WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 4/10/2018- Rewind vs. Hawks 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:03.280 Seventy six Ers over the Atlanta Hawks, one twenty one 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:07.920 to one thirteen, a franchise record fifteenth consecutive victory, and 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.760 they earned it in gritty fashion. Brian Seltzer with you 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:14.120 from Sixers dot Com. More analysis, more numbers, and a 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.440 talk with Tom mc ginnison moment, But first, the winning 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:19.160 head coach, Brett Brown. You know, at times like you 0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:21.239 want it all, you want to play fast, you want 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:26.320 them playing free, and you don't want turnovers, and at times, 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.360 you know, there's a little bit of a contradiction there. 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.800 And I thought that we were just too sloppy, too 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.480 loose in that first half. We ended up with twenty 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.600 nine assists. I thought that was a good number, that's 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.919 a big number. But the first half I thought we 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.479 were too sloppy. To walk off the court briefly when 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.800 he was assessed that technical that's something to kind of 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.120 call himself down. That's something we don't see all often 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:51.440 from him. I only start out of the corner of 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.840 my eye and I just, you know, flipped around and 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.520 started coaching again. Um, I'll learn more, I'm sure later. 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.720 How concerned are you about Daria? I mean, we're always 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.000 concerned it's not a sort of an ideal time a 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:09.160 year to lose a starting player, you know, the first 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.559 play of the game, and again we were a man down. 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.880 Now you're two men down. We had had some practice 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.120 playing without Dario, you know, for I think it was 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.080 a stretch of three games. We tried a bunch of 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.680 different things. You know. We ended up sort of looking 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:26.720 at a small ball type game. I think it helped 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:32.080 our three point percentage. But not having Dario tonight heard 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.880 us and we'll learn more about his status later. I 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.119 assume when we get back into Philadelphia. I realized one 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.280 game left in regular season. How important as strongly as 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.560 you have been in the last few weeks. I mean, 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.360 we have momentum. We broke a club record tonight without 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.280 fifteenth win in a row. And it's not like we're 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.840 a young club. We are an old club with a 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.000 tremendous amount of culture and a tremendous amount of history. 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.880 And taking that type of momentum into the playoffs is 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:07.520 is important. It doesn't guarantee anything, but it certainly lets 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.760 you feel like you've been doing the right things. The 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.120 team has been fantastic. We got one more game that 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:18.560 we we understand the opportunity that we have going back 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:23.040 tomorrow to play at home against the Milwaukee Bucks. I 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.519 think the momentum is nothing but a benefit, but certainly 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.400 not anything that we feel like it is going to 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.200 continue to steer us. We have to continue to fight 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:37.320 for stuff and make stuff happen. Finished the season on 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.519 a sixteen game winning street. How have you been able 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.880 to keep your guys grounded through this drift? I mean, 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.359 they've really done a good job themselves. It's a good 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.519 it's a good group. You know, you you coach them, 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.640 they let me coach them. There's a high level of 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.560 accountability of what we want to get done. The locker 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.400 room has tremendous presence with with some veterans that a 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.520 good people. Well, it's a really simple group to coach, 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.880 and it's a prideful group to coach. And I think 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:10.520 because we have sort of stuck to something from day one, 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.679 it's not like we're making stuff up. They understand exactly 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.359 what we want and what our standards are and how 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.840 we want to play and what our defensive rules are. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.280 It's not a mystery. And I think that you know, 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.919 I love my assistant coaches. The locker room has been fantastic, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.280 and the momentum, and you know, just coaching this group 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.280 really has been quite easy. Seventy Sixers get past the 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.400 Atlanta Hawks one twenty one to one thirteen at Phillips 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.600 Arena tonight. They improved to fifty one and thirty a 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.080 chance two, as Molly Sullivan brought up during that postgame scrum, 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.880 set a new NBA record by closing out a regular 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:51.000 season with sixteen consecutive victories tomorrow night against the Milwaukee Bucks, 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.840 already a new franchise record for the seventy Sixers, with 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:58.680 now a fifteen game in season winning streak. Veterans hey 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.360 for a season that has been characterized so much by 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.680 youthful contributions and promise. You're talking about guys like Ben Simmons, 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.520 Dario Scharitch, Joel Embiid. Tonight was all about the veterans. 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.880 JJ Reddick leading the team and scoring for a fifth 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.480 consecutive game with twenty eight ersan Iliasova, who stepped up 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.800 after Dario Shariz went down with a broken tooth and 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.520 cut lip in the opening minute, twenty six points and 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.880 eight rebounds, a couple really big shots in the final quarter, 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.560 one that pushed the Sixers lead back to seven points 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.080 with less than three minutes to go, and another that 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.880 gave the Sixers an eight point lead with around forty 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.760 five seconds left. Marco Belinelli, like Ilyasova, a former Hawk, 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:42.240 with twenty points, and you cannot forget mister Amer Johnson. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.600 What a great second half from him. He was fantastic 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:49.520 fifteen points, eight rebounds, five assists, and you cannot overlook 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.080 his efforts in the Sixers being able to trudge passed 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.719 Atlanta tonight. Hey, when you have a winning streak this big, 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.640 the victories come in all shapes and sizes. Was this 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.240 Picasso Maybe not, but it was a win and it 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.120 kept the Sixers in control of third place in the 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.440 Eastern Conference standings going into the finale tomorrow night. Tom 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.839 McGinnis is standing by. We will speak with him on 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.320 the other side. It's the postgame showing the Sixers Rating 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:22.680 Network ninety seven five. The fanatic seventy Sixers had a 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.400 new franchise record by winning their fifteenth consecutive game in 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:30.320 a single season. Brian Seltzer with you from Sixers dot Com. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.240 Final scoring this one from Atlanta tight one, twenty one 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.160 to one. Thirteen, JJ Reddick leading the way again with 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.320 twenty eight points. Tom McGinnis watched this one a very 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:43.200 nice seat inside Phillips, Tom. The Vets got it done tonight. 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.640 More history achieved by the Sixers, Oh, no doubt. And 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.120 you just can't help but think, you know, and use 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.320 the phrase hard fought road wind. And those guys as 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.800 you say, JJ, Marco and and your son, you know, 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.680 they let it fly and they made the three six 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.680 for JJ, he was six from nine, your son four 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.200 of eight, Marco five of twelve, all told the six 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.240 or seventeen of thirty seven, and they need every single 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.880 one of them. As Atlanta really put up a fight, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.200 and the Sixers able to jump into that victory column 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.960 for the fifteenth straight time. But it wasn't easy. Now 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:22.680 bear with me on this next part. I don't know 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.040 if it's gonna be a little bit of a stretch. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.760 Would you say in some ways that perhaps a test 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.960 like this could suit the Sixers where you're headed towards 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.119 the juncture in the playoffs where things may not come easy. 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.719 You're gonna need some other guys to step up. That 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.000 might not be your typical game in game out stars 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.960 talking like an Amir Johnson someone like that. Obviously, Atlanta 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.920 has not headed the playoffs, and the caliber of opponent 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.360 the six or well face will be steeper. But does 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.720 that can we allow for parallel like that? And maybe 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.320 perhaps certainly when you're looking for positives during a fifteen 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.200 game winning Street that says something right there, but no 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.520 doubt about it in different guys upped up at different times, 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.920 but that whole you know, rest versus rhythm. Boy, I 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.440 wish the Sixers were off until Saturday, you know, right 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.880 like they really and then you got to go home 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.520 and play a rest in Milwaukee team who's you know, 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.600 trying to get ready for the playoffs themselves. And that's 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.880 a huge game tomorrow because without it, I mean, you 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.520 got to presume the Knicks are gonna or the Cleveland 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.000 Cavaliers are gonna beat New York in Cleveland in their 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.440 last game. There's no way Lebron is gonna lose to 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.040 New York in their final game. So it's still a 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.800 battle for third, I mean, right down to the final game. 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.200 And obviously you want to have the best seed as possible. 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.640 I don't know what the best matchup is, but tomorrow night, 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.240 forget the matt for right now, it's the Milwaukee Bucks, 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.360 and and that's looks like that's how it would wind up. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.320 Not able to delve into that if the Sixers would 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.480 to win, the Milwaukee were to lose. I know, Miami's 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.080 got Toronto. I guess that would factor into it as well. 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.640 But no, I mean the Sixers. You know, Dario, who's 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.120 to say what his status is for tomorrow night. I 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.800 mean that's no you know, no guarantee that he's gonna play. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.280 But and he's already trying to get back into the 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.200 rhythm after missing a week with the elbow. I saw 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.720 JJ limping around a little bit. TJ got his clock 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.680 one time, you know, where he would look like he 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.080 was going to be out, but he came back. So 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.800 you know, it's death. It shows the metal like M E. T. 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.400 T L E, like the Sixers, and the gumption and 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.880 the fight that they have, and you got to build it. 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.320 That's the thing about the NBA even you know how 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.440 many times did we say over year, over the years past, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.680 where well there's a game tomorrow. You know, when you 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:40.720 get your beaten handily, well same thing when you win, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.000 you gotta do what you gotta summon up all that 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.680 energy and fight again tomorrow. So a great victory, no 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.560 doubt about it. And uh, Atlanta's gonna be good. I 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.560 mean they're they're stocked in the area of draft picks 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.400 over the next couple of years. They got some nice 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:58.480 talent with Prince and Collins and Shrewder and Baysmore, and 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.440 like I said, they deserve a lot of it for 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.679 going down with the fight that they put forward here tonight. 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.480 But no doubt the Sixers. They'll be off on Thursday. 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.040 They'll be able to gear up Friday, and it's going 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.360 to be crazy over the weekend at the Center as 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.960 we await a long time waiting for another playoff matchup 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.640 in the Sixers will go into it with no matter 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.040 what happens tomorrow, with a lot of momentum. They'll also 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.120 go into the weekend's first playoff game with a home game. 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.600 That is a good thing. Sixers defeat Atlanta tonight, one 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.120 twenty one, one thirteen. So here it is time it 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.200 sets up and points to tomorrow night, seventy Sixers back home, 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.760 fittingly fan appreciation night at the Center where it's been 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.360 sold out literally every single regular season game, and something 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.559 really neat that the NBA has done over the last 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.480 couple of years is start predominantly all the games at 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.600 eight o'clock Eastern on the final night of the regular season, 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.680 just to try and build up some of the drama 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.040 and listen, there are a lot of games of consequence 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:58.520 Toronto at Miami, Washington, playing in Orlandos. Things to still 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.920 be sorted out. You mentioned the Avaliers and the Knicks 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.360 at the queue, so it's gonna be a lot of 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.360 details to sort out regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.920 game in South Philly, no doubt about it. And that's 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:10.880 part of it too, you know, in terms of where 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.079 the Sixers and the Bucks end up. And I could 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:15.760 be wrong, but I don't know if you remember this, 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.520 but baseball had this like five, seven, maybe even eight 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.000 years ago where all those games came down to the 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.440 final day and it was amazing, and then the NBA 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.800 ended up doing it, and there have been nights where 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.800 it's just you know, it's switches literally by the minute. 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.120 So it's there's a lot of attention, no doubt, and 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.480 it's it's pretty unique format. And guess what the game 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.680 could start at nine. The Sixers could use every get ready, 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.400 but no, I mean it's gonna be exciting. And then, 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.360 as you say, the atmosphere at the building has been stupendous, 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.920 it's gonna be like that tomorrow. It's gonna be a 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.520 playoff like atmosphere, and like I said, it could be 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:58.040 a playoff preview. They're long, they're talented, Bledsoe gives them 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.360 so much and turning led them in scoring lad Night. Jannis, 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.679 if he plays, he's been with that ankle is just 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.120 a unique talent that scares you a little bit if 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.080 you do play this team, because he's a superstar who 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.080 could put them over the hump and single handedly win games. 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.720 They have Henston. I think the Sixers advantage against Milwaukee 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.960 is with the beat and obviously he will not play 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.400 tomorrow night, and who's to say when he plays in 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.520 the playoffs, but they have a difficult time matching Joel, 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.960 But if he's not in there, they got a lot 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:31.000 of really good wing players, including Parker and again Chris Middleton, 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:35.000 and so they're talented, they're deep. They haven't had the 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.079 last the last two or three weeks have not been 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.280 maybe as great as it was right after Jake Kidd 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.440 got let go, but they're they're a talented team and 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.720 it's gonna be a battle tomorrow night to be sure 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.720 against the Bucks.
