Speaker 1: Frozen down over to JJ three bonus good running crops
Speaker 1: The Sixers postgame show right now on thirty seven five
Speaker 1: The Fanatic What a treats for the home crowd. In
Speaker 1: tonight's home opener, the seventy Sixers a thoroughly dominant one
Speaker 1: twenty seven one away victory over the visiting Chicago Bulls
Speaker 1: and even the Ledger on the season at one and
Speaker 1: one two games in, Brian Seltzer grates be with you
Speaker 1: on the postgame show tonight. Our hope is that we'll
Speaker 1: be able to effort some audio from Brett Brown's postgame
Speaker 1: media availability, because I want to hear him talk about
Speaker 1: a ton of stuff. How about Joel Embiid absolutely dominant
Speaker 1: a thirty point twelve rebound game to go with four
Speaker 1: block shots. Ben Simmons needed less than twenty five minutes
Speaker 1: to spend his first triple double of the season. He
Speaker 1: finished with thirteen, thirteen and eleven. Robert Covington very solid
Speaker 1: twenty points contributed to the cause. Good defensive presence. But
Speaker 1: I think you know, there are a lot of other
Speaker 1: things you can look at from this game. Landry Shammot
Speaker 1: some eye opening minutes, twenty nine of them for the Sixers,
Speaker 1: finished with twelve points, four rebounds, two steals, defended well distributed,
Speaker 1: great vision, But I think once you get past the
Speaker 1: win and the bounce back and Bead and Ben Simmons,
Speaker 1: there is no doubt the story from this game was, yes,
Speaker 1: the twenty year old Mark hell Folds, but mainly how
Speaker 1: the crowd here treated him the entire night. I've been
Speaker 1: around for thirty three years, and I've not been to
Speaker 1: every sporting event in Philadelphia, but I think you'd be
Speaker 1: hard pressed to find another display of encouragement, support, love, affection.
Speaker 1: It was amazing when he hit that three pointer. It
Speaker 1: was like the Sixers hit a go ahead shot in
Speaker 1: a playoff game, and that just type of positive energy
Speaker 1: in tonight's game and all the everything you heard and
Speaker 1: everything you read the last forty eight hours after the
Speaker 1: Boston game, one single game was like the sky was falling.
Speaker 1: It's a long season, long way to go, and just
Speaker 1: for Mark hell Faults, someone who has worked hard and
Speaker 1: his heart is in the right place, it was terrific
Speaker 1: to see the fans rally completely unanimously in support of Faults. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll get off my soapbox now, but a really nice
Speaker 1: game from urkel Folts he started. He did come off
Speaker 1: the bench in the second half, finished with twelve. This
Speaker 1: game got off to a tourid start. There was combined
Speaker 1: seventy nine points in the first quarter of the Sixers
Speaker 1: trailed forty one to thirty eight. The defense locked in
Speaker 1: after that. The Sixers held the Bulls to only thirty
Speaker 1: five points between the second and third quarters and that
Speaker 1: helped them build up the lead as large as twenty
Speaker 1: seven and roll in this one going away by the
Speaker 1: final of one twenty seven twenty eight. Tom McGinnis is
Speaker 1: sitting right next to us. Tom, your initial thoughts A
Speaker 1: vastly different look from the Sixers tonight, no doubt, And boy,
Speaker 1: they finally got things turned around a little bit because
Speaker 1: Chicago was just as you said, really hot to start,
Speaker 1: and that was an exciting opening part of the game.
Speaker 1: He had a sense of Sixers defense would begin to
Speaker 1: take control a little bit. That's exactly what occurred in
Speaker 1: the second and the third and in Bed and Simmons
Speaker 1: were just playing at another level. You knew coming into
Speaker 1: the game that Joel was gonna have to like the
Speaker 1: matchup with Wendell Carter Jr. A promising young player, really
Speaker 1: a forward for Chicago placing that had five spot here
Speaker 1: tonight and did not disappoint. He was a perfect four
Speaker 1: for four to start the game from the field and
Speaker 1: Simmons like in Boston, he maybe didn't have quite the
Speaker 1: game that he did tonight, but he just looks like,
Speaker 1: you know, he was at another level last year for
Speaker 1: first year players now you know, and he looked like
Speaker 1: if the phrase a man amongst boys, among young first
Speaker 1: year players tonight he almost looks like that period in
Speaker 1: the NBA. He looks like he's on a mission. And
Speaker 1: he was dominant tonight, flowing, attacking, got to the line,
Speaker 1: made all of his free throws. Covington finally got hot.
Speaker 1: You got nice performances off the bench from Shammon and Reddick,
Speaker 1: and then Marquelle picked it up and played well, particularly
Speaker 1: passing a mere Johnson played well. Great team win for
Speaker 1: the Sixers with their first victory of the year. Seventy
Speaker 1: six Ers was over the Chicago Bulls one twenty seven
Speaker 1: to one oh eight. Did I go a little bit
Speaker 1: too overboard that I get too carried away talking about
Speaker 1: what the crowd was like with Markel It was great.
Speaker 1: I mean it was great. On one hand, like if
Speaker 1: you just took everything away from what we know in
Speaker 1: the whole situation, you're talking about a player making a
Speaker 1: fifteen foot or like, well, what's going on? But with everything,
Speaker 1: the support was awesome and he joined his point post
Speaker 1: game and mentioned and how could he not be invigorated
Speaker 1: and buoyed if you will buy that crowd reaction and
Speaker 1: you could tell you. I mean, it was visible that
Speaker 1: the guy's got a lot of hopping and step anyway,
Speaker 1: but I thought it had added a little zest to
Speaker 1: the way he was carrying himself and dribbling that basketball
Speaker 1: and making plays, and you know, like it's almost like
Speaker 1: in a in other words, his contribution down the stretch
Speaker 1: the game was in hand, but like when your team's
Speaker 1: not winning, you're like, wow, you got to get something
Speaker 1: out of this game. And for me, that down the
Speaker 1: stretch for Marquel, I think that probably gave him a
Speaker 1: bit of confidence as he gets ready now for another
Speaker 1: home game against Orlando. And you know what, I think
Speaker 1: in the end, he's gonna be fine. He just needs
Speaker 1: to continue to gain momentum and play well and keep
Speaker 1: doing the things that he's doing. Is Brett Brown said pregame, Brian,
Speaker 1: and you were sitting there during his availability as well.
Speaker 1: He's going with it, you know, he's there's no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. You know, he's gonna try to grow and
Speaker 1: develop Marquel Folks for the benefit of the team. And
Speaker 1: that's the way it's gonna stay. And so Fols played
Speaker 1: well here tonight and not perfect, but certainly shows some
Speaker 1: great signs as he continues to move forward during this
Speaker 1: second season. Six Ers topple the Chicago Bulls one twenty
Speaker 1: seven to one to eight, win their home opener, and
Speaker 1: the records now one and one on the year. How
Speaker 1: about our man at a Boise State tonight? Like what
Speaker 1: you see right, Landry Shammont, Look, I beg your pardon
Speaker 1: Whichita state? Oh yeah, no, he's now And that to me,
Speaker 1: he's not like the Sixers have the mantra welcome to
Speaker 1: the moment. He's he's he's welcoming his NBA moment without
Speaker 1: batting an eye. In other words, he's stepping right into shots,
Speaker 1: I thought, and understandably, So you go into Boston hostile
Speaker 1: territory opening game, and you know, maybe he wasn't as confident,
Speaker 1: but tonight and I talked to him pregame and he said, man,
Speaker 1: I can just feel it. There's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of energy in the building. And that's what he does.
Speaker 1: And the Sixers did a great job and scouting him
Speaker 1: and drafting him, and he's gonna be a contributing player.
Speaker 1: And when you consider he was the second of the
Speaker 1: sixers two first round picks, and that they acquired a
Speaker 1: hearing that deal with Phoenix and when Smith gets back,
Speaker 1: you're going to add and inject a whole no other
Speaker 1: athletic component to it. And Sham, it's a good player,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. And I think he's going to hold
Speaker 1: his own defensively. And hey, the Sixers neat shop makers
Speaker 1: and he's going to fit the bill in part from
Speaker 1: that department. Next up for the seventies Sixers, they've got
Speaker 1: the Orlando Magic on Saturday at seven thirty time. Talked
Speaker 1: to you at that point. You got it, Brian, Thanks
Speaker 1: and good night. Sixers over the Chicago Bulls one twenty seven,
Speaker 1: one o eight. After a competitive high school first quarter,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it for the Sixers. After that, we
Speaker 1: had Joel Embiid with thirty points, twelve rebounds, and four
Speaker 1: block shots. Ben Simmons's first triple double of the year
Speaker 1: with thirteen points, thirteen boards, eleven assists off the bench,
Speaker 1: a mere Johnson a very nice night, thirteen points for
Speaker 1: him and three rebounds. He was a nice little spark
Speaker 1: spelling Joel embiid Landry Shamut looked real good. JJ Reddick
Speaker 1: very effective as well, and to some great interplay between
Speaker 1: the crowd and MARKL. Foltz helping pick the young dude up,
Speaker 1: and he held his own as this game went along.
Speaker 1: Sixers end up winning this one by nineteen. We'll continue
Speaker 1: with our postgame coverage after this thinking their first official
Speaker 1: appearance of Consequence in the regular season here at the
Speaker 1: Center hosting the Chicago Bulls and their two eighteen home opener,
Speaker 1: convincing dominant, one sided win. Brian Seltza with you from
Speaker 1: Sixers dot Com. We're gonna hear from Brett Brown coming up.
Speaker 1: Let's saying about five minutes after our next break, but
Speaker 1: we'll hit some of the highlights from Tom McGinnis's radio call.
Speaker 1: A great one to night early on. It was all
Speaker 1: Joel embad Sixers into a beat and bead gets position
Speaker 1: and jams it great high low feed by Dario Charge
Speaker 1: and Joel Ebad running rough shot on the Bulls put
Speaker 1: the Sixers up twelve to ten, and Bead wasn't done
Speaker 1: before he first subbed out. Here's Ebad faking. Carter Junior
Speaker 1: goes by, Joel sidesteps about it, puts it up and
Speaker 1: in It's not fair a seven foot center with the
Speaker 1: mooze of a ballet guy. No, it was not fair,
Speaker 1: and no contest, no answer from the Bulls for Embad.
Speaker 1: He had twelve points by the time he first subbed out. Sixers,
Speaker 1: Bulls went back and forth in a fast paced first quarter.
Speaker 1: Bulls actually led at forty one to thirty eight. Then
Speaker 1: some of the best defense we've seen in the very
Speaker 1: very very very early going of this season from the Sixers.
Speaker 1: The defense clamped down that allowed the offense to get going.
Speaker 1: And this sequence that will play you two highlights from
Speaker 1: Markuell Folts really showing up Sixers, Bawl, Covington and simmons
Speaker 1: On in a moment. Here's Folds from seventeen around that gun,
Speaker 1: Marquel Folds outside the top of the excuse me, the
Speaker 1: Filene area, and he makes the free throw and the
Speaker 1: crowd gives him a huge ovation. They are really and
Speaker 1: it continues to grow and it's attorney into a semi
Speaker 1: standing ovation. No exaggeration from the radio man right there,
Speaker 1: it was true. So much love being shown towards Folts,
Speaker 1: and especially after this play. Moments later, across big court
Speaker 1: to faults. Here he goes right at arch Domina, passes
Speaker 1: out to Dario, charge for three shot. Here Remy no rebound,
Speaker 1: faults back to Joe look out below Joco and being
Speaker 1: slaps it. Oh and he gets the crowd going. The
Speaker 1: balls are taking time. Marquel faults, helping the Sixers tie
Speaker 1: the game at forty six. Sixers up sixty five fifty
Speaker 1: eight at the break in the third. That's when the
Speaker 1: Sixers put this game away. Robert Covington helped the team
Speaker 1: get out of the gate. Rolling in the third, Dario
Speaker 1: to JJ Reddick dribbles back to Dario dribbles on the
Speaker 1: wing in the blank kickout. Covingdon't wind up with three
Speaker 1: ball right time. Sixers put it up an end. Robert
Speaker 1: Covington knocks down to three on a drawn pick and
Speaker 1: the bowls want time ten ten to go. In the third,
Speaker 1: Sixers by eleven, a double digit cushion and a wide
Speaker 1: open three batman. Folks who we were talking about Sixers
Speaker 1: would get a nice boost from him. Again. Before the
Speaker 1: third quarter was done, Mark Keel with a reba left
Speaker 1: hand put back left hand, tappy finals up his own
Speaker 1: visit in Foltz made it ninety two to seventy. The
Speaker 1: play after that Robert Covington into three. That was Ben
Speaker 1: simmons tenth assist and clinched for him a triple double
Speaker 1: before the third quarter was through, Sixers up one oh two,
Speaker 1: seventy six going in the fourth and this one of
Speaker 1: the top highlights that was left in regulation. Mark kel
Speaker 1: with it, He's gonna fire for three. It's in the
Speaker 1: air and good and the crowd loves that. The Sixers
Speaker 1: with their eleven made make that twelve three in the
Speaker 1: game and the crowd goes crazy. Some of the top
Speaker 1: sounds from the Sixers one twenty seven one o eight

Speaker 1: Network btal segment of our postgame covers the first round
Speaker 1: of our postgame coverage here on the Sixers Rating Network.

Speaker 1: The Fanatic UPE N Burlington, Philadelphia, broadcasting from the Xfinity
Speaker 1: Studio only from Comcast seventy Sixers Beat the Bulls one
Speaker 1: twenty seven, one oh eight. We tried to effort some
Speaker 1: audio from Brett Brown's press conference. We'll give you a
Speaker 1: sample of it right here. I mean, I think it's
Speaker 1: probably and I'll answer you a question, but it's almost
Speaker 1: like I faulted the whole game. He ended up taking
Speaker 1: the most shots out of anybody on our team, which
Speaker 1: in itself is to me a statement. I just saw this,
Speaker 1: you know, five minutes ago. I wasn't really even aware
Speaker 1: he was taking that many shots to lead our team
Speaker 1: and field gold attempts. But I say that as a
Speaker 1: complete positive. I felt when he was shooting the ball,
Speaker 1: they kept going under middle pick and rolls. He shot
Speaker 1: it to mean it. He didn't look afraid of anything.
Speaker 1: And he missed the shots, but they looked good. And
Speaker 1: I think in general, you know, you know, we played
Speaker 1: him quite a bit of minutes. He end up taking
Speaker 1: the most shots out of anybody on the team. I
Speaker 1: thought his defense was very good. I think it's a
Speaker 1: it's a big night for that young man. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is Philadelphia, This is Philadelphia, and I say that.
Speaker 1: I say that with appreciation, like it's just they They
Speaker 1: are a educated crowd. They are passionate. You know, they
Speaker 1: get behind people and they can go at people. And
Speaker 1: I think them supporting Markel and you know, getting behind him.
Speaker 1: We need them. We appreciate them supporting him. And you know,
Speaker 1: I thought all in all sort of culminated with his
Speaker 1: three point shot. It was a big night for him.
Speaker 1: Talk about that effort by the Philly Faithful, turning the
Speaker 1: narrative about sports fans in this town completely around. It
Speaker 1: really was awesome just hearing the full throwd support shown
Speaker 1: towards markul Foults throughout the night, every touch, every shot,
Speaker 1: and especially after every make. A little bit of Brett Brown.
Speaker 1: Maybe Divine Givens all play some more of that later on,
Speaker 1: who knows. I'm just going to drive home and listen
Speaker 1: to Divine. I'm gonna stop talking right now in just
Speaker 1: a second and hand it over to Divine. Seventy six
Speaker 1: Ers beat the Bulls one twenty seven one to wait
Speaker 1: real quickly. Sixers numbers one final time Dwelling beat thirty points,
Speaker 1: twelve rebounds, four block shots. Ben Simmons thirteen, thirteen and eleven.
Speaker 1: Covington had twenty points, five boards, two steals in a
Speaker 1: block Ben Simmons, as we said, leading the way, Markel
Speaker 1: Folts with twelve, four and five and just a whole
Speaker 1: lot of support shown in his direction to Mere Johnson
Speaker 1: leading a quality bench effort with thirteen, JJ Reddick with ten,

Speaker 1: one points. They were red hot, but you guys were
Speaker 1: able to gather yourself defensively and turn things around in
Speaker 1: the second quarter. Your thoughts on the game, how it flowed,
Speaker 1: I would ended up in general? Oh man, it was.
Speaker 1: It was going back and forth. You know, they were
Speaker 1: making tough shots and second half, I mean second quarter,
Speaker 1: we started locked down a little bit more on defense
Speaker 1: and we just tried to make sure we got stops.
Speaker 1: And then we started doing that and I auto started
Speaker 1: to click. Then we end up pulling out with the one.
Speaker 1: Tuesday was tough, but tonight you got great performances from
Speaker 1: your stars and the beating Simmons. But Cub played well,
Speaker 1: You played well, Dario, JJ and Landry played well. You
