<v Speaker 1>the Sixers postgame show right now on ninety seven five

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the Fanetic the Wing eight stopping for the seventy Sixers

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:21.079
<v Speaker 1>one O nine ninety seven over the Dallas Mavericks, the

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers matching a franchise record with fourteen consecutive in

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>season wins originally established by the nineteen eighty two eighty

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 1>three title team, win number fifty on the years. Seriously,

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.599
<v Speaker 1>can you believe that? And no worse for the Sixers

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>than the four seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Brian

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Seltzer with you from Sixers dot com. We believe we

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>do have the seventy sixers head coach the winner today,

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Brett Brown, and I thought that tonight was probably a seed.

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, I give credit to Dallas. You know, Rick's

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>done a great job of having those guys continue to

0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 1>play hard. I have a respect for Rick Carlisle in

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>relation to you know, what we did. It was up

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 1>and down, but it wasn't really that that special to

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 1>me in relation to our performance. You guys officially clinch

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>home court advantage and stuff about what that means for you.

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and so then you get to, well, you won,

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and look at what that room has done, and it's

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>good stuff. You know. To win fifty games with two

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>games remaining, to have what is it, fourteen hour in

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a row? Is that right? Fourteen in a row to

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>secure a home court advantage, that is fantastic, And at

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, that that is what's most true.

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Our season two date has been exceptional. The group has

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>been fantastic. We continue to improve um and I think,

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, those things are probably what I should be

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>remembering the most one thing that's been the biggest key

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>to our success as you reach on part advantage. I

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>think that there is a toughness in our group. I

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>think that there is a defensive purpose to our group.

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>We're going to play fast. We hope we make our

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 1>threes um. But I think that there is there's two things.

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that there is a defensive belief that nothing

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>else matters unless we guard. And we have sung that song.

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>I've tried to sing it since I've been here. We

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 1>continue to sing it. I think that they hear it.

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I think they hear it loudly. The voices that I

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>hear in locker rooms and on the bench confirm that

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's deeper than just my voice. And I

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 1>think that anytime you have a team that regularly bangs

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>out thirty plus assists game, you know again, we had

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty what tonight thirty two tonight? You know that that

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>in itself is a statement of of of sharing and caring.

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>And we passed the ball. We really passed the ball.

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>And if you can have that defensive disposition and if

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>you can have an offensive identity that is self less,

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>then you get a chance to move move along. I

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>think in good ways about having to being comfortable with

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>a ten man rotation before the games to day and

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>then he didn't end up playing until the last holes

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>of the game. What was the thought process behind that

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.799
<v Speaker 1>given Marquel more minutes? You know, I think when you

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.359
<v Speaker 1>hear my words that you just mentioned at the start,

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>it was I I want to Jack. I think you

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>asked it, you know, like, I want to test Marquel, folks,

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>And if I give him more minutes, it's going to

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>come at the expensive TJ. And it did, and you

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>are right, like it did get into a deep where

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>TJ came off the bench late, a little bit later

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>than I had hoped, But the purpose was to test Marquel,

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>give him more minutes, see what you want to Marquel,

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and that expended role in that little tiny sample size.

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 1>It's always differ cult to make sort of concrete, you know, assessments.

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought markl was okay tonight. You know, he was

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 1>okay tonight. But we got two games left, and you know,

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you want to make sure you feel good about what

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you want to get done in a playoff rotation type situation.

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>That remains still a little bit of a mystery to us,

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and as it should. You know, he hasn't played, as

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 1>we all know, much NBA basketball, and so tonight here

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 1>at home, playing against Dallas, we felt like if we

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 1>just played defense, we were going to be in good shape.

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I decided to rotate the team for those reasons. Brett

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Brown is the head coach who sets the tone. Obviously,

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>no let up from him whatsoever. Seventy sixers of the

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Mavericks one or nine ninety seven. Was it the sixers

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>best game in terms of winning efforts on the season.

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not, but this is really what matters the most.

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.839
<v Speaker 1>The seventy sixers had a chance to make some history today.

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.280
<v Speaker 1>They did that. This game, coming off Friday's high energy,

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 1>high emotion matchup at home with the Cleveland Cavaliers, it

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>had some elements of the proverbial trap a team against

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Dallas that had nothing to play for matinee day game

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 1>at home, and the game got off to a little

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>bit of a ragged start for the Sixers. Credit every

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 1>time that Dallas threatened, they came up with an answer.

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 1>Urson Eliasova with some really big contributions between the end

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.359
<v Speaker 1>of the third and start of the fourth quarter to

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>spark a fifteen to two run that put the Sixers

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>back in the driver's seat. As has been the case

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>of the course of this stretch for the Sixers, fourteen

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 1>wins in a row, a really well balanced box score

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>with contributions coming from all over the place. JJ Redick

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 1>a team high point total once again with eighteen. Robert

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Covington with fifteen points, ten rebounds plus twenty three. For Covington,

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.720
<v Speaker 1>he had a couple of block shots, two steals, and

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>a slew of deflections. Dario Charch very well rounded day

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>for him. Ben Simmons versatile, flirting with another triple double,

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>sixteen seven and nine, plus a block shot and four steals.

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Bell and Ellie and Iliasova big off the bench in

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers and efficient afternoon pushed past the Mavericks

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>by twelve one o nine to ninety seven. And once again,

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the milestones are these fourteen consecutive wins, tying a franchise

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>record from nineteen eighty two eighty three, fifty wins for

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>just a third time since the nineteen eighty six eighty

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>seven season, and no worse than the four seed in

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the Eastern Conference playoffs. Of course, if the Sixers went out,

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>they will have the third seed. Wow. Just thinking where

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>we were we can say two years ago, but even

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>last year pretty amazing. We'll talk about it more with

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>all the accomplishments the seventy sixers have made. What stands

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>out to you, well, without doubt, those are all very impressive.

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Fourteen straight fifty wins, winning what is now seven or

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.559
<v Speaker 1>eight without Joel, It's all good. And yet, as coach

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Brown you know, kind of alluded to in that press conference,

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.079
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't happy with the way they played the day

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and a C grade was about right, and yet they

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>still won by twelve, So that right there is very impressive.

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.599
<v Speaker 1>They had just enough phases with Simmons and Reddick and

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Covington and Ersan ev Yosova and Marco all playing well.

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I thought Rashaun and the Mirror did a good job

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 1>in combining to play that five spot. But the numbers overall,

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 1>when you step back, I mean, you just have to

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 1>really appreciate what the Sixers have done this year and

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 1>how far they've come to where they're very effective. There

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 1>are certain things you expect, and that is the thirty assists.

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:16.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying you're going to get thirty assists every game,

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>but the sharing of the basketball, the defense, the pace.

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>That's what Brett Brown although those tenants, all those foundational blocks,

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>are what he came here to do in terms of

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>a style and a system, and they've done that basketball.

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Why so to be twenty games over five hundred, to

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 1>be playing your best basketball at the end of the

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>season as you enter into the playoffs and you expect

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to get at some point your best player, You're big

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.079
<v Speaker 1>man back in Joel and Bid. It's all good sixers

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>over the Mavericks one nine ninety seven. Let's talking about

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Arson Elio Silva. We've had a couple instances to highlight

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 1>how vital these midseason editions have been. Marco Belinelli had

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.479
<v Speaker 1>some great moments as recently as Friday against the Cavaliers.

0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 1>But today late third quarters, started the fourth no absolutely,

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 1>and it was kind of quirky how he ended up

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.839
<v Speaker 1>with the ball. I thought Dario I believe had his

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.319
<v Speaker 1>shot blocked and the other Sva all of a sudden

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>got it in the corner and was wide open. So

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 1>for what looked like a possession that was going to

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>go awry, ended up with a corner three that Urson

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>hit and then the next trip down the floor, same thing.

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Whereas it looked like the Sixers were gonna come away empty,

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, low left right by the glass,

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>he gets it and banks it in. He get five

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>in a row and kind of cobbled together that stretch

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>where the Sixers were on shaky ground a little bit

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>where Dallas had cut it down to a workable deficit,

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and yet the Sixers were able to prevail. And Ben

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I thought Ben Simmons was good throughout and really dominant

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 1>at times. JJ continues to score and it wasn't his

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>best game, and yet he still ended up in the game,

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I believe eighteen points. So again, like even when you

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>have an off game, and let's face it, hard to

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>summon the energy and the excitement and the competitiveness that

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>they had on Friday night when they're taking on the

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>best player in the game and everything that was involved

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in that Cleveland game, and you had to come back

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and still squeeze out a win. That says a lot

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.199
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers as well. Sixers by twelve over the

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Mavericks one oh nine to in ninety seven and a

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Sunday afternoon in Mattinee and the Atlanta Hawks are up next,

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>then the Milwaukee Bucks and as Brett said in the

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 1>postgame press conference, there's a real chance to wrap this

0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>up with a pretty spectacular effort for the home crowd

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday night. You've got a team in Atlanta that's

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 1>had some moments, but it's pretty much down and out

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>of it. Another playoff team in Milwaukee on Wednesday. Well,

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta beat Boston today, and as he mentioned, Atlanta beat Washington,

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>So you can't in any way take them lightly, even

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>though you went down there and founded him pretty good

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>just a week ago. You got to go down there,

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>as he said, with through appropriate fear. And then the

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Sixers any game with the honest Ada Coompo, a guy

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>of that talent and caliber. You know, you don't want

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.679
<v Speaker 1>to go into the playoffs with a bit of a hiccup,

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. You want to finish it

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>out strong and two games left, and you know, I

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>think the Sixers have the right amount of the mindset.

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.439
<v Speaker 1>They've proven that. And then the veterans I think are

0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna help push this thing forward in terms of them

0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>getting ready for those last two games. And throughout all

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 1>of this, the Sixers have played one less game, So

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's because they went to London

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and they played only that one Thursday game during the

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.199
<v Speaker 1>course of that week. But now they're obviously going to

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>catch up and play the eighty two. And they're one

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>of the only teams that I know of that finished

0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>with a back to back. Like all these other teams,

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 1>they only have two games left and this was coming

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 1>into this weekend, the Knicks on and on Indiana and

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers. You know, that's not an easy back to

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 1>back to come back here and play, but those are

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 1>There's two big games, that's for sure, and then not

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:42.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of rest, you know what I mean. I

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>would think they beat after a long season, be off

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday, and then you find out on Thursday what

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.200
<v Speaker 1>your playoff schedule can be. And you know the playoffs

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>sometimes that first round is drawn out a little bit,

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and today, I mean, at this time that would behoove

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers. And the longer between games one and two

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>can really helped the Sixers in terms of Ebid's availability.

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there are times when it's Sunday Wednesday and

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll have to see how that falls out. But and

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>it's all generated and garnered around or centered around, shall

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I say, the TV schedule and understandably so, but that

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I think will be a big thing for the Sixers

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and could affect the availability of and B. But all

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 1>good here today the last thing to put a ball

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 1>on this. I'm not sure how it is for you,

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 1>but for me, it's hard to not think about all

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of this. And the first person who comes to mind

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 1>is Brett Brown and our good buds at Sixers Digital

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>there postgame win graphic was a fifty dollar bill and

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 1>instead of Ulysten's grant in the middle of it, there

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 1>was Brett Brown's face. I mean, he's gone through a

0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 1>lot different players, different management, but his vision and message

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>has been pretty constant and he's known every button push. Well,

0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about this a lot, but this is a

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 1>pretty symbolic accomplishment for his role. Absolutely, And one thing

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 1>that I've learned about coach Brown is he has always

0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's been saying his mantra over these last

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks during this winning streak, we want more, Well,

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 1>he seeks out more. He is kind. I remember we

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 1>were here at the arena, you know, in the off season,

0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>like three or four years ago, and it was a

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 1>season ticket old thing, and he and I sat out

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>at center court and had like a Q and A

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and I forget when you know, some benign question by

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 1>me about you know, well, it's been an interesting off season,

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and then he goes into this whole answer about trying

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 1>to learn how young people learn. I mean that was

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 1>like then he got involved with Mark Beginnis the Navy

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Seal in terms of learning strategies from people like that

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and from groups like the Navy Seals and that whole education.

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>So he's always pursuing, like he was explaining today Pregame,

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 1>about the research and the athletics staff, about the analytics,

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 1>about what groups play together, how rotations are. So they

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 1>are constantly going over things that you don't necessarily see

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>during the course of a game. But how to manage

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 1>his basketball team, lead this franchise. He's constantly seeking for more.

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 1>He's he's really the hardest worker in the building. He's

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>just incredible, and so all of those things continue to

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>push and you know what he did in the early

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 1>years keeping this group together when the Sixers would get

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 1>beaten handily, and yet he'd come right back with that spirit,

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that pipe piper like persona that he has where people

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 1>follow him and the way he built the relationships and

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 1>helped to develop these players, and now to bring the

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 1>team to this stage and to be on the cusp

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>of the playoffs and again kind of going with this

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 1>team of looking for more and he says, hey, our

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.520
<v Speaker 1>timetable might be a little quicker than some of the others.

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 1>And with the way this group is playing and with

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the confidence that they're building again expecting to get Juell

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and beat back. You know, look out Eastern Conference. And

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 1>it's all led by by Brett Brown. He's done an

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>amazing job. He's an amazing guy. He really is. He's

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful person and he happens to be a tremendous

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 1>basketball coach as well. Well. Put by Tim Againnis, talk

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>to you on tuesdaytime. Thank you, Brad. Seventy Sixers defeat

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the Dallas Mavericks one, nine ninety seven. They have won

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 1>fifty games in a season for the first time since

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and two thousand and one. Many Sixers fans

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>know what went down that year. A late run into

0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 1>June of the NBA Finals fourteen game winning streak matches

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 1>another team's accomplishments that went to the final round of

<v Speaker 1>the NBA postseason, the nineteen eighty two eighty three championship

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 1>team and for the Sixers, just terrific. Things continue to

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.240

<v Speaker 1>of the Philadelphia seventy Sixers Sixers Dallas Mavericks, closing out

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the final weekend of play in the regular season for

0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.119
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers. There could be a lot more basketball

0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:26.119
<v Speaker 1>after this weekend, but for the here and now, an

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:29.439
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to make some history. Brian Seltza with you from

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Sixers dot com. Let us get to some of the

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 1>highlight plays. This one started a little bit rugged on

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 1>both sides of the court between the Sixers and the Mavericks,

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 1>each team trying to find its way in an early

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.919
<v Speaker 1>matinee start. Markuel Folts off the bench, helping give the

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Sixers a spark. Dallas went up top, could not convert

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Here's Reddick on a transition faking to three inside to

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Mark el Foltz, haangs fires head scores, Marquel Holts hanging

0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:57.680
<v Speaker 1>in the air, and at that point the Sixers finally

0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:00.119
<v Speaker 1>started to get some separation from the Mavericks. J. J.

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Reddick aided that cause by scoring five straight points to

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 1>close the first quarter. Sixers led after twelve twenty eight

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 1>to twenty. Dallas charged right back cut the deficit to

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 1>a deuce thirty six thirty four midway through the third quarter,

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.600
<v Speaker 1>and that's when the Sixers summoned up the first of

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple key runs in today's game. Six is by

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 1>eight Simmons on the run, Ben Simmons picks it up,

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.360
<v Speaker 1>goes out the cub three ball in the year Comington

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.280
<v Speaker 1>shot is good. He's got five. Simmons with his fifth

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:29.359
<v Speaker 1>dish and the seventy Sixers with their largest lead in

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the afternoon forty five thirty four. And that would be

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:35.120
<v Speaker 1>in the midst of a spurt in which the Sixers

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:37.880
<v Speaker 1>scored fourteen in a row and went on a run

0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 1>of nineteen to two overall to open up a nineteen

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 1>point lead in the latter stages of the first half.

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Some quality jams. Let's go to numero uno from Ben Simmons,

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Powell missed them both. Rennick with the ball to Simmons

0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>one fifty to go. Ben against mcdermoty gets a clear out,

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:56.000
<v Speaker 1>back him down, Betty, and why would he backham down?

0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Where he get his duck out of Ben Simmons throws

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:01.399
<v Speaker 1>it down mc nur a little bit of a defensive

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 1>liability ten for seven, and then the Croatian on a

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 1>birthday afternoon getting involved. One oh five to go in

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:13.119
<v Speaker 1>the first half, Sixers ball half court. Simmons with it

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:15.160
<v Speaker 1>follow extended on the right side of left hand, droble

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 1>to Dario Shars, row Oneman Dominic Jabson, Dario Sharks burst free.

0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:21.640
<v Speaker 1>We'll break down in the coverage there by the MAVs.

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:25.879
<v Speaker 1>Simmons with his eighth assist Dario dunks it. Six Ers

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 1>up sixty one to forty eight. At intermission. Onto the

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:32.359
<v Speaker 1>third we go and Dallas would start to get things

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:35.239
<v Speaker 1>going behind Harrison Barnes. They would claw all the way

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 1>to within four points, but the Sixers turned to a

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:43.280
<v Speaker 1>very professional individual to get momentum back Don Low Rashawn,

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:45.520
<v Speaker 1>two guys converge. He throws it away. Well, it goes

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:48.320
<v Speaker 1>batting out to Arson Ilio Sober for three and in

0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:52.919
<v Speaker 1>and I probable lucky bounce at iliosba knock it in.

0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Sixers got a key stop. Arson scored once again on

0:24:56.800 --> 0:24:59.200
<v Speaker 1>a two six ers light at eighty five seventy six

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:01.720
<v Speaker 1>onto the fourth. That was part of a fifteen to

0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 1>two run in which the Sixers regained control the game.

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Iliosiva factoring in seven of the first nine points of

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that tear, and then Ben Simmons showing some of that strength.

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:14.679
<v Speaker 1>He really was able to have his way against the Mavericks.

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:17.760
<v Speaker 1>They're half the afternoon shot clock at six. Here's Reddick

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:20.160
<v Speaker 1>in the lane. Reddick again with Powell trying to dribble

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.640
<v Speaker 1>away from him, and he passes to Covington. He scoops

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 1>it up off the bouts and almost baked in the three.

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Simmons gathers it in and dumps it. The player of

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the day for the Sixers seventy sixers and the Mavericks.

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.119
<v Speaker 1>It was competitive. Dallas got close a couple of times,

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:38.560
<v Speaker 1>but every time the man's threatened was the Sixers there

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 1>to regain control on the way to win number fifty.

0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:44.440
<v Speaker 1>On the year. The Sixers shot fifty and a half

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:46.960
<v Speaker 1>percent from the field, of Mavericks forty two and a

0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 1>half percent six Ers eight of twenty seven from outside

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the arc. Dallas eleven of forty. Neither team did much

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.560
<v Speaker 1>from the free throw line. The Sixers were plus nine

0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:58.879
