the Denver Nuggets to
Speaker 1: Night One seventeen to one ten on Brian Seltzer. We've
Speaker 1: got Tom McGinn a standing by. I believe we might
Speaker 1: have Ben Simmons at the podium. I think it was
Speaker 1: a quick exit for Ben. He was there. We do
Speaker 1: assure you that. But he has come and he has gone.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons in tonight's game twelve points, five and ten
Speaker 1: from the field, four rebound, six assists. Tom. I guess
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk the last forty eight
Speaker 1: hours or so about well, how is this starting unit
Speaker 1: gonna come together? And all these new pieces with the
Speaker 1: seventy six ers, And you know, I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: there were too many blatant evidences of a lack of
Speaker 1: chemistry tonight, But when the game mattered most the Sixers
Speaker 1: needed some separation down the stretch, Each one of the
Speaker 1: new starters left an imprint, no doubt about it. Harris
Speaker 1: had a big play. Jimmy obviously consistent and perfect eth line.
Speaker 1: What can you say about jj Reddick, not just at
Speaker 1: the end, but particularly early in the game, staking the
Speaker 1: Sixers to a huge opening lead. He had eighteen points
Speaker 1: in the first half in route to a season I
Speaker 1: thirty four points. Ben was good and then Joel and
Speaker 1: Bead who struggled throughout the night with a major defensive
Speaker 1: play with a block when of four this was at
Speaker 1: the rim, and then coming back with a face up
Speaker 1: jumper on Yoki, and there were some signs of you know,
Speaker 1: there were two three second calls for the Sixers because
Speaker 1: they were moving the ball around and guys got caught
Speaker 1: in the lane. And that's understandable, you know what I
Speaker 1: mean because in the NBA, with the clock at twenty
Speaker 1: four seconds and obviously on the reset after an offensive
Speaker 1: about only fourteen, you know, sometimes you don't have a
Speaker 1: chance to run a play. So the default action if
Speaker 1: he wills to go set a screen for somebody and
Speaker 1: start a little two man action and then try to
Speaker 1: get a little movement going toward the basket. Or the
Speaker 1: Sixers do a lot of that weaving around the three
Speaker 1: point arc, and that's going to take time. And then,
Speaker 1: as Brett Brown just stated, you know, he didn't have
Speaker 1: he works. I go in there and I interview coach,
Speaker 1: and again he's so gracious with his time. He is
Speaker 1: going over these call sheets. Those are plays you know,
Speaker 1: you see the offensive coaches in the National Football League
Speaker 1: with those big color coded Doug Peterson with those sheets. Well,
Speaker 1: NBA coaches do the same thing, and they've got a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of options for different players, and that thing
Speaker 1: will grow as the season goes along. But you know
Speaker 1: what he's got with play calls or not. He's got
Speaker 1: guys that can go out and get a basket. And
Speaker 1: Harris is really richly added to that, including Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: and Joel and driving, Ben Simmons and Reddick on the perimeter.
Speaker 1: And that's what you need to close out games. They
Speaker 1: did it with defense down the stretch, creating that separation
Speaker 1: and they got the baskets to pull away. They had
Speaker 1: a big ten to run in the guts the game
Speaker 1: one of three. The other two came early in the
Speaker 1: game of ten oh and seven o run in the
Speaker 1: opening quarter, but this one came with the game of
Speaker 1: the mind and it allowed them to pull away and
Speaker 1: get a seven point win. Seventy six Ers knock off
Speaker 1: the Nuggets one, seventeen one ten. Let's get into Tobias
Speaker 1: Harris a little bit more. Tom would you think, I mean,
Speaker 1: he really showed up late in the final six minutes,
Speaker 1: a big three pointer to send the seventy sixers in
Speaker 1: front that other tie breaking jump shot, and it seemed
Speaker 1: like he was able to do a lot of different
Speaker 1: things defensively as well. Well. He's got length, and you
Speaker 1: know tonight everyone talks about here's a stretch for that
Speaker 1: you've been looking for when the Sixers acquired him just
Speaker 1: two days ago. Well, tonight he was guarding Mason Plumley,
Speaker 1: and Plumbly was very efficient. He fouled out, but he's
Speaker 1: having a tremendous season for Denver and he normally, if
Speaker 1: you didn't have Yokis, he could be your starting center
Speaker 1: Mason Plumley. And like you say, he did a decent job.
Speaker 1: But again, to me, he's a score He's averaging twenty
Speaker 1: points of a game. He's made himself a three point
Speaker 1: shooter at over forty three percent from beyond the arc.
Speaker 1: He's six nine and able to put it on the deck.
Speaker 1: He's got fluidity going to the basket, very smooth player,
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna fit in nicely. And you know,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of bright moments, particularly at home
Speaker 1: twenty two victories for the Sixers here at the center,
Speaker 1: but one of them that stands out is that first
Speaker 1: three point shot by Harris. It got the crowd into
Speaker 1: a frenzy, Denver head to take time out, and it
Speaker 1: shows you a glimpse of what we hope will be
Speaker 1: many great moments to come. Speaking of mister Tobias, I
Speaker 1: believe we've got him at the podium here. He is,
Speaker 1: you know that, and a whole lot to me and
Speaker 1: to be the very good team, you know, regardless day.
Speaker 1: They've been a little banged up with injury, but you know,
Speaker 1: I know, coming from the West Coast, that team is
Speaker 1: no joke. And that was a good game for us,
Speaker 1: and we got great efforts from a lot of guys tonight.
Speaker 1: JJ came out fire and we just been rolling from there.
Speaker 1: But it was me personally, I'm just sitting here like wow,
Speaker 1: Like it was fine, It was fine. We are you
Speaker 1: trying to preserve anything that you wanted to do this
Speaker 1: say hey, I wanted to put compressions that any people
Speaker 1: to try and focus on it, says hey, I want
Speaker 1: to get into the well. I just wanted to playoff, um,
Speaker 1: the other other talent that we have on the floor.
Speaker 1: I wanted to come out and show how I can
Speaker 1: really help this team, and that is by being a
Speaker 1: guy out there that you know, for one, can um
Speaker 1: be versatile on the floor for us, can space the floor,
Speaker 1: create different actions. And so I just try to do
Speaker 1: a little bit of show a little in pockets everything
Speaker 1: that UM that I probably my game on and UM,
Speaker 1: you know, when you come into a new situation, you
Speaker 1: want to feel things out, but there's also a time
Speaker 1: where you have to be a little aggressive too. So
Speaker 1: I just really wanted to um kind of play in
Speaker 1: the flow of the game. And that's how I like
Speaker 1: to play the game. That's how probably myself to be
Speaker 1: at this point where I'm at now is just playing
Speaker 1: in the flow and playing playing together. And I thought
Speaker 1: I did a pretty good job of that. Tonight, Tobias
Speaker 1: Harris striking a similar balance that we heard Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: talk about upon joining the seventy six or a couple
Speaker 1: of months ago. Harris finishing with fourteen points, eight rebounds,
Speaker 1: and three assists to go with a steal in tonight's game.
Speaker 1: So tom as Brett Brown said, you know, one of
Speaker 1: the objectives not to make it too dramatic or maybe
Speaker 1: too hokey, is you know everyone you know, there's still
Speaker 1: a couple dozen, maybe a couple one hundred or so
Speaker 1: people in the building. Like everyone feels good right now.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of energy, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of momentum, and you just want to build off that.
Speaker 1: In the seventy six Ers in a very simplistic way
Speaker 1: of saying that they got that done with the wind
Speaker 1: going into Sunday's game against La no doubt about it,
Speaker 1: and that is you know that you don't get this.
Speaker 1: There's that boy, you wish you could take that All
Speaker 1: Star break in practice, That's just not how it works.
Speaker 1: These guys deserve a break. It's actually negotiated in a
Speaker 1: collective bargaining agreement. But they're gonna make do. And again,
Speaker 1: a lot of these things will be in shoot rounds
Speaker 1: or on film and walk throughs in terms of integrating
Speaker 1: the players and trying to get some of the things
Speaker 1: in place that they hope to do, but a lot
Speaker 1: of it's going to be implemented in the game. So
Speaker 1: now that sets up Sunday's game the Lakers with an
Speaker 1: exciting victory in Boston, with Rondo going back to Boston
Speaker 1: with a game winning shot. The Sixers beat the Lakers
Speaker 1: in La a competitive game Philadelphia and control almost the
Speaker 1: entire game. But there was no Lebron James in that game,
Speaker 1: and there was no Kyle Kuzma. And this will be
Speaker 1: a very intense game on Sunday afternoon. You know, the
Speaker 1: Lakers will be rested, they'll have not played since last night,
Speaker 1: and the Sixers, certainly with tomorrow to get ready for
Speaker 1: that game. It'll be exciting the Sixers and the Lakers.
Speaker 1: I mean, on national TV. There's a reason they picked
Speaker 1: these games. And certainly over the last few years, the
Speaker 1: Sixers have had so many great battles with Lebron and
Speaker 1: obviously a supreme talent. He missed that game. He was
Speaker 1: very close to coming back but didn't play in Staples Center,
Speaker 1: So that should be special. And you know, these guys
Speaker 1: will have another opportunity to kind of work through some things,
Speaker 1: even though they'll be off tomorrow and trying to get
Speaker 1: ready for that game. Tom Aginnis, we'll talk to you
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon. You got it, but thank you. Seventy

Speaker 1: the post is up. Next, Let's get to some of
Speaker 1: the highlights. Sixers trying to avenge a loss two weeks
Speaker 1: ago at Denver against the Nuggets, this time at relatively
Speaker 1: full strength. Welcome Tobias Harris to the seventy Sixers. Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons Cross Courts skipped in their side. Horrors that catch,
Speaker 1: the shout the Briers God and the Philadelphia fans love it.
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris reigns in a triple and he quickly summons
Speaker 1: the crowd. Yeah. Scored another one on a float or
Speaker 1: right after that, part of a ten nothing run that
Speaker 1: jumps started the seventy sixers. They would lead it by
Speaker 1: ten after one thanks to this high energy play five
Speaker 1: seconds ago. But Connell was a dribble. But Connell in
Speaker 1: liddle a joel, he guides it up a misses the head,
Speaker 1: cork bas ships and burk on court bos you got
Speaker 1: it thirty three twenty three. After a quarter of the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers kept the double digit margin in their favor
Speaker 1: early on in the second out to JJ. Corner three
Speaker 1: by Reddick and that's good j J. Reddick and shooting
Speaker 1: lights out and Mike Malone calls time out. Great five
Speaker 1: by Jimmy Butler and the Sixers have opened up a
Speaker 1: twelve point lead. JJ was fantastic throughout the night, especially
Speaker 1: in the first half. He had eighteen points in sixteen minutes,
Speaker 1: seven to ten from the field, a perfect four for
Speaker 1: four from outside the arc. But Denver into the second
Speaker 1: quarter on a twenty to four run, and that made
Speaker 1: the score tied at fifty six going into intermission. In
Speaker 1: the third, Ben Simmons was able to keep the Sixers
Speaker 1: in front. Simmons breaks it up. Yeah, jam, the Denver
Speaker 1: Nuggets can't stop the Simmons express. He acted as if
Speaker 1: he was gonna pass it. He cupped it, he drove it,
Speaker 1: and he hammered it. It was a seventy two sixty
Speaker 1: six Sixers lead, but the Nuggets charged back after that.
Speaker 1: The Sixers lead was just one going into the fourth
Speaker 1: at eighty three eighty two. Would remained tight up until
Speaker 1: the closing minutes square at one oh three one oh three.
Speaker 1: From before that, it was the Sixers trying to wedge
Speaker 1: a little bit of a gap between themselves to Nights.
Speaker 1: Then Simmons of the ball ranamick with the screen at
Speaker 1: the right side Harris, Harris lifts shoots on plumbly heck
Speaker 1: god to bias Hers with a triple and the Sixers
Speaker 1: lead by four one h one ninety seven. So a
Speaker 1: little bit after that, the Nuggets on a Mason Plummy
Speaker 1: dunk tied it up at one h three one oh three.
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris knocked down a jay that gave the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers a lead for good. Joel Embiad battled all night long.
Speaker 1: He came up with a huge block on the league

Speaker 1: and then on the other end, Joe was able to
Speaker 1: hit a shot in d seventy seconds to go. It

Speaker 1: Jimmy were with some free throws helped the Sixers ice
Speaker 1: it as they went on to win one seventeen ten.
Speaker 1: Gotta love the effort that Joel Embiad had tonight. He
Speaker 1: was questionable going into the game with a stomach bug,
Speaker 1: but he battled despite things not going his way. On
Speaker 1: the offensive end, he was four of seventeen from the field,
Speaker 1: but seven of eight from the foul line, and he
Speaker 1: grabbed twelve rebounds and had four blocks, including that monstrous
Speaker 1: one on Malik Beasley six er shot, and even fifty
Speaker 1: percent from the floor for the game Nuggets just under
Speaker 1: forty nine. Sixers had four more three pointers than Denver

Speaker 1: seventeen turnovers. They were able to survive that in the win.
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick with thirty four points, the second highest total
Speaker 1: of his career, eleven and fifteen from the field, six
Speaker 1: of seven outside the arc twenty two for Dremmy Butler
Speaker 1: behind the strength of fourteen for fourteen shooting from the
Speaker 1: free throw line. He also had seven rebounds and five
Speaker 1: assists to go with three steals. Tobias Harris fourteen point
Speaker 1: six to twelve two or three outside the arcade rebounds,
