Speaker 1: This is a playoff edition of seventy Sixers Rewind presented
Speaker 1: by Geico. Time Now to listen back to reaction from
Speaker 1: the team's most recent postseason. A tough start to the
Speaker 1: two nineteen postseason run for the seventy Sixers bound to
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets one eleven, one h two down here
Speaker 1: at the center, I'm Brian Seltz from Sixers dot Com.
Speaker 1: We do expect to hear from Brett Brown at the podium,
Speaker 1: some players as well, But this one for the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers certainly did not go as planned, and the build
Speaker 1: up to the game certainly there was a heightened sense
Speaker 1: of excitement when news came down that Joel Embiad would
Speaker 1: be back. He would be playing. In the early going
Speaker 1: of this game, he was a just physical presence, if
Speaker 1: not anything else that Brooklyn and especially it's big man
Speaker 1: Jared Allen could not contain a string of free throws
Speaker 1: for Joel Embiad as he went to the free throw line,
Speaker 1: helping the seventy Sixers get out to an early lead
Speaker 1: midway through the first quarter. But around that time Brooklyn
Speaker 1: went to its bench and here would start a theme
Speaker 1: for the rest of the day. The reserves for the
Speaker 1: Nets coming up huge in this one this afternoon and
Speaker 1: the Nets to the one eleven one h two victory.
Speaker 1: Ed Davis came in, gave Brooklyn a little bit more
Speaker 1: something in the front court, and during that time it
Speaker 1: would be a twenty to one Brooklyn run to end
Speaker 1: the first quarter, putting Brooklyn up thirty one twenty two
Speaker 1: going into the second. That completely turned this game around,
Speaker 1: and the seventy sixers trying to find some of that
Speaker 1: chemistry that eluded them down the stretch of the regular
Speaker 1: season because of player availability and health. They were battling
Speaker 1: up him and they just could not find it today.
Speaker 1: Thirty six points for Jimmy Butler. I thought he was great.
Speaker 1: He gave the seventy sixers everything they were looking for
Speaker 1: in terms of an aggressive approach, determined mindset, some greediness,
Speaker 1: but that just quite simply didn't transfer to the rest
Speaker 1: of the roster. Joel Embiid probably did what he could.
Speaker 1: He has not played much obviously over the last two
Speaker 1: to three weeks. He finished with twenty two points, fifteen rebounds,
Speaker 1: five blocks, and four assists, but five or fifteen from
Speaker 1: the field over five from three very telling. He was
Speaker 1: twelve or eighteen from the free throw line. Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: nine points on nine shots, and from the foul line
Speaker 1: he was one of five tough breaks for Ben Simmons.
Speaker 1: Boban Marnyanovitch thought he was awesome in relief of Joel
Speaker 1: Embiid thirteen points, three rebounds, four assists, five or seven
Speaker 1: from the field ultra efficient to bias Harris and JJ Reddick.
Speaker 1: Not enough from them in this game, unfortunately. Harris two
Speaker 1: of seven from the field, O two from three point territory.
Speaker 1: He did do some other things. He was plus through
Speaker 1: in the game seven points, six assists, but four points.
Speaker 1: I beg your pardon. Seven rebounds, six assists, four points.
Speaker 1: But the seventy sixers in this game, with Brooklyn putting
Speaker 1: the pressure on with its balanced attack of drives to
Speaker 1: the laying pick and roll offense, three points shooting Sixers
Speaker 1: needed more. They were not able to get it. Fifty
Speaker 1: nine points for the Brooklyn Nets bench just a major
Speaker 1: major statistical subplot in this one. Twenty three for Carouselvert
Speaker 1: a major matchup problem for the seventy sixers. He was
Speaker 1: able to do a little bit inside and certainly he
Speaker 1: did from the outside three of three from the perimeter
Speaker 1: for Carousel Vertz, Spencer Dinwitty with eighteen points. He finished
Speaker 1: with two threes. Daniel Russell a team high with twenty six.
Speaker 1: He got off to a pretty sluggish start, especially in
Speaker 1: the first quarter, but in the third quarter we saw
Speaker 1: him get a steady dose of mid range jumpers to
Speaker 1: fall that seemed to unlock him and he was big
Speaker 1: in the second half, finishing with twenty six ten of
Speaker 1: twenty five from the field. He had four assists as well,
Speaker 1: thirteen for Joe Harris, steady from the perimeter, three of four,
Speaker 1: Demari Cowl with eleven points and six rebounds. Jared Allen
Speaker 1: essentially a non factor. It was Ed Davis in the
Speaker 1: front court who was a huge reason why the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Nets won this game. He was plus twenty eight in
Speaker 1: the game, twelve point sixteen rebounds, a key cog for
Speaker 1: Kenny Atkinson and the Brooklyn Nets. We're standing by hoping
Speaker 1: to hear from Brett Brown from the playoff postgame podium.
Speaker 1: Tom McGinnis will share some more thoughts as well. But
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets take Game one of this best of
Speaker 1: seven Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series by the score of one
Speaker 1: eleven to one O two, now three and two on
Speaker 1: the season against the seventy sixers. Our postgame coverage will
Speaker 1: continue after this. As we watched the suburban garden Nome carefully,
Speaker 1: carefully without disturbing it, he noticed that it moves like
Speaker 1: not at all. It's inanimate and utterly without brain function.
Speaker 1: But despite that, when a garden know me hears about
Speaker 1: how Geico not only saves people money but also gives
Speaker 1: them access to licensed agents twenty four seven online and
Speaker 1: over the phone, it's clear to them you should switch,
Speaker 1: because yes, switching to Geico is a no brainer. But
Speaker 1: on second thoughts, maybe don't watch garden Nomes two carefully.
Speaker 1: People might talk. Seventy Sixers dropped the opening game of
Speaker 1: the two nineteen playoffs one eleven, one h two to
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets, who take the early lead in this
Speaker 1: best of seven game Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series. I'm Brian Seltzer,
Speaker 1: rejoined now by Tom McGinnis. Tom. Certainly, there was understandable
Speaker 1: build up to this game. It got even more heightened
Speaker 1: with Joel Embiid being declared good to go in this game.
Speaker 1: Early on, he was just creating a individual parade to
Speaker 1: the free throw line of Because of that, the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers jumped out to a lead. But Brooklyn, their bench
Speaker 1: had great spirit. They hit the key in the ignition
Speaker 1: and then as this one went along, we saw Damiel
Speaker 1: Russell come up big. But I thought their reserves were
Speaker 1: just fantastic, no doubt about it, and they were able
Speaker 1: that This is what I thought was a little concerning
Speaker 1: for the Sixers early on. Specifically, I believe it was
Speaker 1: like twenty one to nineteen, the Sixers were in the lead,
Speaker 1: the Sixers at one point at a five point lead,
Speaker 1: based on what you were saying with the foul shooting him,
Speaker 1: not just Joell Ebid but Jimmy Butler and Brooklyn. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: I was like old for their first five from the field.
Speaker 1: But Joe Harris had three quick threes, I mean, limited opportunities,
Speaker 1: tight window, bang, bang bang. He made three threes, and
Speaker 1: again at forty seven percent, he was the top three
Speaker 1: point shooter in the league this year, so no surprise
Speaker 1: that he was successful. But he kept them in the
Speaker 1: game and they were tight. And Jared Dudley, you know,
Speaker 1: he just kind of shared with his postgame that yeah,
Speaker 1: they were but they kind of shook off the the
Speaker 1: inexperience in the playoffs and kind of got right in
Speaker 1: a little bit and then they come on and like
Speaker 1: you said, Ed Davis was a big factor. Their bench
Speaker 1: was a big factor. You look at their plus minus
Speaker 1: in the game, and again for the uninitiated, that's the
Speaker 1: scoring of your team when you're on the court. So
Speaker 1: in other words, Brooklyn's bent their reserve. They did better
Speaker 1: Dudley din with the LeVert Davis. They were all big
Speaker 1: plus twenty eight for Davis. In other words, the Nets
Speaker 1: outscored the Sixers when Ed Davis was in there to
Speaker 1: the tune of twenty eight points. Their top score Russell
Speaker 1: twenty six points, but he was minus ten. So, Brian,
Speaker 1: circling back to what you were saying, their reserves were
Speaker 1: key in this game, outscoring the Sixers whereas the Sixers
Speaker 1: Jonathan Simmons played, he was minus sixteen. Simmons, Reddick minus
Speaker 1: twenty one. And you know, you talk about spirit now again,
Speaker 1: they were dominating the game. Here, here's apparently coach Brown's
Speaker 1: getting really good. He wasn't missing or do you have
Speaker 1: to kind of help I mean, I'm always putting it
Speaker 1: on me to help him, you know, try how do
Speaker 1: you help your players, And uh, I'll stick with that.
Speaker 1: You know, I get a fine ways to help him,
Speaker 1: and he cares at times too much, you know. And
Speaker 1: I think that that you learn quickly in the NBA
Speaker 1: playoffs that the first kind of open look you got
Speaker 1: is probably going to be your best look. The game
Speaker 1: will tell you to shoot. And at times I feel
Speaker 1: like he's trying to maybe press a little too much
Speaker 1: or you know, go someplace else when you know he
Speaker 1: can shoot more than seven times. And is that what
Speaker 1: it ended up? Yeah, So you know, I I will
Speaker 1: own that I got to find ways to help to
Speaker 1: bias defensively on stuff. It's just stuff that you know
Speaker 1: playoff teams do. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary.
Speaker 1: They just did it quite well. You know. There's a
Speaker 1: physical side that they played with. You know, lots of
Speaker 1: teams sort of play on the high side of JJ
Speaker 1: and try to like staple him to a baseline. I
Speaker 1: thought that they did that well, and uh, he got
Speaker 1: in some into some foul trouble and I don't think
Speaker 1: that helps sort of cultivate a rhythm. But but I
Speaker 1: give them credit that they were physical on JJ and
Speaker 1: and kind of went into him playing just before the game.
Speaker 1: But you know, we went into the decision. How do
Speaker 1: you think I mean, I'm I'm always just a recipient
Speaker 1: of news as as opposed to like any kind of
Speaker 1: level of a decision maker when it gets to the
Speaker 1: health like um they head coach. I listened more than
Speaker 1: I advise as I as I should, and I was
Speaker 1: advised that he could come in and play very late.
Speaker 1: Joel really wanted to play. He really really wanted to play.
Speaker 1: I think the thing that I was most concerned about
Speaker 1: is what what what's going to be like the outcome?
Speaker 1: We we don't want to look in the rearview mirror
Speaker 1: and have regrets. It's game one. Somebody's going to find
Speaker 1: a way to win four games, and it happens, as
Speaker 1: we all know, in many way, shapes and forms. I
Speaker 1: thought that Joel Um looked like he hadn't played for
Speaker 1: a while yet was still you know, dominant. Look at
Speaker 1: look at his numbers and look at the free throw
Speaker 1: attempts UM, But it was clear that you know, the
Speaker 1: pace of the game, the the the the speed of
Speaker 1: the game types of stuff, you could you could see
Speaker 1: that he was tired. And those are my initial thoughts
Speaker 1: without seeing the tape. Pretty good for you. And often
Speaker 1: in that game the guy could lift a team around
Speaker 1: it and inspire them to join him and do it.
Speaker 1: That first of your thoughts about Butler's games and your
Speaker 1: thoughts about why that might not happen with the team
Speaker 1: following a lot. Yeah, first, I'm so with you, Bob
Speaker 1: on Jimmy, like that was the adult in the room,
Speaker 1: that that was a man. And I think that that
Speaker 1: especially like we've seen it from time we see it
Speaker 1: here in filling the regular season and fourth period stand
Speaker 1: out a lot, but you saw it kind of consistently
Speaker 1: spread throughout the game, the physicality of the game, the
Speaker 1: elite athleticism, the toughness. It is true. He was the
Speaker 1: adult in the room and he was trying to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, pull others along. And you know, just when
Speaker 1: you look at the starting five as an example, Ben
Speaker 1: had a down game, JJ had a down game. To
Speaker 1: Bias at a down game. You know, if you go
Speaker 1: straight to the three point shooting, we were three for
Speaker 1: twenty think about this now, we were three for twenty five.
Speaker 1: And then if you take a little bit of a
Speaker 1: pivot on a statue, you're going to see that we
Speaker 1: will only sixty nine percent from the free throw line,
Speaker 1: and so you know, we missed a bunch of shots.
Speaker 1: We had three starters down a bench was I was
Speaker 1: scored heavily by their bench. I think it was fifty
Speaker 1: nine to twenty six. I thought Boban did some good things,
Speaker 1: but trying to find participants outside of Joel, who we
Speaker 1: really wasn't she was going to play. It didn't happen
Speaker 1: tonight for whatever reason. And I I give Brooklyn credit
Speaker 1: more than I do anything. But I feel like the
Speaker 1: room that we have to get better and find a
Speaker 1: way to change some things to win. I see it.
Speaker 1: It's not like it's a mystery to us. That's really
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers head coach Brett Brown following today's one eleven,
Speaker 1: one or two lost to Brooklyn. That's in the opener
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. So Tom, we heard a little
Speaker 1: bit about that. Jimmy Butler was fantastic today, a playoff
Speaker 1: career high of thirty six points on eleven of twenty
Speaker 1: two shooting, and he had a spirit. As Brett was
Speaker 1: talking about that, you just were hoping that it would
Speaker 1: have rubbed off on the rest of the team. And
Speaker 1: whether it was because the group hasn't played a lot
Speaker 1: of the last two weeks together or for whatever other reasons,
Speaker 1: just didn't happen, no doubt about it. And at one
Speaker 1: point in the second but had seven points in a row,
Speaker 1: sixteen out of twenty. He really pulled, especially at the
Speaker 1: end of that first half when he hit a big
Speaker 1: three to give the Sixers some life into the dressing room.
Speaker 1: And then he came out and played well in the
Speaker 1: third quarter. And in fact, okay, you're thinking, all right now,
Speaker 1: now it's a game where the Sixers they cut it
Speaker 1: down to two, they were right there on the precipice
Speaker 1: of tying it and potentially taking a and Brooklyn countered
Speaker 1: with a six oh run. And then from that point on,
Speaker 1: you know, the Nets were leading by mostly eight, nine
Speaker 1: ten points per game, and they had to confidence, the swagger,
Speaker 1: and they had the spirit. The Sixers talk so much
Speaker 1: about the spirit if you watched their bench. Now, don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, they were pulling off an upset in
Speaker 1: the enemy territory. Of course they're gonna be fired up.
Speaker 1: But there were time there was that one time out
Speaker 1: where the Sixers took a break and the Sixers players
Speaker 1: had a walk through the nets who were out there dancing, celebrating,
Speaker 1: congratulating one another on the Sixers court. Like I said,
Speaker 1: tomorrow is going to be a day of reflection for
Speaker 1: the six Ers. There probably won't be a little on
Speaker 1: court work that o'd be a little clip they show
Speaker 1: the Sixers right there, look at this their party and
Speaker 1: on your court, and the fans are disgruntled and dis
Speaker 1: happy the Sixers. They have to show more fight and
Speaker 1: way way better spirit, form and play in game two
Speaker 1: because again there's a long way to go. As coach
Speaker 1: Brown says, you got to win four games, but you
Speaker 1: cannot go down O two going to a building where
Speaker 1: over recent years you've struggled a little bit, the Barclays
Speaker 1: Center in the games three and four in this series.
Speaker 1: And the other thing I'll say is their scheme, how
Speaker 1: they play is not going away. Like the way they
Speaker 1: spread the court. It wasn't necessarily the three point shooting
Speaker 1: by them. Now they made eleven. That was telling, and
Speaker 1: that's thirty three of their hundred and eleven points. I
Speaker 1: get that, But it was the driving lanes in the
Speaker 1: space they created and they four and again limiting JJ
Speaker 1: to five points. Big thing in the game, but running
Speaker 1: at him. They got him out of the game by
Speaker 1: forcing him to file fighting over screens. He got two
Speaker 1: of his six files fighting through traffic to try and
Speaker 1: questionable calls, but he got calls at the defensive end
Speaker 1: where he was trying to, you know, stay connected. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean there is a lot, a lot for the
Speaker 1: Sixers to clean up after this. One seventy six ers
Speaker 1: bad of the Brooklyn Nets one eleven one h two,
Speaker 1: Game one of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. First thing, Tom,
Speaker 1: I mean when you look ahead to the game two,
Speaker 1: I mean, how much do you think this is maybe
Speaker 1: at least in terms of certain things like I guess
Speaker 1: the first thing, I'll look at three point shooting. How
Speaker 1: much of that was influenced by the defensive Brooklyn? Do
Speaker 1: you think half much of it was perhaps the Sixers
Speaker 1: just not hitting some shots. No, some of the looks
Speaker 1: of six Ers Scot they think of Jonathan Simmons and
Speaker 1: Mike Scott, some of those were wide open looks. So
Speaker 1: that's not the defense. Those shots just weren't going down.
Speaker 1: And look, I think it was pat Riley years ago,
Speaker 1: but says, you know, like a playoff series doesn't start
Speaker 1: until you know, somebody wins on the road or something
Speaker 1: along on those lights. Well, they just won on the road.
Speaker 1: Wake up call, you know what I mean? So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the Sixers look Ben sim and you could
Speaker 1: just watch him during warmups. He was so rebbed up.
Speaker 1: And that's all well and good. He's he swants this
Speaker 1: so badly. He's such a great athlete and such a
Speaker 1: key player for the Sixers. But when it doesn't translate
Speaker 1: into open shots, makeable shots down low, that takes a
Speaker 1: lot of steam out of your tank, sort to speak.
Speaker 1: And they did. They took Simmons out of the game.
Speaker 1: They walled them off. He wasn't getting close at the basket.
Speaker 1: And as Coach Brown said, you know, Joel did not
Speaker 1: have Numerically he had a good game, but even his
Speaker 1: shots weren't clean looks. And certainly when Davis and all
Speaker 1: we are there, he's trying to play through the likes
Speaker 1: of Jared Dudley and forcing the end and they weren't
Speaker 1: clean looks. And so I mean at some point and Joe,
Speaker 1: you know, he took I think five threason missed them all,
Speaker 1: but he had a lot of shots at the elbow.
Speaker 1: Maybe just sit there and accept the fifteen foot shot
Speaker 1: from around the following but and then Tobias Harris a
Speaker 1: non factor in the game. And you know, and again
Speaker 1: the Sixers with Butler fantastic and Tobias you were hoping
Speaker 1: for that, you know, the ability at times one on
Speaker 1: one to be able to score. But I mean Brooklyn
Speaker 1: took it to the Sixers in this game. And this
Speaker 1: is not I mean, you knew this was going to
Speaker 1: be a series, and like I said, a very concerning
Speaker 1: matchup for the Sixers, and it all revealed itself here
Speaker 1: in this afternoon of this evening's game. Alrighty Tom talks
Speaker 1: to you next on Monday night, seventy six will try
Speaker 1: to bounce back and level the series before heading to Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: Seventy Sixers lose to Brooklyn first game of the Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference quarter Finals by the score of one eleven two.
Speaker 1: Let us get to some highlights from today's game. About
Speaker 1: five minutes before tip time, Joel embiid it was announced
Speaker 1: would be in the starting lineup. He got to the
Speaker 1: three throw line and did some other things as well.
Speaker 1: Here's Joe Slow got it in beat, getting the crowd
Speaker 1: fired up. So Russell made two free throws and Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons again rifles it download of Joel in Bead scores
Speaker 1: it in a foul and that put the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: up nine to five. Thanks to in Beads back up
Speaker 1: boban Marnianovitch. The Sixers would lead twenty two nineteen midway
Speaker 1: through the first quarter, but then things changed in a hurry.
Speaker 1: The Brooklyn Nets would go on a twenty to one
Speaker 1: run that bridged the end of the first quarter and
Speaker 1: the start of the second. Sixer or down thirty one
Speaker 1: twenty two after one, and cast Lavert added to Brooklyn's
Speaker 1: league early in the second. Here's Lavert open tray and
Speaker 1: down it goes time out Sixers. Caris Lavert gets the three,
Speaker 1: and now the booze a little more broth cypherus here
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, not two minutes into the second quarter, as
Speaker 1: the Nets have taken a fourteen point league thirty seven
Speaker 1: twenty three. But the Sixers got some amentum backpacks, some
Speaker 1: guys off the bench. Baranovitch against Jared Dudley turning passes.
Speaker 1: The TJ McConnell puts it in that Boulbon pass was
Speaker 1: really a dumb down. He's so big. He just threw
Speaker 1: it down to McConnell, who faded baseline left by the
Speaker 1: Nets fence from ten behind Russell and Dinwitdie. The Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Nets would expand the lead back to fifteen, but Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler gave the Sixers a shot in the arm going
Speaker 1: into halftime. Butler with it. Jimmy Butler with five seconds,
Speaker 1: the crowd rising is one. Jimmy Butler steps back, shoots
Speaker 1: to three ball at the horn and it's good. Had
Speaker 1: the Sixers get ball met him into the halftime locker
Speaker 1: room at eighteen point second quarter for Butler, he was
Speaker 1: great in the second frame, Sixers down sixty two fifty
Speaker 1: four at the break. In the third, Sixers got off
Speaker 1: to a strong start and Joel Embiad was right in
Speaker 1: the middle of it and beat against Allen sidesteps up
Speaker 1: through two defenders, puts it up at it and be
Speaker 1: with a reparkable drod and the crowd standing ovation four feet.
Speaker 1: So at that point it was sixty five sixty three Nets,
Speaker 1: the Sixers so close to being right back in it.
Speaker 1: But then D'Angelo Russell strung together a scoring string that
Speaker 1: put them margin back to eight and he would be
Speaker 1: a menace for the seventy sixers in the second half,
Speaker 1: Russell seventeen footer and got it unstoppable right now, D'Angelo
Speaker 1: Russell twenty one points that made it eighty two seventy
Speaker 1: four middle of the third, Sixers down eleven ninety three
Speaker 1: eighty two going into the fourth and D'Angel Russell down
Speaker 1: the stretch of crunch time would put it away. Here's
Speaker 1: Russell stop being seventeen footer up. Good ball game. De'angelo
Speaker 1: Russell now with twenty six at Brooklyn leads by thirteen
Speaker 1: with two minutes to go, and Brooklyn would gone to
Speaker 1: win It's by nine one eleven, one h two to
Speaker 1: take a one game to none lead in the Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference quarterfinals. Some final stats in the final stat sheet,
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers held to forty and a half percent shooting
Speaker 1: Brooklyn forty three percent. But here's one huge disparity. The
Speaker 1: nets eleven of twenty six for forty two and a
Speaker 1: half percent from outside the arc seventy six ers and
Speaker 1: uncharacteristic three of twenty five and nets twenty four of
Speaker 1: twenty six from the stripe. Seventy six Ers missed thirt
Speaker 1: of their forty two free throws. Six Ers finished plus
Speaker 1: five on the glass plus six on the offensive boards,
Speaker 1: but Brooklyn out rebound of the seventy six is by
Speaker 1: five in the second half, one of the reasons why
Speaker 1: they were able to create some distance and ultimately put
Speaker 1: this game away fourteen to nine advantage for the Nets
Speaker 1: scoring points off turnovers. Jimmy Butler finished with a playoff
Speaker 1: career high in game high thirty six points. He was
Speaker 1: eleven of twenty two, thirteen to fifteen from the line,
Speaker 1: also had nine rebounds and two blocks shots. He was
Speaker 1: plus eleven for the Sixers. Joel and Bead with twenty
Speaker 1: two points, fifteen rebounds, four assists in five blocks. He
Speaker 1: was minus seventeen and twenty four minutes. Ben Simmons with nine,
Speaker 1: Jj Reddick with five two of seven from the field,
Speaker 1: one of four from three, Tobias Harris with four points,
Speaker 1: seven rebounds and six assists. Boban Magnanovitch awesome off the
Speaker 1: bench with thirteen points and three rebounds in four dimes
Speaker 1: plus three in fifteen minutes for the Nets. Stanzel Russell
Speaker 1: led the way with twenty six a big second half
Speaker 1: for him twenty three for Carselvern. He was a huge
Speaker 1: X factor from a bench that put out a lot
Speaker 1: of good talent in tonight's game from Brooklyn twelve and
Speaker 1: sixteen for Ed Davis. He had much more success against
Speaker 1: Joellen beating the Sixers front court than Jared Allen, who
Speaker 1: played under ten minutes in the game. Spencer Dinuity with eighteen,
Speaker 1: Joe Harris the thirteen including three three pointers, Damari Carroll
Speaker 1: with eleven, and all importance. Quickly it becomes an all
Speaker 1: important game too. This best of seven series is going
Speaker 1: to be right here at the center on Monday Night.
Speaker 1: They always told Will he was too short to play basketball,
Speaker 1: but Will never listened. We'll let his work ethic do
Speaker 1: the talking for him. Always in the gym, always running drills.
Speaker 1: Will knew where there was a will, there was a way,
Speaker 1: and he was Will. But then after his second child
Speaker 1: was born, he realized the pros were all way better
Speaker 1: than him. So Will gave up and buried his high
Speaker 1: tops in a tearful ceremony. But one day he heard
Speaker 1: that Geico could save him money on car insurance, so
Speaker 1: he switched and saved a bunch, which was awesome. You've
Speaker 1: been listening to a playoff edition of seventy six ers Rewind,
Speaker 1: presented by Geiko. Be sure not to miss new episodes
