WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 01/11/2018 - Rewind vs. Celtics

0:00:04.080 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Years, perhaps even within a few months down the road.

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>This will be an experienced no doubt that members of

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>these seventy Sixers remember the franchises first ever regular season

0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>game played outside of North America. But the final outcome

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 1>stinging for the Sixers tonight here in London one fourteen,

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>one oh three, the Celtics with a sixty six point

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>second half powering the way past the Sixers. For Boston,

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>it was there seventh straight win and their thirty fourth

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 1>NBA best victory on the year, while the seventy Sixers

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.279
<v Speaker 1>fall back one game under five hundred or four game

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.839
<v Speaker 1>winning street coming to a halt. There now nineteen and

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty on the year. Brian Seltzer from Sixers dot Com

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>with you on the postgame show here from Tom McGinnis

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>in a moment, will play back some of his highlight

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 1>calls as well. Typically on the postgame show, we have

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>excerpts of Brett Brown's postgame press conference. Because we are

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>across the Atlantic Ocean and the setup is a little

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>bit different in these parts than a typical NBA arena,

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>we do not have the technical capabilities of bringing that

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>to you this evening, but Boston with a great second half.

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>You saw why their defense leads the league doing what

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>it does. They really extended it in the second half,

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and the Sixers did not have as much success shooting

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the ball certainly as they did over the course of

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the first twenty four minutes of action. I mean, at

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>one point in the middle of the second quarter, it

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.960
<v Speaker 1>was a twenty two point game forty nine twenty seven

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 1>favoring the Sixers. JJ Reddick got off to a torrid start.

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>He knocked down six shots in a row during one

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>stretch of the game. Ben Simmons was aggressive getting the rack,

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>taking Al Horford head on, but the Sixers could not

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>sustain all the good they built up with just about

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>halfway through the second quarter to go in the opening half,

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and Boston turned things on in the third quarter. Jason

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Tatum helped them out in a big way. Al Horford,

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>who has kept under wraps in the first half, had

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a very strong finish. Marcus Morris always seems to rise

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>to the occasion against his hometown team, at least this

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>season in Celtics Screen and White and the seventy Sixers

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>not able to get it done one fourteen to one

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>oh three. Welcome back Tom mc Ginnis. At this point

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>in time, Tom for the first eighteen minutes of action

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>here at the sold out O two Arena, Man, it

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>was looking better than good for the seventy Sixers. Reminiscent

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>of the last game the Sixers played against the Detroit Pistons.

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 1>They just couldn't build off that. We saw why Boston

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>is the best team in the Eastern Conference. After halftime,

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>our counterpart from the Celtics radio broadcasts, Cedric Maxwell, just

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 1>walked by and goes, wow, you were running him out

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>of the gym. Talking about the Sixers up by twenty two.

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Reddick was on fire. Sixers were moving the ball, hitting

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of shot. Brian, I thought Boston missed a

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of shot, easy shots in the first half, and

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to say it was credited to the Sixers defense,

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>but they were They just missed a lot of good

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>looks and the Sixers embeed. Although he ended up with

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>a double double, I believe he had fifteen attend he

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>never really got in rhythm. I thought he was a

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>little overanxious. He got like Tyson him. He wanted to

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>go right at him because he felt like he would

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>could overpower the younger taller German player and got fouls

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and that type of thing. And again they're a very

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 1>solid overall team. Their bench really produced the numbers by

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>are smart. Weren't big Rosiard in him a beginning, but

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 1>they produced mightily. Morris was brilliant for them. Jalen Brown,

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 1>I thought, helped to stem the tide with his second

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>quarter activity, particularly scoring. He ended up leaving them with

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty one and Kyrie although not you know, huge numbers

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>like we're accustoming at thirty six and the second matchup

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>November thirtieth, he still had twenty or nineteen and he

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>would still contributed in a big way. They're playing with confidence.

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>They were not going to be bowing down to a

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty two point league with half of the second quarter

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>in the entire second half to go, and then once

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>they gained the league, they ran away with it. And

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.119
<v Speaker 1>they're dominating the Sixers. Let's league, honest. They've they've beaten

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers three times in a row right now, thirteen

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>out of the last fourteen, and I mean the Celtics

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>over the course of this season, they had sixteen game

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>winning streak. They've won games in so many different shapes

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and sizes. They were not going to be phased by

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>falling behind by twenty two. They ended up winning it

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>one fourteen, one h three and perhaps not ohso coincidentally enough,

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>when the Sixers had that twenty two point league time

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 1>out Celtics, and who comes back on the court after that,

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Well there's Kyrie Irving and Al Horford and some of

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 1>the starters. And Irving, as you said, superficially on the

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>stat sheet seven to twenty twenty points. You're like, yeah, okay,

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe pedestrian by his standards, but he really rammed up

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>the engine and set the tone going into the half,

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 1>got the deficit down to a manageable point for Boston,

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.359
<v Speaker 1>and he was big in that flurry at the end

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>of the first half. Absolutely, as was as I mentioned Brown.

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>And the guy we don't talk about, even though you

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>just mentioned him, but really don't go into detail, and

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I think he doesn't get maybe the credit he deserves

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 1>overall league wide is Horford. Hornford is the guy who

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.719
<v Speaker 1>really moves that ball in the perimeter, set screens, plays

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>pick and pop. It's he's not necessarily their five because

0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>they're playing Baines at the center spotfended sim yeah, one

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>four pick and roll though he's really good, he makes

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the extra pass he is. I mean that's when when

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>you talk to people around the Celtics, that's when it

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>started to really turned around for balls. And they've bet

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>ahead of the Sixers in this trek toward the top

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>of the East and clearly you know they're the best

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>record last year. I mean, they're way there, Let's be honest,

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>They're way another Sixer. They got two wall Stars and

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 1>and al Horpe when they got Horford, and then a

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>huge deal by Ange to acquire Kyrie Irving. I mean,

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 1>they're they're really playing well and the growth of both

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Brown and Tatum has been market and they're they're a

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>really good team right now. I gotta tell you they

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 1>may they in Toronto. They may shock Cleveland. It may

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>not be the Cleveland Cavaliers playing for the NBA title

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>from the Eastern Conference. You mentioned the Toronto Raptors, which

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>just happens to be the next team up on the

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.720
<v Speaker 1>schedule for the Sixers. Martin Luther King Day Matinee on Monday.

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>They're the second best team right now in the Eastern Conference.

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>And I did think the Sixers came out tonight and

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>played like this was a business trip. You could tell.

0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 1>But now you look ahead and you've got the Raptors,

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 1>the Seltics along road trip at the end of the month,

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.559
<v Speaker 1>So very quickly it's going to be back to business

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>stateside for the team. Oh absolutely. And Toronto has had

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the six Ers number. I mean, the Sixers gained that

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 1>victory last year in January at the Center with great

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>defense down the stretch on Kyle Lowry by both Joel

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 1>and Robert Covington, memory serves, but they've dominated the overall

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>headed head series with the Sixers. In your right, Sixers

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 1>had won four games in a row, but lose this

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>one here. Coming back to Toronto, play Toronto, go to Boston,

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:32.039
<v Speaker 1>later San Antonio, at Oklahoma, at Milwaukee, so it's not

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>easy there again, there's no easy path. That might let

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>up sometimes when you play certain teams at home. But

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers have been playing well, but tonight it unraveled

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>in a hurry and Boston ended up steamrolling them. Here

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>in London. Tom McGinnis had an exceptional call from the

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>O two arena. We will hear his highlights coming up, Tom,

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and thank you very much ye experience. Thank you Brian

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.840
<v Speaker 1>great job. Seventy six Ers follow the Boston Celtics here

<v Speaker 1>England at the O two Arena for the annual NBA

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>London Game, the eighth straight year a regular season game

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA played at this venue, and the Sixers,

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of international talent on their roster, facing

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>a likely similarly constructed team of the Boston Celtics, which

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>just so happened to be a big time rival out

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>of the Atlantic Division. Brian Seltzer with you final segment

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>of our postgame coverage from here. Devin Gibbons is standing

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 1>by and we'll get to him in just a moment.

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to Tom McGinnis's highlight calls the Sixers bidding

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>for a fifth straight win, Boston going for their seventh

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>in row, and JJ Reddick on foreign soil on a

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>tear early Hi Red has it pull up from the

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>top of the key. Short note, JJ on the run

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Reddick with a rebound Reddick on the boom, Reddick stops Buyer,

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>freeball bank. It's good a Sixers with a seven zip lead.

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>How to transition? JJ Reddick floats it up and dails

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>it the beginning of a stretch in which Reddick snapped

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.240
<v Speaker 1>off the six consecutive made baskets, and he was a

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>big reason why the Sixers went into quarter number two

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>with some momentum two twenty three twenty one Sixers led

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the entire way. Here's a lot of hooker and a

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 1>nice bead by Reddick and tremmor worker down the outside

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>cat just head guides it in all in one motion.

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Here's Kyrie, every buck by bead swatted by Joel and

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.560
<v Speaker 1>here cup d J McConnell. He's one on three. He

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.439
