WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 1/2/2019 ~ Rewind vs. Suns 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.000 This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:08.520 to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. It 0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:12.680 was a massive start by the seventy Sixers in Phoenix, Arizona, 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.520 in the finale of their road trip. It was a 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:20.479 very interesting and adventuresome finish to the last game on 0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:23.520 this season long five game trip, but most important as 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:27.680 concerns the seventy Sixers, it was a winning result. How's 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.000 it going. I'm Brian Seltzer. Thank you for staying up 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.680 late and following along on the seventy Sixers Raider Network. 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.400 We expect to hear from Brett Brown at a moment 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.760 Tom McGinnis after the appial playback some of Tom's game 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:42.639 calls as well. One thirty two, one twenty seven, the 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.800 final score the seventy Sixers winners, their second straight And man, 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.640 did Joel Ebid just take over? I mean, you can 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.960 throw that phrase around so often with him bed and 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.080 used words like dominant and overpowering with him on a 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.360 regular basis, because that's just how good he is. But 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.120 the way he's at tonight was on like a completely 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.360 different level. We'll get into that in a moment. We 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.600 expect to hear Brett Brown talk about that as well. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.679 The seventy six Ers were at scored by a pretty 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.840 sizeable disparity sixty to thirty five after going up by 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.560 thirty points, and we might hear Brett address that as well. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.080 Here he is after the six Ers point. They just 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.479 didn't go away, Booker is for real. They got young 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.320 guys that made some shots. I think that we got 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:27.039 a little bit tied at the end, but to get 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.440 a win on the road and go back to Philadelphia 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.280 is the bottom line. No Jimmy Butler, no Wilson Chandler, 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.360 but you have Ben Simmons, Joel and jj combining for 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:41.120 ninety eight points. Those three guys, and I thought Furkon 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.240 came in and played well. I think there was a drought. 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.920 There was a real funny part of the game that 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:51.440 you completely felt momentum turning and Furkon hit a monster 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.680 three like we really were in a position that where 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.640 we needed a basket, and I thought Furken in general 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.920 played well. But to your point, at those three um 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.640 carried us and we needed all of them. You said, 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.040 going into this game, before we knew that Joel Embiid 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.640 was gonna play that you hoped he did because he 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.120 gets out for games like this when he gets to 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.200 get a guy like DeAndre. What do you make of 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.799 his first half? I mean he's he's strong. What now 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.280 eight of those types of first halfs this year, it's just, uh, 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:27.400 just incredibly dominant. And teams do different things obviously in 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.679 the second half, and I thought that that Phoenix did 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.160 some of that as well, but I thought he continued 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.880 to just play. His spirit on the bench was unbelievable. 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.000 You know, Ben and Joel hooking up on some things 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.480 was was outstanding. And uh, you know, seeing those two 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:49.839 play together and and and lead us um was as 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:53.960 as impressive to me as the bottom line um when 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:59.400 the final score de betrious he got some some minutes tonight. 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.280 Would you think of his play? I mean he came in, 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:02.919 he gave us, you know, he had to hit those 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.919 few threes, he hit a dunk. We were down bodies well, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.760 you know, back to back. There wasn't much turnaround from 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:15.520 last night, and when you sort of shorthanded and searching 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.760 a little bit, I thought his energy off the bench 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.880 and the sort of being paid back for the hod 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.760 work that he has put in to get minutes and 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.360 perform as he did. I thought he was outstanding. Some 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.079 of Brett Brown's thoughts following the seventy six Ers one 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.960 thirty two one twenty seven win in Phoenix to finish 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.240 the road trip with a three and two record. Six 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.680 Ers now twenty five and fourteen on the season. Joel 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.000 and Beat matching the season high with forty two points 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.200 eighteen rebounds. He had thirty and fourteen in the first 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.480 half alone. Ben Simmons was pretty excellent from start to finish, 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.560 twenty nine points, a season high. The biggest thing fifteen 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.040 of twenty three from the free throw line is fifteen 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.360 free throws, equal career high from last year, but ultra 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.320 efficient on twenty three attempts, especially by the con text 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.040 of his foul shooting. JJ Reddick as it was pointed 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.680 out in the postgame press conference another big part of 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.480 that trio as well with twenty seven and listen to 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.800 it far be it for me too, and layers upon 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.920 the student analysis and commentary of the head coach Brett Brown. Yes, 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.880 the three pointer that Furkon quork Mos hit in crunch 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.760 time in the fourth quarter was a really, really important basket. 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:24.640 But I would also venture, because that one made it 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.720 one nineteen to one ten. The very next scoring play, 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.240 the seventy Sixers had to get it back to eleven. 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.680 He had a very nice assist to Joel Ebad, and 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.480 while Phoenix was not quite done at that point, they 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.960 ultimately got within three points. That sequence right there, involving 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.039 fur con Quorkms, the three pointer, the dime to Joel 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.320 and bad for the jam. Really important plays in tonight's game, 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.400 a one thirty two two, one twenty seven win. The 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.480 seventy Sixers, you could tell down the stretch may be 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.720 got a little bit tired having played in La versus 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.120 the Clippers last night, and again no Wilson Chandler or 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.479 Jimmy Butler in tonight's game, both of the dealing with 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.400 upper respiratory infection. So the Sixers get it done shorthanded 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.160 under dress, come back home two days off before. It 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.320 should be a great match up on Saturday versus rookie Phenom, 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.280 Luca Donjich and the Dallas Mavericks. But we're going to 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.640 talk more about this one, and we'll talk with the 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.800 man who talked about it for the last couple hours, 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.640 Tom mc ginnis. He's standing by We'll go to him 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.040 next in Phoenix. It's the postgame show on the Sixers 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.119 Rated network.

You know, we should probably be thankful that 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.680 this game went two hours, twenty nine minutes tonight, because 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.039 it had in large part to do with all the 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.520 free throws that were taken and the majority of which 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.680 were shot by the seventy six Ers forty one a 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.919 fifty four from the free throw line, Ben Simmons and 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:16.720 Joel Embiid combining to go thirty two of forty two 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.160 from the foul line, and that was ultra important in 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.039 the victory over Phoenix. Tom McGinnis had the call of 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.080 this one. Tom. I mean that first half by Joel 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:30.640 Embiid was really exceptional and maybe fatigue, maybe part of 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.640 human nature. The Sixers, they were just so dominant this one. 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.800 Phoenix ultimately came back and made a run. But they 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.800 got it done shorthanded tonight and are coming back with 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.000 some momentum they did. And you know, one thing, I 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.719 made a comment as we get set for the start 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.440 of the third quarters, the Phoenix is going to make 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.880 a run. This is their home court. You know, they 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.880 really didn't play all that well in the first half. 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.599 It's a matter of a few things. When the run comes, 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.360 how long it lasts, what kind of dent it puts 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.640 in the Sixers lead. And I guess you could add 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.280 a fourth and that is, you know, in what ash 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.599 and while it was with their reserves, and it was 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.520 in a thirty eight point third quarter, and again it 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.640 was ninety seven sixty seven and at one point, then 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.520 early in the fourth they'd cut that lead from thirty 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.400 to fifteen. And then you know, you come down with 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.280 an empty possession or two of the Sixers had a 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.440 rash of turnovers, and you know, they get a bucket, 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.880 Josh Jackson started going. Rashwan played well for them and 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.520 they were back in it. And that whole time, Booker 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.280 was out and their coach, Igor Kokushkov left those guys 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:32.520 out and Eaton finally got back in there. But then 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.920 they came back and you know, it got tight down 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.920 the stretch. Now you're right in Bed was to me 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.760 dominant and Aton got into foul trouble. T j Warren 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.280 was a non factor because of foul difficulty. Bridges struggled, 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.440 and you know, those are three of their starters and 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.520 they were I mean, DeAndre Eton had some moments, ended 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.200 up in double figures in both categories points and rebounds. 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.239 But Joel was dominant and again like he was able 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.520 to catch the ball on the same block. He's a 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.240 right hand player, so he likes to catch it on 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.840 the left block. And oftentimes a good defensive team will 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.960 get a guy out of that comfort zone, make him 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.360 catch it further out. And now that that makes it 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:12.800 a whole different thing. I mean, and beat over the 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.240 last two years has had to shoot a lot of 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.960 face up shots, in other words, sixteen eighteen foot shots 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.600 on the wing facing the basket. Not tonight he's catching 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.600 it close to the basket getting into the lane, got fouled. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.040 Was dominant and just in Reddick and Simmons, that trio 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.680 was incredible, a staking the six Ers to that big 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.199 lead in the first half and then you know, like 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.720 I described in the second half, how they made an 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.839 a run and it's okay. McConnell came on. He was ticked. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.520 He was not happy that it kind of happened in 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.160 part on his watch. But in the end, it's a 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.199 nice road victory. Any win in the NBA is a 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.640 is a a good road victory, even against a team 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.000 that has nine wins, and it becomes a winning road 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:51.800 trip as you go back home. For really, was it 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:55.360 what is a very difficult month of January forty two points, 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.560 eighteen rebounds and two block shots to go with two 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.920 assists for Joel Embiid Ben Simmons times season high twenty 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.120 nine points. He had three rebounds, six assists. But if 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.000 you go back to I want to say, if I'm 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.200 remembering correctly, I think it was the exit interview for 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.200 Simmons in May where Brett Brown he was asked, well, 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.319 you know, what's Ben's off season to do list? And 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.440 where's the jump shot and a factor into things, because 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.840 that's something that people pay so much attention to. And 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:20.520 Brett was like, hold on, before we even get to 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.920 the jump shot, let's look at his production and efficiency 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.480 from the free throw line. And there was some staff 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.840 that was thrown out. You know, if Ben makes takes 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.120 two more attempts per game or makes five more shoots 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.079 five free throws a game, six ers might have been 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.199 five wins better last year. Well, this tonight, fifteen to 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.040 twenty three from the free throw line. I mean, that's 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.240 something that you'd have to think, Brett, the entire team 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:42.959 had to really be thrilled with in a game that 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.800 ended up this close. Absolutely, and he had his misses, 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.480 obviously if he missed eight, but there were times in 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.360 the guts of the game where he was knocking them 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.800 down making both the free throws. And you know, his 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.800 shot chart forget I'm not saying forget the free throws, 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.559 because you make a very valid point and it was 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.160 obviously a huge point of emphasis by the co coach. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.960 I don't mean to miss that, but from the field, 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.160 his shot chart had a coach last night saying, man, 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.439 it's unbelievable looking at where he gets all his baskets. 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.640 And I'll add this, he ended up missing a lot 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.520 of those shots right near the rim. He played in 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.839 the end forty minutes when seven of eleven. Now a 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.800 lot of those attempts he was where he was down 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.080 there and missed. He went to the line twenty three 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:25.920 free throws to your point, twenty nine points, a season high. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.480 And he's just a unique player. I mean, somebody post 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.080 tonight to one of the Phoenix broadcasters, you know who 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.440 is Ben, said, what does he play like? And you know, 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.520 I think his Sixers fans, the first thing we would 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.520 say is his end to end action is incredible. It's 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.079 it's an elite, world class ability to drive that basketball 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.199 from follo line to following unlike any other player. I 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.720 think that exists in the NBA today. He's just six 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:53.160 ten and he's an incredible athlete, long strides, powerful, and 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.240 then he gets to the rim and you know he's 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.120 able to facilitate and lead the attack. He's just he 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.560 brings a whole different dimension and dynamic to the four 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:06.160 and he's a nightmare matchup, and tonight he was a 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.040 dominant player for the Sixers. Nice time to see the 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.439 seventy sixers respond these past two games. Tonight it was 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.080 a one thirty two one twenty seven win over the 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.600 Phoenix Suns and a really intriguing matchup coming up on 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.840 Saturday against the Dallas team that's making strides. Yeah, he 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:25.120 has really been amazing. Are you kidding me? Nineteen years old? 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.080 I mean, and it'd be a treat, you know that. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.040 That's why, that's why you plucked down the money. You 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.360 go to stubub, you get a season ticket, hover it works, 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.800 and you get to that ball game and you come 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.319 to see some of this elite you know, I'll say 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.040 it again, world class talent, because he has been a marvel. 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.360 And you know, for us thus far, we've just seen 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.720 him on the highlights and watched him. And you know, 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.240 I made a comment earlier speaking of Phoenix broadcasters. I 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.319 was talking here at the half with their longtime boys 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:55.120 Al McCoy, and you talked about Nash and you know, 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.440 he just loved to play. He had a zeal for 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.079 competition and for the game, and it came out in 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.840 an effervescent, likable kind of way. And again watching Donas 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.400 from Afar, he seems like a nineteen year old kid 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.120 who's having a good time and oh, by the way 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.000 he's doing you know, his life's work right in front 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.400 of you know, his Dallas crowd, and in an NBA game. 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.280 So it'll be interesting to watch him play. And I 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.000 don't know if he'd be paired with Ben, he might be. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.200 And the Sixers played Dallas, and I think they're a 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.160 lot better than a lot of people thought maybe they were. 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.440 I know they're hovering under five hundred, but what a 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.240 resounding win against the Kemba Walker led Charlotte Hornets tonight 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.839 and that'll be a good game. And then get Washington 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.440 and a back to back, And like I said, you 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.120 look at the Sixers down the road. They come back 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.400 out west here at Double Lakers, they play the Warriors. 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.400 They got games with Oklahoma and Houston. This is a 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.240 big tough stretch of the schedule here in this opening 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.800 month of the nineteen portion of the season. The season 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.959 really does feel like it is on for good for 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.800 this stage of the year. Hope time you guys catch 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.079 a very nice talent coming back, all right, Bud Yep, 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.400 long trip, Thank you, Brian, goodnight.

Onto the second, the team maintaining a healthy 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.760 a lead and Demetrius Jackson, one of the two eight 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.520 players for the seventy sixers, the recipient of a great 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.280 Ben Simmons passed, but DJ made a great play himself. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.880 Sixers ball Mike Buscotta outside right to Demetrius Jackson, squares up, three, 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:21.120 ball up and gun.

It was 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.520 one of four eighty seven going into the fourth, but 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.760 Phoenix continued to apply some pressure to Sixers, still ding 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.800 some buckets.

It's good Simmons driving a down low 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.440 foul and a basket. So Simmons looking for the and 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.640 one man he got it, making it one ten to 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.160 ninety one, nineteen point game.

But 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.359 the Sixers would hang on to win this one by 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:11.000 the final of one thirty two to one.
