WEBVTT - The BroadCast 12/2/18 - Rewind Vs. Grizzlies 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.960 This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back 0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:08.160 to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. He's 0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:12.760 the Philadelphia seventy Sixers postgame show. It beat Swanson on 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:16.680 the class then seventh flip Damn heat Rosen down over 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:20.440 to JJ three ball. It's good running crops the Sixers 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.440 postgame show right now on ninety seven five, the fanatic 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.840 seventy Sixers hold off the Memphis Grizzlies one h three 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:32.720 ninety five for their fourth consecutive victory. They're seventeenth overall. 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.760 That is good for second most in the wins column 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.160 in the NBA. Brian Seltz, you with you from down 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.440 here at the center. JJ Reddick at a team best 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.080 twenty four in the victory. Let's go to him now 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:45.520 in progress at the podium. I think it he'sn't played 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.800 a couple of games ago where Ben and Jimmy had 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.479 sun similar. Yeah, that's that's more by design. That plays 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.720 more by design. You know that in general a team 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.960 is going to switch. They might have the big who's 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.720 ever on Joel sort of dropped back near the rethrow line, 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.760 and in general, when I catch that ball, it's generally 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.120 more like on the Malone spot sort of you know, 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:11.320 midwing over in the corner. Um, it's not it's not 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.840 to get you know, a play at the rim. It's 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:15.840 just to get the ball in like you know, they're 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:17.760 either gonna foul or we're gonna sort of run a 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.720 play to milk clock. What has the relationship been like 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.320 with Jimmy Butler so far? Like, as far as I 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.640 chemistry on the floor and you got fallings as I thought, 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:30.880 Jimmy and I. Oh, um, I mean it's been great. Um. 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:36.160 I Jimmy's an easy guy to have as a teammate 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:40.039 for me because he plays hard, h he wants to win, 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.920 and he works his ass off. So um, you know 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.039 we get along great. We have some similar interests. I 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:50.040 won't get into that, but um, look for the podcast 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.600 on Thursday. All right for those of you who follow 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.760 the JJ Reddick podcast on the Ringer, sounds like he's 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.640 already booked his next guest one Jimmy Butler. Two of 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:03.480 them bind for forty five points in tonight's win, part 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.640 of a seventy nine point combined effort from Simmons, Reddick, 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.200 Ebid and Butler. The top four you would have to 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:14.360 say on the seventy sixers roster, and most telling that 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.920 Reddick and Butler combined for eleven points to close regulation, 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.800 the final eleven points the seventy six Ers scored in 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.359 tonight's game, a one h three ninety five win over 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:28.679 an always tough, grinded out style Memphis Grizzlies team. Tom 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.360 McGinnis had the call of tonight's games in the seventy Sixers, Tom, 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.119 let's just go big picture. First, seventeen wins, number two 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.160 in the league, thirteen, as you said at home, that's 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.560 more than seventeen other wins have total in terms of 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.840 wins in the league. They're playing well right now. They've 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.919 got a tough week ahead, but they are playing arguably 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.560 their best basketball after perfect three and oh homestand now 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.760 absolutely and this was a hard fought game, to be sure, 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.639 and you know the Sixers came through. And you're right, 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.440 as I said during the course of the call of 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.639 tonight's game, at this point last year, the Sixers were 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.320 thirteen and ten, and now with Jimmy Butler, I believe 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.280 that this was his tenth game, so I believe they're 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.760 eight and two since he got here. And you mentioned 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.119 the home crowd and the effect it has a sellout 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:20.800 crowds here, great atmosphere, tremendous and those four. Yeah, I 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.440 mean you hear this with other teams, and I think 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.880 it applies to the sixers, but core four. In other words, 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.120 you got Reddick and Joel and Ben and Jimmy and 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.120 they were all because tonight the bench TJ played well. 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.080 You got Mike Muscala was you know, normally a bench 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.600 player starting tonight, but they didn't really score at a 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.840 rapid rate, so you really needed some scoring. Joel didn't 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.520 shoot it well, but Ben Simmons and that, you know, 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.280 we just caught the tail end of Coach Brown describing 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.640 Ben's play when we joined Brett Brown, as you call 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.000 it the podium, and he was really good tonight, I 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:59.160 mean exceptional. First of all, he was guarded by Kyle Anderson. 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.560 He took that ball. He's playing the four a little 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.920 bit more because of and not necessarily from the onset 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.560 because he started at the point. But with Wilson Chandler 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.760 aut coach and said he was going to play more 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.720 four and when they find a matchup where they feel 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.360 like Ben can be successful, download they're going to go 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.000 to it early and often he was able to break 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.359 it from the foul and extended in the lane. On 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:24.479 Kyle Anderson. He started three of three and he made 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.960 a great alleute feed to Jimmy Butler for a jam. 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.440 Sixers get out to a ten to three lead. Then 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.159 things taper off a little bit. Memphis gets back in 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.080 the game. Sixers end up leading by one. After one, 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.279 they outscored them by nine. I believe in the second 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.479 the lead by ten and Simmons just he had a 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.680 double double, so did Joel. Those guys have combined for 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.560 that more than any other duo in the NBA. And 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.039 then there were a couple plays. You know, where you 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.080 talk about with Simmons is his ability to rebound and 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.280 take the ball the length of the floor, and one 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.120 of those times he did that, and that is it's 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.039 a rare skill set, and he was a dominant player 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.320 at times. Here tonight, seventy sixers over the Grizzlies one 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.400 oh three to ninety five, twenty four from Reddick, twenty 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.799 one from Jimmy Butler, fifteen for Joel and b nineteen 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.640 for Ben Simmons. I do think you've touched upon him 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.120 a lot, but it is kind of like, and I'm 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:18.880 guilty of it. I almost feel like I takes them 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.120 on what JJ Reddick does. For granted, like you always 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.840 talk about now the three, the Simmons, the mb the Butler, 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.520 but I mean JJ at thirty four years of age, 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.320 I mean it is just phenomenal what he's still able 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.040 to do. And we see the end result, which are 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.200 three pointers, and I think more increasingly as of late drives, 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.680 the basket and layoffs, but just the movement, all that stuff. 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.200 He has been so worthy of everything the seventy six 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.960 ers have given without question. And as you say, you know, 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.839 at this age and at this stage of his career, tonight, 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.560 I believe was what his thirty sixth consecutive game and 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.640 double figures dating back to last year. And he keeps 0:05:55.680 --> 0:06:00.160 himself in incredible shape, and you know, he just as 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.400 a knack, you know, the movement without the basketball. This 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.760 is gonna make Sixers fan older Sixers fans man. But 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.080 one of my favorite players growing up to watch was 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.640 John Havlichick with the Celtics. He moved without the ball 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.760 just so much and off the ball and had a 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.279 knack of getting open. Well. JJ Reddick is a master 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.680 of leverage and that's what happened on that play. And 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.839 again one little snippet of his availability that we missed 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:24.880 on that layup that he got on that side of 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.600 the bounce play. Then he went on to describe how 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.039 they call it really more just to get in play. 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.839 But he and Rennick kind of looked at each other like, yeah, 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.560 this is how the Grizzlies are going to guard this. 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.240 And they played over the top. In other words, nobody 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:40.440 would between JJ and the basket. That's a fundamental breakdown. 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.520 That's like the first thing you learn about defense is 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.839 between the man and the basket. And Reddick got that 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.479 layup because he's so good at shifting and creating space 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.320 and then the other thing. It's almost a treat. And Brian, 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:53.839 you sit there and listen to him at the training 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.479 complex with his availability. After Pratt, he dissects the game. 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.200 I mean, he is really you talk about basketball IQ 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.720 and Butler has it. I mean, these guys they play 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.839 at a high level. And part of the reason it's 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.960 not just their their physical gifts and their skill set, 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.239 but it's how they think the game. It's their will. 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.000 And he brings all of that to the table He's 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.800 really been a, as you say, a terrific player for 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.400 the Sixers. And I think you know, when they get 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.360 into the mix with you start to play with other 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.600 players like that, it makes the hole obviously much greater. 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.280 Seventy Sixers real nice win over the Grizzlies one h 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.840 three ninety five to improve to seventeen and eight on 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.480 the season. Four straight wins, three straight here at home 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.560 on this latest homestand and now which would be a 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.520 fun week ahead. Yeah, no, seventy Sixers rematch with the 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.280 Toronto Raptors at Aaron Canada Center, nationally televised game bank. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.280 Let's get it right. No, but you're right, Brian. First 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.600 of all, a little breathing room in the schedule, Brett Brown. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.760 They circled tomorrow as a day off and well well 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.920 needed for the Sixers. Great homestand three and oh breathing 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.680 room practice time during this past week. And yet you 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.400 go to Toronto that they play tomorrow. They played Denver, 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.400 that's not an easy game. They'd won eight in a row. 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:08.280 Speaking of the Raptors, but at some point you gotta 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.120 go through that team. Okay, it's still gonna be Boston. 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.360 They're starting to play better. But you know the way 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.560 that Toronto has been the class of the East. Now 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.000 this is your squad. I mean, Wilson probably be better 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:21.840 by Wednesday. That was part of the reason he didn't 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.600 play tonight. And and again you may not win the game, 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.920 but you gotta show that you can go up there. 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.040 And you know, whether it's Jimmy on Kawhi Leon or 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:35.160 whatever it is that this you know, this is conceivably 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.040 one of the matchups that could be for the right 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:39.679 to play for the NBA Final. Long way to go, 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.840 a lot of speculations. Certainly, like I said, Boston, Indiana 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.920 mind walking, these teams are going to be in the mix. 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.840 But it's certainly the top two teams in the Atlantic 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.080 in a big matchup. And then you go to Detroit. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.160 They're playing incredibly well. I believe they're now eight of 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.240 their last ten. They just beat the Warriors. They got 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.160 to going on the games with Blake Griffin. The game 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.360 out there in Detroit was an overtime thriller. Griffin had 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:05.120 fifty and so obviously, as to your point, two big games. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:06.839 And then they come right back and back to back 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.720 and they play not back to back, but certainly playing 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.760 Detroit twice in a row. Friday there and then the 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.440 next home game Monday here and that'll be on the 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.520 tenth at seven o'clock when the Sixers come back to 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.320 meet Detroit. So all good to be playing this well 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.000 and to have marquee games like this. It's very exciting 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.200 and the Sixers are doing a great job. Sixers beat 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.000 the Grizzlies one of three ninety five. Tom mcguinnis, we 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.600 thank you very much. Thank you, Brian, goodnight. Yeah, big 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:37.280 game coming up on Wednesday. Cannot wait another opportunity to 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.160 get a crack at the Toronto Raptors and avenge that 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.040 loss from late October right before Halloween. But that will 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.559 be on Wednesday. We still have things to dissect from 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.880 the rest of tonight's game. A Sixers eight point win 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.319 over the Memphis Grizzlies, third straight game holding the opposition 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.280 under one hundred points. That's a first ince February of 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.120 last year. We hope we might be able to bring 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.599 you a portion of Jimmy Butler's postgame press conference, so 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.040 standby for that. If not, we'll run through some of 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.760 Tims highlight calls coming up. On the other side, it's 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.319 the postgame showing the Sixers rated network.

Onto the third we go, we heard a 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.760 lot about Simmons and Embiid in the first half.

That was 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.280 an eight nothing run by the seventy sixers. Memphis came back. 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.720 They would draw closer within four points at ninety three 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.920 to eighty nine, but the Sixers would get two points 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.720 from Jimmy Butler at the line and then this from 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.120 the four time All Star five on the shot block 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.880 back to Butler and tight quarters against Shelban Mack. Butler 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.480 went two. He stepped back shot in the air.
