Speaker 1: You're listening to rewind. They'll listen back on press conferences,
Speaker 1: highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. The
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers may have been short on rest, but they
Speaker 1: had enough to continue their winning ways, spending off the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Pelicans one sixteen twenty nine. How are you on?
Speaker 1: Brian Seltzer, seventy six Ers highest season high with their
Speaker 1: twentieth win. It was their fifth straight. They're now the
Speaker 1: last unbeaten home team in the NBA, improving a fourteen
Speaker 1: and zero. Down here at the center, we'll join in
Speaker 1: progress the victorious head coach Brett Brown, and back to
Speaker 1: bad games. Um, that's how I see it. They're hacking
Speaker 1: back at the end of the game. Just tell them
Speaker 1: I was actually okay that My mind was more about time,
Speaker 1: you know, like the clock kept stopping. The clock kept stopping.
Speaker 1: It was more of that than than than anything. And
Speaker 1: so you know, my uh belief is he's going to
Speaker 1: have to go through some of that to get where
Speaker 1: we want to deliver him. I feel a responsibility to
Speaker 1: do that. And you weigh that up of well, you know,
Speaker 1: you got to make sure you have the game as
Speaker 1: secure as you can and I felt confident that that
Speaker 1: he was going to be okay. And what I didn't
Speaker 1: like is the fact that the clock just kept stopping.
Speaker 1: I didn't like that. And so one time we had
Speaker 1: a possession where Jay Rich had it. After that we
Speaker 1: gave him the ball. The decision today, yeah, UM, just
Speaker 1: we wanted to see what we have in him, Like
Speaker 1: we had a little taste in New York. I wanted
Speaker 1: to see more um. And I thought he was really good.
Speaker 1: You know, I thought he was really good, like he's
Speaker 1: a he is a you know, sort of neuralands like
Speaker 1: to me rim protected shop blocker, UM, quick off the floor,
Speaker 1: I thought he. I thought he was good seven of
Speaker 1: the last eight. I think Tobias has had at least twenty.
Speaker 1: What kind of case is he making to being All Star?
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is repeat and write what you
Speaker 1: just said, and there it is. You don't need much
Speaker 1: more ammunition. I mean, he's been so steady and just responsible,
Speaker 1: like reliable, you know, go to guy. And I put
Speaker 1: him kind of in a bunch of different spots middle
Speaker 1: pick and roll. I saw three balls making his free throws.
Speaker 1: You know, plays that back down pound pound game and
Speaker 1: can jump over people, smaller people. He's seven. A hell
Speaker 1: of a year that had him a fourth quarter, had
Speaker 1: a little bit of that on Sunday against Toronto. Are
Speaker 1: you surprised that this stuff pops up time to time?
Speaker 1: Start a few guys, Not at all. I'm not surprised
Speaker 1: at all. I'm not surprised. You know, you got Matisse
Speaker 1: flying down the court, he gets the steal and he
Speaker 1: throws it behind the back pass to Ben you know
Speaker 1: where you just go, probably dunk it or come to
Speaker 1: a jump stop. It's just, you know, they're not perfect,
Speaker 1: and we just haven't. I think this is our eleventh
Speaker 1: now still it's our tenth game out or whatever we
Speaker 1: played twenty six where we haven't had our team starting.
Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised, and neither should you all be.
Speaker 1: And I really mean that there are some things that
Speaker 1: I think, no matter how much you played together or
Speaker 1: the ages, I can't honestly look at you guys and
Speaker 1: say that, like then fouls and some of the other
Speaker 1: stuff that's not smart, that's on me and that's on them.
Speaker 1: But to be surprised with some of the other stuff
Speaker 1: not really. Seventy six Ers head coach Brett Brown after
Speaker 1: his team reaches the twenty win mark on the air.
Speaker 1: Scanning down the rest of the NBA standings, there are
Speaker 1: few teams that are in that company with the seventy
Speaker 1: six Ers. There is no team league that is left
Speaker 1: undefeated at home, with the exception of your seventy Sixers.
Speaker 1: The Sixers are now in second place in the Eastern Conference,
Speaker 1: trailing just the Milwaukee Bucks, the only other twenty win
Speaker 1: team in the East. And there's only one other twenty
Speaker 1: win team in the NBA, and that would be the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Lakers. So the seventy Sixers in very select company.
Speaker 1: And while they again might not have had a ton
Speaker 1: of rest coming into this game tonight given their signature
Speaker 1: performance at ted Garden in Boston last night, they did
Speaker 1: have enough talent and they did make enough plays and
Speaker 1: did grab enough boards to get this thing across the
Speaker 1: finish line tonight. Thirty one points for Tobias Harris twelve
Speaker 1: of twenty from the field. You heard that response that
Speaker 1: Brett Brown had to a question about Tobias Harris's All
Speaker 1: Star candidacy pretty much summed it up. He has been
Speaker 1: so efficient as of late, at twenty points or better
Speaker 1: in now seven of his last eight games, twenty four
Speaker 1: points apiece for Joel and beating Ben Simmons, each finishing
Speaker 1: with a double double. Ben had eleven assists and Joel
Speaker 1: had a eleven rebounds. The bench did some really nice
Speaker 1: work tonight. James Nis the third ten points on four
Speaker 1: of six shooting, two three from outside the arc, and
Speaker 1: Norville pell six points, five rebounds, three or four shooting
Speaker 1: in just under twelve minutes. He had two blocks within
Speaker 1: his first three minutes of play, and just a feisty,
Speaker 1: energetic presence spelling Joel embe in a night that Al
Speaker 1: Horford was not available for a second straight game. Seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers are at the twenty win mark. They're twenty and seven,
Speaker 1: and as Brett said, they've only played ten games, with
Speaker 1: their opening nights starting five. It seems like a good sign.
Speaker 1: Seventy Sixers defeat the New Orleans Pelicans one sixteen one
Speaker 1: on nine. The final scored Tom againis called this one
Speaker 1: tonight seventy six ers. Tom got off to a great
Speaker 1: start thirty nine points a new season high for a
Speaker 1: first quarter, and they were able to ride that. But
Speaker 1: you know, New Orleans came back. They went up by
Speaker 1: one third quarter, and who wasn't none other than Tobias
Speaker 1: Harris who really got the Sixers gone right, and that
Speaker 1: was that started a spell after that one point deficit
Speaker 1: right prior to that was the first tie, that was
Speaker 1: the first lead change. But the Sixers responded with a
Speaker 1: twenty two to eleven run. And you're right, Tobias did it.
Speaker 1: And I thought Coach Brown, you know, as Apropos nailed it.
Speaker 1: And that is pound pound in other words, Tobias dribbling down,
Speaker 1: then able to square up, lift over people and score.
Speaker 1: And he's been so reliable and consistent in that area
Speaker 1: and getting it done. You know, went in there against
Speaker 1: taller players in haze and sometimes Oka four and Favors
Speaker 1: didn't play much in the second half, but scoring the
Speaker 1: ball in the guts in the game. And then it
Speaker 1: got a little ugly. And when you when you consider
Speaker 1: forty four combined free throws in the fourth quarter, as
Speaker 1: Brett Brown was talking about a lot of stoppages, that
Speaker 1: clock just wouldn't keep running and it made it difficult,
Speaker 1: and then they were never able to get it to
Speaker 1: a single possession, maybe it was three at one point.
Speaker 1: The Sixers were still able to you know, keep in front,
Speaker 1: but they missed some free throws down the stretch and fouled,
Speaker 1: and that made a little problematic. But even though they were,
Speaker 1: you know, running on fumes a little bit down the stretch,
Speaker 1: they were able to prevail and win the game one
Speaker 1: sixteen one on nine. And like I said, isn't it ironic?
Speaker 1: It's almost the same score as it was last night
Speaker 1: when the Sixes beat Boss and albeit in a much
Speaker 1: different form and setting in consequence, if you will, but
Speaker 1: a huge victory for the Sixers. Sixers outlast the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Pelicans won sixteen one on nine. There were I
Speaker 1: think Tom, first of all, it's ten o'clock and we're
Speaker 1: just getting in this segment. We're usually about fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: ahead on a typical night. I think there were in
Speaker 1: the twenties total free throw attempts in the final minute
Speaker 1: forty five regulation. The seventy Sixers closed the game eleven
Speaker 1: or fourteen from the line, which was critical. Yeah, again,
Speaker 1: it seems like they missed a ton, but to your point,
Speaker 1: they didn't. I know, Josh missed a couple, Ben missed one,
Speaker 1: and Joel missed one, but they were able to finish
Speaker 1: it out down the stretch and preserve the victory. And again,
Speaker 1: as Brett Brown said, you know, hey, look, these guys
Speaker 1: aren't perfect, because it hasn't gone perfectly. And yet here
Speaker 1: we are through twenty seven games, and the Sixers have
Speaker 1: won money. And you know, they've piled up these winning streaks.
Speaker 1: Now it's five in a row and what now ten
Speaker 1: of the last twelve. Now they have the second best
Speaker 1: record in the East. And again there hasn't been a
Speaker 1: lot of continuity with the starting lineup olling ten games
Speaker 1: all told, as Horford sits out for the second consecutive game,
Speaker 1: and a much needed day of rest, early turnaround as
Speaker 1: they got to get up there to New York with
Speaker 1: everything that's going on with the Army Navy game here tomorrow,
Speaker 1: and you go to Brooklyn, they'll be on night number
Speaker 1: two of a back to back, and that's what happens.
Speaker 1: I think Boston was affected a little bit last night.
Speaker 1: The Sixers were affected a little bit tonight. There are
Speaker 1: fewer back to backs, as we've talked about over the
Speaker 1: course of the season, and yet when you have one,
Speaker 1: it's it's still an issue, you know, whether you want
Speaker 1: to you know, coaches try to deny it a little
Speaker 1: bit issue. Might not be the right phraseology, but it's
Speaker 1: still a consideration. We'll put it that way, and I
Speaker 1: think it's showed here tonight for the Sixers. There was
Speaker 1: a period Brian with about one six or seven, maybe
Speaker 1: eight minutes into the fourth the Sixers had four field
Speaker 1: goals and four turnovers, and they didn't turn it over much,
Speaker 1: only eleven times. They're getting better at that, but obviously
Speaker 1: not very efficient. Then we get into that slew of
Speaker 1: free throws that we touched on. But again, this New
Speaker 1: Orleans team, Okay, yeah, they've lost eleven in a row.
Speaker 1: They only won two road games, but you can tell
Speaker 1: and Drew Holland they didn't have his a game tonight
Speaker 1: over six from three, but Ingram and jj and they
Speaker 1: got some guys that could score the ball and Josh
Speaker 1: Hart and double figures, and so they just haven't been
Speaker 1: able to string together, you know, consistent minutes during the
Speaker 1: course of a game to get off the schneide a
Speaker 1: little bit with this double digit losing streak, but certainly capable,
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna win their share of games,
Speaker 1: and hopefully for them, they get zioned back and they
Speaker 1: get a little bit more excitement going and we'll see
Speaker 1: where it goes from there. But a nice, hard fought victory,
Speaker 1: taking care of business win by the Sixers. Amen to
Speaker 1: that one sixteen win and on the final I will
Speaker 1: leave you with this, Tom McGinnis, Steve Brooklyn, that's certainly
Speaker 1: a huge off season storyline in the NBA, adding Kyrie
Speaker 1: Irving and of course Kevin Durant. Durant who knows when
Speaker 1: he'll return. Kyrie Irving remains out. They've been up and down,
Speaker 1: you know, and Spencer Dinwoodie has been the guy who's
Speaker 1: leading them and scoring were obviously familiar with him, and
Speaker 1: given how the playoffs went last year, and Sam goes
Speaker 1: for Carousel vert but Brooklyn tough place, and I thought
Speaker 1: that playoff series kind of set the tone for a
Speaker 1: rivalry that could add a few layers once broke down,
Speaker 1: Oh no doubt. And they're they're they're not an easy team.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Dinwoodie, he has been their leader. You know.
Speaker 1: You go back to that series and you know, Brooklyn
Speaker 1: wins the first game here in Philadelphia, the Sixers come
Speaker 1: back and hold Serve it's tied at one. Then you
Speaker 1: go out there it's I believe game three on a Saturday,
Speaker 1: and Mike Scott maybe that was, but still that thing
Speaker 1: was right in the balance and it's deflected ball tip
Speaker 1: by and b to Scott and that thing. You know
Speaker 1: that Sixers win the game because of that shot. So
Speaker 1: it's that close. And you know, said Kyrie has been
Speaker 1: out for a long time. I'd be surprised if Kevin
Speaker 1: Durant plays this year. But yeah, no, and Ken Atkinson's
Speaker 1: done a tremendous job with that team. Hard place to play,
Speaker 1: and you're right, it's the first of four matchups, So
Speaker 1: look to six Ers. You know, I think more than anything,
Speaker 1: just to get the rest and to get ready. And
Speaker 1: even though they you know, they won twenty games, there's
Speaker 1: certainly some areas where they need to get a little
Speaker 1: bit better. And I think in to get in beat
Speaker 1: and Simmons rolling at the same time, then look out
Speaker 1: cookout because both of these guys have had some really
Speaker 1: big nights, including Joel last night, Ben earlier in the
Speaker 1: week that that Cleveland game stands out, and Tobias has
Speaker 1: just been so steady. You get out back into the mix.
Speaker 1: Josh Richardson I thought played really well here tonight, and
Speaker 1: the six Ers are gonna get going. You got these
Speaker 1: bench guys as your pointing out Brian about the three
Speaker 1: pointers with his reserves and now Matisse into the mix.
Speaker 1: It's going to be exciting as you get into the
Speaker 1: middle portion of the schedule. Tom mcgannis will have the
Speaker 1: call on Sunday early start at six o'clock. Tom speak
Speaker 1: with you, then thank you. Buy seventy six ers over
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Pelicans won sixteen in one O nine.
Speaker 1: I'm Brian Seltzer and here are the details. Seventy sixers.
Speaker 1: Coming off a signature early season performance last night, oh
Speaker 1: win at TD Bank Garden. They were looking to continue
Speaker 1: momentum and they hit their stride in the first quarter
Speaker 1: thanks to a spark from the bench walker with it
Speaker 1: to Juliel Olkaport back down to Oltraport against Bell makes
Speaker 1: One's Bikes twice a bone nor Bell sented packing sixers
Speaker 1: in the siventhy guys against slap right down Broad Street
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons with a dumb that made it twenty six
Speaker 1: twenty seventy sixers, and moments later Pell again leaving his imprint.
Speaker 1: Here's a backdoor cut ahead Pell Prejeck Brown and Ingram
Speaker 1: He tried to rock it and Norbell turns him away.
Speaker 1: Here's Betty to the corner in US three boating year.
Speaker 1: It's good and a foul boh Man so great that
Speaker 1: made it twenty nine to twenty to seventy sixers like
Speaker 1: thirty nine twenty five after one. It was their highest
Speaker 1: scoring first quarter of the season. Second quarter, Tobias Harris
Speaker 1: started getting in rhythm. The inside, I'll jumble on with
Speaker 1: Jackson Hayes. There better'd be carefully. He's been proven to
Speaker 1: be a good blocker. And now back to Harris. He
Speaker 1: goes right at Hayes, goes up and in Tobias Harris
Speaker 1: right at the Pelicans inside and he gets the basket.
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris only scored two points in tonight's first quarter.
Speaker 1: He really had it going on after that. The seventy
Speaker 1: sixers at the break led sixty two fifty seven. In
Speaker 1: the third quarter, the Pelicans, they would actually threaten. They
Speaker 1: are those seven of sixteen for three forty three more trades.
Speaker 1: And the Sixers Harris too, are driving Simmons underhead scoop
Speaker 1: by Simmons, He's sword and scored. What a play by
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons seventy Sixers needed that to keep the lead
Speaker 1: seventy to sixty eight, but New Orleans would flip the
Speaker 1: score in its favor seventy one seventy moments later on
Speaker 1: a three point of it. Then Tobias Harris answered with
Speaker 1: a triple of his own, and the seventy sixers were
Speaker 1: often running on a key nine oh run. Simmons skipped
Speaker 1: into no foul, puts it up on ken Rich Williams
Speaker 1: no good rebound, Ennis beyond the ark, James backs up,
Speaker 1: He goes at to Bias, seventeen foot straight away, good
Speaker 1: great second chat, time out pals. They made it seventy
Speaker 1: seven seventy one sixers. They would lead by ten ninety
Speaker 1: two to eighty two after three quarters of play. The
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. If you're either here, you were watching, you
Speaker 1: were listening, you know it was a grind, a slog,
Speaker 1: lots of free throws. But these seventy sixers got what
Speaker 1: they needed in the end to Bias, Harris of the
Speaker 1: ball locked down to buy ribbles back out to the
Speaker 1: right perimeter on brandon Ingrin now takes them into the
Speaker 1: wing area, big posts, right side, and fuck it good
Speaker 1: Harris eleven field goals at eighteen tries and he did
Speaker 1: it himself there with a clock winding down, one of
Speaker 1: the final baskets in the game for these seventy sixers.
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter, there was a total of twenty
Speaker 1: five fouls called and that resulted in forty four free throws.
Speaker 1: The seventy Sixers finished the game eleven to fourteen from
Speaker 1: the line. They win for the twenty fifth time this
Speaker 1: year and for the fifth straight game. Thirty one points
Speaker 1: for Tobias Harris. That was a team high total for him.
Speaker 1: He was twelve of twenty from the field, six of
Speaker 1: seven from the line, twenty four apiece for Joel and
Speaker 1: beat and Ben Simmons. Simmons had eleven assists and Bead
Speaker 1: had eleven rebounds. Josh Winson had eight points in twenty
Speaker 1: six minutes, but we look good in the time that
Speaker 1: he was out there on the floor. Ten points for
Speaker 1: James Ennis the third four of six, shooting two of
Speaker 1: three outside the argument. He Stiebel with a three pointer
Speaker 1: plus a steel and two rebounds. Norvell Pel's six points,
Speaker 1: five rebounds, three block shots in twelve minutes of play.
Speaker 1: Seventy six Ers now twenty and seven. They visited the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets on Sunday at six o'clock. The nets will
Speaker 1: be going up against Toronto tomorrow. You've been listening to Rewind,
Speaker 1: look out for fresh episodes the day after every seventy
Speaker 1: six ers game this season.
