WEBVTT - Rewind vs. Orlando Magic - 11/13/19 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.560 You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences, 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:08.160 highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. Tough 0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:12.800 one for the seventy Sixers tonight under adverse circumstances in Orlando, 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:16.400 losing to the Magic one twelve nineties seven. I'm Brian Seltzer. 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:19.599 Seventy Sixers out scored thirty two to fifteen in the 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.400 fourth quarter and that was indeed the ball game. Josh 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.400 Richardson finishing with a team high nineteen points. He scored 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.840 eleven points in a third quarter that was a real 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.160 bright spot and promising point of the game for the 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.839 seventy sixers. They went on a twelve nothing run to 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.680 take an eight point lead, which would be a game high, 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:40.400 but from there the Magic managed to trim the deficit 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.200 to two points eighty two eighty going into the fourth quarter, 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:45.960 and that was part of what would end up being 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.800 a twenty two to seven run mounted by the Magic 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.320 that turned the game in their favor. One twelve ninety 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:57.000 seven the final scored. The seventy Sixers are now seven 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.320 and four on the season. They have lost their last 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.279 four on the road. They play at Oklahoma City on 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.600 Friday night before heading to Cleveland on Sunday, And yeah, 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.839 not ideal circumstances in the least for the seventy Sixers. 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.800 It was the second night of a back to back 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.480 on the road after having a grind out a game, 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.400 a one point win last night at the Center against 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.840 the Cleveland Cavaliers. And this next factor is something that 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.880 Tom McGinnis and I talked about before the game started. 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.959 Continuity is really tough for the Sixers right now. You 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.200 have to go back eight games to find a time 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.119 when the seventy sixers talking about the home game against 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.480 the Minnesota Timberwolves, when the seventy Sixers had their projected 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:42.320 opening night starting five available, the full complement of players 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.840 available for the entirety of a game. The last now 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:49.640 seven games, the seventy Sixers have been missing someone important 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.600 from that starting lineup, whether it's a Joel Embiid or 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.120 a Ben Simmons or Al Horford who rested last night, 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.640 one of the starters an all star no less has 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.160 been out of the starting lineup in each of the 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.440 last now seven games for the seventy Sixers. Sixers take 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.960 one on the chin tonight to one, twelve to ninety seven. 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:12.760 We bring in Tom mcguinnis, who had the call from 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.600 Amway Center of this evening. Tom, what did you see 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.600 down the stretch of that one, especially in the fourth quarter, Well, 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.440 the Sixers just lost energy and Orlando, you know, they 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.840 found their rhythm on offense. So, like I was saying 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.040 in the third, as you say, the Sixers built up 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.840 at eight point lead, you could almost see the badgic 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.240 kind of you know, when you've seen enough basketball, you 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.200 can see the nonverbal cues, like the signs, their body language. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.440 They were shooting them, but you almost could see they 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.080 weren't confident strokes, whereas in that stretch where Orlando turned 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.400 things around with a twelve three start to the fourth, 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.520 very confident and that would be Fortyer and Terrence Ross 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.880 knocking down back to back threes and the Sixers were 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:59.040 coming down. They were inefficient on offense with turnovers, miss shots, 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.760 not a lot of movement, not a lot of action 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.400 toward the basket, Difficult shooting stretches there for both Harris 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.320 and Horford. I thought Josh Richardson did the best that 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.840 he could. Ben thrown out of his little rhythm a 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.840 little bit by the four fouls and the game turned 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.920 in a span of like six or four or five 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.799 minutes right there, the game turned and the Sixers looked 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.360 like they were going to come up with an impressive 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.960 road victory, but Orlando's got things have flipped around and 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:27.040 they came away with the victory. And you know, I 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.519 think the back to back, I think it was a factor, 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.040 and certainly no one bed as well, but that's how 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.079 it goes. I mean, these other teams travel and play 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.280 back to back as well, and the Sixers just did 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.080 not back it up. Sort of speak with that tight 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.280 win last night and come back here and have the 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.640 ability to finish off this game in Orlando for most 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.400 of the night, a competitive game, thirteen lead changes and 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.000 seven ties, but the seventy Sixers see Orlando pull away 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.120 down the stretch for a one twelve ninety seven win, 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.080 thought Josh richardson, Tom, like you said, played a pretty 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:01.680 good game. But on a macro, I think the response 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.960 that Brett Brown had in his postgame press conference about 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.839 Tobias Harris is really something that the entire team should internalize. 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.280 Like Brett didn't hesitate when he was asked about Tobias 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.480 and the two game stretch that Tobias is in right now. 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:15.880 I was just like, you know it, as far as 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.640 the SHOT's concerned, you keep firing and keep plugging away. 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.839 And I think right now that's kind of the mentality 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.120 that the whole team has to take. They're trying to 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.520 get continuity. It's still relatively early in the season and 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:30.240 the schedules has done them no favors well. And according 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.599 to you know, coach and relative to Harris, he was 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.960 saying that before the game yesterday where to buy, he's 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.280 trying to develop him as a as a big time scorer. 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.640 I mean, he's been around an eighteen twenty point scorer 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.120 his whole career, but in that it's not just threes, 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.560 but it's being aggressive and finding what's there. But again, 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.280 it turns out, like I know, the line of questioning 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.520 prior to the game with coach was about to Bias, 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.719 about him ready to go, and about was he one 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.919 hundred percent, So you kind of got the sense that 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.240 he was a little bit under the weather. And for 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.280 much of the day yesterday, the Sixers head coach Brett 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.479 Brown did not the way I understood it, did not 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.040 did not think that the Bias was going to play 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.719 and then Harris City was okay. So now knowing that 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.520 he was less than one hundred percent physically, a little 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.039 bit apparently a little bit under the weather, well we 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.200 all know what that feels like. I don't know what's 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:24.680 ailing him or whatever, but shooting NBA three point shots 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.400 certainly not you know, the best scenario. And he struggled. 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.480 He was over eleven last night. Tonight he was all 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.560 of three, and not only that, but you need to 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.760 have like the scores mentality where you just to coach 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.240 his point. You just put it behind you and you 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.640 keep firing, and hopefully a couple of days rest as 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.320 he gets you know, gets ready for Friday, he'll feel 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.880 better and have a better night shooting the basketball. But 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.279 that that's a scores mentalities. You miss, no problem, you 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.000 you know, just totally blank out about that and go forward. 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.080 You know, the only caveat there is when you miss, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.360 you want to throw in you know maybe why you 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.760 miss so and might need more lived Obviously, if you 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.320 miss it this way or that way, you try to 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.120 counter it, to try to correct it. But it just 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.880 didn't look like he had his legs over the last 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.640 two games, and that's what happens if you're ailing and 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.960 not one hundred percent physically. I would agree with that entirely. 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.080 Seventy six Ers fallen Orlando tonight to open their three 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.360 game road trip one twelve ninety seven. Tom, I mean, 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.160 you're you're so into the NBA. I know that you 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.279 love it. Are you intrigued to see what this OKAC 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.159 team is all about? There off to a little bit 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.000 of a slow start, but there was a complete makeover 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.880 with Westbrook and George departing the offseason, and now they've 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.560 got Chris Paul who's playing and seemingly healthy and a 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.039 young nucleus. They're trying to rebuild now in the absence 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.320 of those two stars who left. No. Absolutely, it's like 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.600 it's Clippers Southwest, you know. I know Chris Paul had 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.600 been with the Rockets, but with Shay Jill, just Alexander 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.160 and Demido Golnari, I mean, they're doing I think better 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.960 than maybe some teams would have thought. And the Sixers 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:58.880 had that great I believe they won out there last 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.320 year and been in such a difficult place to play 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:06.440 with Russell Westbrook, and you know, every team goes through 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.600 the phases where they kind of have to retweak their 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.000 roster and they've done a really nice job, so it 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.680 should be good. I mean, you want the Sixers to 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.800 get through this stretch of losing now with his four 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.400 road games and then you got a rematch with Cleveland. 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.040 So as you said, the Sixers have not had the 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.320 continuity that they've want in terms of having everybody in 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.000 the line of Hopefully that'll be the case on Friday 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.360 night and you get rested and you get out there 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:34.480 and you get things going a little bit against the 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:38.680 thunder Already, Tom Easy travels onto Oklahoma City. We will 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.800 speak with you before the game on Friday. Thank you, Brian, 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.640 and goodnight. Seventy Sixers lose at Amoy Center to the 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.480 Orlando Magic one twelve ninety seven. Some of Tom's radio 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.720 calls are coming up. Seventy Sixers back out on the 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.320 road again, a night after pulling out a one point 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.440 victory at the Center in South Philadelphia, facing the Orlando 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.640 Magic at Amway Center. I'm Brian Seltzer. Here is how 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.760 the game sounded, courtesy of the one and only Tom McGinnis. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.160 Sixers started with some good energy and Ben Simmons was 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.320 a big reason why. High screen by Simmons takes it 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.280 into the lane, lopped it down to Simmons at Ben 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.000 guides it up with the right hand, folds off with Swick, 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.760 ended up with Simmons at a nifty pass by Richardson 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.160 and Ben Simmons needed just to tap it in right 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:27.000 at the cylinder. Seventy Sixers would trail by a point 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.400 thirty one thirty going into the second quarter. That competitive 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.439 theme continued as we headed towards the half. Simmons was 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.920 six and now it's Ross misshelling the ball. Simmons got 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:40.800 a hand out a Harris picks it up, bombs it 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.079 back to bed, head, back to back field goes by 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:47.679 Simmons at the rib time out let no. Despite attempting 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.439 just one free throw and making it in the entire 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.280 first half, the seventy Sixers managed to go into the 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.720 break tied at fifty three with the magic also again 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.640 on the second night of it, back to back without 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.920 Joel Embiid. Third quarter was the brightest spot of the 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.000 knife to the Sixers. Josh Richardson had going on in 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.240 the seventy sixers on a nice little run to jump 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:12.160 in front. Wow. Mark el Foltz missed that three by 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.719 a lot. Cork Boss, on the other hand, puts a 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:18.120 head he swishes. At three, had the seventy Sixers lead 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:22.600 sixty seven sixty three, fur Con corkbas with his first 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.720 tray in the game. At that point, it was the 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.080 largest lead of the Knight of the seventy sixers, and 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.360 they continued to run to the tune of twelve straight points. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.680 Kusovitch for three almost missed it all. Ben with the 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.800 rebound Sixers with a down court fee to it. Quin 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:41.200 Penny dumpson. Ben Simmons is doing a tremendous job at 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:46.200 both ends. Kyle O Quinn with a slam. Simmons stirring 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.240 the drink of the seventy sixers. He was great in 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.800 the third. As I mentioned, Josh Richardson had a really 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.440 big third period, scoring eleven points in the frame. Seventy Sixers. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.679 It felt like they were in a great spot up 0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:00.800 seventy one sixty three, but Orlando quickly regroup and scored 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.320 seventh straight. The Sixers lead was trimmed to two eighty 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.839 two eighty going to the fourth quarter. Orlando then built 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.800 up a massive twenty two to seven run that turned 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.400 the tide of the game totally in their favor. Seventy 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.240 Sixers were just trying to keep pace. Slapped off the glass. 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.480 It's loose, Orlando can't get it. Rebound down to Richardson 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.520 four minutes straight up to go seventh with it, drives 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:26.760 at Cable said and scores it sorry right by Aaron Gordon. 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.840 Not enough for the seventy sixers as they lose the 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:34.800 Magic tonight one twelve ninety seven. Seventy Sixers and Orlando 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.280 each shot forty four percent from the floor. Of the 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:41.160 Sixers with eighty three pointers, Orlando with ten. Huge disparity, 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.559 as I said, and this was in the makings from 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.120 the first half. At the free throw line, seventy six 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.440 ers nine is thirteen from the stripe. The Magic were 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:53.640 twenty six of thirty four. That is a big time gap. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.880 Orlando was plus one on the glass to seventy Sixers 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.400 committed fifteen turnovers. On the surface, that a better number 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.600 than what we've seen in recent games.
