Speaker 1: This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back
Speaker 1: to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. Excellent
Speaker 1: effort by the seventy Sixers, they come up short in
Speaker 1: overtime one twelve, one oh six, losing at Memphis. My
Speaker 1: name's Brian Selter. Let's go now. I believe in progress.
Speaker 1: We have Brett Brown. Please. He wants to have that fight.
Speaker 1: He wants to get on the court. He's curious, he's prideful,
Speaker 1: and he's competitive. And I think that with his mobility,
Speaker 1: in his size and the fact that he can stretch
Speaker 1: a floor, I do think he's got a real chance
Speaker 1: to stick around, you know, to in the NBA and
Speaker 1: hopefully with us. And I think that fur coon, you know,
Speaker 1: he's not bashful. He comes in, he looks for shots,
Speaker 1: he hunts shots. I thought he did some good things.
Speaker 1: We're always challenging for defensively, but at you look at
Speaker 1: his sort of burst certificate and you see how young
Speaker 1: he really is. I thought he did some really good things,
Speaker 1: especially offensively as well. Long game last, obviously busy day
Speaker 1: to day. Do you think the day kind of sat
Speaker 1: in on the second half there. I didn't feel it.
Speaker 1: I didn't feel it. You'd think it would, you know, overtime, flight,
Speaker 1: overtime someone I didn't. I didn't feel it. Perhaps with
Speaker 1: maybe Joel's legs on some three point shots you could
Speaker 1: point to that, you know, you know, Landry had a
Speaker 1: down night shooting the ball. I thought, you know, still heavyweights,
Speaker 1: we have to care for the ball more than we
Speaker 1: did tonight with Joe and Ben. Perhaps that crept into
Speaker 1: some of that, but in general, I thought the energy
Speaker 1: in this spirit was excellent. Any concern about Joel having
Speaker 1: to play so many minutes and back and back nights
Speaker 1: there is for me. You know, I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I don't like it, and you get so as the
Speaker 1: overtime's happening, you're always wondering, like, can you just go
Speaker 1: steal like a minute? And it seems always in the
Speaker 1: light of day, Why is it going to make that
Speaker 1: much of a different send? My heart and gut says no.
Speaker 1: And so I wished I didn't play him that that
Speaker 1: many minutes. But had it knock gone to overtime, you know,
Speaker 1: you would have looked at the score sheet and we
Speaker 1: all would have felt responsible with how we played him.
Speaker 1: But that's not how it played out. He mentioned his
Speaker 1: legs and some of those three pointers. Other than that,
Speaker 1: did he look tired to you out there? Not entirely.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think our strength and condition people fantastic
Speaker 1: with the fitness space they've created. I think a guys
Speaker 1: are incredibly prideful on taking care of the bodies. You know,
Speaker 1: we understand. I think we had six games and nine night.
Speaker 1: We're in some type of you know, heavy, type of
Speaker 1: dense period on our own schedule, and so we've gone
Speaker 1: overboard with how we're trying to you know, protect him
Speaker 1: and play him, and what we're doing off days and
Speaker 1: study film studies instead of like grinding them down. And
Speaker 1: I didn't feel it, like I didn't feel the guys
Speaker 1: really showing a fatigue level that that you might expect.
Speaker 1: And I say that as a compliment to them and
Speaker 1: to our strength and condition stuff. Seventy Sixers fall at
Speaker 1: FedEx Forum in Memphis by the final score of one
Speaker 1: twelve to one oh six in overtime, first time the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers playing consecutive overtime games in consecutive nights since
Speaker 1: the final two dates of the nineteen ninety eight ninety
Speaker 1: nine season. Head coach might not be willing to go
Speaker 1: entirely in this direction. The postgame radio dude will I
Speaker 1: thought the effort was great and there might have been
Speaker 1: some fatigue. I mean, you just think of natural conditions
Speaker 1: and circumstances. How could the Sixers not have been exhausted
Speaker 1: after what they went through last night? Overtime game one
Speaker 1: point went against the Charlotte Hornets. Didn't get to the
Speaker 1: hotel Memphis until probably around four am Eastern time earlier
Speaker 1: this morning. After a long overnight flight. You get out
Speaker 1: there shorthanded. Only nine players available in total for the
Speaker 1: Sixers this evening, and they threw everything they could of
Speaker 1: Memphis Grizzlies. They did control the lead for most of
Speaker 1: the games, in front by as many as six ten points.
Speaker 1: They led by six going into the fourth quarter. There
Speaker 1: were a couple spots where the Sixers seemed to be
Speaker 1: in decent shape. They had a little bit of a
Speaker 1: burst to go up by two and then by three
Speaker 1: with under two minutes to go, fueled by t J McConnell.
Speaker 1: He was awesome tonight, but Memphis at the start of
Speaker 1: overtime got going quick. The Sixers could not recover. They
Speaker 1: hit just two of eight shots and overtime. They committed
Speaker 1: two turnovers, missed all six of the three pointers, and
Speaker 1: Memphis was able to take this one going away in overtime.
Speaker 1: Mike Connolly outstanding for the Grizzlies, hit fifty percent of
Speaker 1: his twenty four shots for thirty two points, and all
Speaker 1: Sixers got a twenty point game from JJ Reddick, Joel
Speaker 1: Embiide fourteen points, sixteen rebounds, four of fifteen from the field.
Speaker 1: I thought Mark el Foltz had a really nice night
Speaker 1: fourteen points, seven to nine, a downhill attacker Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: with eighteen points, fourteen rebounds and five assists for con
Speaker 1: Korkmas off the bench with a dozen bucked TJ McConnell.
Speaker 1: He really was one of the standouts. Sixteen points, seven
Speaker 1: of eight from the field and one point, factoring in
Speaker 1: ten consecutive points scored by the Sixers at the end
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter in two overtime. So at the
Speaker 1: loss the Sixers, they're now eight and six. Their road
Speaker 1: trip is at an on one point obviously on to
Speaker 1: Miami Monday and then Orlando on Wednesday with touch based
Speaker 1: with Tom Aguinnis coming up next. It's the postgame show

Speaker 1: this one a loss one twelve one oh six in Memphis,
Speaker 1: only nine players available and the Sixers through everything they
Speaker 1: could at the Grizzlies Memphis. A little bit more well rested,
Speaker 1: a little bit more punch in crunch time. We'll get
Speaker 1: to the details in a moment. But first day, top
Speaker 1: of the hour station ID here on these Sixers Rader Network,
Speaker 1: the only place to hear Mike Missinelli every week day
Speaker 1: from Tula Say seventy seven five the Fanatic wupe n Burlington,
Speaker 1: Philadelphia broadcasting from the Exfinity Study Only from Comcast and
Speaker 1: Brian Selzer. Tom McGinnis called this one in FedEx Form Tom,
Speaker 1: great fight by the group tonight, but the turnovers certainly
Speaker 1: did catch up with them down the stretch, in particular
Speaker 1: twenty three and all it led to twenty five Memphis points,
Speaker 1: and Memphis stepped up and made some plays that coupled
Speaker 1: with the offensive rebounds. They ended up with fifteen offensive
Speaker 1: rebounds seventeen points out of that. Those are effort plays
Speaker 1: as well. Gasol is so adept at at oftentimes he's
Speaker 1: tapping the ball out to guys on the perimeter to
Speaker 1: reset their offense, and they were able to score out
Speaker 1: of that. Temple got that three point field goal on
Speaker 1: a similar type of play that gave them the lead.
Speaker 1: And like you say, overcoming all that, the big number
Speaker 1: of turnovers was just too much. So yeah, there there
Speaker 1: definitely was some fatigue. The Sixers showed the fight and
Speaker 1: the spirit, it was incredible, but I think down the
Speaker 1: stretch some of these things cost the Sixers. And you know,
Speaker 1: Mike Conley was really good and so was Garrett Temple
Speaker 1: from the perimeter, and nice win for them. They hold
Speaker 1: their serve, if you will, in terms of them being
Speaker 1: undefeated Memphis here at home. T J. McConnell, Tom, I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess at this point it really shouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1: Thrust into expanded duty tonight with thirty four and a
Speaker 1: half minutes played, sixteen points, seven of eight from the field,
Speaker 1: seven assists. He was terrific and was exactly what the
Speaker 1: Sixers needed when they needed everyone that they had tonight, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not surprised by how he delivers, but
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing that he does. I mean, I mean
Speaker 1: he's going dribbling right at Marcus Saul and scoring on
Speaker 1: a seven foot center. He's been the defensive player there,
Speaker 1: and then the next time you're like, whoa, he's going
Speaker 1: for the elbow jumper, but no, it's a pass to
Speaker 1: a wide opening bead for a slam. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: just a very efficient player, knows how to get to
Speaker 1: the basket despite being sometimes overmatched. And it's a boy.
Speaker 1: You talk about the grit and the grind here in
Speaker 1: Memphis that defines TJ's game, and he's been a winning
Speaker 1: player for the Sixers, and he delivered big time here tonight,
Speaker 1: and you got performances from cork Mas and Bolden. Obviously
Speaker 1: Landry struggled here tonight. JJ started he was good. They
Speaker 1: were all over Ruddick, particularly, he started the game five
Speaker 1: for five, and they were just literally running him off
Speaker 1: the line with not one, but oftentimes two defenders. He
Speaker 1: just could not get any open space. So credit to
Speaker 1: them making an adjustment and really guarding him tightly. In
Speaker 1: terms of the way Memphis guarded I thought Marquel played
Speaker 1: well early the Sixers. You know, they built up a
Speaker 1: thirteen point lead, and you know, again you just know
Speaker 1: the an opposing team, particularly at home, one that's as
Speaker 1: good as Memphis on this floor, is going to make
Speaker 1: a run. But when you're up six or eight, even
Speaker 1: though there's seven or eight minutes in the game, which
Speaker 1: is exactly the case that occurred here again to night,
Speaker 1: those are big possessions, you know. Then it doesn't come
Speaker 1: down to a Garrick Temple three to give them a
Speaker 1: lead or to tie it. It's to pull them the
Speaker 1: back within five or something like that. Those possessions are
Speaker 1: like insurance type possessions. They give you a pad and
Speaker 1: then off a pad on the scoreboard so that the
Speaker 1: game doesn't come down to the final possession or two.
Speaker 1: And so those are always big. And that was an
Speaker 1: area where Memphis, you know, they'd get a stop and
Speaker 1: then they'd come down and score, and next thing you know,
Speaker 1: it's a four point game as opposed to possibly a
Speaker 1: double digit lead. And like that, those swings happen all
Speaker 1: the time. But when the Sixers lose these big leads,
Speaker 1: they're they're readily detectable. Seventy six Ers three game road
Speaker 1: trip now moves to Florida Miami, the scene of last
Speaker 1: year's first round playoff series, with the Sixers won two
Speaker 1: exciting games and the heat right now, Tom, they're five
Speaker 1: and six, But they're just a team that based on
Speaker 1: their head coach and the way they play, their culture,
Speaker 1: I guess as it were, you expect them to a
Speaker 1: certainly be a tough factor at home, but also to
Speaker 1: just be hanging around this Eastern Conference conversation as the
Speaker 1: year moves along. No doubt about it, Whiteside just had
Speaker 1: a monstrous game for them. And to your point about Spolstro,
Speaker 1: when you have a good coach and a culture and
Speaker 1: a work ethic that Miami has been known for years.
Speaker 1: They're going to get better as the season goes along,
Speaker 1: So no doubt that'll be a big game for them
Speaker 1: in terms of playing against the Sixers, and every single game,
Speaker 1: certainly against the East is big for the Sixers. Try
Speaker 1: to get as much rest as possible. Chance of Sixers
Speaker 1: will be undermanned for that game as well, But another
Speaker 1: key matchup going down there to Miami and then Orlando
Speaker 1: to finish out the trip. Already, time talk to you
Speaker 1: on Monday, all right, but thank you, Brian. Seventy six
Speaker 1: Ers fall at FedEx Forum one twelve on OH six

Speaker 1: Sixers coming off an overtime game last night, and wouldn't
Speaker 1: you know tonight they would be in for a marathon
Speaker 1: on affair as well. But even with nine guys available
Speaker 1: on the roster, it was the Sixers that came out
Speaker 1: and set a spirited tone. Here now is Reddick passing
Speaker 1: to Ben on a given go and a slam by
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. Oh, terrific play, and Simmons throws it down.
Speaker 1: He's got sixty's three for three May today twelve to
Speaker 1: eight game in favor of the Sixers. They were up
Speaker 1: twenty six to twenty one after twelve minutes of action
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. JJ Reddick was on his way
Speaker 1: from a perfect start. JK with it. Reddick long three
Speaker 1: and good Garrett Temple right there. But Reddick knocks down
Speaker 1: a triple and the Sixers now with five threes, leading
Speaker 1: by thirteen, and that becomes now their largest lead of
Speaker 1: the game. The score was fifty two thirty seven. It
Speaker 1: was a sixty three to fifty game in favor of
Speaker 1: the Sixers at the break. In the third quarter, things
Speaker 1: began to change a little bit. Mike Connolly started to
Speaker 1: step up his scoring. Memphis took a one point lead
Speaker 1: seventy two seventy one. With five and a half minutes
Speaker 1: to go in the third frame, the Sixers answered with
Speaker 1: a strong spurt. T J. Mcconaugh and the ball six.
Speaker 1: He's going right up with one twenty to a going
Speaker 1: the third, he hits a trailing carkbas three ball fur
Speaker 1: con carkbas, It's good from Turkey Town. He knocked it
Speaker 1: down six to seventy, eight to seventy two. Mcconnabal another dish,
Speaker 1: his fifth, and the Sixers closed the third quarter on
Speaker 1: a nine to two run. They were up eighty to
Speaker 1: seventy four. In the fourth, Memphis kept coming, Memphis going
Speaker 1: in front ninety one to ninety With about six minutes left.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons led the response, be able to stay in
Speaker 1: now at twelve to shoot, Simmons pick bike assault into
Speaker 1: the lane, drives a right hand lamp goods Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: cruisers into the lane and scores it. Shifting directions left
Speaker 1: the right and a right hand layup is good. Ninety
Speaker 1: four ninety three six Ers. A couple of minutes later,
Speaker 1: it was Memphis in front, ninety eight to ninety six.
Speaker 1: Enter Timothy and John McConnell. Here's t J driving that
Speaker 1: bakes it underhead, Scoob, he's done it again. TJ McConnell
Speaker 1: driving the ball, Memphis caugh timeout. But where there's a will,
Speaker 1: there's a way. The fight the winner with him. He
Speaker 1: ties it and now gives us sixers. Elad part of
Speaker 1: back to back buckets for TJ and a stretch in
Speaker 1: which he factored in ten consecutive points for the Sixers.
Speaker 1: It was tied at one or two going to overtime
Speaker 1: after Garrett Temple hit elight three pointer, and in the
Speaker 1: extra period Memphis scored the first four points. T J
Speaker 1: McConnell trying to keep the Sixers alive, but Connell with
Speaker 1: a screen by Reddick. TJ bumped by Temple, drives it
Speaker 1: on him, hangs puts it up. Rimy good. T J
Speaker 1: McConnell with a layup. He's got sixteen and that makes
Speaker 1: it a two point game with two minutes to go.
Speaker 1: Memphis would end up fending off the seventy Sixers, hanging
Speaker 1: on to win as the Sixers losing overtime after winning
Speaker 1: overtime the night before. Some final stats Sixer shot fifty
Speaker 1: two percent from the field, Memphis forty three and a
Speaker 1: half percent, eleven three pointers for the Grizzlies, eight for
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers. Neither team got to the free throw
Speaker 1: line a ton. Sixers were plus three on the glass
Speaker 1: but minus seven in offensive rebounds. The Sixers twenty three
Speaker 1: turnovers that did not help it led to twenty five
Speaker 1: Memphis points. Scoring numbers and other such things. JJ Reddick
