Speaker 1: Not ideal circumstances for the seventy sixers and a key
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference rematch with the Milwaukee Bucks shorthanded without Joe
Speaker 1: ellenbad tonight. They followed by the final score of one
Speaker 1: oh seven ninety five. Brian Seltzer with you on the
Speaker 1: postgame show. Jannis Anakoopo was fantastic and a difference maker
Speaker 1: for the Bucks. We'll get into that in a moment,
Speaker 1: but first let's join Brett Brown in progress. Get the
Speaker 1: eight minute mark that Justin had that layup would have
Speaker 1: cut it to five. Delhi comes down and it hits
Speaker 1: the three. We have a turnover and you blink. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a ten point game. And I felt like at
Speaker 1: that point, on Justin's great drive, a fantastic strong drive,
Speaker 1: we just didn't finish. They followed up with the threes,
Speaker 1: five point swing balloons out to ten, and at that point,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like we were just sort of playing
Speaker 1: catch up a lot. It just seems I guess it
Speaker 1: was just the threes. I mean, I agree, I agree,
Speaker 1: you know that, like you're looking at it, and I
Speaker 1: thought that our defense was okay, and like we shot
Speaker 1: the ball well. From the final line, you know we actually,
Speaker 1: I'm told, shot sixty two percent from like long twos,
Speaker 1: which you know, thrilled about taken, but we made them.
Speaker 1: And we just try to find, you know, somebody to
Speaker 1: make a three, and we just couldn't find it. And
Speaker 1: you really, without Joel, we knew that if we were
Speaker 1: gonna win, we needed a three point successful night. You
Speaker 1: needed to find points from somewhere, and we had hoped
Speaker 1: that the three point line would generate that without our
Speaker 1: best scora, and uh we we we just weren't able
Speaker 1: to get that done. Why do you think those weren't
Speaker 1: following the three? I don't know. I thought, you know,
Speaker 1: some of it. I give Milwaukee credit them getting out
Speaker 1: to shooters. I think some of it was just you know,
Speaker 1: missing some open looks. Those those nights happen. Uh you
Speaker 1: feel the pain of those nights, uh, in a much
Speaker 1: greater way when you don't have your best scora. You
Speaker 1: need to find ways to generate points, and we just couldn't.
Speaker 1: I credit to Milwaukee's bench coming in and you know,
Speaker 1: continuing to play well. They they kept the pressure on us.
Speaker 1: But to Keith's point, I think, you know, when you
Speaker 1: look at different things, you're going to go to two
Speaker 1: areas John has played and Joel didn't, which was the
Speaker 1: opposite in Philadelphia, and you'll go straight to the three
Speaker 1: point demise. We just couldn't make a shot. Seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: follow in Milwaukee Bucks one oh seven or ninety five.
Speaker 1: That was Brett Brown post game. Sixers now are two
Speaker 1: games back of the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference standings.
Speaker 1: They entered tonight with the Sixers and eighth the Bucks
Speaker 1: in sixth and three games between the seventy Sixers and
Speaker 1: the Detroit Pistons, which picked up Blake Griffin earlier. Tonight's
Speaker 1: for the eight and nine spots, so the Sixers in
Speaker 1: a tough spot, no dwell and beat. As Brett Brown said,
Speaker 1: Dario Starts led the way with nineteen points and nine rebounds,
Speaker 1: but he liked several of his teammates had a tough
Speaker 1: night from outside the arc. The seventy Sixers typically very
Speaker 1: dependable from deep, They were two for twenty six in
Speaker 1: tonight's game, and the Bucks they were eleven of twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Antakompo is mentioned he was tremendous with thirty one points,
Speaker 1: eighteen rebounds, and six assists, and while he does not
Speaker 1: shoot for great percentage from three point territory, and he
Speaker 1: didn't again tonight. He arguably had one of the biggest
Speaker 1: in the game. The Sixers were trying to perhaps make
Speaker 1: a last ditch effort, got back to within ten at
Speaker 1: ninety five eighty five midway through the fourth, then Auntakumpo
Speaker 1: with just under five minutes to go, knock down to
Speaker 1: three and that pretty much sealed the deal in favor
Speaker 1: of the Bucks. One oh seven ninety five the final
Speaker 1: Tom McGuinness oh eights. We'll get to him from BMO
Speaker 1: Harris Badly Center next as the postgame showing the Sixers
Speaker 1: Raider Network Sixers and the Milwaukee Bucks for the second
Speaker 1: time in ten days. Two big differential between round one
Speaker 1: and round two. The Sixers had their all star back
Speaker 1: at the Center in a one sixteen ninety four victory
Speaker 1: on January twentieth. The Milwaukee Bucks did not have theirs,
Speaker 1: but tonight it was the inverse as Jannis at A
Speaker 1: Kompo paced the Bucks with thirty one, eighteen and six
Speaker 1: and Embiid was resting on the second night of a
Speaker 1: back to back Brian Seltzer with you from sixer dot Com.
Speaker 1: We'll go to Tom McGinnis now, and Tom, it just
Speaker 1: seemed like it every big turn that the Bucks needed,
Speaker 1: there was Anna Kompo. You look at the end of
Speaker 1: the first quarter after the Sixers one up ten, he
Speaker 1: went on that flurry going to the second, and then
Speaker 1: of course in the third and down the stretch in
Speaker 1: the fourth. He was right in there with his fingerprints
Speaker 1: all over it. Absolutely and he can control the game
Speaker 1: with his ability to rebound and to carry the ball
Speaker 1: on offense. I thought they got late in the clocks
Speaker 1: quite a bit in their half court set, and yet
Speaker 1: he scored a bit. He just dominates the game. And
Speaker 1: you know, he was just really good from start to finish.
Speaker 1: He scored their first four points. You can think you
Speaker 1: have them bottled up defensively, and with his length and
Speaker 1: the ability to take that stride, he gets to a
Speaker 1: rack and he's right by the rim. And the Sixers
Speaker 1: I don't know that they had no answer for him.
Speaker 1: But he was the better player out there tonight, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. Jannah said that a couple of Milwaukee Sixers
Speaker 1: one oh seven ninety five lost the Bucks two of
Speaker 1: twenty six from outside the arc. How did you see
Speaker 1: that aspect? Of tonight's game time. Well, you know, and
Speaker 1: coach Brown is not one to say it, and maybe
Speaker 1: it's not true, but I firmly believe the Sixers were tired.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a long shot, and when you don't
Speaker 1: have your legs, it's a difficult shot to hit with consistency,
Speaker 1: and it was clear the Sixers didn't have that. And again,
Speaker 1: I think when a coach says it, it sounds like
Speaker 1: a bit of an excuse, but just being an observer
Speaker 1: and watching it that some of those shots didn't have
Speaker 1: a chance to go in. So that's part of it,
Speaker 1: I think. And then you rely on that three point shot.
Speaker 1: You know, Brett Brown was just saying that was part
Speaker 1: of the stratagem, if you will, was to get that
Speaker 1: three point shot going. And one could argue, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you weren't hitting any of those. You shot seven percent
Speaker 1: from three and you shot twenty six of them, but
Speaker 1: that's the Sixers style, and you know, when you're when
Speaker 1: you're going for those long balls and they're not going
Speaker 1: that's a tough scenario. So it was just very difficult.
Speaker 1: T J McConnell had a rough night. They guarded him
Speaker 1: really well, Yet five turnovers. I believe he was one
Speaker 1: of five from the floor, and Dario and Cove and
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, I think we're trying to carry the Sixers,
Speaker 1: and both Dario and Cove struggled from the field. For
Speaker 1: Shawn Holmes gave the Sixers a knife spark off the bench,
Speaker 1: playing with energy, dunking that basketball aggression. Aggression. We didn't
Speaker 1: see the same type of game from Chris Middleton tonight,
Speaker 1: but they got much more from Denna Kompo and a
Speaker 1: good win for them. And they're obviously playing with a
Speaker 1: lot more confidence, maybe a freer spirit, rededication to their
Speaker 1: principles and whatnot. Under Joe Prunty. They've won four in
Speaker 1: a row and now the Sixers have dropped two games,
Speaker 1: and the Sixers, you know, we're trending up, We're and
Speaker 1: overall since Christmas, they continue to do that. But it's
Speaker 1: important to nip these things in the bud and make
Speaker 1: them two game losing streaks and not linger on because again,
Speaker 1: you've got some big ball games coming up this weekend,
Speaker 1: two games ahead of you in the standings in terms
Speaker 1: of Miami and Indiana, and don't overlook Brooklyn. They've had
Speaker 1: some nice wins of late and again a road game
Speaker 1: at the end of a long road trip and a
Speaker 1: busy stretch for the Sixers. Important game at Barkley's on
Speaker 1: Wednesday against the Nets. And here we are tim closing
Speaker 1: out the month of January on Wednesday, and it will
Speaker 1: be the first time the Sixers and the Nets go
Speaker 1: up against each other Brooklyn eighteen and thirty two. There
Speaker 1: was obviously the trade back in December linking these two franchises.
Speaker 1: Trevor book are going to the Sixers, Neckstaskus and Joel
Speaker 1: Okafour to the Nets. But Oka four's last time out
Speaker 1: with twenty one points in Staskus shooting the ball decently
Speaker 1: in sparing minutes off the bench, So this should be
Speaker 1: a neat subplot for the game on Wednesday night. Well,
Speaker 1: no doubt, and they're good young players and for them
Speaker 1: hopefully they're getting an opportunity. And everybody knows jalil Or
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to watch him. I know their coach
Speaker 1: was talking about Kenny Atkinson, was getting him in shape
Speaker 1: and raring to go. So apparently he's getting into the lineup,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And I think Booker's been very
Speaker 1: good for the seventy Sixers give him some toughness and
Speaker 1: some really good inside play off the bench. So one
Speaker 1: of those deals that was really needed to be made
Speaker 1: and hopefully it'll benefit both ball clubs. But again, bigger picture,
Speaker 1: great for the Sixers to go out there and try
Speaker 1: to gain a victory back. You'd expect him to have
Speaker 1: Joel and Bead back in the lineup, and then expected
Speaker 1: to play for the first time back to back in
Speaker 1: his career, which is he said that's a part of
Speaker 1: his career he's been missing. So if he does get
Speaker 1: to play twice in a row over the course of
Speaker 1: the weekend, that'll be big. And obviously they're just so
Speaker 1: much better. They've only won two games with him and
Speaker 1: what now, Brian nine losses without him. I thought Amir
Speaker 1: played well early but just did not play much in
Speaker 1: the second half, and Milwaukee just they were fired up
Speaker 1: here playing at home. They got that three ball going
Speaker 1: and they had a much better second half, out scoring
Speaker 1: the Sixers in the third and the fourth combined. When
Speaker 1: I was seven ninety five the final score. Another late
Speaker 1: night of flying for the seventy Sixers. Then Brooklyn on Wednesday, Tom,
Speaker 1: talk to you, then thank you Brian good Night, Greek
Speaker 1: freak was indeed freakish, the all star standing out for
Speaker 1: the Bucks. Seventy Sixers were down there's they fought, could
Speaker 1: not get the three points shot to fall. We'll get
Speaker 1: to some of the highlights on the other side, and
Speaker 1: then we'll send you on your Mary listening way to
Speaker 1: the one or only Devon given. So stay tuned. It's
Speaker 1: the postgame show here on the Sixers Radar Network. Seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers navigating the way through a testy and challenging road trip.
Speaker 1: They were in Oklahoma City last night, flew about nine
Speaker 1: hundred miles north the banks of Lake Michigan, where they
Speaker 1: met the Milwaukee Bucks at BMO Harris Bradley Center. Brian
Speaker 1: selt you with you from Sixers dot com. Let's get
Speaker 1: two some of tonight's highlights. Sixers and Bucks went back
Speaker 1: and forth in the first four minutes of tonight's game,
Speaker 1: and then Dario Schartz helped open things up. Darya the eight,
Speaker 1: Dario with the right hand left good another feed by
Speaker 1: Simmons pushing head. TJ steals the inbound from Brocket Sixers
Speaker 1: back to Dario. Charge in the lane and hammered by Hedson,
Speaker 1: and you know what, he would go to the free
Speaker 1: throw line, hit two free throws and that capped off
Speaker 1: a stretch of six straight points for him to give
Speaker 1: the Sixers a ten point lead. That lead would be
Speaker 1: cut to two thirty to twenty eight going into the
Speaker 1: first quarter. But on a night with Atcha Ellenbiid Dario
Speaker 1: Scharch again getting aggressive for the seventy sixers, the Bucks,
Speaker 1: led by Janis and Akoupos, trying together a run of
Speaker 1: eight straight points between the end of the first and
Speaker 1: end of the second, they would take the lead. The
Speaker 1: Sixers starting to play some catchup. Rashaun Holmes an extra
Speaker 1: time tonight with Adam Biid, he per usual, making the
Speaker 1: most of his minutes. Here's t J in the lane
Speaker 1: at Holmes gets another slab. Rashaun Holmes has eight points.
Speaker 1: They're all on jails. Yes he was a rolling duncan dude.
Speaker 1: Tonight's Sixers trailed fifty five fifty three at the half.
Speaker 1: In the third quarter, the race was on and the
Speaker 1: starting big man, Amir Johnson converting on some dirty work
Speaker 1: twelve to shoot back that. Dario driving on Middleton gets
Speaker 1: a Roger rapping inside. He goes to Tamir and a
Speaker 1: Johnson bucket puts the Sixers to what it won, and
Speaker 1: it was an and one free throw. Good tied up
Speaker 1: at sixty two. Moments later Charch with a two point
Speaker 1: sending the Sixers in front sixty four to sixty two.
Speaker 1: But after that on A Kompo really elevated his level
Speaker 1: of play. The Bucks would outscore the Sixers from there
Speaker 1: to take an eighty three seventy five lead going into
Speaker 1: the fourth, on Nakoompo having a say in sixteen of
Speaker 1: the final twenty one points Milwaukee scored. In the third,
Speaker 1: he scored eight himself assisted on eight. More so, very
Speaker 1: very tough to stop that, in addition to the fact
Speaker 1: that the Sixers did not have the three ball. Going
Speaker 1: through three quarters, they were still empty from outside the arc.
Speaker 1: But in the fourth they finally got one to go
Speaker 1: Milwaukee's business. Last four shots, Sixers got a capitalize Tommy
Speaker 1: ten on a transition open three, got it, fuck it
Speaker 1: triple and time out Milwaukee YEA. At that stage it
Speaker 1: was eighty eight to eighty one. The Bucks quilt quickly
Speaker 1: rebuilt a double figure lead. Ben Simmons drive and write it.
Speaker 1: Donna Kompo made it ninety five eighty five with about
Speaker 1: five and a half minutes left, but Donna Kompo would
Speaker 1: hit eighty three on the ensuing trip down the floor,
Speaker 1: and it just kind of felt like that would be
Speaker 1: enough for the Bucks tonight. And now back to Adena,
Speaker 1: Koumpo want to shoot. He finally realized his fires for
Speaker 1: three and he makes it, and that fight just do
Speaker 1: it for Milwaukee. Jannis Athena Koumpo makes to three at
Speaker 1: the shot block buzzer and the Bucks go up thirteen
Speaker 1: with four forty to go. He's got twenty nine at fifteen.
Speaker 1: It was a big triple, the only one of the
Speaker 1: night for the impending All Star and the Bucks get
Speaker 1: past the Sixers tonight. Buy a dozen. Some final notes
Speaker 1: from the final stat sheet. Seventy Sixers. You know, to
Speaker 1: their credit, they rebounded well tonight. They got some extra shots,
Speaker 1: got to the free throw line, but just couldn't overcome
Speaker 1: the issues they faced from the perimeter. They shot forty
Speaker 1: four percent for the game, the Bucks forty seven and
Speaker 1: a half. The Sixers had two more shots than Milwaukee
Speaker 1: on the night. But here's the main disparity. Bucks were
Speaker 1: eleven of twenty eight from outside the arc the Sixers
Speaker 1: two of twenty six. Sixers only missed two of their
Speaker 1: twenty three attempts from the free throw line. Milwaukee only
Speaker 1: missed two of their twenty two shots from the stripe.
Speaker 1: Sixers were plus one on the glass, they were plus
Speaker 1: two in terms of offensive rebounding, and the Sixers with
Speaker 1: fourteen turnovers on the night, but Milwaukee plus eight in
Speaker 1: terms of points scored off of turnovers. Individual notes outa
Speaker 1: Kumpo with thirty one eighteen and six ten of twenty
Speaker 1: two from the field, ten of ten from the free
Speaker 1: throw line. Chris Middleton, announced earlier today as the Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference Player of the Week, scored nineteen. He also had
Speaker 1: seven boards and six assists for the seventy sixers. Daro
Speaker 1: charch with team highs of nineteen points and seven rebounds
Speaker 1: I beg your pardon nine rebounds. He also had two
Speaker 1: assists in the game, thirteen for Robert Covington, sixteen points
Speaker 1: for Ben Simmons, to go with six rebounds and five assists,
Speaker 1: thirteen off the bench for a Shawn Holmes six of
Speaker 1: eight from the field. All six of his baskets were
Speaker 1: on dunks. Seventy sixers with the loss, now one and
Speaker 1: two on this current road trip. They are two games
Speaker 1: back of the Milwaukee Bucks and the Eastern Conference standings.
Speaker 1: Sixers in the eighth spot with the record of twenty
Speaker 1: four and twenty three. Milwaukee now twenty seven and twenty two,
Speaker 1: winners of four in a row on the heels of
Speaker 1: relieving Jason Kidd of his head coaching duties. Next up
Speaker 1: for the seventy six ers a seven thirty Wednesday matchup
Speaker 1: with Atlantic Division rival the Brooklyn Nets. So likely we'll
Speaker 1: see you Julil Okafour and Nick Stauskas in the game
Speaker 1: for Brooklyn. Brooklyn eighteen and thirty two on the year.
