WEBVTT - Rewind vs. Denver Nuggets - 12/10/19 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.360 You're listening to rewind. They listen back on press conferences, 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:08.080 highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. The 0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:11.320 seventy Sixers clamped down in crunch time fend off the 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:14.760 Denver Nuggets ninety seven ninety two. I'm Brian Seltzer will 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.480 join a progress right now. The winning head coach, Brett Brown, 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.520 I thought he did a good job of continuing to 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:27.240 stay aggressive offensively, those types of things that stretch with 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:31.240 the teeth of a three and they got ja. Yeah. 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.600 I mean you can feel the building light up. You know, 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:39.800 he really is a an energy giver. When he can 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.640 make those types of plays, he continues to just move 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.559 up the food chain in relation to sort of the 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.320 confidence as the head coach you having him, and that 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.840 his teammates are growing to having him. Struggled to score 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.000 later at the end game, but he regarded them also 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.000 really well. But speaking of offensively, what were you trying 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:03.440 to do to down trying to go through Joe, you know, 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.640 trying to get to bias the ball. A few times 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.959 we looked at Ben, you know, in some pick and 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.440 roll type stuff and just not stopping the play and 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.080 letting him play out of it. It was a physical game. 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:16.800 I mean, if you look at the it was sixteen 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:21.720 fourteen in the last period for both teams. We found 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.440 difficulties scoring, you know, and I think that that with 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.520 for me, like we're going through Joe a lot, and uh, 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:36.200 that's that a struggle for you guys to get twelve 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.760 going for like the entirety of a game. That's he 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:42.520 has these good stretches. I'm sorry, I'm getting don key. 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.560 So it feels like we haven't seen many sustained great 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.880 stretches from He has these sparks where he's been to backball, 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.600 but maybe not over the course of an entire game. 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.520 So what what needs to change for him to get 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.680 I think for me it's always about like the passing 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.160 out of the post. I thought he had one turnover 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.120 tonight in the fourth period at the post, I thought 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:09.720 he did a good job. How many assist did he 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.960 end up with? Yeah, you know, so we need to 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.040 you know, I think look at that a little bit, 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.680 and he's a lightning rod for double teams or deep digs. 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.840 You know. It's like for me, it's a lot it's 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:23.680 like who do you put in the slot that first 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.639 pass out of it needs to be a good shooter, 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.440 and so to to go away from that, I'm not 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:36.800 doing that. And I think to just get him feeling comfortable, confident, 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:41.240 deep catches, spacing around him, willingness which he has shown 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:45.320 to pass that. That's that's what we're going to do. Now. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.640 What I will tell you is if you just go 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.880 back to some of the recent games, you know, we 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.200 put tobias and a lot of stuff, you know with 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.720 middle pick and rolls, sort of wing ISOs or wing 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.920 sideline pick and rolls. You know, times we've gone to 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.480 Ben and I think like when you have a second dribbler, 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.560 a pick and roll guy in Jay Ridge, it's gonna 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:09.000 open up more options. But it's always on oline and 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.000 stuff we always try to, you know, get better and 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:17.200 better at and that's the mission of the season. Seventy 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.720 Sixers outlast the Denver Nuggets ninety seven ninety two. As 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.560 you heard Brett Brown say, it combined thirty points. That's 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.760 it between the two teams over the final twelve minutes 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.959 of regulation. The seventy Sixers able to get by thanks 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.079 to strong efforts in the second and third quarters. Thought 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.160 Al Horford, even though he finished five for sixteen from 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.760 the field, one for eight from three, eleven points, nine rebounds. 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.600 He was huge in the third quarter, when he scored 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.960 nine of his eleven points. He also had a timely 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.760 basket in the fourth. Tobias Harris came up large once again, 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.360 his fifth twenty point outing in his last six games. 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.320 He scored twenty on the nose, seven of seventeen from 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.960 the field, a double double for Joel and b twenty 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.640 two points, ten rebounds, six assists, four turnovers. He was 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.920 six for seven from the free throw line, and while 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.240 the Sixers were having a tough time getting points on 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.000 the board in the final four minutes of regulation, it 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.680 was Joel Embiid at the free throw line with fifteen 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:14.080 point three seconds left to put this game away. Will 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.320 Barton started hot for the Nuggets. He finished with twenty 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:21.359 six Nicolajokich put up fifteen points, seven rebounds, eleven assists, 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.000 Hestible great off the bench thirteen points. He was plus 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.400 twenty and twenty six minutes now he finished the game. Essentially, 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.159 he's the Sixers two guard because Josh Richardson, who was 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.320 back in the lineup for the first time in six games, 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.760 he was on a minute restriction tonight he played nineteen minutes. 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.640 You presume we don't know this for a fact that 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.760 Richardson was on a twenty minute limit tonight, Matise finishing 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.120 out the game, and he just had some great all 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.880 around plays, key rebounds in the fourth quarter as well 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.359 for Matisse, and is all around solid defensive play as well. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.520 Seventy Sixers are thirteen and oh here at home. They've 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.120 won three straight and eleven out of the last thirteen, 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.680 and they split the season series with the Nuggets, now 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.520 eighteen and seven overall. On the air, Tom Beginnis joins us. Now, Tom, 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.400 these were two of the best defensive teams in the 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.040 league coming in the seventy Sixers number three. Denver was 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.640 number two. We saw that playout, especially in the fourth quarter. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.919 But the Sixers, to their credit, even though they almost 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.440 went scoreless for the final four minutes, their defense got 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.120 enough stops, right, and that's what's gonna give the Sixers, 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.960 you know, a chance going forward, like in the big 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:27.039 games in the Lord Willing in the playoffs, that defense, 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.000 because and they're trying to sort this out a little 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.200 bit in terms of you know, the scoring down the stretch, 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.680 and you know, again just for starters. This is gonna 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.000 sound so simple, but get a shot up, you know, 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.360 get a decent look, and if you make it, great, 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.560 I mean obviously, but at least don't turn the ball over. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.279 Try to execute. And it's tough, you know, especially the 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.200 way Coach Brown was saying that, the way they go 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.440 at and beat and and then Tobias. You know, you 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.960 know he's getting the ball in space, but they're they're 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.960 going to swarm him and it's difficult. I mean, that's 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.520 what That's what makes, you know, the end of the 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.760 game so exciting, is how intense it is and how 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.040 how it changes. I mean, you look at the final 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.080 like like we said, and coach reiterated, like I believe 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.560 it was sixteen fourteen or something like that, where Denver 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.080 just outscored there six only fourteen points in the fourth quarter. 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.600 So but that's that's how it is in the playoffs, 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.440 where you know, the court shrinks a little bit, it's 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.320 more difficult to score, and you know, you've got to 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.960 have playmakers and the ability to get baskets down the stretch, 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.320 stops and scores is the key. They were getting the 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:29.960 stops and they didn't get the scores. They did get 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.200 the two free throws by Joel. But again, the bigger 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.560 thing is the Sixers won. They're finding ways to win. 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.000 They've done it thirteen times. There's been any number of 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:42.640 these games that have been close and yet the Sixers prevailed. 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.400 And so eleven games over five hundred. It hasn't all 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.640 been perfect. It's perfect at home, but in terms of 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.440 getting there, it's been a little bit up and down. 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.960 But in the end they've gotten all these wins, and 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.080 this was a well played game. I think if you're 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.120 watching this game, you know anywhere else against we're really 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.520 vested in this here. Exciting for our fans, no doubt, 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.200 but that you you know, you tuned in around the 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.640 country and you watched a pretty good NBA basketball game. Yeah, 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.320 I mean you'd have to say, right, think these teams 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.160 are pretty balanced in terms of how they match up. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.080 I mean, you've got versatile big man and embiad and yokis. 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.800 You've got teams that generally shoot efficiently from outside the arc, 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.320 great defense. One wild card for the well, I guess 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:23.840 you can't even really call him a wild card anymore. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.880 For the seventy six Ers. Matisse Thible thirteen points plus twenty. 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.640 Richardson got the start, but Matisse finished the game because 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.320 Josh was on a minute restriction and for as energizing 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.400 as you called it, the peekaboo dunk was in the 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.840 corner three that stretch that gave the Sixers a cushion 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.160 in the first half. I mean, he came up with 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.400 two huge rebounds in crunch time, one which led to 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.000 a Horford jumper that gave the seventy six or some 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.320 insurance with four minutes to go, and another one on 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.960 the defensive end when the Sixers needed those stops down 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.800 the stretch right, And there's a lot there. And one 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.920 thing I said during the course of, you know, describing 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.240 the game, is that Thible is going to for the 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.360 six yes, coaches to play him more. He's just going 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.440 to be that good. And that's that's what we're seeing here, 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.280 you know. And you don't want to speak for the 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.000 coaches or whatever, but that's prior to the game. He 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:12.640 was saying. The minutes are going to be reduced a 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.840 little bit with Richardson coming back into the mix, and 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.400 so the wing players like cork Mos and like James Ennis, 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.960 even Mike Scott and Thieball all within that grouping of 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.800 of trying to get some time. Well, you know, whether 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.720 it's a tournament as coach called it last year with 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.840 jan Jonathan Simmons and James Ennis, it's the gym speaks. 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.040 And that's what Brett Brown has said all along, in 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.480 other words, who plays in practice and shows these guys 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.960 the coaches stuff? And same thing in the games, I 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.959 mean even more so. And Thible is doing that. And 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.200 then you know, like you're saying about the rebounds and 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.559 all that, he's got young legs and he's got an 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.680 incredible instinct at a knack of knowing where the ball is. 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.760 Clearly on defense. He made a great play right in 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.079 front of us where he tipped it off of Harris 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.640 earlier in the third quarter. And uh, you know that 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.440 that basketball IQ, And like I said, his elity to 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.080 read and anticipate that serves him so well defensively, does 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.440 so on the glass. And now he's starting to knock 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.880 down the three with consistency. He's had an incredible last 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.840 few games for the Sixers, seventy sixers over the Nuggets 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.800 ninety seven to ninety two. All Right, I was excited 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.199 for the Sunday game. I was excited for tonight's game. 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.679 I'm really excited for Thursday night, seventy six Ers going 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.320 up to Boston TD Garden, one of the other best 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.400 venues in the NBA. You know, it's going to be fun. 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.560 I mean, there's a lot made of Al Horford facing 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.480 the Celtics on Opening Night, but this is really going 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.400 to be his moment on Thursday, back in the building 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.600 for the first time since leaving after spending three years there. 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.319 And the Celtics entered today a full game in front 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.080 of the seventy Sixers for the lead in the Atlantic 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.679 and for second place in the East. Right, and now 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.800 they're a half game because they're Idol And I'll make 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.560 you a little more excited. They're a Celtzer and that 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.520 is they play tomorrow on the road at Indiana and 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.400 that always helps, and that the Sixers will show down 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.520 with Boston Thursday night at eight o'clock. And they played 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.000 so well. It was a little that game here at 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.200 the Center was a little rat down the stretch and 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.800 then an opener and the Sixers prevailed. But then they 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.600 took off and they would they win eleven twelve games 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.360 in a row. There was definitely a double digit winning 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.840 streak before. Like I said, they lost in Sacramento. They 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.160 lost Hayward there for a little while with a hand injury, 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:18.839 but he's back, and Brown and Tatum and Walker they're 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.280 they're so versatile and so solid, and they're they're undefeated 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.559 at the home as well, and a share. One last thing, 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.800 but when the Sixers were in New York, I guess 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.800 it's almost now two weeks ago, Boston was saying there 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.120 they were playing Brooklyn and the Sixers were playing the Knicks, 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.960 and they were housed, if you will, in the same hotel. 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.440 So we were around him for oh, I don't know, 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.120 like at least two or three different comings and goings, 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.640 and like we know all those guys. It's it's unbelieving. 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.800 Their staff they're coach league playoffs divisuals. They were. I mean, 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.440 I don't know about the players, but I had I 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.720 must have had a dozen conversations with different players and 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.559 coaches and staff members. And then you watch their game 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.360 against the Nets and certainly over the last few years 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.160 and the playoffs of course two years ago. I mean, 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.400 these that's how a rivalry, you know, when there is 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:09.679 that close and that adverse relationship and it's the Celtics. 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:10.760 I mean, how much more do you have to say 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.880 if you're from the Sixers. So now it'll be great 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.240 and the Sixers continue to really they just need to 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.719 stream together as close as they can to forty eight 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.200 minutes and they're gonna get this thing figured out because 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.160 they they played some really good stretches of basketball. And 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.280 again there've been a couple of hiccups here or there 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.400 where the opposition has been able to come back, but 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.800 that out'll be really exciting on Thursday. And again the 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.240 game will be on TNT, so we'll have the call 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.839 locally and we'll be right here with the coverage on 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.840 the radio.
