WEBVTT - Playoff Pod: Episode 6 - Game 3 Rewind 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.400 This is a playoff edition of seventy six Ers Rewind 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.560 presented by Geico. Time Now to listen back to reaction 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.280 from the team's most recent postseason game six to Take 0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:12.639 Game three of the Eastern Conference playoffs, and Divine gives 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:14.440 with you on the Sixties postgame show here on the 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:17.160 Sixties Radio Network. Let's get to the winning head coach 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:22.079 Bret Brown meltdown at the end of the third period 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.439 that they went on that run and kind of sat 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:26.599 on the zone and we didn't handle that well. But 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:30.440 short of that particular phase of the game, I thought 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:35.480 Ben was exceptional. You know, they started trying to foul him. 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:37.879 I think at that point he had not missed a 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.600 free throw and he didn't miss the two after they 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:43.080 intentionally fouled him, but then he made another two to 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.960 follow it up. And so whether you look at you know, 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.880 his confidence, his body language, just walk into a line, 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.839 or the things that you're talking about, Mike with you know, 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:57.760 sort of just organic play. I give Ben a tremendous 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:02.040 amount of credit. We needed it all tonight, especially without Joel. 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.400 You heard Ben get booed every time he touched the ball. 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.320 There was the comments made that his half court game 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.560 was average and he's nine for eleven in the half 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.800 court How much do you think those things fueled him? 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.680 And how impressed were you with the way he came out. 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.240 I mean, it's sort of like I said to the 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.960 group prior to the game, I think we forget he's 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:27.520 twenty two years old, and you know, we see we 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.480 started talking about the growth and his jump shot and 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.840 all this stuff everybody talks about. Then you see him 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.440 come out and make the free throws and you know, 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.720 whether he's getting booed or there's something else going on 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:43.080 as it relates to, you know, some level of scrutinizing Ben. 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:51.880 He's incredibly confident within himself. He has put in a 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.400 tremendous amount of work, apart from being just pretty down 0:01:55.480 --> 0:02:00.600 good to earn that privilege. And I'm just so happy 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.600 for him to play like he played tonight. And especially 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.600 when you zoom into the free throw line to make 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.560 free throws in the NBA playoffs and have what thirty 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.120 one points and shoot the percentage that he did, I 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.600 think he feeds off that. But it's not like he's 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.320 out beating his chest over. I think internally he's got 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.960 tremendous in a confidence to get a six points from 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.280 your top three guys after well, yeah, and you know 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:32.640 what they gave you guys tonight. Tobias was a bell ringer. 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.360 Ben easily could have been the bell ringer. You know. 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.280 You start looking at Tobias's rebounds and what he did 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:42.160 from the three point line, and I think, um, you know, Jimmy, 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.120 the maturity that he had in JJ just coming out. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.880 There was a stretch there where you know, JJ came 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.079 out and hit a three, then Tobias came right back. 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.080 We sort of had the same look, the same type 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.040 of play with wrinkles out of it. And really the 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.280 players talked about this on the bench and one of 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.360 one of my timeouts, one of our timeouts, where I 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.560 came back with a notion and they said, that's fine, 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.760 but we think this. I said, let's do both back 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.000 to back. And I think that you know, did to 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.440 listen to JJ and Tobias and Jimmy, you know, carry 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.760 on a conversation on the bench. It was high level, 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.120 like you know, pros talking to pros. And I thought 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.079 that those three to you a point. You know, we've 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.440 already discussed Ben. I thought that they were exceptional tonight. 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.720 You had a chance to happen to have very often 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.440 so that they because does that depth of scoring options 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.440 separating this team and maybe even the six years team 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:40.640 of last year, you didn't have these weapons at your disposal. Yeah, 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:46.160 that many points without Mbati employment. Yeah. Um, we had 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:50.560 different types of scorers last year, and and they were 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.480 reliant on the past. The team that we had last 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:58.120 year was very reliant on being freed up. They were 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:04.400 reliant on player and ball movement screening for Rosanna dario 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.000 A Coved And like these guys that we have this 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.240 year can can play by themselves. They really can create 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.440 by themselves. I still when we talk about our offense, 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.440 I still am most excited that I think we're planning 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.359 most times high level defense, and I feel like that 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:29.560 we're completely biting on a game plan. We were starting 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.120 to like understand what we're trying to achieve. And I 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.560 give the guys credit, but I think more than that anything, Jack, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:41.120 I think this scoring is proportional to odd defense, right, 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.040 you guys were? That was Sixers head coach, the winning 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.440 head coach of game number three for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers, 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.159 Brett Brown once again, Welcome to the Sixers Postgame Show 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.200 Playoff edition here on the Sixers Radio Network. I am 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.680 Divine Gibbons with you as we break down this victory 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.600 to take a two one series lead in Game number 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:06.240 three in Brooklyn, led by Ben Simmons, JJ Reddick, Tobias Harris, 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.120 and a cast of others as they helped contribute in 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.480 this victory to take this two to one lead in 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.240 the first round of the Eastern Conference playoff series. No 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.360 Joel Embiad obviously the story to start things off a 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.080 game time decision, and it came down just a few 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.280 minutes before the actual tip that he would miss this game. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.120 We know he's dealing with load management in the right 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.320 knee injury right now where they're trying to monitor his 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.080 knee and make sure everything is okay. We'll get the 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.920 status of him, I'm sure maybe tomorrow. Between today and 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.039 the game number four back in Brooklyn on Saturday, we 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.440 will find out about Joel Ebiad's availability. In his place 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.360 tonight was Greg Munroe, but again the story being the 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.360 other four starters in the starting lineup, led by Ben 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.559 Simmons with a playoff career high thirty one points nine 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.840 assists and four rebounds on the evening, three turnovers and 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.400 thirty eight minutes, a team high thirty eight minutes and 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.679 twenty seven seconds, actually a game high thirty eight minutes 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.640 and twenty seven seconds. And he was phenomenal coming out again, 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.200 answering the bell, answering the call when once young star 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.400 goes down, the other one steps up and gives you 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.560 contributions across the board eleven to thirteen from the field, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.560 and as Brett Brown pointed out, once Kenny Atkinson and 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.240 the Brooklyn Nets decided to hack of Ben, he had 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.640 not missed a free throw at that point, missing the 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.279 first two on that strategy by the Brooklyn Nets, but 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:35.240 then following up and connecting on the next four. Therefore 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:40.360 Bacchi putting a nail into the strategy of Kenny Atkinson 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.360 and the Brooklyn Nets, finishing the night nine of eleven 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.320 from the free throw line. Just a phenomenal performance by 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.960 Ben Simmons, stepping up. With all the conversation going on 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.800 between the Brooklyn Nets and the seventy sixers, more so 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.400 on the net side, about the disrespect therefore from Ben 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.360 Simmons and the seventy sixers for some things that may 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.680 have happened in game number two. We'll get Jimmy Butler 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.880 to Buys Harrison, JJ Reddick as well in their contributions. 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.360 Boba Marianovitch solid once again off the bench, but we're 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.440 gonna take a quick break. Come right back, connect with 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.680 the man who called the game, called a great game 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.160 at Barclay's Center for the seventy six Ers one thirty one, 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.920 one fifteen win. That would be Tom Aguinnis once again. 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.960 One thirty one, one fifteen is the final score. Sixers 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.320 take a two one series lead in the Eastern Conference playoffs. 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.840 We will come back and connect with Tom at Barclay's 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.000 right here on the Sixers Radio network. As we watch 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.920 the suburban garden nome carefully, carefully without disturbing it. He 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.280 noticed that it moves like not at all. It's inanimate 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:42.040 and utterly without brain function. But despite that, when a 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.559 garden know me. Here's about how Geico not only saves 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.560 people money but also gives them access to license stagents 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.679 twenty four seven online and over the phone. It's clear 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:54.080 to them you should switch, because yes, switching to Geiko 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.920 is a no brainer. But on second thoughts, maybe don't 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:04.240 watch Garden Nomes two. Carefully, people might talk Sixers take 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.600 a two one series league that due to a one 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.480 thirty one, one fifteen victory over the Brooklyn that's in 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.720 game number three in Brooklyn, New York at Barclay's Center, 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.280 Divine Givens. This is the Sixers postgame show here on 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.520 the Sixers Radio Network, and it's always great to connect 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.680 reconnect with the man, the radio voice of the Philadelphia 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.760 seventy Sixers, especially after he win a big one like 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.160 this one. And Tom mc ginnis joins us live from 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.040 Barclay's Center. Time. We know the story right at the 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.240 start of the game, the availability or not of Joel 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.600 Ebid And as we looked at the other players, the guys, 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.280 the other stars that are in a starting lineup with 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.000 them to step up, you can point out the next 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.760 four guys in that starting lineup, which certainly did just 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:48.800 that well for sure. And I thought Harris getting after 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.520 a good start and making those threes, and you know, 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.880 that's kind of the Tobias Harris. We got accustomed to 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.800 the Sixers acquire me shooting forty percent from three, ended 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.480 up shooting that for the year. And you know, those 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:03.200 first two games weren't really indicative of that, and tonight 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.880 he was perfect six of six in terms of attempts 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.839 from beyond the arc. Sixers went to JJ, and again 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.800 JJ's so effective. He went five of nine and really 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.760 running Joe Harris out of the play, sidestepping defenders. He 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.680 just did an excellent job making some very difficult shots. 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.719 In terms of JJ Reddick and I thought Jimmy was 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.880 effective early on, didn't score that well, but getting people involved. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.200 And then Ben Harris what you like to see early 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.920 on with the exact same intensity and aggressiveness in driving 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.240 that ball to the basket early in the game, and 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.920 it set a tone and you know, as you watch 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:43.600 that game ten times or multiple times devon, the Sixers 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.360 had ten point leads and I thought that was again 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.080 they controlled the game. Now. I felt there were times 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.920 in the first half what it seemed like the Sixers 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.079 might have led by more and could have taken more 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:58.040 advantage of ineffective play by Brooklyn, but it still was 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.720 a six point halftime lead. They take that big lead 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.040 in the third, let it slip back a little bit. 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.720 You gave them some momentum. But to me, it's it's 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.840 so impressive when a team can re establish itself and 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.960 re jump that lead into double figures and then put 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.720 it away that that's exactly what the Sixers did here, 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.080 particularly on the road in a playoff game, that is 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.920 most impressive and time. You're right, And of course we 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.280 know how Ben Simmons responded in the last game in 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.320 game number two back at the center with the triple 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.000 double and the aggressive approach that he took to set 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.439 the tone early, and he did the same thing similarly 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.679 here tonight. But I like also how Brett Brown went 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.480 to Jimmy Butler early to kind of start the offense 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.920 for them to allow Ben Simmons to also get going. 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.360 He had eight responded with eight points in the first quarter. Well, 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.640 Jimmy's a more than capable ball handler and play initiator, 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.800 if you will, And you know that's often been the 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.200 case when Ben goes out, where Jimmy kind of takes 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.160 over the offense. And you know, obviously that's what Brett 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.400 Brown was talking about when he said in the playoffs, 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.800 the rotation gets shorter. Now in the regular season, that's 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.760 probably TJ McConnell coming in there and spelling Ben but 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.040 that and I think the Sixers were effective. Even though 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.240 James Ennis did not have a big game. He had 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:11.040 four points. But Mike Scott and Ennis have really helped 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:16.160 the Sixers in ways defensively. And again, you know Denwendy. 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:17.840 I thought then when he had a bit of an 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.640 off game fifteen points, I thought, and that might be 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.120 attributable to those guys that I'm talking about. I thought 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.760 then when he made some actual poor decisions where he 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.360 had some chots and then try to take it a 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.079 dribble too many or make a pass when it was 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.960 right there. And quite frankly, I think the same could 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.240 be said for Jimmy Butler. He went six and thirteen 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:37.960 in the game, which is not all that bad, just 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.800 under fifty percent. But I thought early on he'd get 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.120 a pocket of an opening and not shoot him. So 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.240 there are times that I think Jimmy Butler needs to 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.600 be a little bit more, and it's not really selfish 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.600 because it's for the benefit of the team, but call 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.600 his own number. Because he's so capable, and you watched 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.400 Von he was spinning, he was on fire, he was 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.800 rearer to go. He played a good overall game, but 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.560 I thought he might have been able to score the 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.240 ball a little bit. So all of those things combined 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.720 added it up to a very impressive road victory for 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.400 the Sixers, absolutely and only one turnover with all the 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:11.680 contribution that he made with the ball in his hands. 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.400 Time again his life from Barclays Center. After the Sixers 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.280 win one thirty one, one fifteen, take a two one 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.839 series lead, and of course time, as you pointed out, 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.840 the defense on the perimeters, still trying to figure out Russell, 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:28.120 Den Willie and Leverton Carris. Lavert in particular, really went 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.080 off in that second quarter where he just went on 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.800 his own personal scoring streak. Still some small little details, 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.440 even though the Sixers have improved small little details to 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.480 try to contain these guys so it doesn't hurt them 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.840 in the future in these games. Well, I agree, And 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.480 if I'm Kenny Atkins said, maybe I put Lavert in 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.199 there or not, Joe Harris, I mean, Lavert had twenty 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.200 six points and you know he didn't score in the 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.080 first quarter, he had nineteen in the second quarter, and 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.679 you know, lucky for the Sixers only had seven. I 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.360 don't know how much that kids. He's unbelievable. He is 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.320 really good. And Russell had an up and down game. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.080 Look at Russell, twenty six attempts, he makes a dozen, 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.760 two of which come late. He had seven in a row, 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.400 I mean, and then the guy I thought, like I said, 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.319 didn't win a bit of an off game. So all 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.120 three of those guys in double figures, I mean, Russell 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:20.000 and Lavert combined for fifty two points, so that's a 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.319 pretty big total. They had one hundred and fifteen that's 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.400 more than they scored in the regular season on average. 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.120 So it wasn't really their offense, but it was the 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.320 fact that they couldn't stop the Sixers, I mean, one 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.040 hundred and thirty one points after giving up one hundred 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.600 and forty five, and you think that's an anomaly, and 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.200 you know they come right back and give up one 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.000 hundred and thirty one. So again I say this with 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.079 all due respect, but it's been written about, talked about. 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.000 The Sixers have more talent than Brooklyn. And look, they 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.080 finished up with a lot better record, fifty one wins 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.840 as opposed to forty two, and it's evident in this series, 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.280 and they were able to beat them without the best 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.679 player in the game for either team, and that is 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.720 joelbin beat So for the Sixers. You know, hopefully you 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.440 get you well back. But boy, at any point you 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:09.000 cannot relax because Brooklyn again they did not look nearly 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.160 as competitive against the Sixers as they did in the 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.080 first game in which they won here, or the two 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.400 games and that they beat the Sixers, but you cannot 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.320 count them out. There's no way. And until you win 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.200 two more games, you cannot in any way relax. And 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.760 that's what I'm saying. You cannot let human nature come 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.000 in and think, all right, now we got to beat 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.960 it is going to be Battle Royal game four here Saturday, 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.240 and you got to take care of business and see 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.880 if you can't win the game here and then potentially 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.480 go home and win the series on Tuesday night. But 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.400 you got to win this game on the because the 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.640 Sixers have rested back home court advantage now and they 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.000 did that too, you know when they when they split 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:49.920 that game and they had the rest of the you know, 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.680 the advantage at home. But now, like I say, you 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.400 put yourself in a position to potentially, you know, win 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.000 out if you can win here Saturday, tom final one. 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.000 As you speak about the game on Saturday, this is 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.960 a familiar territory for the seventy six, the same situation 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.280 last year in the first round, they tied the series, 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.080 won one. Of course, back at home, go to Miami, 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.680 win Game three, Game four. Again, they've been here. Maybe 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.320 joelmbe will be available, maybe not, but they did take 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.640 that commanding three one lead, closing it out in Game 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.080 five in Philadelphia. I'm sure Brett Brown will bring some 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.600 of that back up as to what happened last year, 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.160 and looking to this particular situation against the Brooklyn Nets, well, 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.200 no doubt, and you certainly have some holdovers from that group, 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.200 but it is a new dynamic. And one thing that's 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:38.640 noteworthy regarding Joel he did address the media prior to 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.440 the game and he said his knee is getting better 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:45.240 so to me. Now, so he misses tonight and he'll 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:49.600 have not played from Monday to Saturday, and you know, 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.400 as you're trying to rest that thing and hope that 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.280 tend nitish flares down a little bit. If that's a 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.440 medical phrase, which I'm pretty sure it's not it is, 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.320 but you know, he it's a little bit more respite 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.880 as he rehabs and gets ready. He did shoot around 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.200 prior to the game, but absolutely in terms of the 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.000 series and the shape of it. Obviously, the Sixers lost 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.440 a second game in that first round deal last year. 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.120 But as you say, the opportunity is there and it 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.080 certainly could take the shape of that. But you gotta 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.880 everything's different, everything's you know, new, and and you're here 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.280 in Brooklyn and they didn't play that well, you gotta 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.480 expect them to play a little bit better. They didn't 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.760 get much at all from Carol and Coup Roots. They're 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.040 starting forwards in this game. Jared Dudley brought them nothing. 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.440 Ed Davis barely played. So the Sixers, you know, with 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.840 Bomon playing the way, but how about Bobon You can't 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.880 discount the fact that he was a real integral player 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.880 in this game. And it was just an overall so 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.120 they had a lot of really good performances for the 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.520 Sixers and that's how they came away with this win 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.920 one fifty. Well, as you said, Town, we look forward 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.560 to game number four on Saturday and listening to your 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.680 call as we hopefully get a three one commanding lead 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.320 in the series bringing it back to Philadelphia on Tuesday. 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.480 All right, Davon, thank you and good night, Tom, have 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.960 a good night time again his live from Barclays Center 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.520 again Sixers victorious one thirty one, one fifteen over the 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.560 Brooklyn Nets in Brooklyn, the first time Brooklyn has hosted 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.480 a playoff game in quite some time, and it was 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.040 a good one. It was a good one as the 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.600 seventy Sixers come away with the win one thirty one, 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.200 one fifteen. On the other side, we will now hear 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.840 from more of Tom again as that be, that being 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:31.400 the variety of game calls, and there were a lot, 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.960 a lot of good plays by the seventy sixers, and 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.000 we hear are those calls on the other side. This 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:40.119 is the Sixers post game show. They always told Will 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.320 he was too short to play basketball, but Will never listened. 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.040 We'll let his work ethic do the talking for him. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.400 Always in a gym, always running drills. Will knew where 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.600 there was a will, there was a way, and he 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:55.800 was Will. But then after a second child was born, 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.040 he realized the pros were all way better than him. 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.159 So Will gave up and buried his high times in 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.320 a cheerful ceremony. But one day he heard that Geico 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.600 could save him money on car insurance, so he switched 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:14.280 and saved a bunch which was awesome. Game three goes 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:18.000 to the Philadelphia seventy Sixers one thirty one one fifteen. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.680 Sixers take a two one series lead in the Eastern 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.359 Conference quarter Finals. Here, I'm divine givings, This says the 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:28.000 Sixers postgame show right here on the Sixers radio network 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.600 in his time for the game calls that would be 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.400 of course, sound by Tom McGuinness as they start things off. 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.920 Jimmy Butler with the baseline jumper to tie things up 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:41.760 too to two. Jared Allen very active this evening against 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.520 the seventy Sixers. He gets an offensive rebound in the 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.080 dunk to make it nine to four. Brooklyn Greg Munroe 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.520 from Ben Simmons for layup to make it nine the eight. 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:55.520 Ben Simmons again starting this game off aggressive driving to 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.639 the basket. Simmons Night seventh on an angle around whu 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:00.520 Wrot's typical to angle, but he gets it out of 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:04.400 the run at Ben Simmons scores it. It's a fourteen 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.960 to twelve game. Ben Simmons very good as contorting his 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.680 body in certain ways and hitting these very difficult angles 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.520 for the basket. Again. Fourteen twelve is time again. It's 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.000 just pointed out bobam Marianovitch getting in on the mix 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:21.600 with an offensive rebound in the dunk. Nineteen seventeen Tobias 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.480 Harris pull up jumper and follow that up with a 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.000 pull up three pointer to make it twenty five. Nineteen Sixers. 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.920 Greg Munroe, starting in place of an injured and resting 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.760 Joel and bead for the hoop outside right ten wenty 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:36.919 on a try, it gets free again off the glass 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.600 up and oh good. The row with the rebound and 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:41.359 Row runs at four, goes in at the scores and 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.280 Jared Dudley Sixers make it thirty two twenty four. Then 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.480 roll making an impact at both ends of the four. 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.480 Great patience by Ben Simmons as he pushed the break 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:54.320 allowed Greg Munroe to fill that lane on the left side. 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:57.400 The defense did not pay attention in transition, hitting Monroe 0:19:57.680 --> 0:19:59.879 for the layup on the left side of the floor 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.520 again thirty two twenty four. That was the score after one. 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.399 Jimmy Butler starts off the quarter with a jumper to 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:07.679 make it thirty four twenty four, just like he started 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.639 off the scoring for the Sixers in the first. A 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.800 floater by Karis Labert gave him six straight to make 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:16.119 it thirty four thirty sixers, then a three pointer. A 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.280 little later. Russell goes away from one man, fires for 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.119 three and that's long off the back. Labert gets the rebound. 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:26.200 Labert first prayer. He's done it again. Paris Labert has 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:29.879 tied the game at thirty eight a person to a 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.680 streak where he was just on fire, scoring nineteen points 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.680 in the second quarter, tied it up thirty eight thirty eight. 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:38.800 Ben Simmons with a finished for two at the room 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.720 to take the lead forty to thirty eight. JJ Reddick 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.360 with a three to make it sixty three to fifty three. 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.280 As the seventy sixers started to pull away, Ben Simmons 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:50.560 closes out the quarter in strong fashion. Six seconds to 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.520 go in the first half, Butler the reddick, JJ turns 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:58.120
