WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 4/6/2019 ~ Rewind vs. Bulls 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.800 This is seventy six Ers. Rewind time now to listen 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:06.840 back to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.600 The final road trip of the season for the Philadelphia 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.520 seventy six is a two game road tripper, starting in 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:16.479 Chicago tonight and obviously again on Tuesday. As Tom again 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.960 has pointed out in Miami, Hello, this is the Sixers 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.800 postgame show here on the Sixers Radio Network. I'm Divine Givens. 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:26.040 And with that start in Chicago tonight, they reach fifty 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.560 wins for the second straight season, back to back fifty 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:32.920 win campaign since the eighty four, eighty five, eighty five 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.520 eighty six seasons. Brett Brown, of course, congratulations to him 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.839 for guiding these two seasons back to back with these 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.199 two ball clubs led by Joel and bad Ben Simmons 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.519 and the rest of the corps. As they win tonight 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:49.240 in Chicago one sixteen ninety six. Great performances from JJ 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:53.760 Reddick and Joel and bad solid contribution overall with six 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.640 players and double figures for the Philadelphia seventy six tonight, 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:58.760 and they pretty much got things out of the way. 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.600 Relatively early late run by the Chicago Bulls, but it 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.880 wasn't enough, as the seventy sixes again win this game 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.240 by twenty points. As we head back to the United 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.880 Center checking in with Tom again. As Tom, as Brett 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.840 Brown pointed out, and the end of the postgame press 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.640 conference there outside of the visitors locker room, the goal, 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.520 of course was to come in here flat out and 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.680 get a win, reached number fifty and in that three 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.520 game winning streak. And they did that handling their business tonight. 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.720 Yeah they did. And you know they obviously they should 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.040 have beaten this team and they were able to do 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.680 so by by twenty points. And you could just see 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.039 a clear separation in talent level with the likes of 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.080 a beat out there against some of these younger Chicago players. 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.800 There were a number of fays into the lane by 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.920 the Walt Lemon junior, who's gotten an explosive quickness and 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.560 you know, for brief moments, not just tonight, but in 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.760 the few games that he's played in that he's from Chicago. 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.320 He brought up some some hopeful reminiscence of Derek Rose, 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.520 who obviously played here at Simeon High School. But my 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.200 point is, you know, Dwell with just swatting those shots away, 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.400 and you almost in watching the game, and we're lucky 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.840 enough to sit courtside here in Chicago, you're almost like. 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.200 Ebad was like, are you serious? And meanwhile, and the 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.280 younger players for the Bulls are like, oh my gosh, 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.720 this is so difficult. Because Joel was dominant at times 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.000 here and JJ continues his hot streak, Ben was solid, 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.800 Tobias Harris had his moments, and I thought the bench 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.120 played a lot better. And again, if those were the 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.959 Bulls starters, then their bench was even a deeper Obviously 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.519 reserve if you will for the Bulls and Greg Monroe 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.400 lucas As here only had one basket shake, didn't do 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.720 a whole lot of things out there. I thought TJ 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.440 played well and boban ever efficient as always four for five. 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.600 I'm going back to JJ Reddick who four time there 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.560 when Joel Embiad was out. You can maybe attribute some 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.799 of the shooting woes to the absence of Joel Ebad 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.440 since they worked so well together in tandem. But over 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.840 the last five games, over twenty three points a game, 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.000 and tonight with the twenty three very efficient once again 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.000 eight to twelve from the field, four of seven from 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.520 he looks very comfortable out there right now. Oh he does. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.480 And he's really as a basketball fan, he's so fun 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.560 to watch because he works so hard and he makes 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.600 the most of the limited opportunities he gets. In other words, 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.960 you know, he's not taking a lot of guys off 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.440 the dribble, but the small little openings he gets around 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.560 the arc, he's he's like a basketball sniper. He's able 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.200 to score in a tight window. And you know, again 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.399 he sets great screens. He's got a tremendous basketball IQ, 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.160 and he's just really especially when you have a big 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:35.000 man like him, be that commands so much defensive attention 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.560 from the opposition. And that's part of the reason that 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.040 grouping works so well. That as you saw the kind 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.920 that tannem on the perimeter with the dribble handoffs, you know, 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.000 they fear that it Bed's gonna roll, and that's something 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.080 really you gotta guard against. So it's a it's an 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.600 increasingly effective combination for the Sixers. And having said that, 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.200 it has been over the last couple of years. Live 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.240 from the United State, Tim again and he's joining his 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.640 post game here on the Sixers Radio Network, and Tom. 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.880 We see often when Joel embiid is not available Joanah 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.480 Bolden or Bob Marianovitch and his starting unit Jonah Bolden 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.640 in the last few times. Now, Tom, we're starting to 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.320 get and see him a little bit with the juggling 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.680 of the lineups in the absence of Jimmy Butler, a 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.560 little tweaking by Brett Brown, where we've now seen Jonah 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.640 Bolden at the fourth spot, playing out there with Joel 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.520 Nbad and he's come up pretty nicely tonight twenty four 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.800 minutes and forty three seconds and four of seven from 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.040 the floor and not thinking so much when he's shooting 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.560 those threes three or four from distance right and he's 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.600 getting open looks. And that's kind of what I was 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.640 just talking about with Joel, because he's out there with 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.400 it beat. Not that they're in a lot of two 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.720 mad actions, but with the ball swinging and you know, 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:41.960 bang bang, and now you get it all the way 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.280 over there to the opposite side, he gets a lot 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.520 of really good looks. And he's proven to be a 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.400 pretty efficient three point shooter. At one point in this 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.240 game he was three for three. So again, I look 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.040 at all, I'm sure Jonah Bolden's gonna have a little 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.080 bit of nerves going into the weekend postseason games starting 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:03.400 next next weekend at the Center, understandably so. But the 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.200 fact that he's going to be in there, and again 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.400 I've mentioned this before looking at Mike, even though they're 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.640 different players, Mike Scott, they're gonna be able to They're 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.120 gonna get some looks from three and that can be 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.240 you know, two or threes and a half can help 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.080 you separate and win a playoff game. So I think 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.520 that's really exciting, and that's part of developing these players. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.240 And of course during a long season like this, you're 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.400 gonna need guys at different phases to start to step 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.679 in to play the four of the five. And Jonah's 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:31.760 going through all of that. And again he's at his 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.599 ups and downs, like you know, one game good, one game, 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.120 two points. Tonight, real steady and helpful for the sixers. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.239 He went four of seven with eleven points. And that's 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.919 for a guy who played He played twenty five minutes. 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.800 He might not play that in the postseason, but certainly 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.920 real productive and good signs. Even as the year, as 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.920 you heard at the very end with coach, you know, 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.440 you don't think he'd play but you never know, even 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.000 if it's to come in and guard a guy or 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.920 take a foul. Next thing, you know, you're still out 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.600 there and you make a three. It's just to have 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.840 these guys at least have a little bit of experience, 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.279 and Jonah certainly more than a little. Is I think 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.559 potentially beneficial going forward. In the NBA postseason tom Final 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.760 one four US again, Sixers win one sixteen ninety six 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.360 fifty wins back to back seasons, the first since to 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.520 eighty four, eighty five, eighty five, eighty six campaigns in 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.800 their eighteenth such season, enfranchise history. Brett Brown of course, 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.240 going through the rebuild all those years, these last two seasons, 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.320 putting up to fifty a remarkable feat by him. Yeah, 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.400 and you just said it really without even I'm not 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.880 saying you didn't know. But like in the iconic history 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.520 of the Sixers, only eighteen times have they won fifty games. 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.560 You know, like even those great teams in the late 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.400 nineties and two thousand and that with Allen Iverson, they 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.040 didn't do it. They did it that year in two 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.840 thousand and two thousand and one, But it's hard to 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.960 do and that's what you're looking forward the whole part 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.280 of the Sixers process, if you want, the year is 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.360 building up to this. You've been looking for what sustained 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.560 sess and winning fifty games in back to back seasons 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.039 is a start getting to the playoffs. Last year's second round, 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.840 ten playoff games, and that's what you're you're looking to 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.560 build on, you know, your successes of the past, and 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.560 for the Sixers, quite frankly, it's and everybody else would 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.800 say this as well, it's all about the postseason. As 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.400 Brett Brown just said post game, he understands that's the focus. 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.040 That's that's where you earn your money in the postseason. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:30.400 But there's certainly something to be said about establishing, you know, 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.280 the winning mark. I've always said, if you're going to 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.400 be a fifty one team, you got to be around 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.760 five hundred on the road. They are, they're now twenty 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.000 and twenty and then at home thirty and ten. So 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.280 all good. And certainly that home court dominance has been 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:48.680 really a big thing within the Sixers season. And let's see, 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.640 I mean here a week from tonight tomorrow, maybe postseason 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.920 basketball at the center and you're getting you know, obviously 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:57.400 a little bit of a hiccup there with the three 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.520 losses in a row, back on the winning track, taking 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.000 care and business in the last two games would equal 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.000 to fifty two wins they had a year ago. Yeah, 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.320 and that six seven eighth seed is gonna be jumbled 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.360 up with all those three teams time at the bottom 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.760 fighting for that position and the only game in the association. 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:19.200 Earlier this afternoon, Brooklyn beat Milwaukee one nineteen, made threes. 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.880 Laverte had four of the best. Yeah, that's scary, Yeah 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.920 it is, and they do play the seventy six is 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:26.800 very well, So we'll see how things play out over 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.240 the final few days. Time. Great job, has always been 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:30.840 good to speak with you, and we'll catch up with 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:35.040 you Tuesday live from Miami for the Dwayne Wade ceremonies. Basically, 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.360 good night you two. Tom. Tom mcguinnis live from the 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:42.600 United Center. Sixers victorious for the fiftieth time this season, 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.160 one sixteen ninety six to record now stands at fifty 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.959 and thirty on the campaign twenty two and fifty eight 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.640 for the Chicago Bulls. Again, as we just pointed out, 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:56.000 Brooklyn forty and forty after the victory this afternoon over 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.240 the Milwaukee Bucks now forty and forty with the same 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.080 record as the Orlando Magic, but the tie breaker goes 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.000 to the Brooklyn Nets right now. If the season ended today, 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.240 which we know it does not, it doesn't end until Wednesday. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.760 For the seventy Sixers, those two teams will match up 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.600 next weekend in the first round. Started the first round 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.680 of the playoffs live from the Center, so that would 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.120 be a fun matchup. But we will certainly keep our 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.800 eye on the Orlando Magic, the Pistons, the Nets, and 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.520 the Heat as they figure out the bottom part of 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.600 the Eastern Conference standings. Seventy Sixers will certainly be a 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.600 fun and tough out in the postseason, so we'll get 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.360 to that as things come. But tonight again Victorious fifty 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.040 two percent from the field, thirty three from behind the 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.800 three point line, taking twenty seven shout attempts from deep 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.640 nine of twenty seven, JJ Reddick four of seven and 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.440 Jonah Bolden combined for seven of eleven. Those two guys 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.320 really shot it well from distance. On the evening, fifteen 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.120 of twenty six from the free throw line for the 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.000 seventy six Ers verses twelve or fifteen, so of course, 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.800 taking advantage and they always do whenever Joel ebad is 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.480 in the game. Jimmy Butler as well, who was not 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.959 there tonight. But they get to the free throw line, 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.800 and tonight had a tough time converting them fifteen of 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.040 twenty six. Hopefully that's not an issue going forward.

As JJ Reddick got things started, 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.560 the Chicago Bulls scored six straight of unanswered of course 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.240 to the Philadelphia seventy six is JJ Reddick starting things 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.040 off for them with a jumper, Ben Simmons with a 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.040 dunk to make it eight to four. Tobias Harris also 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.840 getting in the mix, making it sixteen fourteen seventy six 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.480 is as a lead first take take their first lead 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.440 of the game Ben Simmons. We know about the dunking 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.360 and the layoffs, but in a little unconventional way of scoring. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.440 Here for the all star point guard Sixers with Simmons 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:12.240 in the quarter against Felicio Jacar Sampson has Joel Jonah catches. 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.880 Now he finally sees Joel. They double the beat. He 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.040 throws it over the bed, I mean really rockets it 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:21.199 down there and Simmons on the turn round it good turnaround, 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.800 fade away and one for Ben Simmons. That made to 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.440 score twenty one eighteen sixers at that point. Former Sixers 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.480 Tim and Taylor wild Cavalreau counters with a driving layup 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.240 make it twenty one twenty. But JJ Reddick would have 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.559 none of that with this bucket right here from deep 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.360 Sixers by one with the ball see here Smith at 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.520 one quarter, Jj and the other Reddick comes up the 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.440 pre board. Art can get it from Joelle, shoot the 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.400 three out top and it's good bottom all den for j. 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:50.040 J Reddick his first three of the game. Sixers lead 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.840 by four without twenty five seconds to go with the 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.520 first that would be the score at the end of 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.720 one twenty four twenty Sixers. Ben Simmons starts to quarter 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.080 off with a bass get in close to make it 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.239 twenty six twenty three, We talked about Jonah Bolden contributing 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.560 at the power forward spot, playing alongside Joel and bid Well. 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.520 Here's one of the connections from the perimeter isel for 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.120 Joel fakes on Galicia right hand dribble back, He's double 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.520 cross courts kip. Jonah Bolded per great bag, it's good 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.760 and the Sixers of the good kickout, pragmatic play by 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.040 it be that maybe thirty one twenty three Philadelphia with 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.120 the advantage. Also Jonah Bolden connecting a little bit later 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.920 on to make it thirty eight thirty two, we spoke 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.120 about former six of Tim and Taylor Wild with Cabero, 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.120 where there was another former sixer with a bigger impact, 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.400 Jacar Sampson. Back out the Sampson shoots at three and 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:43.600 that's good. Japar Sampson looking over towards the sixers bench 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.920 competent swagger, that kind of inkling up maybe or should 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:53.160 have kept it. Jacar Sampson contributing in a lot of 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.640 different ways, of variety of different ways that went from 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.439 distance to make it thirty eight thirty five. He had 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.640 seventeen points to lead all all scores at the break. 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.040 My man Mike Scott contributing from distance as well. His 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.160 only bucket of the night, knocking down a triple was 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.440 to make it forty five forty three. But going into 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.960 the half we know JJ Reddick's phenomenal with a three 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.560 pointer and one to make the score fifty seven forty seven. 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:21.240 But before that, in b Simmons All Star connection six 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.800 ers ball up four, here's a libbing and pred Hammerton 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:29.360 the right hand chap up top down hard Joel a 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:34.520 p Rock Ben Simmons pressive play best all night fifty 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.360 three forty seven. A great play from those two young 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.640 guys as they again get ready for the postseason. JJ Reddick, 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.560 as as I said, with a three pointer and of 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.640 foul make it fifty seven forty seven. Score at the 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.800 break fifty seven forty nine. Jacar Sampson leading all scores 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.760 with seventeen on the first in the first two quarters, 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.640 Tobias Harris getting into the mix yet again, and the 0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:00.560 start of the third quarter Marijanovitch John d and there 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.520 it is with the Boby and Toby show is to 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:09.080 Bias Harris stores the ball seventy six sixty midway through 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.040 the quarter. Well it didn't stop there, Toby, Boby, So 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.920 Boban and Toby, how about this time Boban getting in 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.240 the mix, shake with a move, No good, Bobo with 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:22.040 the rebound, He's foul that he stores at Marianovitch klow 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:27.240 towering over the helpless defenders of the Chicago Bulls basket 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.000 and the foul making the free throw.

Now the game is 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.840 pretty much in hand. Let's get these guys off the floor. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.080 But Ben Simmons wanted to do something a little bit 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.440 to put a stamp on this game before he exited. 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.400 Joel opened momentarily, but fed will bring it across, hold 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.760 up to head, dribble, goes in out policeio side stuff 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.320 a bed of hammer, throw it out a two half 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.880 half minbad run again, Simmons running rough shot over Chicago, 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.480 full head of steam. They allow him to go down 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.280 the lane. Great finish from y'all star point guard ninety 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.359 one seventy one. He finished the night fourteen points, four rebounds, 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.640 four assists, six and ten from the field very efficient 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.120 in twenty six minutes in fifteen seconds. JJ Reddick had 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.200 a phenomenal night yet again, a great five game streak 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.640 going on his last one from distance, Jowell trying to 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:21.880 get through that trap passers out to JJ Reddick for 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.760 three of the part one. Oh fine, it's good. JJ 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:29.000 Reddick was an incredible off ballance baseline shot it beat 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.760 with the feed Reddick with twenty one his fourth train 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.480 ninety three seventy three yet again, his final trade for 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.720 the night for JJ Reddick to shop shoot of four 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.560 Philadelphia for twenty three points, right on his average over 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.240 the last few games. He has been fantastic. And we 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.160 close things out, of course with the newest seventy sixer 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.240 in his first few minutes of action, and he really 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.040 got some things done in his ten minutes of run. 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.080 Here's Greg but Row pumped by Sampson in the foal. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.600 The Row with a nice move with the post, and 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.760 that's good. So Rog gets his second field goals. Sixers 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.560 are gonna go to the line, but Row could shoot 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.680 for the three point play and he makes the free throw, 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.919 converting that one oh four eighty six. He finished the 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.280 evening four or five from the field, ten minutes of 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.439 run for the veteran big man newly signed nine points, 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:22.000 two rebounds, two assists for Greg Munroe.

They had so many players out due 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.320 to injury or if you can basically injury for the 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.520 Chicago Bulls about seven players not playing as you look 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:53.640 at their their injury list in their inactive list, basically 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.000 all of their starters, which they are, all of their 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.720 starters outside of Robin Lopez, the veteran big man on 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.640 the injured list, and the seventy sixers totally took advantage 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.960 in their absence, winning this win Tonight one, sixteen ninety 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:10.560 six once again for the Chicago Bulls, Jacar Sampson and 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.520 Timid Taylor, while with Cabalo the leading scorers form of 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.080 seventy six ers for the Chicago Bulls twenty nine points 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.040 off the bench for Jacar Sampson, eleven of seventeen one 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.520 or five from deep, getting to the line seven times, 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.960 knocking down six of those free ones eight rebounds again 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.240 in the thirty five minutes and eighteen seconds of action 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.000 Timid Taylor, while with cabal Row five of twelve from 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.040 the field, one of six from deep, fourteen points, six 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:36.640 boards for the veteran or for the young swing man 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:40.280 formerly of the Philadelphia seventy six or sixers back in 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:45.600 action on Tuesday night for the ceremonies of the Wayne Way, 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.280 the future Hall of Famer who will retire at the 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.840 end of the season. And while Miami is still fighting 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:54.399 for a playoff spot, they that game really means something 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.800 for them. But we know that the retirement and the 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.320 ceremony that we we'll be taking place for the final 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.040 home game for the Miami Heat on this season will 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.760 really overshadow what thing what will happen in that game 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.119 on Tuesday night, So the seventy six is hopefully can 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.679 go in there and get another win, secure things in 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:14.880 that third spot as they are now two games up 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:18.320 on the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference standings. As 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.679 Boston is forty eight and thirty two on the season, 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.320 Indiana now forty seven and thirty three after those two 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.640 hit the floor last night in Indiana, Boston taking down 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:28.760 Indiana to take the one game lead over them in 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.040 the fourth spot, Philadelphia locking down home court advantage in 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:35.080 the Eastern Conference playoffs as of last night with the 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.000 loss to Indiana and now creeping their way up again, 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.960 the seventy Sixers, with two games remaining, win these next 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:42.760 two in the Boston loss, will win one in the 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.879 Boston loss, and they have three spot for all by themselves. 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.360 No worry about what the Celtics will do. So we'll 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:51.720 see how things play out, but we will certainly check 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.760 back in with you on Tuesday night Live from Miami. 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.320 Brian Seltzer, Tom again, its certainly and back here at 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.520 the studio.
