Speaker 1: Serious postgame show. If I can look about about broad
Speaker 1: Free Stars's gonna turn him. Get it off Matty Rolls
Speaker 1: the Sixers postgame show right now on ninety seven five
Speaker 1: the Fanetic the Wing eight stopping for the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: one O nine ninety seven over the Dallas Mavericks, the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers matching a franchise record with fourteen consecutive in
Speaker 1: season wins originally established by the nineteen eighty two eighty
Speaker 1: three title team, win number fifty on the years. Seriously,
Speaker 1: can you believe that? And no worse for the Sixers
Speaker 1: than the four seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Brian
Speaker 1: Seltzer with you from Sixers dot com. We believe we
Speaker 1: do have the seventy sixers head coach the winner today,
Speaker 1: Brett Brown, and I thought that tonight was probably a seed.
Speaker 1: You know, I give credit to Dallas. You know, Rick's
Speaker 1: done a great job of having those guys continue to
Speaker 1: play hard. I have a respect for Rick Carlisle in
Speaker 1: relation to you know, what we did. It was up
Speaker 1: and down, but it wasn't really that that special to
Speaker 1: me in relation to our performance. You guys officially clinch
Speaker 1: home court advantage and stuff about what that means for you.
Speaker 1: I mean, and so then you get to, well, you won,
Speaker 1: and look at what that room has done, and it's
Speaker 1: good stuff. You know. To win fifty games with two
Speaker 1: games remaining, to have what is it, fourteen hour in
Speaker 1: a row? Is that right? Fourteen in a row to
Speaker 1: secure a home court advantage, that is fantastic, And at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that that is what's most true.
Speaker 1: Our season two date has been exceptional. The group has
Speaker 1: been fantastic. We continue to improve um and I think,
Speaker 1: you know, those things are probably what I should be
Speaker 1: remembering the most one thing that's been the biggest key
Speaker 1: to our success as you reach on part advantage. I
Speaker 1: think that there is a toughness in our group. I
Speaker 1: think that there is a defensive purpose to our group.
Speaker 1: We're going to play fast. We hope we make our
Speaker 1: threes um. But I think that there is there's two things.
Speaker 1: I think that there is a defensive belief that nothing
Speaker 1: else matters unless we guard. And we have sung that song.
Speaker 1: I've tried to sing it since I've been here. We
Speaker 1: continue to sing it. I think that they hear it.
Speaker 1: I think they hear it loudly. The voices that I
Speaker 1: hear in locker rooms and on the bench confirm that
Speaker 1: it's it's it's deeper than just my voice. And I
Speaker 1: think that anytime you have a team that regularly bangs
Speaker 1: out thirty plus assists game, you know again, we had
Speaker 1: thirty what tonight thirty two tonight? You know that that
Speaker 1: in itself is a statement of of of sharing and caring.
Speaker 1: And we passed the ball. We really passed the ball.
Speaker 1: And if you can have that defensive disposition and if
Speaker 1: you can have an offensive identity that is self less,
Speaker 1: then you get a chance to move move along. I
Speaker 1: think in good ways about having to being comfortable with
Speaker 1: a ten man rotation before the games to day and
Speaker 1: then he didn't end up playing until the last holes
Speaker 1: of the game. What was the thought process behind that
Speaker 1: given Marquel more minutes? You know, I think when you
Speaker 1: hear my words that you just mentioned at the start,
Speaker 1: it was I I want to Jack. I think you
Speaker 1: asked it, you know, like, I want to test Marquel, folks,
Speaker 1: And if I give him more minutes, it's going to
Speaker 1: come at the expensive TJ. And it did, and you
Speaker 1: are right, like it did get into a deep where
Speaker 1: TJ came off the bench late, a little bit later
Speaker 1: than I had hoped, But the purpose was to test Marquel,
Speaker 1: give him more minutes, see what you want to Marquel,
Speaker 1: and that expended role in that little tiny sample size.
Speaker 1: It's always differ cult to make sort of concrete, you know, assessments.
Speaker 1: I thought markl was okay tonight. You know, he was
Speaker 1: okay tonight. But we got two games left, and you know,
Speaker 1: you want to make sure you feel good about what
Speaker 1: you want to get done in a playoff rotation type situation.
Speaker 1: That remains still a little bit of a mystery to us,
Speaker 1: and as it should. You know, he hasn't played, as
Speaker 1: we all know, much NBA basketball, and so tonight here
Speaker 1: at home, playing against Dallas, we felt like if we
Speaker 1: just played defense, we were going to be in good shape.
Speaker 1: I decided to rotate the team for those reasons. Brett
Speaker 1: Brown is the head coach who sets the tone. Obviously,
Speaker 1: no let up from him whatsoever. Seventy sixers of the
Speaker 1: Mavericks one or nine ninety seven. Was it the sixers
Speaker 1: best game in terms of winning efforts on the season.
Speaker 1: Maybe not, but this is really what matters the most.
Speaker 1: The seventy sixers had a chance to make some history today.
Speaker 1: They did that. This game, coming off Friday's high energy,
Speaker 1: high emotion matchup at home with the Cleveland Cavaliers, it
Speaker 1: had some elements of the proverbial trap a team against
Speaker 1: Dallas that had nothing to play for matinee day game
Speaker 1: at home, and the game got off to a little
Speaker 1: bit of a ragged start for the Sixers. Credit every
Speaker 1: time that Dallas threatened, they came up with an answer.
Speaker 1: Urson Eliasova with some really big contributions between the end
Speaker 1: of the third and start of the fourth quarter to
Speaker 1: spark a fifteen to two run that put the Sixers
Speaker 1: back in the driver's seat. As has been the case
Speaker 1: of the course of this stretch for the Sixers, fourteen
Speaker 1: wins in a row, a really well balanced box score
Speaker 1: with contributions coming from all over the place. JJ Redick
Speaker 1: a team high point total once again with eighteen. Robert
Speaker 1: Covington with fifteen points, ten rebounds plus twenty three. For Covington,
Speaker 1: he had a couple of block shots, two steals, and
Speaker 1: a slew of deflections. Dario Charch very well rounded day
Speaker 1: for him. Ben Simmons versatile, flirting with another triple double,
Speaker 1: sixteen seven and nine, plus a block shot and four steals.
Speaker 1: Bell and Ellie and Iliasova big off the bench in
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers and efficient afternoon pushed past the Mavericks
Speaker 1: by twelve one o nine to ninety seven. And once again,
Speaker 1: the milestones are these fourteen consecutive wins, tying a franchise
Speaker 1: record from nineteen eighty two eighty three, fifty wins for
Speaker 1: just a third time since the nineteen eighty six eighty
Speaker 1: seven season, and no worse than the four seed in
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference playoffs. Of course, if the Sixers went out,
Speaker 1: they will have the third seed. Wow. Just thinking where
Speaker 1: we were we can say two years ago, but even
Speaker 1: last year pretty amazing. We'll talk about it more with
Speaker 1: Tom McGinnis on the other side. It's the postgame show

Speaker 1: with you from Sixers dot com. The final score one nine,
Speaker 1: having seventy six Ers are winners for the fiftieth time
Speaker 1: this season, incredible fourteen consecutive game winning streak, matching a
Speaker 1: franchise record, and on top of that, definitely home court
Speaker 1: for the first round. They could be as high as
Speaker 1: third in the East when it's all said and done,
Speaker 1: but again no worse than fourth, and all this time
Speaker 1: McGuinness without Joel Embiad as we discussed in the beginning,
Speaker 1: and there's just so many different ways you can approach
Speaker 1: all the accomplishments the seventy sixers have made. What stands
Speaker 1: out to you, well, without doubt, those are all very impressive.
Speaker 1: Fourteen straight fifty wins, winning what is now seven or
Speaker 1: eight without Joel, It's all good. And yet, as coach
Speaker 1: Brown you know, kind of alluded to in that press conference,
Speaker 1: he wasn't happy with the way they played the day
Speaker 1: and a C grade was about right, and yet they
Speaker 1: still won by twelve, So that right there is very impressive.
Speaker 1: They had just enough phases with Simmons and Reddick and
Speaker 1: Covington and Ersan ev Yosova and Marco all playing well.
Speaker 1: I thought Rashaun and the Mirror did a good job
Speaker 1: in combining to play that five spot. But the numbers overall,
Speaker 1: when you step back, I mean, you just have to
Speaker 1: really appreciate what the Sixers have done this year and
Speaker 1: how far they've come to where they're very effective. There
Speaker 1: are certain things you expect, and that is the thirty assists.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're going to get thirty assists every game,
Speaker 1: but the sharing of the basketball, the defense, the pace.
Speaker 1: That's what Brett Brown although those tenants, all those foundational blocks,
Speaker 1: are what he came here to do in terms of
Speaker 1: a style and a system, and they've done that basketball.
Speaker 1: Why so to be twenty games over five hundred, to
Speaker 1: be playing your best basketball at the end of the
Speaker 1: season as you enter into the playoffs and you expect
Speaker 1: to get at some point your best player, You're big
Speaker 1: man back in Joel and Bid. It's all good sixers
Speaker 1: over the Mavericks one nine ninety seven. Let's talking about
Speaker 1: Arson Elio Silva. We've had a couple instances to highlight
Speaker 1: how vital these midseason editions have been. Marco Belinelli had
Speaker 1: some great moments as recently as Friday against the Cavaliers.
Speaker 1: But today late third quarters, started the fourth no absolutely,
Speaker 1: and it was kind of quirky how he ended up
Speaker 1: with the ball. I thought Dario I believe had his
Speaker 1: shot blocked and the other Sva all of a sudden
Speaker 1: got it in the corner and was wide open. So
Speaker 1: for what looked like a possession that was going to
Speaker 1: go awry, ended up with a corner three that Urson
Speaker 1: hit and then the next trip down the floor, same thing.
Speaker 1: Whereas it looked like the Sixers were gonna come away empty,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, low left right by the glass,
Speaker 1: he gets it and banks it in. He get five
Speaker 1: in a row and kind of cobbled together that stretch
Speaker 1: where the Sixers were on shaky ground a little bit
Speaker 1: where Dallas had cut it down to a workable deficit,
Speaker 1: and yet the Sixers were able to prevail. And Ben
Speaker 1: I thought Ben Simmons was good throughout and really dominant
Speaker 1: at times. JJ continues to score and it wasn't his
Speaker 1: best game, and yet he still ended up in the game,
Speaker 1: I believe eighteen points. So again, like even when you
Speaker 1: have an off game, and let's face it, hard to
Speaker 1: summon the energy and the excitement and the competitiveness that
Speaker 1: they had on Friday night when they're taking on the
Speaker 1: best player in the game and everything that was involved
Speaker 1: in that Cleveland game, and you had to come back
Speaker 1: and still squeeze out a win. That says a lot
Speaker 1: for the Sixers as well. Sixers by twelve over the
Speaker 1: Mavericks one oh nine to in ninety seven and a
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon in Mattinee and the Atlanta Hawks are up next,
Speaker 1: then the Milwaukee Bucks and as Brett said in the
Speaker 1: postgame press conference, there's a real chance to wrap this
Speaker 1: up with a pretty spectacular effort for the home crowd
Speaker 1: on Wednesday night. You've got a team in Atlanta that's
Speaker 1: had some moments, but it's pretty much down and out
Speaker 1: of it. Another playoff team in Milwaukee on Wednesday. Well,
Speaker 1: Atlanta beat Boston today, and as he mentioned, Atlanta beat Washington,
Speaker 1: So you can't in any way take them lightly, even
Speaker 1: though you went down there and founded him pretty good
Speaker 1: just a week ago. You got to go down there,
Speaker 1: as he said, with through appropriate fear. And then the
Speaker 1: Sixers any game with the honest Ada Coompo, a guy
Speaker 1: of that talent and caliber. You know, you don't want
Speaker 1: to go into the playoffs with a bit of a hiccup,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You want to finish it
Speaker 1: out strong and two games left, and you know, I
Speaker 1: think the Sixers have the right amount of the mindset.
Speaker 1: They've proven that. And then the veterans I think are
Speaker 1: gonna help push this thing forward in terms of them
Speaker 1: getting ready for those last two games. And throughout all
Speaker 1: of this, the Sixers have played one less game, So
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because they went to London
Speaker 1: and they played only that one Thursday game during the
Speaker 1: course of that week. But now they're obviously going to
Speaker 1: catch up and play the eighty two. And they're one
Speaker 1: of the only teams that I know of that finished
Speaker 1: with a back to back. Like all these other teams,
Speaker 1: they only have two games left and this was coming
Speaker 1: into this weekend, the Knicks on and on Indiana and
Speaker 1: the Sixers. You know, that's not an easy back to
Speaker 1: back to come back here and play, but those are
Speaker 1: There's two big games, that's for sure, and then not
Speaker 1: a lot of rest, you know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: would think they beat after a long season, be off
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and then you find out on Thursday what
Speaker 1: your playoff schedule can be. And you know the playoffs
Speaker 1: sometimes that first round is drawn out a little bit,
Speaker 1: and today, I mean, at this time that would behoove
Speaker 1: the Sixers. And the longer between games one and two
Speaker 1: can really helped the Sixers in terms of Ebid's availability.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are times when it's Sunday Wednesday and
Speaker 1: we'll have to see how that falls out. But and
Speaker 1: it's all generated and garnered around or centered around, shall
Speaker 1: I say, the TV schedule and understandably so, but that
Speaker 1: I think will be a big thing for the Sixers
Speaker 1: and could affect the availability of and B. But all
Speaker 1: good here today the last thing to put a ball
Speaker 1: on this. I'm not sure how it is for you,
Speaker 1: but for me, it's hard to not think about all
Speaker 1: of this. And the first person who comes to mind
Speaker 1: is Brett Brown and our good buds at Sixers Digital
Speaker 1: there postgame win graphic was a fifty dollar bill and
Speaker 1: instead of Ulysten's grant in the middle of it, there
Speaker 1: was Brett Brown's face. I mean, he's gone through a
Speaker 1: lot different players, different management, but his vision and message
Speaker 1: has been pretty constant and he's known every button push. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about this a lot, but this is a
Speaker 1: pretty symbolic accomplishment for his role. Absolutely, And one thing
Speaker 1: that I've learned about coach Brown is he has always
Speaker 1: you know, he's been saying his mantra over these last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks during this winning streak, we want more, Well,
Speaker 1: he seeks out more. He is kind. I remember we
Speaker 1: were here at the arena, you know, in the off season,
Speaker 1: like three or four years ago, and it was a
Speaker 1: season ticket old thing, and he and I sat out
Speaker 1: at center court and had like a Q and A
Speaker 1: and I forget when you know, some benign question by
Speaker 1: me about you know, well, it's been an interesting off season,
Speaker 1: and then he goes into this whole answer about trying
Speaker 1: to learn how young people learn. I mean that was
Speaker 1: like then he got involved with Mark Beginnis the Navy
Speaker 1: Seal in terms of learning strategies from people like that
Speaker 1: and from groups like the Navy Seals and that whole education.
Speaker 1: So he's always pursuing, like he was explaining today Pregame,
Speaker 1: about the research and the athletics staff, about the analytics,
Speaker 1: about what groups play together, how rotations are. So they
Speaker 1: are constantly going over things that you don't necessarily see
Speaker 1: during the course of a game. But how to manage
Speaker 1: his basketball team, lead this franchise. He's constantly seeking for more.
Speaker 1: He's he's really the hardest worker in the building. He's
Speaker 1: just incredible, and so all of those things continue to
Speaker 1: push and you know what he did in the early
Speaker 1: years keeping this group together when the Sixers would get
Speaker 1: beaten handily, and yet he'd come right back with that spirit,
Speaker 1: that pipe piper like persona that he has where people
Speaker 1: follow him and the way he built the relationships and
Speaker 1: helped to develop these players, and now to bring the
Speaker 1: team to this stage and to be on the cusp
Speaker 1: of the playoffs and again kind of going with this
Speaker 1: team of looking for more and he says, hey, our
Speaker 1: timetable might be a little quicker than some of the others.
Speaker 1: And with the way this group is playing and with
Speaker 1: the confidence that they're building again expecting to get Juell
Speaker 1: and beat back. You know, look out Eastern Conference. And
Speaker 1: it's all led by by Brett Brown. He's done an
Speaker 1: amazing job. He's an amazing guy. He really is. He's
Speaker 1: a wonderful person and he happens to be a tremendous
Speaker 1: basketball coach as well. Well. Put by Tim Againnis, talk
Speaker 1: to you on tuesdaytime. Thank you, Brad. Seventy Sixers defeat

Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers. There could be a lot more basketball
Speaker 1: after this weekend, but for the here and now, an
Speaker 1: opportunity to make some history. Brian Seltza with you from
Speaker 1: Sixers dot com. Let us get to some of the
Speaker 1: highlight plays. This one started a little bit rugged on
Speaker 1: both sides of the court between the Sixers and the Mavericks,
Speaker 1: each team trying to find its way in an early
Speaker 1: matinee start. Markuel Folts off the bench, helping give the
Speaker 1: Sixers a spark. Dallas went up top, could not convert
Speaker 1: Here's Reddick on a transition faking to three inside to
Speaker 1: Mark el Foltz, haangs fires head scores, Marquel Holts hanging
Speaker 1: in the air, and at that point the Sixers finally
Speaker 1: started to get some separation from the Mavericks. J. J.
Speaker 1: Reddick aided that cause by scoring five straight points to
Speaker 1: close the first quarter. Sixers led after twelve twenty eight
Speaker 1: to twenty. Dallas charged right back cut the deficit to
Speaker 1: a deuce thirty six thirty four midway through the third quarter,
Speaker 1: and that's when the Sixers summoned up the first of
Speaker 1: a couple key runs in today's game. Six is by
Speaker 1: eight Simmons on the run, Ben Simmons picks it up,
Speaker 1: goes out the cub three ball in the year Comington
Speaker 1: shot is good. He's got five. Simmons with his fifth
Speaker 1: dish and the seventy Sixers with their largest lead in
Speaker 1: the afternoon forty five thirty four. And that would be
Speaker 1: in the midst of a spurt in which the Sixers
Speaker 1: scored fourteen in a row and went on a run
Speaker 1: of nineteen to two overall to open up a nineteen
Speaker 1: point lead in the latter stages of the first half.
Speaker 1: Some quality jams. Let's go to numero uno from Ben Simmons,
Speaker 1: Powell missed them both. Rennick with the ball to Simmons
Speaker 1: one fifty to go. Ben against mcdermoty gets a clear out,
Speaker 1: back him down, Betty, and why would he backham down?
Speaker 1: Where he get his duck out of Ben Simmons throws
Speaker 1: it down mc nur a little bit of a defensive
Speaker 1: liability ten for seven, and then the Croatian on a
Speaker 1: birthday afternoon getting involved. One oh five to go in
Speaker 1: the first half, Sixers ball half court. Simmons with it
Speaker 1: follow extended on the right side of left hand, droble
Speaker 1: to Dario Shars, row Oneman Dominic Jabson, Dario Sharks burst free.
Speaker 1: We'll break down in the coverage there by the MAVs.
Speaker 1: Simmons with his eighth assist Dario dunks it. Six Ers
Speaker 1: up sixty one to forty eight. At intermission. Onto the
Speaker 1: third we go and Dallas would start to get things
Speaker 1: going behind Harrison Barnes. They would claw all the way
