WEBVTT - Playoff Pod: Episode 23 - Round 2 Game 7 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 Guyko. Time now to listen back to reaction 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:10.360 from the team's most recent postseason game. It came down 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:13.800 to the final seconds. Great theater, great drama, and that's 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.360 what you ask for in a game seven. Unfortunately, the 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.840 Philadelphia seventy Sixers due not come out on top, ending 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:24.000 their twenty eighteen nineteen campaign, losing ninety two to ninety 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.080 in Game seven in Toronto thanks to a great play 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.640 by a great player and Kawhi Leonard. Hello all, welcome 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.680 to the Sixers postgame show here on the Sixers Radio Network. 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.920 I am Divine givens here with you. We will reconnect 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.559 and in just a second with Tom McGinnis live from 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.480 Scotia Bank Arena. We have already heard from head coach 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.720 Brett Brown, losing coach Head coach Brett Brown, as the 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.480 season has ended, and tonight again one more time, ninety 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.760 two ninety the Toronto Raptors on a last second shot 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.880 by Kawhi Leonard along the baseline, fading away with the 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.800 contestant Joel embiid gets the role, gets the bounce and 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.360 the role to finish off the seventy six twenty eighteen 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:05.920 nineteen season and something that it was a great run 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.920 this year, a great opportunity for the seventy six or 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.440 some things that will certainly talk about that could have 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:15.160 played out in a different way and maybe the overall 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.520 game would have turned out differently, but unfortunately not the 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.679 case for this basketball team tonight. As the season now 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.560 comes to an end in Game seven, let's now head 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.840 back to Scotia Bank Arena to check in with the 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.280 Sixers radio voice Tom Againnis and Tom. As we start off, 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.720 I can't help but to really jump right towards the 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.480 end at the three thirteen mark with the time out 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.280 happened by Philadelphia after miss shot by the Toronto Raptors 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.760 eighty five, eighty five and immediately come out and a 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:49.040 turnover on possession. And then another situation right after a 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.680 good defensive play, good defensive series by the Sixers, another 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.520 turnover and as you pointed out, they did not make 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:59.120 it and make it down in the paint area to 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:03.000 at least get a shot off and give themselves an opportunity. Well, 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.000 you're right, and it comes down to execution. And let's 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.080 be honest, they you know they they had a guy 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.040 who's one of the great closers in the game, Leonard 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.440 forty one points makes the game winning shot. And to 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.639 your point, the Sixers with a Gamel and I were 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:21.160 unable to get to clean execution where they weren't able 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.240 to get a really good shot, and the you know, 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.880 Leonard Kawhi Gasol cutting off Jimmy Butler and the Sixers 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.079 exchanging that ball back and forth, and then Jimmy tried 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.760 to step back shot on Mark Gasol and Gasol got 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.040 got a piece, so you know, they closed out. And 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.919 when you're playing at thirty five feet away getting double teamed, 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.359 it's it's very difficult. Let's just go to their head coach, 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.120 Nick Nurse for a brief moment here he encapsulates the win. 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:51.240 From their perspective, it looks like it's going in. Let's 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:52.680 think it was going in the whole time. To me, 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:57.200 I thought it was, but just again, I thought it was. 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.600 Obviously it's a nice lucky bounce, right, but I thought 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.920 we were very unlucky for a lot of that game. 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.720 So it came back to us a little bit balanced out. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.720 Kyle didn't have Kyle didn't seem to have the greatest 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.680 scoring nights, but his contribution would have been as good 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:16.320 as he's had all year. Maybe the way he played 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.839 all night. Yeah, I really was impressed with his defense, Doug. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.760 I thought he was. He was being so alert and 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.839 aggressive on his switch outs, right, You just every time 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:31.320 you saw an opening coming there, he was taking it 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.760 away and obviously had that huge steal. And I think 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.000 we had back to back shot clock violations and that 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.440 was getting ready to be a third one, and he 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.120 got to it just in the nick of time. So 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.640 he was again he was. He played a lot of minutes. 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.120 I think he played the whole second half, and he was. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.800 He was great down the stretch defensively. That's Nick Nurse, 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.560 the Raptors coach to Vinyl throw it back. Yeah, I 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.160 just want to give you Lowry's numbers. He played it 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.480 just over thirty nine minutes, like coach said, he played 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.560 a lot of time. So he had ten points, six assists, 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:04.200 sixte bounds, two steals, he took two charges. He read 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.600 that play. It's Kyle Lowry. Yes, he's the guy who 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.200 loved to hate as an opponent, but he is an awful, good, 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.360 winning basketball player, and his time here in Toronto has 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:18.039 been incredible. He's made the All Star team five times 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.760 in a row. His most recent seventh game thirty five 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.000 points against the Heat. He knew he wasn't going to 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.160 have those numbers, but they don't win that game without 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:31.159 his crucial performance and the way he stepped up and 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.160 made plays for them absolutely and protecting the basketball as well, 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.480 only two turnovers in that thirty mount nine minutes in 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.200 three seconds. Time again his life from Scotia Bank Arena 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.680 after the Sixers lost ninety two ninety time. The other 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.279 thing that we have to jump to, the Sixers really 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.120 controlled the glass in this series for a majority of 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.800 the games, maybe five out of the six games before tonight. 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.720 But Toronto getting the better of the seventy six is 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.719 specifically on the offensive glass sixteen to five that advantaged, 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.200 and some key buckets coming off of those and some 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.720 rebounds down to stretch. Yeah. No, and that that is 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:07.440 a direct carryover or residual carryover of having to double Leonard. 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.760 Like I was saying in our postgame chat with Serge Ibaka, 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.200 so Joelle is kind of rotating roaming. He's he's not 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:19.520 the primary guy guarding Kawhi oftentimes. That was Jimmy or 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:24.000 Ben mostly those two, specifically Simmons. But when you're mark 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.240 is embeat is watching him and trying to stay close. 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.360 If there's a block opportunity, he goes and then he's 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.719 got to relocate and come back and get a body 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.520 on Ibacca. Well, Ibaki a surge is just you know, 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.120 so fast off his feet and he's reading. As an 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.200 offensive rebounder, you're finding the gaps. You know, your your 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.120 peripheral visions where the ball is, but you're reading. And 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.039 he found those openings and he was crucial for them. 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:51.640 I mean that that second chance points category was they won. 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.800 They won that number by six, and they had fifteen 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.960 offensive rebounds. So you're right through the large majority of 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.000 the series six or with the length and the you know, 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.279 the overall size and depth, it hurt Toronto, but not 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.960 in this game when it mattered most absolutely. And the 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.080 turnover battle once again won by the Toronto Raptors with 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.400 ten turnovers for them seventeen for the seventy six ers. 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.159 They a seven point advantage in terms of points off 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.760 thirteen to twenty one. The seventy six ers not really 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.039 capitalizing I mean part I mean the Toronto Raptors are capitalizing. 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:28.279 It did capitalize off the six is miscus tonight? Yeah? 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.080 They did? But divan and again this is after such 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.040 a heartbreaking ending. You know, you're looking, you're at least 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.280 looking for overtime. Maybe fans don't want to hear this, 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.640 but as close as that was, as inefficient as these 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.840 Sixers were down the stretch, it's the first quarter, you 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.040 know what I mean. And that was two and a 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.200 half hours ago. Like I said, it may not be 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.680 you know exactly what people are focusing on. But the 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.520 Sixers started out two of thirteen. They scored thirteen point. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.160 How many times were we at the center with the 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.120 thirty nine point first quarter? Thirteen points in the biggest 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.360 game of the year, And so that and the only 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.279 thing that made it halfway palatable is that the Raptors 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.960 were almost as equally inefficient. I mean they it was 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.040 seven to six, the Sixers actually took the lead, and 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.720 then Toronto scored eating a row, and that would be 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.520 another thing. In the third quarter, the Sixers scores sixteen 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.440 points in a row. They were feeling great, but then 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.800 the Raptors close out the quarter on a seventeen to 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:31.160 seven run. So We've heard a thousand times over it's 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.120 a game of runs. Well, they had the most pronounce 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.680 they had an answer, and that's what Brett Brown talked 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.200 about pregame, and that is there will be a defining 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.920 moment and the team that pushes through and as Nick 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.840 Nurse said, and gets lucky will win. And that's what happened. 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.080 They persevered, they were better down the stretch. They got 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.360 unlucky bounce from an all world player in Kawhi Leonard 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.720 with forty one points. He had forty five, thirty nine, 0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.600 forty one, thirty three. He was the difference in the series. 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.679 And that's why you go out again. Both these teams 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.960 made major moves right before the season, during the season 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.720 at all for this point and the seventy sixers, you know, 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.600 they made big moves as well, but Kawhi Leonard comes 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.200 in and he was the difference in this playoff series. 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.280 Final one for you. Back to back fifty win seasons 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.840 for this basketball team. The acquisitions that you point out 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.480 that were made during the season in both November and 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:29.040 at the trade dint let trade deadline in February time. 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.480 Just a quick overview of another exciting season and what's 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.320 to come well, for sure, I mean the Sixers, that's 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.719 the thing. I mean, it takes a little while to 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:42.040 kind of come down. It's a heartbreaking defeat for the Sixers, 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.439 but as you say, Brett Brown, back to back fifty 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.640 one win seasons, that hadn't been done, Like there's only 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.800 a few guys, Billy Cunningham, Alex Hannum, it just hasn't 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.680 been done. Larry Brown wasn't able to do that. So 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.160 certainly ranking up there with two of the best back 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.480 to back seasons to get to this stage, and yet 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.280 I think the aspirations were a lot higher by everybody around, 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.480 both with the team and around in terms of the 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.200 fan base, and understandably so, I mean this was a 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.640 potent first five and yes they did not have a 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.520 lot of time together, but other than the playoffs, and 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.120 that's the other thing. I mean, there's a bit of 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.720 an asterisk here with this playoff within Bead and the 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.920 fact that he wasn't one hundred percent. That's tough when 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.680 your best player is not at his best because of illness. 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.400 I don't think anyone saw that coming. But for the Sixers, 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.120 considering where they were and now where they've come, as 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.880 Brett Brown said, these young players, everybody, I mean, as 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.240 a fan base, we're not going to forget. But this 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.840 will be a game they'll they'll never forget the Sixers. 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.760 They certainly played better in Round two than as opposed 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.840 to last year. And I'll just say one thing. You know, 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.440 last year when the Sixers lost the two games in Boston, 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.679 they come back home and the third game was in 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.160 Philadelphia on a satur Day, like almost a year ago, right, 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.800 and it got away. Boston makes plays, Sixers got out 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.120 maneuvered a little bit there down the stretch. You could 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:13.400 picture the Horford plays. Yes, well in this series, Game 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.800 four was there and the Sixers turned it over, and 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.720 that they win that game, and then they play like 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.400 they did in games say who no, they might not 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.640 have been a Game seven. That Game four, to me 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.680 is commensurate with Game three in the second round last 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.600 year against Boston. And that to me, like I said 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.280 at the time, the one that got away, It comes 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.160 down to the the last second shot here in the in 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:40.160 the incredible finish. But again, if you go back and 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.719 you get into the guts of a series, that is 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.640 one I think the Sixers had they won that game 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.400 and money taken on a different, a different ending. Well 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.760 the time. I believe this is my third year contributing 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.800 on pre and post and majority of the post game show. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.680 I cannot thank you and Brian Seltz are enough for 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.440 the opportunity and another fun season. Thank you so much 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:01.439 out at the Bond. Thank you did a great job. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.520 Appreciate it and thank you. Save trip back and we'll 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.280 certainly connect somewhere down the line with Tom McGinnis. As 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:10.240 the twenty eighteen nineteen season comes to an n last 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.840 second shot by Kawhi Leonard.
