Speaker 1: This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back
Speaker 1: to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game, The
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers knock off those pesky Brooklyn nets one twenty
Speaker 1: three to one ten. I'm Brian Selterer. Let us go
Speaker 1: now in progress to the winning head coach Brett Brown. Point,
Speaker 1: if that's what you meant with the size, But you know,
Speaker 1: let's face it, it's a pick and roll sport. It's
Speaker 1: grown to be a pick and roll sport, and so
Speaker 1: you better be able to garden one. And I hear
Speaker 1: you like with his size and the effort that he
Speaker 1: applied tonight, he was special. You said yesterday practice that
Speaker 1: this is that we're not the four runners and we
Speaker 1: need to build our identically and more energy because we're
Speaker 1: having proven it. You feel like tonight it was a
Speaker 1: good first step toward that for a couple of tough ones.
Speaker 1: I think so. And it's we talk candidly, like who
Speaker 1: are we and how do I make sure I help
Speaker 1: us be what you guys want to be? Like we
Speaker 1: all understand what our mission is and we do not
Speaker 1: have the history And I said warriors, and I mean
Speaker 1: like the Celtics as well, like there's a history there
Speaker 1: that maybe they can click the heels and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, oh it's playoffs and take off. They have
Speaker 1: the ability to do that. I just feel like we
Speaker 1: need to experience more time together playing well, and I
Speaker 1: understand what playing well looks like. Yes to your question,
Speaker 1: I think this does a lot in relation to our defense,
Speaker 1: especially if you look at our defense on DeAngelo and Spencer.
Speaker 1: I thought we did a good job. I think we
Speaker 1: all should be reminded. They came off a ridiculously difficult
Speaker 1: West Coast road trip, you know, I think they had
Speaker 1: six or seven games and flew back, and so they're
Speaker 1: a good team, you know. And even as to get
Speaker 1: as I'm getting ready to take out our starters and
Speaker 1: the kid hits the three, you know, you're reminded of
Speaker 1: de'angelo Russell having what was it twenty five at Sacramento
Speaker 1: when bam. You know that team does have the ability
Speaker 1: to claude claude back leads quickly. But I think tonight
Speaker 1: was a defensive minded effort and I think it is
Speaker 1: something that we can grow from Wressell and doing what
Speaker 1: do I think coming in this game? They're avaging fifty
Speaker 1: four and a half points in the other three games
Speaker 1: against two guys, and it's now you help them to
Speaker 1: combine twenty six. So how are you able to be
Speaker 1: able to put some into'll come off a little bit.
Speaker 1: I mean the three point shot. There's always where I
Speaker 1: go to with a lot of things. How do you
Speaker 1: defend the three point line? Right now? We are the
Speaker 1: number one team in the NBA defending the three point line.
Speaker 1: We've worked hard to do that. At times it comes
Speaker 1: with pain on the pressure that you apply, you know,
Speaker 1: like you can't get driven on, and stuff happens after that.
Speaker 1: And so I go to the end, like if you
Speaker 1: look at the three point attempts, which is a decent
Speaker 1: for me place to start, and then they didn't make
Speaker 1: you know many when they did shoot the few that
Speaker 1: they shot, I go there. Especially with this team, they
Speaker 1: are well coached. I think that they run a pick
Speaker 1: and roll as well as anybody in the NBA. They
Speaker 1: space you and they got you know, play as it can,
Speaker 1: put it to the floor and break you down one
Speaker 1: on one ISO situations or run a pick and roll.
Speaker 1: And I thought we did a pretty good job guarding
Speaker 1: those two tonight and I know that you as you
Speaker 1: get closer to the playoffs obviously start thinking about it more,
Speaker 1: but you have games ahead of you, so you still
Speaker 1: want to post on this their point bleeding up to
Speaker 1: the postseason where you kind of have that feeling like
Speaker 1: it's getting closer, and maybe you stay out longer at
Speaker 1: night thinking about this thing, like where in that is
Speaker 1: it for you? Just like personally feeling like you're getting
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel it coming a while ago, I
Speaker 1: really do. And you know, I think that the the
Speaker 1: the sort of walk something down mentality that that I
Speaker 1: have where you try to go I mean slow sounds
Speaker 1: like it's a negative to try to just go with
Speaker 1: patients and poise and have clarity and you understand what's
Speaker 1: coming and you're not, you know, sped up. And I
Speaker 1: think it's important for our play is to think the
Speaker 1: same thing, you know, like we want to just you know,
Speaker 1: not too high, not too low, understand what we're good at,
Speaker 1: own what we need to improve on, and get ready
Speaker 1: to go. But I think it comes with sort of
Speaker 1: a balanced perspective and not one like you know, we
Speaker 1: were back as kids and summons here like and you
Speaker 1: just bring out of school and like here we go
Speaker 1: like I don't want that, and for myself, to your question,
Speaker 1: I felt this for a while. Good effort by these
Speaker 1: seventy six ers tonight as Day defeat the Brooklyn Nets
Speaker 1: one twenty three to one ten to split the four
Speaker 1: game Atlantic Division season series. Joel Embiid was monstrous and
Speaker 1: I thirty nine points, thirteen rebounds, six assists, three steals
Speaker 1: in a block shot. JJ Reddick helped get the team
Speaker 1: off to a terrific start. He finished with eighteen points,
Speaker 1: hit his first six shots in the night in his
Speaker 1: first four three point attempts. Ben Simmons ultimately disqualified, but
Speaker 1: sixteen points, eight assists, four rebounds to go with a
Speaker 1: steal in the game. The bench a really solid night
Speaker 1: for the reserve corps. Sixteen for Boban Marjanovitch plus three
Speaker 1: rebounds eleven from Mike Scott. He was perfect from outside
Speaker 1: the arc three for three t J McConnell with some
Speaker 1: nice baskets in the fourth quarter when the seventy sixers
Speaker 1: were doing a good job of keeping the Brooklyn Nets
Speaker 1: at bay and all in all, after two tough losses
Speaker 1: on the road at Atlanta Saturday and then obviously against
Speaker 1: the Orlando Magic on Monday. The seventy Sixers were kind
Speaker 1: of looking for a spirit reclaiming effort tonight, and we
Speaker 1: saw them get off to a quick start right off
Speaker 1: the jump. They maintained that effort all the way throughout
Speaker 1: and hopefully this gets them going heading in the right
Speaker 1: direction once again. Going into the final seven games of
Speaker 1: the regular season. The backcourt duo of Spencer Dinwittie and
Speaker 1: Danzel Russell were kept in check. They combined for only
Speaker 1: twenty six points, ten of twenty eight from the field
Speaker 1: and most notably, two of ten from outside the arcs.
Speaker 1: And the Sixers did some good things defensively. They handled
Speaker 1: the pick and roll well. They scored sixty points in
Speaker 1: the paint twelve three pointers. A really good balance stafford
Speaker 1: by the Sixers all around Tonight. They end their modus
Speaker 1: two game losing streak. There now forty eight and twenty seven.
Speaker 1: The nets drop to thirty eight and thirty eight. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about him more with Tom McGinnis coming up on
Speaker 1: the other side. It's the postgame showing the Sixers. Rated

Speaker 1: Seventy six Ers knock off the Brooklyn Nets down here
Speaker 1: at the center tonight one twenty three one ten, capping
Speaker 1: off eight terrific day in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex.
Speaker 1: And look at this, Tom McGinnis, a breaking development. Ohdouble
Speaker 1: Herrera posing for photos on the courts. I laugh that
Speaker 1: he had to ask. He's got a distinctive due and
Speaker 1: he's got Herrera on his back of a six Ers jersey.
Speaker 1: That's right. Wow, that's breaking news, Brian. Is that what
Speaker 1: qualifies his breaking news? Well? And just a stone's throwaway.
Speaker 1: Another dignitary of Philadelphia sports, Mike miss and ellis strutting
Speaker 1: across the timeline. We see divine givens out there, Natalie
Speaker 1: Enganoff ninety seven five fanatic crew here for their annual
Speaker 1: knockoff tournaments. So that's pretty cool. I hate to go
Speaker 1: fake news on you, but whoa the judgment of the pen,
Speaker 1: I'm joking, that's cool. What a night? What like you
Speaker 1: say with the sports cut, he's about to shoot. Let's
Speaker 1: see what he's got, Herrera where a multiple crossover goes
Speaker 1: between the legs. He's outside of the yard? This oh
Speaker 1: that target? Okay, a little bit of a knuckleball, all right,
Speaker 1: tim the seventy six ers, they dumbed this an important
Speaker 1: game after yesterday's practice. Obviously Brooklyn has given them a
Speaker 1: little bit of fits over the course of the year.
Speaker 1: There's could have been a preview of the first round
Speaker 1: and won't know for a few more weeks. But they
Speaker 1: came out and they really played like this was an
Speaker 1: important game. The urgency was there well, and I thought
Speaker 1: Brooklyn played its best basketball at the beginning of the game,
Speaker 1: at least their starters, because their reserves were pretty awesome
Speaker 1: throughout the game. But the Sixers in the opening quarters
Speaker 1: shot sixty one percent. Joel and b was six of
Speaker 1: ninety had three threes, sixteen points in the opening quarter,
Speaker 1: and there was that one segment. Again Brooklyn only had
Speaker 1: two threes in the first half or in the first quarter.
Speaker 1: But where the action at the very beginning was just
Speaker 1: terrific by bowl team's end to end action, then at
Speaker 1: points during the game it got a little sloppy, and honestly,
Speaker 1: I thought it was a tough night for the officials too.
Speaker 1: There were some calls I thought that were that disrupted
Speaker 1: the game. Questionable on both sides, but none on us.
Speaker 1: The Sixers were able to maintain a comfortable lead. And
Speaker 1: again the fact that Brooklyn was in the game and
Speaker 1: made it an effort. I thought their bench with Rondey, Hollis,
Speaker 1: Jefferson and Lebert and then with He really gave them
Speaker 1: a chance and they played particularly well. And again for
Speaker 1: those that potentially are just joining us sake Brooklyn. This
Speaker 1: was the seventh game of a road trip that started
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma on March thirteenth and took them out to California,
Speaker 1: up to Portland and then back here to the East Coast.
Speaker 1: So a very difficult road trip. So you know, kudos
Speaker 1: to them. They fall the five hundred. They actually I
Speaker 1: think fall the seventh, with Detroit winning by seventeen over
Speaker 1: Orlando today or tonight in Michigan, and Russell struggled mightily
Speaker 1: throughout the game. But yeah, the Sixers. And again one
Speaker 1: of the quirks in this game was how Kenny Atkinson
Speaker 1: did not play Jared Allen in the second half. We
Speaker 1: don't know the reason. It didn't appear though he was hurt.
Speaker 1: We'd got nothing from NETSPR to that regard, and they
Speaker 1: had gone small ball with Ronde playing the five. But
Speaker 1: as JJ Redick so eloquently put it after the game,
Speaker 1: it didn't work because Joel just dominated and if he
Speaker 1: didn't score, he got fouled. So that was very unusual.
Speaker 1: Their style is unusual in that the way they spread
Speaker 1: the floor and do all that. But defensively that was
Speaker 1: really I mean, how do you guard Joel and bad
Speaker 1: with a six seven player? I mean, it was just amazing.
Speaker 1: So those are some of the thoughts after this victory
Speaker 1: for the six Ers. Seventy six Ers beat Brooklyn one,
Speaker 1: twenty three one ten. Yeah, Joel had a really massive
Speaker 1: night thirty nine points, thirteen rebound, six assists, got started early.
Speaker 1: He and Ben Simmons really had some nice moments in
Speaker 1: the game they did, and that was a tremendous alley
Speaker 1: oop that had bead through to Ben Simmons. And then
Speaker 1: there were other times where Ben made aggressive drives and
Speaker 1: maybe didn't score it, but in at least once maybe twice,
Speaker 1: got his own rebound back and then made a quick
Speaker 1: interior feed to Joel. And you know when they when
Speaker 1: they get involved, they don't run like a lot of
Speaker 1: picking rolls like you would expect from a starting point
Speaker 1: guard and a starting center. That's not how the Sixers
Speaker 1: play offense, but they they definitely when they get the together,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. And then, and don't discount Reddick too, because
Speaker 1: he had four threes in the first half, and you
Speaker 1: know he's just incredible at screening and getting free and
Speaker 1: knocking down those open shots. On a night where you
Speaker 1: didn't get the offensive production you've been accustomed to from
Speaker 1: the combination of Butler and Tobias Harrison, I thought, Boban
Speaker 1: I've obviously contributed a great deal here tonight, Sixers knock
Speaker 1: off the nets one twenty three, one ten. You had
Speaker 1: the bench nice to see from then, bobon a great game,
Speaker 1: Mike Scott perfect from outside the arc. TJ. Good to
Speaker 1: see him get a few baskets late in the game.
Speaker 1: Thought he needed that absolutely. And Mike Scott, like you say,
Speaker 1: three for three, I mean that could be a big
Speaker 1: quotient in the playoffs for the Sixers, and that is
Speaker 1: Mike Scott. Ennis didn't play, so he's got the capability
Speaker 1: of making that outside shot and really bolstering your perimeter shooting,
Speaker 1: particularly from the bench. And yes, TJ kind of struggled
Speaker 1: a little bit on the road in the Southeast, but
Speaker 1: he has some big basket here. I thought he got
Speaker 1: into Dree D'Angelo Russell defensively and he brings that energy
Speaker 1: which he always does, and I thought that was on
Speaker 1: full display here tonight. Six Ers a quick stop in
Speaker 1: South Philadelphia, get the home win, thirtieth at home this season.
Speaker 1: Now it's on the road for three more as they
Speaker 1: head in the final two weeks the season. Tom and
Speaker 1: will speak next in Minneapolis on Saturday. Okay, goodnight, thank you, Brian.
Speaker 1: Final score from the center tonight's one twenty three to
Speaker 1: one ten seventy six Ers win it. I believe joellenbad
Speaker 1: is at the podium right now. Just step to the mic,
Speaker 1: so we'll bring you a brief excerpt of his comments. Sorry,
Speaker 1: it was great to condis see where we are, especially
Speaker 1: coming enough those two losses this point as a team balance,
Speaker 1: trying to get rhythment. Chemistry's a tough balance right now
Speaker 1: with this team trying to hills or chemistry or goodnies
Speaker 1: of this. So it was the focus as it good
Speaker 1: that you had to have right now. Obviously there's still
Speaker 1: a lot of UH with all of us, but we
Speaker 1: found we Uh, we're playing We're playing better. I mean
Speaker 1: the last two games obviously we didn't play well, mainly
Speaker 1: because of the defensi eventum, but it's fine when we
Speaker 1: move the ball and we put the ball in the
Speaker 1: white people. I think he's fine. Joan. I know you
Speaker 1: gotta handful of games left before the playoffs start, but
Speaker 1: are you starting to kind of feel like it's right
Speaker 1: around the corner, it's coming up and you're feeling that now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been feeling it. Uh, you're know, I've been getting
Speaker 1: ready when he comes to Papa us and died and
Speaker 1: all that. So he's there, you know, just gotta keep
Speaker 1: taking game by game man, trying to get better feelings.
Speaker 1: Is it more nervous or excited or eager? Which where
Speaker 1: is it fall I'm excited. I don't honestly, I don't
Speaker 1: care what we play. I'm excited. It's my second It's
Speaker 1: gonna be my second post season. Last year I had
Speaker 1: to mask and I wasn't feeling well. I was out
Speaker 1: of shape. But this playoff, I'm coming in, you know,
Speaker 1: in better shape. Man. I don't have to bus to hate.
Speaker 1: So he's gonna be He's definitely gonna be a different store,
Speaker 1: all right, Joel Ebad stoking the embers a little bit.
Speaker 1: We're gonna head to the playoffs after a big performance tonight.
Speaker 1: Thirty nine points, thirteen rebounds, six assists, seventy sixers with
Speaker 1: a win over the Naps one twenty three, one ten.

Speaker 1: in South Philadelphia. It was a big day, got started
Speaker 1: with a nice Philly's win. Sixers are going to snap
Speaker 1: out of a two game funk. All right, let us
Speaker 1: get to some of the highlights. It was apparent early
Speaker 1: that the version of Joel and Beat in the seventy
Speaker 1: sixers would get tonight the normal dominant Joe that the
Speaker 1: Sixers have come. It's a love and appreciate it. Here's
Speaker 1: Simmons outside left, the Joella in the corner right by
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn bench, and Beat backs up, shoots a corner
Speaker 1: three and laps good. Are you serious want to play
Speaker 1: by a beat? He's got fourteen points three for three
Speaker 1: from three and it Beat stops and strikes a pose
Speaker 1: as he heads to the sideline. It was an explosive
Speaker 1: start for MBAD. But you know what, He's not the
Speaker 1: only seven footer on the roster who apparently has some range.
Speaker 1: Here's Pulp on out top measures shoots three and at ten.
Speaker 1: Polani just knocking down the three, but the light up
Speaker 1: the crowd. All part of a terrific first quarter. Seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers led after one thirty eight to twenty three. In
Speaker 1: the second quarter, the three point shooting maintained a hot,
Speaker 1: steady stroke, and that was courtesy of JJ Reddick. Simmons
Speaker 1: of the ball to Reddick, JJ outside right, gets free,
Speaker 1: shoots the triple at in JJ Reddick with four in
Speaker 1: a row for the Sixers back to a ten point game.
Speaker 1: Reddick started the game six for six, four for four
Speaker 1: from outside the arc and help lift the seventy six
Speaker 1: ers to a ten point sixty eight fifty eight halftime lead.
Speaker 1: In the third quarter, Brooklyn not going away, but Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons shown some muscle on the inside. Mike Scott to
Speaker 1: Joel and beat with Davis there beat sixteen in the
Speaker 1: opening quarter. Twenty four in the game, he finds Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons downlow right at a griming layout, good feed by
Speaker 1: and beat his six assists through three, the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: held a ninety eight eighty two advantage. Onto the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter t J McConnell. He's been battling to find his
Speaker 1: stroke as of Laton. He got a few buckets to
Speaker 1: go down. Good to see in the four two roots
Speaker 1: to thirty TJ. TJ underhead scoop and then on a
Speaker 1: hard drive at a bucket by TJ. McConnell's first field
Speaker 1: go to the game. Part of a really solid sound
Speaker 1: bench effort for the seventy six ers tonight. We will
Speaker 1: leave the last word on this evening to one. Joel
Speaker 1: Mba plays it into the lane to Joel turnaround shot
Speaker 1: by and beats good thirty four points for and b
Speaker 1: Sixers by a dozen. He tacked on a few more
Speaker 1: still after that. Will give you his final totals in
Speaker 1: just a second. But first we will take a look
Speaker 1: at the team as stats. In tonight's win for the
Speaker 1: seventy sixers, they're forty eight on the year. The Sixers
Speaker 1: shot and even fifty percent for the game. The Brooklyn
Speaker 1: nets at forty four and a half percent, the Sixers
Speaker 1: with twelve three pointers nets with eleven, but Spencer Dinwittie
Speaker 1: and Daniel Russell combined to go two for ten from
Speaker 1: outside the arc. They were held to combine twenty six points.
Speaker 1: Good effort by the seventy sixers defensively on those two. Tonight,
Speaker 1: Sixers got going from the free throw line as the
Speaker 1: game went on that was important to their win. They
Speaker 1: were twenty one to twenty eight. Brooklyn was nineteen of
Speaker 1: twenty nine, both teams even rebounding at forty five seventy
Speaker 1: six ers fours fifteen turnovers. The seventy Sixers committed ten
Speaker 1: Joel Meet with thirty nine points, thirteen rebounds and six assists,
Speaker 1: eighteen points for JJ Reddick, he had four to three points,
Speaker 1: sixteen for Bobon Marnyanovitch off the bench, Bobie with three
Speaker 1: boards as well, eleven for Mike Scott, he was three
Speaker 1: for three outside the arc, four points for t J
Speaker 1: McConnell and Shake Milton, Jimmy Butler with nine seven and
Speaker 1: three Tobias Harris with ten rebounds, Ago with six points.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons disqualified with six personal fouls, but really good
Speaker 1: when he was out there in thirty minutes sixteen points,
Speaker 1: eight assists and four rebounds to go with a steal.
Speaker 1: Seventy Sixers and the Brooklyn Nets split the season series.
Speaker 1: They went two and two against each other. This year,
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers have a three game roadie starting on
