Speaker 1: search seventy Sixers podcast wherever you get your pods, you're
Speaker 1: listening to Rewind. They'll listen back on press conferences, highlights
Speaker 1: and analysis from the seventy Sixers, previous game over time
Speaker 1: scrimmage basketball for the seventy Sixers dann at Walt Disney
Speaker 1: World Tonight, they'll lose to the Dallas Mavericks in an
Speaker 1: ot scrimmage one eighteen, one and fifteen. I'm Brian Seltzer.
Speaker 1: The postgame show. Sixers scrimmage schedule is done with a
Speaker 1: record of one and two. I think in things like
Speaker 1: this when it comes to scrimmage or exhibition player, if
Speaker 1: we're putting it in the context of something like the preseason,
Speaker 1: you try to look at things holistically, the big picture
Speaker 1: themes that you were able to pull and string across
Speaker 1: multiple performances, various subplots that could project out to what
Speaker 1: we might see when the games start for real, which
Speaker 1: in this situation is going to be on Saturday against
Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers. And all in all, I thought it
Speaker 1: was a really strong foundation that the Sixers set over
Speaker 1: these three games in their scrimmage play to get ready
Speaker 1: for the seeding games on Saturday versus Indie. Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: for the better part across the three games in scrimmage
Speaker 1: competition was really really good to Bias Harris a total
Speaker 1: of fifty two points across the Sixers three scrimmage games,
Speaker 1: including a game high twenty eight points tonight. He was fantastic.
Speaker 1: Al Horford had sharp moments as well, and I think
Speaker 1: just about everyone whom the seventy Sixers might likely have
Speaker 1: to count upon at some point in the seeding games
Speaker 1: and in the playoffs they had their moments as well.
Speaker 1: Sixers loose the Mavericks tonight in ot in a scrimmage
Speaker 1: one eighteen to one fifteen. They trailed by as many
Speaker 1: as fifteen points, went up by as much as ten
Speaker 1: in the second half, a back and fourth game that
Speaker 1: ultimately went to the MAVs. I believe we might have
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris on zoom, and if we do, we will
Speaker 1: go to the veteran to finish the twenty eight points
Speaker 1: and eleven rebounds. What's considered the regular season with a
Speaker 1: new and specifically a new starting lineup, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, coming into this new starting lineup. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is our condition and so I thought
Speaker 1: that we came into Orlando with a good base of
Speaker 1: conditioning and being able to get out and run and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we're going to continue to feel one
Speaker 1: another's game out there. But I think the pace and
Speaker 1: the flow has been good. It would have been great
Speaker 1: to have Joe up playing, but health is our number
Speaker 1: one goal to get him right and to get him
Speaker 1: ready for when we opened up. So now that's that's
Speaker 1: our horizon. And but I'm, you know, pretty satisfied with
Speaker 1: where we're at right now, and as we'll continue to
Speaker 1: grow and getting better, the biggest thing for us as
Speaker 1: a team is our vibe and how we approached the
Speaker 1: game the game and how we m you know, really
Speaker 1: try to build our chemistry chemistry throughout this time. Some
Speaker 1: thoughts from seventy six or to Bias Harris, who, as
Speaker 1: I said, scored fifty two total points on the three
Speaker 1: seventy six or scrimmage games. He touched upon a lot
Speaker 1: of items that I think we're spot on. The seventy
Speaker 1: sixers were physically prepared to begin resuming play in a live,
Speaker 1: competitive setting. They took the scrimmages seriously, and there's something there.
Speaker 1: You can tell, there's some initial signs of chemistry. There's
Speaker 1: a foundation, a springboard, if you will, for the Sixers
Speaker 1: going into the seeding games on Saturday. Tom mc ginnis
Speaker 1: called the game tonight, Tom, why don't we start with
Speaker 1: a man we just heard from, Tobias Harris twenty eight points,
Speaker 1: took over the third quarter, gave the Sixers a shot.
Speaker 1: And maybe he sometimes gets lost because so much focus
Speaker 1: is paid to guys like Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid.
Speaker 1: But I thought he was really good in these three scrimmages. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And there are times and you
Speaker 1: could tell it with Horford at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: second half, and to a certain extent to Bias, where
Speaker 1: he just can go out and get a basket, and
Speaker 1: not everybody's like that with scoring ability. And one thing,
Speaker 1: Brian that you know we remember about Harris. He's six nine,
Speaker 1: so sometimes he can just back down a player and
Speaker 1: then use his height and get like a dribble pull
Speaker 1: up and for what somebody else that might be a
Speaker 1: difficult shot, he uses that height advantage, that clearance to
Speaker 1: just go up there and get a field goal. He's
Speaker 1: very good at using his body, got a couple of
Speaker 1: and ones in there, and after obviously a shaky first half,
Speaker 1: one in which the Sixers so only scored thirty nine points,
Speaker 1: like I said, with Horford scoring I believe four straight
Speaker 1: field goals and Tobias adding some Ben didn't play in
Speaker 1: the second half, Joel didn't play at all, and those
Speaker 1: two guys kind of put the Sixers in position and
Speaker 1: in the end not unlike the game on Sunday afternoon
Speaker 1: against Oklahoma. The fact that the Sixers loss really has
Speaker 1: no bearing on how they're prepping for the start of
Speaker 1: this and so they made it through the scrimmages and
Speaker 1: Tobias with a very good point there about their health
Speaker 1: and their well being. Obviously it's important to get and
Speaker 1: be ready for the weekend if he's able to go,
Speaker 1: and for the Sixers now to really hone in. They're
Speaker 1: going to have a game every other day for these
Speaker 1: first two weeks. The conclusion, if you will, the regular
Speaker 1: season to get ready for the playoffs, because that's what's important.
Speaker 1: There's still a chance to move up and change the dynamic.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I think the bigger thing
Speaker 1: is for the Sixers to play to the best of
Speaker 1: their ability and get ready for Monday, August seventeenth and
Speaker 1: that first game in Round one of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Speaker 1: So all in all, I thought he made some great
Speaker 1: points and the Sixers, you know, are in a good
Speaker 1: position now to really get set to take on the
Speaker 1: Pacers and start this thing. Anew, Tom, the Sixers are
Speaker 1: in sixth place before seating play begins. They're eight and
Speaker 1: a half games in front of Brooklyn, which is in seventh.
Speaker 1: There's eight seating games, so we know that the basement
Speaker 1: for the Sixers, the worst they could do is the
Speaker 1: sixth seed. But even if they move up, odds are
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna play some combination of Boston, Miami, Indiana,
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. So for the Sixers, I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I think it's about making sure they get
Speaker 1: themselves right. The seating at this point couldn't help. I
Speaker 1: think that that's still there's a lot of variables surrounding that. No,
Speaker 1: you're right, I mean, and I guess, like if you
Speaker 1: really had to pin the Sixers down, I think they
Speaker 1: liked the Boston matchup just because the Celtics may not
Speaker 1: be able to contend within beat and the Sixers won
Speaker 1: three out of four during the regular season series. They
Speaker 1: did win those games, but you know, I could I
Speaker 1: could start to quibble a little bit with that. The
Speaker 1: first game was a not the greatest, most well played
Speaker 1: game in October. Here the Sixers won. The other two
Speaker 1: games the Sixers were able to win Boston had played
Speaker 1: the night before and the Sixers rested, and then the
Speaker 1: fourth game, I think the Sixers were in the back
Speaker 1: to back scenario. Hey, look, Tatum was playing as well
Speaker 1: as anybody in the NBA before the hiatus hit and
Speaker 1: before the season was shut down at the time, and
Speaker 1: Brown and Walker Keimbo certainly with the knee probably a
Speaker 1: little bit better. And it's Boston. There's no that is
Speaker 1: not going to be an easy series at all. I
Speaker 1: felt like, now Miami beat the Sixers three out of four,
Speaker 1: and they came in here and they put the zone
Speaker 1: on the Sixers, they stiming them a little bit. But
Speaker 1: I think I think the Sixers should have won in Miami.
Speaker 1: And you know, look, they got Robinson who could fire,
Speaker 1: the three Nuns playing well, Jimmy Butler's having another great
Speaker 1: season for them, and obviously at a Bio has risen
Speaker 1: to a level where he's an All Star and they
Speaker 1: you know, under Spoilster, they're really good and the Pacers
Speaker 1: are gonna be tough. But again, I think if the
Speaker 1: Sixers are healthy and playing well, then any of those
Speaker 1: teams are going to be obviously a formidable first round opponent.
Speaker 1: But it's it's for the Sixers, you know, to take
Speaker 1: care of business. And I think they can. Clearly they
Speaker 1: could beat any of those teams, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: and that's let's just stop there. And so the seating,
Speaker 1: you know, you want to take care of business and
Speaker 1: try to go seven and one, six and two, win
Speaker 1: them all. Whatever. But I think the most important thing
Speaker 1: is to be playing your best basketball in two weeks
Speaker 1: when that playoff season starts. Well. Putting as always by
Speaker 1: Tom McGuinness. We got a couple of days and then
Speaker 1: we'll do it again. Tom pregame on Saturday before the
Speaker 1: Sixers and the Pace talk to you then, all right night. Thanks.
Speaker 1: Seventy six has fallen overtime in a scrimmage, their last
Speaker 1: scrimmage down to the Bubble in Orlando to the Dallas
Speaker 1: Mavericks by the score of one eighteen to one fifteen.
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris let all scores with twenty eight points. He
Speaker 1: had eleven rebounds for his second double double in three addings.
Speaker 1: Very good scrimmage session for Tobias Harris, al Horford with
Speaker 1: fourteen and Matisse Thible a nice note for him going
Speaker 1: into a seating game play. He had fourteen points to
Speaker 1: go with two assists and three steals for the rookie,
Speaker 1: who I think has looked like he's a lot more
Speaker 1: settled and in control since the team has come back
Speaker 1: to action after a long hiatus. Just to make sure
Speaker 1: nobody missed basketball too much, the seventy sixers in the
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks going the distance in overtime in the scrimmage
Speaker 1: finale for the Sixers. Sixers got off to a little
Speaker 1: bit of a shaky start in the first quarter of
Speaker 1: tonight's game, had a real tough time finding their stroke,
Speaker 1: but in the second quarter their rookie helped get them
Speaker 1: going Dallas with a ball Fible knocks away, he steals,
Speaker 1: He's got a runout, put it in the bun a
Speaker 1: two head jab. Thible already two steals. At Ricky Carlyle
Speaker 1: wants a time out for the MAVs Sixers cut it
Speaker 1: to ten. Sixers trailed by eleven after a quarter twenty
Speaker 1: four to thirteen, but that situation made it a twenty
Speaker 1: eight eighteen game. The Sixers trying to climb the hill
Speaker 1: back into contention and with the first half winding down,
Speaker 1: a Matisse Stible once again made his impact felt two
Speaker 1: for six. Harris with a file that extended to get
Speaker 1: his hardaway upbake cooble move six nine. Tobias Harris can't
Speaker 1: get it, but he does get his own miss wrap
Speaker 1: around to Norbelle. No, he shoots it. He got Porsicas
Speaker 1: buying the ball fake on the pass, and Tobias Harris
Speaker 1: with a putback off his own miss. He's got sixteen
Speaker 1: that of course no Matisstible, but Tobias Harris. Tobias Harrison
Speaker 1: Thible to the top performers for the Sixers in this
Speaker 1: one that brought the Sixers within a seven point deficit
Speaker 1: forty six thirty nine. They trailed forty thirty nine at intermission.
Speaker 1: In the opening moments of the third quarter of the
Speaker 1: seventy sixers, deciding to rest, Bend Simmons Thibal put in
Speaker 1: with the top group. He converted on an Alube slam
Speaker 1: from shake Milton al Horford then started a string of
Speaker 1: seven straight points. Dorian Finny Smith guard Terris Harris would
Speaker 1: have left their girl picked it up. Horford into the
Speaker 1: late post, turns jump hook and he is scoring at
Speaker 1: will a basket on Donchech timeout Dallas at a two
Speaker 1: point game, beg al has a ride. Fifty to forty
Speaker 1: eight was the score then, and moments after the timeout
Speaker 1: was over, the Sixers tied it up Harris with the
Speaker 1: bounce guarded by Dorian Finny Smith the durable six seven
Speaker 1: to veteran here's a shot by Tobias off the glad,
Speaker 1: oh and then on to be a team. Dorian Finny
Speaker 1: Smith fisted the ball, piling it off the deck and
Speaker 1: he's really met at himself, not at the call as
Speaker 1: Tobias with a very difficult rugged field goal leaning in
Speaker 1: contact initiated by Harris. So not only did Tobias convert
Speaker 1: the n one and the successful three point play, he
Speaker 1: had the technical free throw to give the Sixers a
Speaker 1: two point leading. Tis Thible with a third quarter winding down,
Speaker 1: making sure the Sixers stayed the front Bible and Burke
Speaker 1: to exchange it, but Tis for three good Matistible with
Speaker 1: his fifth basket his second three and Dallas takes time
Speaker 1: as the Sixers go up by three seventy three to
Speaker 1: seventy and the Sixers would lead an eighty to seventy
Speaker 1: four going into the fourth quarter. Of the Sixers with
Speaker 1: forty one points in the third. In the fourth, Dallas
Speaker 1: came back tied up the score at one oh three
Speaker 1: descended to overtime with a lot of reserves getting some
Speaker 1: playing time. Fur Con Corkmise had a bit of a
Speaker 1: tough time with the shot of the first two scrimmages,
Speaker 1: but he got a timely one late in tonight's matchup.
Speaker 1: But Tis slide he gets at the first had a
Speaker 1: head and out a fur gun park Bis with a slap,
Speaker 1: fur Cod breakaway one hand right hand jam credit Bible
Speaker 1: and then Burt with a down quart he fur come
Speaker 1: with the finishing yep, a close range shout of the basket.
Speaker 1: A good way to try and get yourself going. That
Speaker 1: gave the Sixers a one point one nine one oh eight,
Speaker 1: but they did not have enough tonight to hold off
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks, as they ultimately did. The Sixers go
Speaker 1: on to lose their scrimmage finale by the score of
Speaker 1: one eighteen to one. Fifteen Sixers shot thirty seven percent
Speaker 1: from the field of Mavericks just over forty percent, the
Speaker 1: first six or opponent to shoot better than forty percent
Speaker 1: in a scrimmage game Dallas with twelve three pointers. The
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers were eleven of thirty seven for a
Speaker 1: little bit under thirty percent from outside the arc. Sixers
Speaker 1: outrebounded Dallas sixty seven to fifty six. The Sixers turn
Speaker 1: the ball over only eleven times. They only forced twelve
Speaker 1: turnovers in tonight's matchup. Twenty eight points eleven rebounds for
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris, his second double double and three scrimmages is
Speaker 1: twenty eight points, where a game high. He was ten
Speaker 1: of twenty from the field, three to six from outside
Speaker 1: the arc, and five for six from three. He also
Speaker 1: had two assists fourteen points for al Horford. On six
Speaker 1: or fifteen shooting, he knocked down two three pointers. The
Speaker 1: bench crews stepping up, they got a lot of playing
Speaker 1: time fifteen for Alec Burke's in just under thirty one minutes,
Speaker 1: thirteen and ten four. Matisse thibal I beg your part

Speaker 1: fourteen points four rebounds. He also had three steals. In
Speaker 1: tonight's game. Ben Simmons finished with four points on two
Speaker 1: for ten shooting, nine rebounds and a steal in just
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of play. Shake Milton Josh Richardson each with
Speaker 1: five points for the Sixers. They will turn the things
Speaker 1: now to the seating phase of the NBA restart. They
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to move up in the standings right away.
Speaker 1: Both the Sixers and the Indiana Pacers have records of
Speaker 1: thirty nine and twenty six when they'll take the floor
Speaker 1: on Saturday. The Pacers with a five seed at the
Speaker 1: time of the stoppage by virtue of the tiebreaker, but
