WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 12/22/18 ~ Rewind vs Raptors

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. Seventy

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Sixers have enjoyed a great twenty eighteen in South Philadelphia

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and end of the home schedule on a very positive

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>note tonight toppling the Toronto Raptors. You know, it just

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>sounds good to say that, regardless of who or who

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.639
<v Speaker 1>was not out there for the Raps. Final score tonight

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>one twenty six one O one, seventy Sixers are winners

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.599
<v Speaker 1>against their Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference rivals, and that

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>means the Sixers are now within two and a half

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>games of Toronto for the league, not only in the division,

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>but also the conference standings as well. Ben Simmons was

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:46.160
<v Speaker 1>fantastic tonight, twenty six points, twelve rebounds, twenty second double

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>double of the season, good for fourth best in the NBA.

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Twenty seven points eleven rebounds for Joel and b twenty

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>two for JJ Reddick, a well rounded effort that the

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.279
<v Speaker 1>Sixers received. Also some good minutes from the bench. One

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty six one one the final. My name is Brian Selzer.

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's join in progress right now. Brett Brown and he

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>went to Vegas and you know, played in the showcase,

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and we told that to him to go play basketball,

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.199
<v Speaker 1>with the endgame being we really do see you coming

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.039
<v Speaker 1>into especially the West coast trip and having a chance

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>to play. Um. We came into it tonight when with

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Wilson Um injured and you know, Mike gets those two

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>quick fouls that there was, he was going to be

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>playing regardless of the quick follows, and so it happened sooner.

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>It was calculated, It was pre planned that he was

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>going to play, not to the volume of minutes that

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>he did, but for all those reasons it played out

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>like it did. Caired up with Joel Um. Was his

0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>responsibility tot Um some of that. Some of that. I

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>think you saw him at a five, you saw him

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>at a four. You know, thing changed a little bit

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>when he's either at a four or five. I thought

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.079
<v Speaker 1>that that initially when he came in the game, you know,

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>he made an impact going to bat balls out of here,

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>he jumps twice. Well, he really does jump quick, and

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>he can hit a floor and go back up if

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>he misses the verse one. And I just think that

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:26.799
<v Speaker 1>his activity to riches point the versatility where you can

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>play a five or a four. Was fantastic, and I

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>thought he came in and did some great things to

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>see from him during this trip that would keep him

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>in the rotation after some of the things we just

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>talked about. I feel like his ability to go block

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>a shot at a rim is certainly helpful. I think

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that his ability when he's at a four to switch

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>out on things gives him an out of the layer

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>to play at a five or a four. He is

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a deer in open court. When you watch him run,

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>he really can move. He gets up and down the court,

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.119
<v Speaker 1>and I just loved his energy. He's somebody that we've

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>paid attention to for a while in relation to trying

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 1>to get him on a court, and tonight he did

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.679
<v Speaker 1>a good job and we felt it was his time.

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Seventy Sixers head coach Brett Brown following the Sixers one

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty six one o one win over the Toronto Raptors.

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>A lot of good things from the group for the

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers, led by the performance of three starters Ben Simmons,

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>JJ Reddick and Joel Embiid, all of whom finished in

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the twenty point plus category twelve points, seven rebounds, seven assists,

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>three steals for Jimmy Butler, and the bench really came

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>up strong tonight, sixteen for a con cork Mose Jonah

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Bolden out standing with four points, nine rebounds, four block shots,

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 1>just the third player on the team to reach four

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>block shots in a single game this season. And this

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>was the type of win. It doesn't I know, I

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>get it. Some of the top guys weren't out there

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 1>for the Raptors. No Kawhi Leonard, no Surgebaka, no Jonas valentunist,

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Lowry, he was six or sixteen tonight, didn't play

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>last night in Toronto's win over Cleveland, But just a

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to get a win over the team named the Toronto Raptors.

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>In my opinion, that counts for something in bigger picture

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers. This is a real challenging stretch of the

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>schedule coming up, not just the five consecutive road games

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>that are on the horizon beginning on Tuesday, but after that.

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>If you look at the January schedule, a lot of

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the elite teams and the NBA's are on it. For

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers, just to get some momentum going into an

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 1>important time of the year, big for the Sixers, and

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>they got a nice win tonight one twenty six one

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>oh one. I believe Joel Embiid maybe at the podium.

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Nothing from Joel embid all right, So we will stay

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>tuned and see if perhaps we can get him at

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>some point in time. If not, we will hear from

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>another man of great importance and stature in the seventy

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>sixers community, and that is Tom McGinnis coming up on

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.880

<v Speaker 1>the two thousand eighteen home schedule one for the Sixers.

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Just think about how many outstanding moments there were here

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 1>at the Center in South Philadelphia. You go back to

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 1>last winner when the team really got things rolling, the

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.280
<v Speaker 1>lengthy winning streak, the postseason series against the Miami Heat,

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the promise that this year has begun with, and we

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 1>wrap it up with a win over the Raptors tonight,

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>bringing Tom again as time. Why don't we just start

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 1>with how the team did at home this season? Thirty

0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>nine and five in regular season action going back to

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>January one, and pretty amazing Jordan esque number here. Yeah, center, Wow,

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 1>you put it that way that that's fantastic, right the

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>way they finished last year the season and then obviously

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.559
<v Speaker 1>this year getting sixteen of nineteen here at the Center.

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>That that's what you're looking for with a team that's

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>looking for, you know, consistency and you know, sustained success.

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, one of the building blocks in that whole

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>formula is a home court advantage and the sellout crowds

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the Philadelphia fans, Sixers fans specifically amazing and it shows

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and this team plays well here, you know, and tonight, boy,

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you know again a lot of other franchises refer to

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>their top players as their core four. I think it's

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 1>safe to say the Sixers have that and be Butler,

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Simmons and Reddick, who sometimes is not included in there,

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.159
<v Speaker 1>but he's been a tremendous player for the Sixers. And

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.360
<v Speaker 1>then you know, you get some role performers like TJ

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and work on Quarklas has really come on. Shamon has

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.599
<v Speaker 1>shown a lot, not specifically tonight. Tonight you got a

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>nice standout performance by Jonah boldin a bit of a surprise,

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.679
<v Speaker 1>and it bodes well. But this will be a telling

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 1>trip for the Sixers, certainly against these top teams with Boston, Utah, Portland,

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the Clippers, and then Phoenix has played a lot better

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>as well. Tonight they were in a barn burner and lost.

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>How about this score in three overtimes, Brian, look at

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>that scoreboard. It says the seventh quarter it was one

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 1>sixty four. Washington beat the Suns in three overtimes. So

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I think the board might be set up for hockey year.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>But so seven doesn't really apply to hoops, but what

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a score. So Phoenix has played better and that'll be

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the final game on the trip. It really amounts to

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>an eight or nine to eight trip for the Sixers

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and a marquee game. I mean the Sixers playing in

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>national television in Boston for the second time. They played

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the very first game of the season national TV and

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>now you know on ABC on Tuesday on Christmas Day.

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>The NBA's owned Christmas, if you will. From a programming standpoint,

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>they do an outstanding job. And for the Sixers to

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>be in that mix looks. We've traveled on Christmas Day

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 1>for almost every year that I've been here and not

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>a play on Christmas Day is pretty cool for the

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 1>second straight year. Last year the Sixers were in New

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>York and that'll be a great game. Boston's lost three

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>in a row, but they had won eighth straight and

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:32.199
<v Speaker 1>certainly a very competitive, intense ball game coming up on

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Christmas time. I would say I need to correct myself,

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>but Twitter has already done it for me. Incorrect on

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 1>my part to say thirty nine and five, because of

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:44.199
<v Speaker 1>course there was the one designated home game ian London,

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 1>so thirty nine and four here in south Field if

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>he regardless, it's pretty pretty good. Let's talk about two Australians.

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons, fantastic Key and up the Sixers fast break attack.

0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Thirty three points on the break is season best. And

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.679
<v Speaker 1>then Joe Bolden getting some early run and not disappointing

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>with four blocks. Now he really did and uh, you

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>know again Wilson Chandler was out, so Mike Moscala starts

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and coach said they had intended to go to Bolden.

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>And you know, like he's an intriguing player in that

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>he has the size and his coach said he can

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.080
<v Speaker 1>really run the floor and now he blocks shots. He

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>had three early in the game, and that's tremendous off

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the bench. Look, when when you're a young player, now

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 1>again the formulas change a little bit because you got

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to be able to hit it open three. But if

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>you can defend and rebound and set screens and do

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the little things, well that can you can play. And

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 1>that that's what he did. I mean, he was a

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.439
<v Speaker 1>force out there at the defensive end, and he was active.

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>He got those rebounds and then he does have the

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>capability of making shots. So again, the Sixers a mere

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Johnson for whatever reason, has not had a you know,

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>that's not that he hasn't instead, he just hasn't played

0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 1>that much. And so coach went with Jonah Bolden, and

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.439
<v Speaker 1>it'll be interesting to see if he's able to play

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 1>on the road. He had a, like I said, a

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a crack in his fibula earlier in

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the season. He had played prior to tonight, in the

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>nineteen previous six Ers games, he'd only played three times,

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.679
<v Speaker 1>and tonight was his tenth overall appearance, and for him

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 1>to get out there and the guts of the game

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and have an impact was really good. And then regarding Ben,

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>he was dominant. I mean he has been dominant over

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of weeks, you know, like with two

0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 1>triple doubles. He could have had another one to night,

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 1>but he has been a force down low and he's

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about running the floor. Simmons had that one breakout

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 1>dunk where you know, it's extraordinary. He's seen an athlete

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>like that, an athlete like that in the open court

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>and he was amazing, and you got to keep hope

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 1>he keeps it up because it's going to be important.

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Particularly Boston defended him really well in the playoffs last year,

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's got a show that he can play against

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 1>those top teams and still dominate. The way he's been

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons twenty six points, twelve rebounds, eight assist to

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Oil and Be twenty seven and eleven. Jj Reddick with

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty two. We've talked a lot about the Boston Celtics.

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>They're a little bit shorthanded themselves as well on the

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>front court. Al Horfords miss seven games in a row,

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be surprised if he did play Tuesday. But Aaron

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Baines he was for anyone who watched. I mean, people

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 1>will remember the corner three pointers and yeah that was big.

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 1>But he was a body that the Celtics could throw one.

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I hate that honestly, Like, don't get me wrong, he

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>was very effective. Let's not forget how the season ended, right, Well,

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 1>went up against Aaron Baines and didn't score. So now Baines,

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the same thing with Valatunas. You just hate to see

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>these guys go down. But yeah, Baines is a really

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 1>good player for them, and he'll be back. I think

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>he's expected to be out like a month for that matter.

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Same thing with Valatunas for Toronto. But yeah, and there

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.199
<v Speaker 1>their dynamic change a little bit. You knew it would,

0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you didn't know how it would manifest itself, but the

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>minutes that Rogier got, the time that Brown got, and

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>now Jaylen Brown was really good last night with twenty

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>one against Milwaukee, but they're not going to be the

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 1>same and your role changes when your minutes go down.

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>And now you know, like HB. Brown was saying last night,

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>for Boston, if Brown gets in there and he's not

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>a consistent outside shooter, well then Brad Stevens has got

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 1>other guys to go to. So but again, like you know,

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I hate to keep going back to this, but like

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 1>with Toronto where the Sixers have not won in thirteen games,

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 1>at some point you got to go into Boston and

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.439
<v Speaker 1>established that you can win there, not not just for

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>for the outside, but for yourselves, because you know, Boston

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>was able to play in the playoffs last year without

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.079
<v Speaker 1>even winning on the road. They lost in Milwaukee all

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 1>three times they came here, and they did well here,

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean without winning on the road, but without you know,

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>they had the home court advantage. So again, these are

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 1>all big games and no matter who's playing, you can

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>only play who's out there. And the Sixers are playing

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 1>well and hopefully they can get on the road. They

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>at some point, if if having a home court, you know,

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.719
<v Speaker 1>dominant record is part of the formula. Well so is

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>getting you know, nineteen twenty twenty one road wins, and

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>so far the Sixers are three games under here on

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>the road, and uh but it's been great here and

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 1>they're playing well and they're going out together. They've they've

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 1>got a great chemistry and fight amongst themselves in terms

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.839
<v Speaker 1>of the spirit, I mean the fight that they play with,

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and so it'll be interesting to see against top flight

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>competition going out west. Tom mc guinness, enjoy your time

<v Speaker 1>in the two thousand eighteen calendar year, and the draw

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>their Atlantic Division nemesis, the Toronto Raptors, which had foiled

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 1>them big time in the first two meetings of the year.

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.720

<v Speaker 1>or only Tom McGinnis. So the Raptors shorthanded tonight. No

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Kawhi Leonard, no Sergibacca, no Jonas Valentunis. Seventy six ers,

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 1>No Wilson Chandler, seventy six ers, Yes, Ben Simmons, Golan

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Wright is coming to the game. His shots no good

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 1>rebound gregman Roe but blocked by a bed. What a

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 1>play by Joe. Here's McConnell races it down the court,

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 1>goes inside. Here's an a duncan by and be great

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 1>play by McConnell. Reddick actually hand a hand on that

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>play and Joel and b with the jam Ben Simmons

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 1>got the seventy sixers started. As you heard right there,

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Joel and bad T two ay sequence to ignite the

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers actually trailed by a point thirty twenty nine

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 1>to a Toronto team that played last night. Toronto went

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>up five early on in the second for the Sixers.

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.640
<v Speaker 1>They were live on the three ball to get back

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>into it, DJ cross courds Skip Reddick steps into an

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 1>open three out of transition and good Sixers with their

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>thirteenth fast breakpoint. JJ Reddick gets the team's first three

0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>great cross chords skip by McConnell's sixth straight by the

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Sixers that made it thirty nine thirty eight seventy Sixers.

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 1>We will detail a little bit later just how good

0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers transition game was. Ben Simmons about that man.

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>He gave the Sixers a nice spurts to force a

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>time lowry off the screen by Siaka Boston on the

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 1>pull up and Butler pulls it out of min area,

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 1>goes to Ben Simmons on a drive and down the

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 1>nade with the right hand. Jaff Nobody's faster than Simmons

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 1>in the open court. Ben Simmons with a chap. Shortly

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>after that, Joel Embiid returned to the court and help

0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers to a solid sixty five fifty nine lead

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 1>at the break. You just felt like momentum was on

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers side, and they really set the tone

0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 1>early on in the third quarter. Siaka from deep no good,

0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Simmons almost daring him to shoot the three. Pascal siakam

0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.040
<v Speaker 1>for five. Well on a pass by Simmons to j. J.

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Reddick Man, he snapped it off from mid court eighteen

0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 1>to four run for the seventy Sixers to open things up.

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 1>In the third quarter. Toronto responded and they were kind

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 1>of nipping at the seventy sixers heels, but after three

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.680
<v Speaker 1>quarters of play it was ninety four seventy nine Sixers.

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>It was some encouraging stuff for the team as they

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 1>took it into the fourth quarter and Ben Simmons helped

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.920
<v Speaker 1>put the Raptors away. Here's Ben with a slam and

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 1>as six as just picking the Raptors apart. Ben Simmons

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 1>from Jimmy Butler. Jimmy with his six assists, twenty point game.

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>It was one oh seven to eighty seven at that

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 1>point in time, as the seventy Sixers they would go

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 1>on to in the end Coast passed the Toronto Raptors

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.680
<v Speaker 1>by the final of one twenty six to one oh one.

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Some final notes from the final stat sheet. Sixers ended

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 1>up shooting fifty four percent from the field, the Raptors

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 1>under thirty nine percent. The Sixers didn't have to rely

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 1>on the three ball a lot, just eight three pointers

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers ten for Toronto. Sixers did do work

0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.399
<v Speaker 1>from the foul line twenty six to thirty five. The

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:22.399
<v Speaker 1>Raptors were seventeen of nineteen. The Sixers were plus twelve

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 1>on the glass against the Raptors tonight, and they committed

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 1>thirteen turnovers to Toronto's fifteen. But fast break offense mentioned

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.959
<v Speaker 1>then alluded to that a little bit ago. The Sixers

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.919
<v Speaker 1>with thirty three fast break points that was a season

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 1>high for them that helped them overcome twenty eight fast

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.440
<v Speaker 1>break points from the Toronto Raptors. But Ben Simmons was

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 1>such a huge part in leading the break for the

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.439
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers, getting their transition game going throughout the entire night.

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Simmons twenty six points a season high for him, twelve

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.159
<v Speaker 1>rebounds his twenty second double double, eight assists for the

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.160
<v Speaker 1>reigning rookie of the year against just one turnover plus seventeen.

0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 1>He was eleven and thirteen from the field twenty seven,

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.439
<v Speaker 1>a game high for Joel Embid, ten to fifteen from

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.239
<v Speaker 1>the floor, seven and nine from the line. He had

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.440
<v Speaker 1>eleven rebounds his NBA best twenty eighth double double of

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the year. JJ Reddick was plus twenty six. Scored twenty

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 1>two points, four of five from outside the arcs, having

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>twelve overall and five assists for JJ Reddick twelve points

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.520

<v Speaker 1>seven rebounds, seven assists, three steals and a block shot.

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 1>The bench had a nice night for the Sixers. Fur

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Con Cork Mods with sixteen points. Jonah Bolden with four

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 1>points but nine rebounds and four block shots. He was

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 1>a great secondary rim protector in terms of a secondary

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.880
<v Speaker 1>rim protecting option for the seventy Sixers off the bench

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 1>when Joel Embid took a seat. T J McConnell seven assists,

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 1>no turnover, six points. Good stuff from the seventy sixers reserve.

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Cord tonight. With the win, the Sixers are now one

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.679
<v Speaker 1>and two on the season. Against the Toronto Raptors, they

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.680
<v Speaker 1>are twenty two and twelve overall. Twenty five and ten

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.480
<v Speaker 1>is the Raptors record. In the seventy Sixers moving to

0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 1>third place and are just two and a half games

<v Speaker 1>Boston Celtics. You know, Boston was riding high for a while.

0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.239
<v Speaker 1>They had won eight straight games, seemed like they were

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>getting things headed in the right direction. But now they've

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 1>actually dropped three straight. There on fifth place currently in
