WEBVTT - Rewind vs. Utah Jazz - 12/2/19 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.320 You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences, 0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:06.960 highlights and analysis from the seventy six ers previous game. 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:11.840 The seventy Sixers approved to ten and oh down here 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.040 at the Center with a one h three ninety four 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:17.200 victory over the Utah Jazz. I'm Brian Selzn right now 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:20.159 we join in progress the winning head coach, and that 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:25.560 would be none other than Brett Brown. Yes, and we 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.320 felt Al's pain in another uniform doing the same thing. 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:34.920 And you know, it's I think that there are still 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.320 to me two styles of play there. There is like 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.559 a how do you want to play with Joel Embiid 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.720 and there is a clear identity that we're trying to grow. 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.760 And then it's hit comes Alhofan and there is a 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.680 different type of team, that's a different type of track 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.920 meet going on and they're both different. And then there 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:55.840 are periods of the game, you know, to start and 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:57.400 the finish and so on. In the start of the 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.080 third like they collide, Joel and Al collide, and then 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.800 that's that that area that uh, you know, we're trying 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:06.559 to figure out a little bit. And I think there 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.959 to their credit, they communicate, well, there's a mutual respect 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.240 that from a fit from afar. Like watching these guys 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:19.240 grow as teammates. I love it seeing Al get a 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:23.440 little more comfortable and kind of nowhere. His scoring opportunities 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.960 are very lately, and that first quarter he seem like uh, 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:31.240 you know and the half ward really yeah right right 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.480 in Yeah, I think so when it's like, shame on 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:37.080 us if we think all this is just going to 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.000 happen just because he's good, like, you know, it takes 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.679 time and he's prideful any kids. He's trying to fit in. 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.360 You know, he's not a pig scorer, like he's a teammate, 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.600 and so him trying to find his place where he 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.960 can make a difference on this team, you know, comes 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.080 from I'm assuming through his eyes, it feels like it 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.480 through my eyes, with a level of care. Yeah, he's 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.160 trying to, you know, navigate this whole new city and 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.520 this new team with an element of class and care. 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.360 And I think that he's done that. And I feel 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.800 like as time unfolds, he's gonna and I talk like 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:13.600 to them like I just talked to you. It's like 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.480 you got an alhof A team. You know, this is 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.280 how it's sort of planned that you got a Joe team, 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.760 and now all of a sudden, you guys coexist and 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.919 we can put him in things. You know, we tried 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.440 to post him on Bogdanovitch as an example tonight when 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.320 he was a five man. I pick him, pop him 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.200 and make Rudy come out and you know, try to 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.160 guard him far away from the basket. And so we're 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.040 all kind of learning how to use what we have. 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.600 What have you seen front Tobias and the pick and roller? 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.440 Seems like you've gone to that action a little bit 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.480 more recently with him. I mean, it's all I get 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.440 a kick out of it, and and I ask myself at 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.080 times the question too. It's like, who's the closer, you 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.520 know who on this team? And what we should all 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:54.239 admit is that we have we have options. We have 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:59.360 a variety of people. On a given night, you know 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.680 that you might be able to go to win through 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:03.840 you know, we all kind of think it's going to 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.840 be Joel a lot, and so do I. But to 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.600 your point, you know, I felt like Tobias was able 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.480 to generate his own looks, you know, either through an 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.560 isolation or if you hold it a little bit, you 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.560 know that equals. Come get me, give me a pick 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.399 and roll, and we did. And I thought he made 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.600 some timely baskets in a funny part of the game. 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:30.160 We needed, we needed some buckets to truly close this 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.880 game up. Seventy six Ers head coach Brett Brown after 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.880 tonight's nine point one oh three ninety four win of 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.200 the Utah Jass seventy six Ers now fifteen and six, 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.240 ten and oh at the center. Second straight season, the 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.440 Sixers have started by winning their first ten home games, 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.320 just the sixth team ever in NBA history to achieve that. 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.400 Feat Tobias Harris, as you heard Brett Brown talking about 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.000 just a few seconds ago, big in this one, twenty 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.440 six points. Ten of his points in the fourth quarter. 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.600 He had two pivotal jumps, shots that re established a 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.960 twelve point lead for the seventy Sixers after the Jazz 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.800 claud back to within ten and kind of quelled a 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.000 Utah run. And for as big as Tobias was in 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.160 closing time, Al Horford was enormous in getting the seventy 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.480 Sixers started. He hit the first five shots he took 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.480 on the night. He was great picking and popping against 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.520 Rudy Gobert seventeen points, Horford finishing three for three from 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.360 outside the arc. He also had eight rebounds, five assists, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:33.320 two block shots. Ben Simmons fourteen points, eight rebounds, nine assists, 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.320 He had four steals plus nineteen in the game. And 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.400 Matisse Thybal with a really nice game off the bench. 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.560 He was perfect for three on three attempts for the 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.120 second time in four games. You go back to that 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.640 Sacramento Kings game. Thible with nine points off the bench, 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.000 three steals, and he actually got the start in the 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:56.320 second half, replacing for concork Bons. Seventy Sixers shut down 0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:00.719 the usually typically good three point shooting at Utah Jazz tonight, 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.680 beating the one h three ninety four. Rudy Gobert finishing 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.520 with twenty seven and twelve. Joel Embiad had sixteen and eleven. 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.200 Sixers rode the hot start to the finish and pick 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.920 up their fourth straight win, joined now by Tom McGinnis 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.640 following this nice nine point victory. It was one of 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.800 those games times where the Sixers got off to such 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.919 a dominant, convincing start, leading by twenty six points with 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.320 three minutes to go in the first half. I think 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.159 that probably no one wants to hear this. It's got 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.080 to be some human nature that sets in. It's probably 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.200 so difficult to maintain your focus from start to finish 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:37.880 in a game where you are are that much in 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.719 control early on. Yet that is the task and challenge 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.920 for an NBA team with championship desires and the Sixers 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.200 they needed to buyas Harris in the end to seal 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.800 the deal. Yeah. No, you're right about the human nature, 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.479 because I raised the exact same point. And yet you 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.760 know you almost have to be playing for yourself and 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.800 playing againsters By that, I mean, you know, for the Sixers, 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.680 you're striving to get better and play the more complete 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.440 forty eight minute game, and you know, to go up 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.880 by twenty six, and then again the ease with which 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.120 it was coming, you get to steal by thible of 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.880 the past to Ben for the jam. And right after 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.040 that Nis made a three and Horford begins the game 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.440 five for five, making three threes. As a group, you 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.280 make eleven threes in the first half, more than any 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.479 other half, but even that it was an eighteen point game. 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.599 And then what happens is you start to rush things 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.360 a little bit. Maybe you take a shot that you 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:31.240 would move the ball in another situation. Just incrementally, little 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.799 things happen, and you talk. To their credit, came back 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.360 and stuck with it and in the end they made 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:41.040 it a seven point game. And to your point, Tobias Harris, 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.159 like one of the strengths of his game, he's six 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:47.040 to nine off the dribble, able to shoot over people great, 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.159 facing up from around seventeen to eighteen feet, made some 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.679 shots from that area and even closer midpost right side. 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.839 Those were clutch baskets and help the Sixers over the top, 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.400 and that's why he was our player of the game. 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.560 Seventy sixers not off. The Utah Jazz split the two 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.760 game regular season series one oh three to ninety four, 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.719 twenty six for Tobias Harris, al horfor Tom seventeen points, 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:12.200 eight rebounds, five assists, And one of the comments that 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.440 we heard Brett Brown discussing the post game was just 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.400 how Al has gone about trying to fit in find 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.280 his way, Brett using a phrase I don't think i've 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.920 heard him use before, He's not a pig score, which 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.920 I kind of thought was an apt and interesting way 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:28.840 to put it. But it's like, yeah, Hall's got that 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.760 vibe a bad him where he's not going to tread 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.520 on anyone's turf. He knew the deal when he was 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.000 coming in and signed here, and how the Sixers team 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.800 was constructed. Yet he is finding spots. And listen that 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.560 stretch when it was him and Gobert when the Sixers 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.040 really got the lead in the second quarter, I mean 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.800 he was huge. Well, that is a derivative of ballhog. 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.760 That was one of the worries that we described it 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.080 growing up. And know what he is though, is smart 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.720 and savvy and talented, and so he has like in 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.600 many instances where he scored, he had Bogdanovitch on him 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.520 and he knows that that's not mcdonovic. Even though he's 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.760 six eight, he's not a The strength of his game 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.840 is not defense and b it's not interior defense. So 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.080 in many cases Al was going to work on him 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.280 and then he runs to the line. He's he's really 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.800 a depth a knowing about the space scene and a 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.960 lot of his threes come in trail positions or from 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.080 the top where he's been so good over the years 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.280 of quarterbacking and offense, and he gets good looks and 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.520 he catches and shoots. He doesn't Deley Delhi around when 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.920 he gets that ball out front. So his three point 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.080 efficiency Saturday early on against Indiana, when he started three 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.240 for three, was matched and duplicated tonight by making his 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.840 first three threes. And you know, he had twelve points 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.840 in the opening quoter of fifteen and a a halftime, and 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.560 that was part of that substantial lead. When the Sixers 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.319 built up a twenty six point lead, A lot of 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.960 it was due to the efforts offensively at Horford Sixers 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.360 over the Jazz. One of three ninety four thought Mat 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:57.559 Stibel was really good tonight. Brett Brown has described his 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.839 offense at times as being a little bit wild, and 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.559 the Sixers understandably trying to harness that. But you can 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.959 see his defense, what he's able to do, how he 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.640 impacts things so quickly. I mean that steal that he 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.360 had that then led to the alube dunk for Ben 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.320 Simmons that I don't know how you felt, but that 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.319 was like, all right, the Sixers have got this one 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.000 in their grasp right now. They then got another drive 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.400 by Ben after that, and James n his corner three, 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.480 and that was really when they put their grip on 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.600 this game, and it's like you see stuff like that. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.840 I mean, it's early on Amatiz's career and we've seen 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.080 some ups and downs, but he has made his presence 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.360 known defensively, there's no question about done. And I think 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.840 he's becoming more consistent. I think early on he was 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.240 he had difficulty finishing. You know, he had a couple 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.800 of games where he struggled on you know, like left 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.760 the right reverses. But once you gain the confidence, clearly 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.720 he's able to make those kinds of shots. And now 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.520 he's beginning to and you know, as he just said postgame, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.360 when he joined us, see a three shooter of three 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.480 and that is he's not backing down. He's in catching 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.000 shoot scenarios, able to get that ball from deep. And 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.800 so again, as I said the other night, because he's 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.680 been contributing more and more. When you have Richardson out, 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.240 it creates a more minutes on the back end, and 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.160 he's been playing a little bit more and delivering, and 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.839 you know he's going to hold his own defense. I mean, honestly, 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.480 I think he gets called for a lot of things 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:19.160 that aren't necessarily fouls, and I think that'll change after 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:20.880 a certain point, he's going to get a lot of 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.760 respect and that that comes with the calendar when he 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.520 becomes a second year player, and you know, the referee 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.920 say that there's no distinction of fouls of foul, but 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:31.800 trust me, he gets called for a lot that in 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.959 the coming years he won't get called for. You'll be 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.080 able to stay out there longer. But he is rock solid. 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.040 And as I said, if he can become a consistent 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.560 contributor where he maybe is the seventh guy out there 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.480 with Nis or whomever. And really, I mean, he's going 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.320 to be able to help the Sixers because if this 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.560 is a program built on defense, that's the strength of 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.200 his game.

Would they 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.520 do it against the Utah Jazz. Early signs where this 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.440 might be a competitive game. Al Horford helped get the 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.559 seventy sixers jump started. Touches ball four forty five to go, 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.600 Ben out top the Tobias Harris on the move against 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.640 Poydonovitch crossest one to the points back outside Horford three 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.520 ball on the air by big out.

Seventy Sixers would 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.040 open things up a bit in the final moments of 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.560 the first quarter. The lead was thirty one twenty three 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.480 heading into the second. That is where they tightened their 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.800 grip even more. Here's sives, but it's deflected. They steal 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.920 the ball Mike Conley as it picked up. Now Thiball 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.440 steals it back from them in the late lob sevens. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.160 Ooh yeah, one of the best plays of the year. 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:20.640 Bet seven stuffs at fuck taste, Thibal steals it lops 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.920 in at seven slam. It was terrific and if the 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:27.079 Sixers didn't have enough energy before that, that really provided 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.040 a spark as the Sixers took a twenty point lead 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.160 and they were still very much in the driver's seat 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.959 as the first half was winding down. Here's Utah with 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.360 another poor play. Bob Donovan crows it away to Bias 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:44.240 with the dentist into three catches, driving shooting three balls. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:48.400 God oh man, the Sixers are blowing out the Utah chase. 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.280 At that point it was twenty five fifty two to 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.200 twenty seven. Seventy Sixers lead would grow to twenty six 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.200 for the first half came to a close. They were 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.280 up in commanding fashion sixty to forty two going into 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.719 the break and the third quarter. Joel Ebad and a 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.240 tough matchup Tonight got himself back on the board thirty 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.440 footer that makes it a seventeen point game. Horford against 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.800 Boydanovitch and now the Sixers go to the same exact 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.040 play and b with a one hand, right hand shot. 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.520 Good That kept the Sixers in front by nineteen. They 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.400 led by that margin eighty five sixty six going into 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.760 the fourth. Now the Jazz started to creep a little 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.880 bit closer. They got within fifteen points with just under 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.439 nine minutes to go in the game. Tobias Harris a 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.079 great fourth quarter scoring effort and then went on Saturday 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.800 of the Pacers was large in the fourth quarter again tonight, 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.080 which a sixteen point game.

That put the 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.840 Sixers of ninety three seventy five. But Utah would twice 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.960 trim the deficit to ten points, and in each instance 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.640 it was Tobias Harris coming up with a timely play 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.280 sevens with an Harris screens to Bias near way, gets 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.120 it against Bitchell eight to shoot.

Tobias Harris scores it. 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.000 They gave the Sixers a ninety seven eighty five lead. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:13.640 They would see it through to a one oh three 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.400 ninety four victory, seventy Sixers getting by despite shooting under 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.520 forty one percent from the field. They were thirteen of 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.160 twenty six, though from three point territory eleven of those 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.080 threes coming in the first half. The Jazz shot forty 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.840 seven percent, but only five of twenty two from three. 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.480 They entered tonight's game with the fifth best three point 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:35.680 percentages a team in the NBA Sixers plus five on 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:39.040 the glass, plus three offensive rebounds, but outscoring the Jazz 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.640 by seven on second chances. Sixers defense had a really 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.160 nice job when the game was really of consequence turning 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.680 Utah over. They forced twenty turnovers, which they converted into 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.720 nineteen points. The Sixers were led by Tobias Harris with 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.200 twenty six Harris also with nine rebounds and three assists 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:00.440 seventeen points.
