Speaker 1: This is seventy Sixers rewind time now to listen back
Speaker 1: to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game, Target
Speaker 1: Practice total domination a blowout timely you could say, welcomed
Speaker 1: needed win by the seventy six Ers tonight one forty
Speaker 1: nine one o seven the final versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wow.
Speaker 1: Brian Seltzer with you from Sixers dot com. Let us
Speaker 1: first address some of the historical footnotes in tonight's game,
Speaker 1: Just to very quickly recap most points in a game
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety when the six Ers scored one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty nine against the Denver Nuggets, ties the biggest
Speaker 1: margin of victory forty two in the six season Brett
Speaker 1: Brown coaching era team record twenty one three pointers made.
Speaker 1: The previous team mark had been eighteen twice under Brown.
Speaker 1: And the forty assists for the seventy Sixers on fifty
Speaker 1: five makes. First of all, that is a phenomenal near
Speaker 1: eighty percent assist percentage rate, which you know the Sixers
Speaker 1: they lead the league in assist percentage that assists on
Speaker 1: field goals made. That number is just ridiculous. Forty one
Speaker 1: fifty five tremendous it's the most assist in a game
Speaker 1: for the team since January nineteen ninety one against the
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors, and all that. You know, that's great
Speaker 1: on the surface, it sounds nice and pretty and good
Speaker 1: and encouraging all that, Yes, s yes, But the meaning
Speaker 1: of it is last three games for the Sixers left
Speaker 1: a little bit, you could tell. Brett Brown alluded to
Speaker 1: as much in a variety of media availabilities. He said
Speaker 1: before tonight's game he wished the team were in a
Speaker 1: better place going into the stretch from here on out.
Speaker 1: If you count tonight, it is thirteen consecutive games before
Speaker 1: they're All Star Break finale against the Knicks, against teams
Speaker 1: that are currently in the playoff picture right now or
Speaker 1: are within two games of a playoff spot, and a
Speaker 1: lot of those teams are going to be one of
Speaker 1: the Sixers play on the road and all that. So
Speaker 1: he wished the team had been in a better spot
Speaker 1: losses against Washington and Atlanta and then nearly letting a
Speaker 1: twenty four point leads slip away against the Knicks on
Speaker 1: Sunday Madison Square Garden. Tonight very reassuring, very encouraging, showing
Speaker 1: what the seventy sixers can be when they are at
Speaker 1: their best. Now, if you caught a portion of Brett's
Speaker 1: postgame press conference that we aired with Tom Aginnis minutes ago,
Speaker 1: Brett said, You're never as good as you think you
Speaker 1: are at your best, and you're never as bad as
Speaker 1: you think you are at your worst. You're probably somewhere
Speaker 1: in between is where the water levels. But you know what,
Speaker 1: this is good? This is great. Thirty one and thirteen
Speaker 1: for Joel emb twenty points for Ben Simmons, and Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler's super efficient nineteen points, three rebounds, four assist, two
Speaker 1: steals in a block, plus twenty one against his old squad.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Jimmy Butler right now. I believe he
Speaker 1: is at the podium. I don't want to harp on
Speaker 1: that exactly, but more about what it means to you,
Speaker 1: Like when you hear those things the coach says, there
Speaker 1: are times that I've wanted him to be more aggressive.
Speaker 1: It's not always scoring, so like, what what exactly is
Speaker 1: the step? Um? Probably more so making plays for other others,
Speaker 1: being in attack mode. A lot of the times he
Speaker 1: does tell me a lot um. I think there's a
Speaker 1: there's a time and place for it, like I always
Speaker 1: tell him, Like I tell you, um Man, as long
Speaker 1: as we win, I'm not worried about it. If I'm
Speaker 1: aggressive or not. If we don't, then I feel like
Speaker 1: I could have been a little bit more aggressive. If
Speaker 1: you're reflecting on it only after the fact, then like
Speaker 1: is just you know, winning is above all, whether I'm
Speaker 1: being um aggressive or not. I just always want to win.
Speaker 1: So if being aggressive it's gonna help us win, then
Speaker 1: I need to do it. Um. If not, then I'll
Speaker 1: cool out for a little bit. I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: this jacket is hot. Coach is talking about preparing between
Speaker 1: you and well, what are you starting to learn? I
Speaker 1: mean for him, how dominant he is and everything that
Speaker 1: he can do on the floor. Um, shoot it post
Speaker 1: up past the ball. Um. I still think we're learning
Speaker 1: each other as long as we've been here for a
Speaker 1: short amount of time. I can't tell you how many
Speaker 1: days now. But um, like I heard him say, you
Speaker 1: know when it, when push comes to shove, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be involved in a lot. Um. But I think he
Speaker 1: does a great job of getting everybody else involved, as
Speaker 1: do I. So I think we have a ways to go.
Speaker 1: But I think we're just fine right now. The defense
Speaker 1: Jimmy from Safe from a Ladder too tonight, so some
Speaker 1: much with a big stuff was the game like that?
Speaker 1: You does really came at it earlier. Lighting went after
Speaker 1: Emarling to take with her. Yeah, that's how we look
Speaker 1: whenever we when we guard, I think we do a
Speaker 1: great job of scoring points. Um, But whenever we're guard,
Speaker 1: we're a really tough team. So let's learn from this
Speaker 1: and we gotta we gotta stretch ahead of us. Now,
Speaker 1: well that is the truth. Let's recap that now, as
Speaker 1: we just heard from Jimmy Butler postgame, nineteen points eight
Speaker 1: of ten overall, three or four from three against his
Speaker 1: old squad. Who's coming up? Okay, here we go at
Speaker 1: Indie Thursday playoff team, OKAC Saturday playoff team next week,
Speaker 1: Houston Spurs playoff teams starting the following Saturday on the
Speaker 1: road at Denver, Lakers, Golden State Sacramento. All those teams
Speaker 1: either in the playoffs or in the case of the
Speaker 1: Lakers and the Kings half game out. You got to
Speaker 1: figure at least Los Angeles is probably going to be
Speaker 1: in the top eight in the West. All said and done,
Speaker 1: come back home before the All Star break. Here at
Speaker 1: the Center, Toronto, Denver Lakers Boston to started back to back,
Speaker 1: ending the back to back at the Garden against New
Speaker 1: York before going on a break. That is a stretch,
Speaker 1: but this is the way to start. At one forty nine,
Speaker 1: one oh seven, seventy six Ers tie their most points
Speaker 1: in a game since nineteen ninety the most assists in
Speaker 1: a game since nineteen ninety one. All around outstanding complete
Speaker 1: forty eight minute after by the team. They were in
Speaker 1: search of one and they delivered. Tonight. We'll talk with
Speaker 1: Tom McGinnis coming up on the other side. It's the
Speaker 1: postgame showing the Sixers Radio Network. Club seventy six is

Speaker 1: nine seven six seven six two one five three three
Speaker 1: nine seven six seven six seventy six Ers topple the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Timberwolves target practice tonight one forty seven, one forty nine.
Speaker 1: I beg your pardon to one oh seven seventy six
Speaker 1: ers franchise record twenty one three pointers. They shot just
Speaker 1: under sixty percent from the field, forty assists, Tom McGinnis,
Speaker 1: pace space defense. It was all there and it was
Speaker 1: great to see. And I'm throwing a little good to great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was great performance by the Sixers. Just dominant, really,
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought Wilson Chandler kind of set the tone.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons continues his dominance. Joel got into a groove,
Speaker 1: I mean, and Bead made four threes, JJ Reddick and
Speaker 1: then Jimmy Butler. I thought Brian he missed his first
Speaker 1: two shots. He ends up going eight for ten and
Speaker 1: made it look easy. I mean, he really They were
Speaker 1: just asking him, you know, about putting his impact more.
Speaker 1: And again he takes what's there and he who moves
Speaker 1: that ball, he finds the open man and then he's
Speaker 1: able to score his his own and he had nineteen
Speaker 1: points in the game. But forty assists, dominant on the glass,
Speaker 1: just really completely overwhelmed Minnesota and a great win, certainly
Speaker 1: the most lopsided for the Sixers all year long, Sixers
Speaker 1: all over the timber Wolfson Night one forty nine two
Speaker 1: one oh seven, And I thought, you know, this whole theme,
Speaker 1: it seems like over the course of this yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: months and a half stretched, the Sixers continue to try
Speaker 1: and grow things. Defense. Defense, defense, We always talk about that.
Speaker 1: That's the primary area for Brett Brown. I mean, you
Speaker 1: go back to a couple of those early blocks, Butler
Speaker 1: Simmons steal in the lane. I mean, Sixers were keyed
Speaker 1: in defensively from the start. I thought, I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: you know, Minnesota shot around maybe forty six percent in
Speaker 1: the first quarter. You could just tell the defensive energy
Speaker 1: was there, and that seemed to go a long way. Well,
Speaker 1: you bring up a good point because oftentimes it's not
Speaker 1: like a one on one block. The block is set
Speaker 1: up by the first the initial defender holding the guy off,
Speaker 1: and then maybe Ben comes from off the ball or
Speaker 1: gets the deflection. You know, there was really a lot
Speaker 1: of attributes that you know, really spoke to that team
Speaker 1: energy defensively and that's what you're looking for. You know,
Speaker 1: you kind of have to be connected, you have to communicate,
Speaker 1: you have to have each other's back, you have to
Speaker 1: be in a help position oftentimes. So really solid into
Speaker 1: where they shut Wiggins and Kat down, Carl Anthony Town's
Speaker 1: just and Bead has had the better of them, and
Speaker 1: I kind of I want to whisper a little bit
Speaker 1: because you're afraid that he's gonna really wake up. I mean,
Speaker 1: think about it. He had twenty seven and twenty seven
Speaker 1: against New Orleans the other night. I'm pretty sure Anthony
Speaker 1: Davis played in that game. And so the six years
Speaker 1: done a terrific job, and that's what it's gonna take.
Speaker 1: I mean, boy, I cannot believe that stretch. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess I know the schedule too, but when you
Speaker 1: say it like that, I was really more, you know,
Speaker 1: thinking of the games that we just talked about with
Speaker 1: the Indianda game, the Thunder, the Rockets and the Spurs
Speaker 1: know about Denver, but then that after the road trip,
Speaker 1: when you're talking about hosting the Warriors and the Celtics
Speaker 1: and like that, it's really going to be something. So
Speaker 1: this middle third of the schedule, like I said, in
Speaker 1: passing towards the end of our the call during the game.
Speaker 1: You know, last year the schedule got easier, and this
Speaker 1: year the middle chunk of the schedule and you can't,
Speaker 1: I guess you can't even look to the latter third.
Speaker 1: But this is really that is a gauntlet of heavy
Speaker 1: NBA competition. And Brett Brown the kind of the theme
Speaker 1: going forward was he wanted to see his team play
Speaker 1: better and be ready for it well now, and you
Speaker 1: have to back it up because they certainly showed tonight
Speaker 1: that this was one of the top performances that we've
Speaker 1: seen and as good as the Sixers played. You know,
Speaker 1: we're monitoring the games out west. The Warriors had ten
Speaker 1: May threes in the opening quarter of their game already
Speaker 1: tonight time, can I relieve you? Earlier we have Joel
Speaker 1: Embiad at the podium, I believe by all means, good night,
Speaker 1: all right, see here's Joel Embiid. How motivated were you
Speaker 1: to dominate cat and how did you feel that you
Speaker 1: didn't dominate cat um? I mean it was it was
Speaker 1: a lar game like all those obviously, uh COTTI is
Speaker 1: a great player, uh and I respect them. Uh So
Speaker 1: Insitutions like this when you play against you know guys.
Speaker 1: Uh that people might have an opinion as far as
Speaker 1: wos better. Uh, you know those are the top of games.
Speaker 1: How I love uh you know I did it with
Speaker 1: the d uh and then Kat. But most importantly, we
Speaker 1: got to win and we played well together. The big
Speaker 1: guys not unto. Yeah, you guys just stayed into the
Speaker 1: whole lot of former quarters not to let the ball
Speaker 1: for gas and I let him, you know, become someone
Speaker 1: closest quarter. Um. I think we were more focused uh tonight.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it's uh, you know Jimmy and
Speaker 1: player against his old team. Uh, but I felt like
Speaker 1: everybody was locked in. Uh and uh we all did
Speaker 1: a great job of moving the ball, shining the ball. Uh.
Speaker 1: We had about what for the assists, So we need
Speaker 1: to keep doing that. How is the senior former teammates doing? Uh?
Speaker 1: It was great Dario, Uh, he was good saying them.
Speaker 1: I miss him. Uh. And then you know even even
Speaker 1: Wakes Uh, he was good standing him to Uh. So
Speaker 1: I'm missing him a lot. How do you think you're
Speaker 1: playing right now? And how do you think you're sitting
Speaker 1: into this role with Sorry, it's been a tough process
Speaker 1: for me, But I think I'm starting to figure it out,
Speaker 1: just planning off with Joe and being ul be aggressive
Speaker 1: that what have five shots? Is it difficult to or
Speaker 1: is it something you need to be around a lot
Speaker 1: of high usin you guys who like having the ball
Speaker 1: on their hands. Just yeah, just unique played three TI
Speaker 1: You like that, you know, getting more looks on the wing? Yeah? Sure?
Speaker 1: All right? Well, not a lot there from Wilson Chandler
Speaker 1: as the seventy six ers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves one
Speaker 1: forty nine to one oh seven, But a great win
Speaker 1: for the seventy sixers to get back on track tonight
Speaker 1: as they needed a convincing victory. It was thought popular opinion,
Speaker 1: and I would not disagree with that popular opinion. It
Speaker 1: just kind of like a confidence recreating type performance going
Speaker 1: into this really difficult stretch of the schedule. They got
Speaker 1: that this evening, and uh, just an all around record
Speaker 1: setting and balanced performance by the group. Twenty one three pointers,
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons twenty points, eleven rebounds, nine assists, joellenb thirty
Speaker 1: one points, thirteen rebounds, nineteen for Jimmy Butler against his
Speaker 1: old team, he was tremendous and the bench really contributed
Speaker 1: Landry Shammit with a dozen, Jonah Bolden with fourteen behind
Speaker 1: four to three pointers, and Brewery even gotten in the game.
Speaker 1: He scored three points at two rebounds and two assists.
Speaker 1: One more segments some of Tom's highlight calls coming up
Speaker 1: after this postgame show on the Sixers Raided Network. The
Speaker 1: Delaware Bluecoats half a Rod, the Sixes official NBAG League affiliate,
Speaker 1: is opening the All News seventy six is Fieldhouse in Wilmington, Delaware.
Speaker 1: Bluecoats games are perfectal business outings and an awesome family
Speaker 1: night out business sixes dot com slash Bluecoats. That's sixes

Speaker 1: Revolution today. Seventy six Ers Minnesota Timberwold for the first
Speaker 1: time this season. A lot of familiarity, of course, as
Speaker 1: a subplot, given the trade in November. Another subplot to
Speaker 1: this seventy Sixers last three games, even though they won
Speaker 1: Sunday in New York, a little bit loose against some
Speaker 1: lesser teams. At least he would figure on paper, how
Speaker 1: would they come out tonight, Oh very well tomorrow a
Speaker 1: phrase Sixers clicking from the outset of the game, and
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons was a big reason why. Simmons with a push,
Speaker 1: Simmons with a dribble, Simmons into the day, knocked out
Speaker 1: gifts and head slaps and are you kidding me? What
Speaker 1: a play by Ben seven get out of the way,
Speaker 1: TODs Gipson. Sixers would only up the lead and the
Speaker 1: anti as the first quarter went along from Dario Sixers
Speaker 1: trapped Derek Rose and steal the ball. Simmons on a drive,
Speaker 1: Simmons into the Ben Simmons will lay, Oh yeah, he's
Speaker 1: playing big time basketball. And after Tom and I were
Speaker 1: talking about a few minutes ago, the defense at the
Speaker 1: start of tonight's game really helps set the tone for
Speaker 1: the type of spirit the seventy sixers played with throughout.
Speaker 1: They were up forty to twenty seven after a quarter
Speaker 1: of play, and in the second quarter. Things escalated quickly
Speaker 1: early on and Jimmy Butler against his old squad, got
Speaker 1: the lead into the twenties. Back to Juell. They go
Speaker 1: back to Jimmy left side three ball, and that's good.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler knocks down the three, the seventh three by
Speaker 1: the Sixers. Coach Prett Brown was saying pregame, he'd like
Speaker 1: to see Butler shoot a few more threes while he's
Speaker 1: gotten at his first field goal to the game. Six
Speaker 1: is now fifty man. That made it fifty two twenty ninety.
Speaker 1: Know what's the only thing better than forty points in
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Answering that question is it's infinite. In fact,
Speaker 1: it could keep going on forever and ever and ever.
Speaker 1: But forty three points is even better than forty points.
Speaker 1: And that's how many of the Sixers scored in the
Speaker 1: second quarter. And it was capped off by JJ Reddick.
Speaker 1: Now duel one on one with Dario charch nine to
Speaker 1: shoot on the reset they go download the Beno cuts
Speaker 1: in the domain. It's JJ Reddick and it's gone. What
Speaker 1: a pass by sevens wheeled it thinly for the mo
Speaker 1: post and J J Reddick. He's got thirteen eighty three
Speaker 1: points for the seventy six and the first half they're
Speaker 1: up eighty three to fifty eight, the third highest scoring
Speaker 1: half in franchise history, for the highest scoring half in
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers slash Post Syracuse Nationals era. Well in
Speaker 1: the third quarter. This was a game the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: would not let get out of control. They continued shooting
Speaker 1: the three ball very well, and they just opened things up.
Speaker 1: Here's t J crossing a Bergario shooting it. Hatty patted
Speaker 1: them on the backside. TJ. Welcome back Dario. Two good
Speaker 1: friends who had coffee and dinner last night. Coffee again
Speaker 1: this morning. Competitive moment. T J. McConnell and the Sixers
Speaker 1: getting the better of Dario and the Timberwolves in this game.
Speaker 1: The seventy Sixers in total control going into the fourth frame,
Speaker 1: and they would finish it off by setting a record
Speaker 1: in terms of franchise history for three pointers made. Long
Speaker 1: shot by Minnesota no good as Jane missed that one.
Speaker 1: Here's Brewer with it. He was a rookie with the Wolves.
Speaker 1: He's played with multiple teams, including last year of the
Speaker 1: Lakers up the Thunder. Here's Jonah with another shotgun and
Speaker 1: Bolded with back to backfield goals and a time out
Speaker 1: taken by the Wolves. In the end, the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: would finish with a franchise record twenty one triples. That
Speaker 1: was the record set at nineteen. As the Sixers roll
Speaker 1: to one forty nine one oh seven win to night.
Speaker 1: The one hundred forty nine points to recap the most
Speaker 1: in a game since March of nineteen ninety against Denver
Speaker 1: forty two point marginal victory, the biggest of the Brett
Speaker 1: Brown era. The twenty one three pointers you talked about
Speaker 1: that in the forty assists the most for the seventy sixers.
Speaker 1: In January nineteen ninety one against the Golden State Warriors,
Speaker 1: six Ers shot forty bigger pardon just under sixty percent
Speaker 1: from the field. They held the Timberwolves to under thirty
Speaker 1: nine percent sixers forty nine percent from three. The Timberwolves
Speaker 1: were just eight of twenty three sixers plus twenty on
Speaker 1: the glass, just fifteen turnovers. They were all over the
Speaker 1: Timberwolves to night, outscoring them one second chances twenty nine
Speaker 1: and on the break twenty eight to twelve. Joelmbi team
Speaker 1: high thirty one points. That was also a game high,
Speaker 1: as we was thirteen rebounds, another double double for the
Speaker 1: big man. Ben Simmons a double double as well with
Speaker 1: twenty and eleveny at nine cists two. Jimmy Butler with
Speaker 1: nineteen points, eight of ten shooting three or four from three,
