Speaker 1: This is seventy six Ers. Rewind time now to listen
Speaker 1: back to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game,
Speaker 1: tough loss the Atlanta Hawks tonight by the seventy six
Speaker 1: Ers one twenty nine two one twenty seven. I'm Brian Selza.
Speaker 1: That's going to have a stage from Marina. I believe
Speaker 1: we have Bret Brawn. It just I'm having a great,
Speaker 1: great night. I think it's a little of both. You know.
Speaker 1: The game at stages was bizarre to me. Really. Some
Speaker 1: of the turnovers in the fourth period were we were
Speaker 1: head scratching, and I think some of that, I think
Speaker 1: some of the defensive lapses we had in the first half,
Speaker 1: we're head scratching. And then you put it into the
Speaker 1: melting pot of them, you know, being playing good basketball,
Speaker 1: and they had some offensive fire palla to sort of
Speaker 1: punish those areas that I just mentioned, and we couldn't
Speaker 1: overcome it in the end. And I think it's sort
Speaker 1: of a combination of both of the things that you
Speaker 1: just mentioned. The Hawks a lot did you want to
Speaker 1: come up, but an adjustment. We had probably three or
Speaker 1: four different things from blitzing to switching to hedging to dropping,
Speaker 1: you know, if you saw, like really dug in and
Speaker 1: looked at that, you would you would have seen that.
Speaker 1: And I can't say that any of them were incredibly effective,
Speaker 1: but they did force us to try to make different
Speaker 1: adjustments in the picking role. Thank you, Thank you, seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers head coach Brett Brown after tonight's one twenty nine
Speaker 1: to one twenty seven lost the Atlanta Hawks, the second
Speaker 1: straight game the Sixers have dropped to Atlanta, and the
Speaker 1: Sixers six game winning streak, it was a season high,
Speaker 1: has now come to an end. On Brian Seltzer, Trey
Speaker 1: Young wins it on a really impressive floater at the
Speaker 1: horn with point one second to go. I mean, not
Speaker 1: only did he had a four time All League defender
Speaker 1: matched up on him in isolation with timelinding Dad and
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, he was able to release was Young the
Speaker 1: floater just underneath the free throw line, with Joel Embad
Speaker 1: creeping up from under the basket to apply some pressure. Listen,
Speaker 1: sometimes you got to tip your hat to a great
Speaker 1: individual play and player, which certainly Trey Young looks like
Speaker 1: he's going to be thirty two points. He had twenty
Speaker 1: one points in the first half and then came up
Speaker 1: huge in the fourth quarter. Now what, it's not easy
Speaker 1: to tip your hat to some of the things Brett
Speaker 1: Brown just alluded to. The seventy Sixers defense at the
Speaker 1: start of the game, throughout the first half, especially on
Speaker 1: the perimeter and on some of the drives into the paint.
Speaker 1: Not what you would expect from the team that we
Speaker 1: saw beat the Milwaukee Bucks last Sunday and then a
Speaker 1: couple of days after that knock off the Boston Celtics
Speaker 1: on Wednesday at the Center that was not good in particular.
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting you're watching these two teams play
Speaker 1: and thinking about the two coaches. There's Brett Brown, of
Speaker 1: course for the seventy Sixers. There's Lloyd Pierce, who was
Speaker 1: with the team in the last five years now with Atlanta,
Speaker 1: and philosophically, there's a lot of similarities both the Sixers
Speaker 1: and the Hawks. They play with pace, they emphasize three
Speaker 1: points shoot, while Atlanta statistically may not be a great
Speaker 1: defensive team. You know that Lloyd Pierce, who was the
Speaker 1: defensive coach for the Sixers the last five years, that
Speaker 1: is his calling card, one of his areas of expertise
Speaker 1: and a perfect world at Land would play better defense.
Speaker 1: I thought they actually played pretty good defense tonight. But
Speaker 1: within that for Atlanta, especially on the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, how often they were able to rely on
Speaker 1: pick and roll with Trey Young, whether it was a
Speaker 1: guy like Dwayne Deadman or just I beg your pardon,
Speaker 1: Alex len Tom talked about him. Lenn was phenomenal tonight.
Speaker 1: He really had an impact on the game. I know
Speaker 1: the plus minus numbers might not show it, but you
Speaker 1: could tell he was a body that the Hawks could
Speaker 1: put on Joel Embiid and they were able to get
Speaker 1: him on some pick and roll conversions. That's something that
Speaker 1: difference from the Sixers. The Sixers don't rely on that
Speaker 1: type of offensive scheme as much. It's more durable handoff past,
Speaker 1: side to side, that sort of thing. And the Sixers
Speaker 1: they struggled despite different adjustments they tried to make in
Speaker 1: defending pick and roll tonight, and they played with fire.
Speaker 1: They ultimately did get burned. It was going to be
Speaker 1: a game that the Sixers had managed to win it,
Speaker 1: you would probably walk away from saying, well, yeah, the
Speaker 1: Sixers very fortunate to have come out on top. They
Speaker 1: were not fortunate because in the end, Trey Young made
Speaker 1: sure that the Hawks would take this one in the end,
Speaker 1: one twenty nine to one, twenty seven to seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: now forty seven and twenty six. The Atlanta Hawks improve
Speaker 1: to twenty six and forty eight with their second straight
Speaker 1: victory and a tough opportunity missed by the Sixers tonight
Speaker 1: to gain ground in the Eastern Conference standings with both
Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers having lost in the Boston Celtics as well.
Speaker 1: We'll touch base with Tom McGinnis coming up next. It's

Speaker 1: at the final horn to the Atlanta Hawks, essentially one
Speaker 1: twenty nine, one twenty seven. Troy Young a floater in
Speaker 1: the lane with point one second to go, icing it
Speaker 1: four the Hawks. The seventy Sixers had an inbounds play
Speaker 1: but could not get anything from it with that little
Speaker 1: time left. I'm Brian Seltzer. Indiana Pacers lost their previous
Speaker 1: game to the Golden State Warriors. The Boston Celtics lost
Speaker 1: earlier today to the Charlotte Hornets. The seventy Sixers miss
Speaker 1: out on an opportunity to gain some ground in the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference standings going into the final two and a
Speaker 1: half weeks of the season. Let's bring on Tom McGinnis
Speaker 1: from State Farm Arena. Tom Early on, the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: were messing around with this game. They were fortunate to
Speaker 1: be in position to win it. Jimmy Butler again big
Speaker 1: in the fourth, but Trey Young had the final say yeah,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. You know, once they tie the
Speaker 1: game at one hundred into the fourth, you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: enough's enough, let's try it. Let's take care of business.
Speaker 1: But they kept letting Atlanta hanging around to your point,
Speaker 1: Jimmy had eight, including four free throws two field goals,
Speaker 1: and as Brett Brown, you know, you kind of like
Speaker 1: to hear it from the coach because I thought, you know,
Speaker 1: I made a lot to do of those turnovers, and
Speaker 1: he called a bizarre and that is, like I said, like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like I said. On balance, you
Speaker 1: look at the numbers and you're like, wow, what a
Speaker 1: great game, except for how the Sixers took care of
Speaker 1: the basketball or lack thereof, and some of the turnovers
Speaker 1: in the game, and it costs them. And you know,
Speaker 1: you got to ratchet your intensity and your discipline, all
Speaker 1: of those things against a team twenty three games under
Speaker 1: five hundred, just like you got too against the Boston
Speaker 1: Celtics or the Thunder of the Pacers of the book,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And that that was that
Speaker 1: was lacking here tonight and it cost them the game.
Speaker 1: So real frustrating tonight. And again this team, you know,
Speaker 1: they're building Atlanta, they're building for the future. These types
Speaker 1: of g You think Trey Young's not gonna remember this.
Speaker 1: He just did a game when he shot over Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler and the Sixers one of the top teams in
Speaker 1: the East. He's gonna remember this for the rest of
Speaker 1: his career, and he's obviously headed for some grandeur, you know,
Speaker 1: experiences because he's a terrific player. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: one of the treats of being able to travel and
Speaker 1: be with this team and for that matter, being a
Speaker 1: season ticket holder and being able to come out and
Speaker 1: watch this talent. And having said that, he did not
Speaker 1: play Trey Young eleven in the first game a bit
Speaker 1: of a non factor. I think they run night number
Speaker 1: two of them back to back in that first week
Speaker 1: of the season when they were in Philadelphia, and then
Speaker 1: at eighteen points, Hurd was the guy in that game.
Speaker 1: But tonight you saw what the big deal was about.
Speaker 1: Trey Young thirty two points, eleven assists, I mean range
Speaker 1: that stretched out to Gwynette County and just an incredible talent.
Speaker 1: And for the Sixers, you know, like, I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: part of the job is being honest, and you gotta
Speaker 1: be you gotta be better than that. They should have
Speaker 1: won this game and they didn't, no question, And it's
Speaker 1: really you know, you think about the turnovers down the stretch.
Speaker 1: Seven of the fourteen coming in the fourth quarter, three
Speaker 1: of them from Joel Embiid, I mean, and they got
Speaker 1: away with one that he gave away thanks to Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons and Jimmy Butler with the steel on the potential
Speaker 1: open court run out with about a minute and a
Speaker 1: half left that ultimately sent Butler back to the line.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was just the type of game where
Speaker 1: it seems like, you know, you're thinking back, and I
Speaker 1: couldn't help but think, like, hey, remember when the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers were that team trying to push the boulder up
Speaker 1: the mountain collectively and become a franchise that could win
Speaker 1: on a sustained basis. It was like, Yeah, the Hawks
Speaker 1: came out with that type of spirit. They were loose,
Speaker 1: they were free, They started hitting their shots early, and
Speaker 1: there was no sawing them down. And I think, you know,
Speaker 1: going back to young, when you have that dual threat
Speaker 1: of being able to score as effectively as he could
Speaker 1: and also pass, it really put the Sixers defense on
Speaker 1: its heels. Well to your first point, I thought of
Speaker 1: that too prior to the game, where you know things
Speaker 1: are reversed. When the Sixers were coming down here three
Speaker 1: to four years ago during a ten win season, Atlanta
Speaker 1: was winning sixty games, So that was a dramatic reversal
Speaker 1: or an exact reversal record wise of where these two
Speaker 1: teams were at that time. I mean, this team was
Speaker 1: making the conference finals when Mike Scott was here. And
Speaker 1: then to Tray Young, like, you know, you're taught as
Speaker 1: a young player, don't make one hand passes, the thought
Speaker 1: being that if by any chance the guy all of
Speaker 1: a sudden has covered, you have both hands on the
Speaker 1: ball and you can bring it back and you're not
Speaker 1: going to turn over. Plus you're just more adept at passing,
Speaker 1: they're going to be more accurate. Well, this guy, he
Speaker 1: uses the one hand pass left and right, and it
Speaker 1: was really effective because where I saw to his advantage
Speaker 1: speaking of Young and his distribution of the ball. Guys
Speaker 1: are coming out at him. Sometimes a secondary defender is
Speaker 1: coming over and he's holding onto that ball and he's
Speaker 1: coming around that those defenders and get an inside to
Speaker 1: one of his teammates who was just you know, their
Speaker 1: defender left, so he was I mean, it's a treat
Speaker 1: when you watch a kid with this kind of skill
Speaker 1: and it shows you know, so many young people now
Speaker 1: that we've seen Curry handle the ball and all these
Speaker 1: great players handle the basketball, Kyrie, and it's one thing
Speaker 1: to be able to just sit there and found that
Speaker 1: that's not it. But when you have this ability with
Speaker 1: both hands to handle the basketball and you can get
Speaker 1: and you have the quickness and the athletic ability to
Speaker 1: get to any spot you want, boy, you can do
Speaker 1: damn it. You can break down a defense. That's what
Speaker 1: he did. That's what he did on that final play.
Speaker 1: He's probably the most slight player out there in terms
Speaker 1: of weight. He's young, I believe he's only twenty years old,
Speaker 1: maybe pressing up on twenty two. But what a talent
Speaker 1: and that, like I said, the other thing is when
Speaker 1: you read about his background, his father taught him to
Speaker 1: shoot from range growing up, and that again, that's the
Speaker 1: opposite of how you're taught early on, and that is
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to shoot on most guys,
Speaker 1: their fathers won't let him shoot, or their coaches won't
Speaker 1: let him shoot beyond a certain limit. Where his dad
Speaker 1: wanted him to increase his range, and he's taken that
Speaker 1: to this level in the best basketball league in the world.
Speaker 1: So for the Sixers, again, you know, like you You
Speaker 1: don't want to make too much of it because you
Speaker 1: can't go down to Orlando and repeat the air got
Speaker 1: you have to improve and get better, go over things.
Speaker 1: And but it's just to come off that high of
Speaker 1: the win against Boston and then lose this game that
Speaker 1: that's hard for a team that this is no longer
Speaker 1: a young team, not with these additions and not with
Speaker 1: the experience of Simmons and be this is no longer
Speaker 1: a team that's growing, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: they're they're pushing. They're not a young team anymore, certainly
Speaker 1: not by experienced ten games in the playoffs and and
Speaker 1: all like that. So you cannot make these mistakes and
Speaker 1: and and drop a game like this. It's it's got
Speaker 1: to be extremely frustrating for the coaches and the players.
Speaker 1: But you got to clean it up and go down
Speaker 1: to Orlando. And those games have been awful close with
Speaker 1: the Magic this year. Not an easy game as well,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Tom. We will talk to you
Speaker 1: on Monday from Amoy Center. Okay, good night, Brian, and
Speaker 1: about that, and we'll talk about this also in the
Speaker 1: final segment. Oh yeah, the Orlando Magic. They've won four
Speaker 1: consecutive games. They are one game back of Miami for
Speaker 1: the top spot in the semi subpar Southeast in terms
Speaker 1: of record, but Orlando's a good team. All teams in
Speaker 1: that division are under five hundred. The Magic or sub three.
Speaker 1: In terms of being under five hundred, they're thirty five
Speaker 1: and thirty eight. But they've won four in a row,
Speaker 1: and they've already beat the seventy six Ers at Amoy
Speaker 1: Center earlier this year. That was if you remember the
Speaker 1: night of Jimmy Butler's debut. So the Magic fighting to
Speaker 1: get to that top spot in the Southeast and subsequently
Speaker 1: with it, the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference playoff
Speaker 1: race does not figure to be an easy game on
Speaker 1: Monday nights. Tonight was a tough one for the Sixers.
Speaker 1: They loose the Hawks one TWEE twenty seven. We'll get
Speaker 1: to a couple highlights and close this thing out next
Speaker 1: The Sixers Rating Network. The Delaware Bluecoats half a Rod

Speaker 1: Sixers fall at State Farm Arena to the Atlanta Hawks,
Speaker 1: beginning a two game road trip, and Brian Selzer let
Speaker 1: us get two some of the highlights. Early on, you
Speaker 1: could tell the Hawks were rated roll for this one.
Speaker 1: The seventy Sixers had trouble matching their intensity, Butts, a
Speaker 1: former Hawk, Mike Scotts, helped put the seventy sixers in front.
Speaker 1: Reddick trying to get free from baseball out to Scott
Speaker 1: for three, and that's good. Mike Scott knocks out in
Speaker 1: the third three of the game for the Sixers. It's
Speaker 1: thirty two to thirty and it sparked a nine nothing
Speaker 1: run that would vault the Sixers into the second quarter
Speaker 1: leading forty one to thirty four. But the Hawks, they
Speaker 1: answered quickly. In the seventy Sixers were trying to fend
Speaker 1: off their hosts. There's Mike Scott corner three, rimming around
Speaker 1: no rebound put back errors. Great job by Tobias Harris.
Speaker 1: The Paths follows up the miss and then things started
Speaker 1: to change really quickly. That made it a fifty to
Speaker 1: forty eight game in favor of the seventy Sixers. The
Speaker 1: Hawks would go on a nineteen to three tear to
Speaker 1: take control. They would lead it at the half by
Speaker 1: the score of seventy four to sixty eight. Seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: had ground to make up. The Sixers trailed by double
Speaker 1: figures midway through the third, but then Ben Simmons put
Speaker 1: the key and ignition Simmons with a one on one
Speaker 1: with Vince Carter. Ben drives it, hangs fires, rimming around
Speaker 1: and good. Ben Simmons going left the right able to
Speaker 1: get the field goal, part of a ten nothing seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers run that ultimately set them up to go into
Speaker 1: the fourth tide at one hundred. After jj Reddick scored
Speaker 1: five points in a row in the fourth quarter, it
Speaker 1: was close, close, close. The lead changed hands a couple
Speaker 1: of times. Seventy Sixers they were knocking on the door
Speaker 1: to finally getting over the hump, and after a series
Speaker 1: of Atlanta missus, Jimmy Butler went to the free throw
Speaker 1: line made at one nineteen one eighteen, and the Sixers
Speaker 1: got another stop to set up this, Ben Simmons of
Speaker 1: the ball, Collins backs up, Ben takes into the late
Speaker 1: left hand hook. He got a difficult shot, but hand
Speaker 1: by sevens Auber Collins and the Sixers go up by
Speaker 1: three one twenty one, one eighteen under two minutes to go.
Speaker 1: But then things started to get a little bit hairy.
Speaker 1: John Collins hit two free throws to Allenby turned the
Speaker 1: ball over the lad to an easy run out jam
Speaker 1: for Kevin Herder that put the Hawks in front one
Speaker 1: twenty two till one twenty one went back and forth.
Speaker 1: The Sixers got a lay from Jimmy Butler to tie
Speaker 1: it with fifty five seconds left one twenty five, one
Speaker 1: twenty five. Butler then hit free throws with forty seconds
Speaker 1: to go one twenty seven, one twenty five seventy Sixers,
Speaker 1: but Torrian Prince he was able to score it to
Speaker 1: even up at one twenty seven apiece with twenty five
Speaker 1: seconds to go. The Sixers committed a shot clock viol
Speaker 1: with three and a half seconds left, leading to this
Speaker 1: tied at one twenty seven, three point five to go.
Speaker 1: Atlanta inbounding Hurder surgery look. He goes in to Trey Young.
Speaker 1: Three seconds Young gonna drive fifty, got it, and Atlanta's
Speaker 1: gonna win the game point one to go, and they
Speaker 1: certainly did one. Twenty nine one twenty seven the final score.
Speaker 1: Hawks and the seventy sixers each shot forty six percent
Speaker 1: from the field, but Atlanta, courtesy of the seventy sixers turnovers,
Speaker 1: they were able to put up fifteen more shots and
Speaker 1: make seven more field goals in the sixers Atlanta with
Speaker 1: fifteen three pointers the Sixers with ten sixers. They were
Speaker 1: able to hang around and stay closed, especially in the
Speaker 1: first half, thanks to their free throw shooting seventy six
Speaker 1: ers thirty three to thirty nine from the line. The
Speaker 1: Sixers plus three on the glass. Seven of their fourteen
Speaker 1: turnovers came in the fourth, three coming from Joel Embiid
Speaker 1: and Bead finished with twenty seven and twelve. Twenty five
Speaker 1: points for Jimmy Butler, eight coming in the fourth. Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons with twenty one point, six rebounds, and nine assists
Speaker 1: to go with four steals and two blocked shots for
Speaker 1: the Hawks. Leading the way Trey Young with thirty two
Speaker 1: He was dynamite twenty one points in the first half,
Speaker 1: also eleven assists, twenty three points Victorian Prince who had
Speaker 1: four three pointers fourteen off the bench for alex Land,
Speaker 1: who also had four rebounds and helped the pick and
Speaker 1: roll offense go for the Atlanta Hawks. And there was
Speaker 1: also a body that the Hawks could throw on Joel
Speaker 1: and beat seventy six Ers. Season long six game winning
Speaker 1: streak is over there now forty seven and twenty six.
