Speaker 1: You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences,
Speaker 1: highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. Tough
Speaker 1: one for the seventy sixers tonight at Barclays Center in Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: where they lose to the Nets by twenty points one
Speaker 1: o nine to eighty nine. The Nets led by as
Speaker 1: much as twenty six in the game. No duel embad
Speaker 1: and it was an issue for the seventy six ers.
Speaker 1: You could tell early on that Brooklyn, which with the wind,
Speaker 1: improved to fourteen and twelve on the year, while the
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers dropped to twenty and eighth. You could
Speaker 1: tell Brooklyn was going right at the rim and attacking,
Speaker 1: led by Spencer Dinwiddie in his twenty four points, Brooklyn
Speaker 1: was able to power its way through the lane, score
Speaker 1: on layups opened up other parts of its offense, generally
Speaker 1: efficient enough to knock down shots when open looks presented
Speaker 1: themselves from outside the arc. And the other big thing
Speaker 1: is Tom mc ginnis was just talking about in the
Speaker 1: previous segment Brooklyn uncharacteristically when you talk about the way
Speaker 1: the seventy six ers usually play. But again, no duel
Speaker 1: embad tonight, Brooklyn was the team that controlled the glass.
Speaker 1: They were plus thirteen in rebounding overall and more specifically
Speaker 1: on the offensive glass plus five. The seventy sixers had
Speaker 1: some early turnover issues that led to twenty one points
Speaker 1: that Brooklyn scored off of the seventy six or sixteen turnovers,
Speaker 1: and also an area that you can't overlook what Brooklyn
Speaker 1: was able to do on the break. Twenty three to
Speaker 1: eight was the edge for Brooklyn in fast break points. Tonight,
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons led the seventy sixers with twenty points. He
Speaker 1: had five rebounds and three assists, first time this season
Speaker 1: that Simmons has reached the twenty point mark in back
Speaker 1: to back games. Tobias Harris knockdown seventeen. It was good
Speaker 1: to simply see Al Horford back on the court again
Speaker 1: for the seventy six ers after missing the last two games.
Speaker 1: He was five from fifteen from the field, but over
Speaker 1: six from three, so you know, you can't overlook that.
Speaker 1: But perhaps feeling a little bit rusted from the outside
Speaker 1: was Horford on twos. He was five of nine, so
Speaker 1: that's a little bit of a different story. He also
Speaker 1: had nine rebounds and five assists for seventy six Ers,
Speaker 1: eleven for Josh Richardson, eight four Mike Scott, who filled
Speaker 1: the vacating spot in the seventy six ers starting lineup
Speaker 1: left open by Joel Embiid. Tom McGinnis had the call
Speaker 1: this one tonight, seventy six Ers losing at Brooklyn one
Speaker 1: o nine to eighty nine toime. It seemed to really
Speaker 1: all start from Brooklyn's ability to consistently get inside and
Speaker 1: control that part of the game, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: And Din what he is hard to guard. You know, again,
Speaker 1: it seems like I say this every night, if not frequently,
Speaker 1: because it's a staple of NBA offense, and that is
Speaker 1: the middle pick and roll. And you know it doesn't
Speaker 1: take a technical basketball X and O genius, but that's
Speaker 1: what they do. And they come up with an angled
Speaker 1: screen from one of their bigs, either Jordan or Jared Allen,
Speaker 1: and they screen for dinwide and now he's got a
Speaker 1: big on him, and the big is trying to back
Speaker 1: up because there could be a guy rolling and so
Speaker 1: now then what he's got, you're backing up. He's very
Speaker 1: good at the floater from around the dotted circle, which
Speaker 1: is give or take a six or eight footer. So
Speaker 1: many players, including him, have almost perfected that shot. It's
Speaker 1: like a running layup. It's a staple of what with
Speaker 1: the downhill offense if you will. And then oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, if you don't guard him, he can get
Speaker 1: all the way to the basket. He was very adept
Speaker 1: at underhand scoops and that when you break down a
Speaker 1: team's defense, when you get into the guts of a
Speaker 1: defense and you get teams scrambling in terms of trying
Speaker 1: to help, it hurts you. So that on the ball
Speaker 1: defense is so key. And the Sixers did not have
Speaker 1: that first line of defense. And then, oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: they were missing the back end of that, which is
Speaker 1: Joel and Bead who has the ability to come out
Speaker 1: and show defensively and then get back. And again that
Speaker 1: we put out that stat where you know, the Sixers
Speaker 1: opponents shoot nearly forty four excuse me, four percent better
Speaker 1: when he's not on the court, So around forty seven
Speaker 1: percent for the opposition when it beat's not out there,
Speaker 1: and around forty three percent. Brian, I'm not a huge
Speaker 1: number numbers guy, but when you look at the differential
Speaker 1: and the whole plethora of stats for teams like tents
Speaker 1: or points, like rebounds. It's like forty three point two
Speaker 1: and another team four. There's not a huge gap, it's
Speaker 1: pretty close, you know, like I guess over the years
Speaker 1: and again people could break this down with the analytics
Speaker 1: and whatnot, but four percent difference is a huge difference.
Speaker 1: That's my point. Like, statistically, that's a huge variance. So
Speaker 1: in bad matters, and then they shoot the three and
Speaker 1: then they space you out so and again they didn't
Speaker 1: do that that their starters had like seven threes. But
Speaker 1: it all starts with being able to keep that guy
Speaker 1: in front of you, and that was an issue for
Speaker 1: the Sixers. And then what he does that to a
Speaker 1: lot of teams. He's certainly done it to the Sixers before,
Speaker 1: and he did it again to night seventy six Ers
Speaker 1: losing Brooklyn one o nine to eighty nine. And time
Speaker 1: during the game it was hard for me to almost
Speaker 1: not think of, especially when it got a little bit
Speaker 1: out of hand, like what could this matchup be like?
Speaker 1: And we talked about this beforehand. When you have both
Speaker 1: teams at full strength, you get Joel and beat back
Speaker 1: there for the seventy Sixers and then you throw in
Speaker 1: perhaps and this won't be likely until twenty twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: but Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant for the Brooklyn Nets.
Speaker 1: So this is interesting. You had a nightmare and you
Speaker 1: haven't gone to bed yet something like that. It's it's
Speaker 1: a scary thought, right that me too. I mean you're
Speaker 1: looking down there and you're like, so, let me get
Speaker 1: this straight. That's Kevin Durant visiting with Kyrie Irving and
Speaker 1: they're not playing. No, it's even when they get LeVert
Speaker 1: and Kyrie back, you know, so and we're talking about Dinwood.
Speaker 1: He breaking down your defense. Kyrie. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: the name of his game. I mean, he could wiggle
Speaker 1: through ten guys if you had ten out there. So
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And again they've done a really
Speaker 1: good job with style of play. Atkinson's a good coach
Speaker 1: and the and the way they employ their personnel. But
Speaker 1: again to your point, you know Joel would be back
Speaker 1: out there, and this is a tough game the Sixers,
Speaker 1: you know. I guess if you were to step back
Speaker 1: and take a general view, you know, we're sort of
Speaker 1: due for a hit up or whatever, and maybe you know, again,
Speaker 1: you can't take any team for granted. But like I said,
Speaker 1: it shaped up like Brooklyn played last night, day laws,
Speaker 1: long night, back to back. We're rested, but that's not
Speaker 1: as a player. You can't think like that. And like
Speaker 1: I said, it was evident and totally you watched it
Speaker 1: an observation how Brooklyn they were the aggressor, and they
Speaker 1: were better from the beginning, better all game long. They
Speaker 1: swung that ball of momentum in their way, they took
Speaker 1: it to the Sixers and it showed and they got
Speaker 1: the dub as a result. I'm next for the seventy
Speaker 1: sixers after a you'd have to think Tom welcomed back
Speaker 1: to back day stretch with out games for the first time.
Speaker 1: And at least I think two and a half weeks
Speaker 1: gonna be the Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler presumably Wednesday
Speaker 1: at the Center. That was a game of the seventies
Speaker 1: Sixers absolutely dominated the first time around. What do you
Speaker 1: remember being the key to the seventy sixers convincing effort
Speaker 1: in that first match between the two teams, Well, kind
Speaker 1: of what I just said about Brooklyn, how they you know,
Speaker 1: the Sixers in that game, that was a shocking result
Speaker 1: because that was one of those circle games on the calendar,
Speaker 1: just because you got Butler coming back and Miami been
Speaker 1: off to such a good start and the Sixers dominated
Speaker 1: that game. I can't you know, I have to go
Speaker 1: I have to go back and look at the tape there, Brian, No,
Speaker 1: for me, it would be the box score, but you
Speaker 1: know that that was it total dominance. And again I
Speaker 1: think Miami had played a game the night before. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so the Sixers they got to get back to that
Speaker 1: and obviously the heat not going away. And you know,
Speaker 1: like I said, you figured they would be good, but
Speaker 1: nobody had any idea that Kendrick Nunn would be a
Speaker 1: top player candidate in there for first team All Rookie
Speaker 1: and that Duncan Robinson is helping out the way that
Speaker 1: he can do it. And I love what Miami's done
Speaker 1: with Eric Spoelstra because you know, during the pat Riley
Speaker 1: years and even the residual carryover, they were, you know,
Speaker 1: grind and pound kind of, they were gut it out
Speaker 1: half court and obviously with the Big three that you know,
Speaker 1: they played however they wanted to play. But Spoilster has
Speaker 1: taken the personnel and now they're you know, a space
Speaker 1: and pace team and Butler they led Jimmy play pick
Speaker 1: and roll and whatnot. So they've adapted to their personnel
Speaker 1: and they're good. And the other guy who haven't mentioned
Speaker 1: is bam Ata Bio. You know, Josh Richardson sent out
Speaker 1: a tweet and they're best friends, you know, all star. Well,
Speaker 1: bam at a Bio has been very good. He suits
Speaker 1: that style because he's an agile big In years past
Speaker 1: they had white side, So that should be a great game.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the Sixers are playing three home
Speaker 1: games in a row. It's a shame. It sounds like
Speaker 1: Done won't play for Dallas on Friday. Then you get
Speaker 1: the Wizards in there. It's the Davis Burton Show. So
Speaker 1: you know, undefeated at home and hopefully the Sixers get
Speaker 1: back going and get back on the winning track with
Speaker 1: those home games coming up this week. Well put by
Speaker 1: the one on only Tom against Thank you Tom. All right,
Speaker 1: good night, Brian. Seventy six Ers drop a one on
Speaker 1: nine eighty nine decision at Brooklyn tonight. They're five game
Speaker 1: winning street coming to an end. But we'll give you
Speaker 1: some of the top players from the seventy Sixers side regardless,
Speaker 1: because that is what we do here at the Sixers
Speaker 1: Raiding Network. No Joel and b tonight he was dealing
Speaker 1: with an upper respiratory illness. Tobias Harris has been a
Speaker 1: fantastic ring option for the seventy six Ers as of late,
Speaker 1: and he put that on display very early in this one.
Speaker 1: Down two the Sixers racing across with Sivens the Horford downloaded.
Speaker 1: Tobias post turns into two defenders and scores in nice shot.
Speaker 1: Kenny Atkins had taken time out. He just saw something
Speaker 1: he didn't like. Nice play by the Sixers going in
Speaker 1: the deposed to Harris. He turns and scores, Harris scoring
Speaker 1: six to the seventy six Ers first eight points of
Speaker 1: the night. Howell Nato came in off the bench and
Speaker 1: he gave the six Ers some excellent minutes at the
Speaker 1: end of the first quarter, back out the netto one
Speaker 1: for did he go how Will on the baseline drives
Speaker 1: by DeAndre Jordan oh Man double dribble? Noo, he got
Speaker 1: away with it. Apparently Brooklyn touch at Neo now drives
Speaker 1: it out scores and how about that Brooklyn thought he
Speaker 1: double dribbled? They kind of Froze and Howell Netto gets
Speaker 1: a driving lamb at Netto at five in a row,
Speaker 1: He's cut the lead down to five. It was part
Speaker 1: of a stretch in which Nato hit a three pointer,
Speaker 1: took a charge, and then scored that basket. Really good
Speaker 1: stuff from the veteran point guard. Seventy Sixers trailed because
Speaker 1: of his contributions by just five after one quarter twenty
Speaker 1: eight twenty three in the second to seventy six Ers
Speaker 1: saw Brooklyn seized control of Ben Simmons was trying to
Speaker 1: step up his level of aggressiveness. Here's Batiste to Betty
Speaker 1: lay up right side, could two man game with Thible
Speaker 1: and Simmons. And that's the second time in the last
Speaker 1: five possessions these Sixers have implemented that. Well done by
Speaker 1: Batiste Simmons with a bucket. Then now in the game
Speaker 1: with nine, seventy Sixers trailed by eight, forty nine to
Speaker 1: forty one. At that juncture, they would be down at
Speaker 1: the break fifty seven to forty three. In the third quarter.
Speaker 1: It was nice to see Al Horford doing what he
Speaker 1: could after the fact the big man missed the last
Speaker 1: two games. Thible Office screen Thible back to Orford left
Speaker 1: side baseline jumper. Got it boy. Thivell has been very
Speaker 1: effective in the two man game. Picks up his second assist,
Speaker 1: but he was really passing to Simmons with the regularity
Speaker 1: in that first half. Orford with the field goal. He's
Speaker 1: got ten at an eight point game, fifty eight to fifty.
Speaker 1: But Brooklyn would really continue to open things up through
Speaker 1: its attack on the interior against the seventy six Josh
Speaker 1: Richardson this was a nice bucket for him. Sixers needed
Speaker 1: to fight back and this was one of their last
Speaker 1: chances to try and keep it close. Paris with a
Speaker 1: pull up fifteen footer good good screen by Norvelle. The
Speaker 1: bias comes off clean. That's called the screen of says,
Speaker 1: and Josh steals the outlet. Richards It puts it up mistick,
Speaker 1: but then puts it up in it so back to back.
Speaker 1: Bill goals. Harris with a pull up jumper. Josh Richardson
Speaker 1: steals the inbound pass misstep, but scorted seventy six Ers
Speaker 1: have her would need more of those types of plays
Speaker 1: and sequences than what they ultimately got. In the end,
Speaker 1: they followed the Brooklyn nets one o nine to eighty nine.
Speaker 1: Brooklyn shot forty five and a half percent seventy six
Speaker 1: or forty three percent six ers, just five of twenty
Speaker 1: six from outside the arc. Brooklyn was nine for twenty
Speaker 1: four sixers out rebanded by thirteen. They were minus five
Speaker 1: on the offensive glass. Brooklyn with a twenty three to
Speaker 1: eight advantage on fast break opportunities. Ben Simmons with twenty points,
Speaker 1: seven of ten from the field to lead the seventy sixers.
Speaker 1: He was six of eight from the free throw line,
Speaker 1: also five rebounds and three assists seventeen four Tobias Harris
Speaker 1: he had six rebounds and three times and two blocks
Speaker 1: shots Al Horford in his first game back after missing
Speaker 1: the last two ten points, nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks.
Speaker 1: Spencer Dinwoodie led all scores with twenty four, Joe Harris
Speaker 1: with sixteen, and DeAndre Jordan came off the bench for
Speaker 1: thirteen points and eleven boards for Brooklyn seventy six ers.
Speaker 1: Now twenty and eight on the year, Brooklyn improves to
Speaker 1: fourteen and twelve. Seventy six ers. Next game will be
Speaker 1: Wednesday night, back at the Center to host Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: and the Miami Heat for the second time in a
Speaker 1: month you've been listening to Rewind. Look out for fresh
Speaker 1: episodes the day after every seventy six ers game this season.
