Speaker 1: The Sixers take care of Brooklyn one twenty one ninety five.
Speaker 1: Welcome back our final segment here and then we'll hand
Speaker 1: it over to Brian Seltzer, who's also here. That it
Speaker 1: sounds like Brett Brown is available outside the Sixers locker room.
Speaker 1: Let's throw it to the coach and his availability right now.
Speaker 1: Well to do that, than things of things are looking
Speaker 1: quite positive with a group that we have. If people
Speaker 1: can offensive rebound, you know you're in a whole new world.
Speaker 1: I think we dropped to nineteenth or twenty one or
Speaker 1: something that doesn't isn't so good. And so we've been
Speaker 1: talking about it. We show it daily after every game
Speaker 1: film session, talking about it, trying to drill it and
Speaker 1: get better at defensive rebounding, especially how much more important
Speaker 1: because Robert's defense, because when Joel's not back there, Um
Speaker 1: it does, it does become more important. I think to
Speaker 1: what I think you're saying, Riches, like the front door
Speaker 1: stays shut. He really can move his feet and keep
Speaker 1: people out of the paint. Um. He and he's been
Speaker 1: playing some fool lately, you know, if you look at
Speaker 1: how we've been playing him. I thought tonight his ability
Speaker 1: to we call it guard the yard. Can you not
Speaker 1: get beat on the first dribble? Slide your feet was
Speaker 1: elite third quarters, not just is there a goal for
Speaker 1: your guys, not just a whole of the opponents to
Speaker 1: a little number, but see how great we can make
Speaker 1: the scoring margins, because that's been yeah number and it's
Speaker 1: been a It's always the hard part I think in
Speaker 1: my years in the NBA is like, how do you
Speaker 1: come out of a locker room? How do you come
Speaker 1: out at halftime and buying large? I think, you know,
Speaker 1: the first few minutes, you know, some coaches got to
Speaker 1: yell at the team and call it time out and
Speaker 1: the game sort of gets real again. Our guys have
Speaker 1: jumped into third periods for the most part. And you know,
Speaker 1: tonight I could hear JJ talking about Detroit is waiting
Speaker 1: for us. You know. The fact that we can jump
Speaker 1: on these guys and try to like balance the gym
Speaker 1: in relation to playing more of the bench and not
Speaker 1: really pounding people with extending extended minutes was interesting, Like
Speaker 1: he's such a he's such a pro, he's a veteran,
Speaker 1: And it was as sound a message as I could
Speaker 1: think of that he delivered to the team and so
Speaker 1: the third periods. It's true we've been jumping out tonight.
Speaker 1: I think maybe JJ had a little bit to do that.
Speaker 1: Bena Marquel obviously played together a little bit at the
Speaker 1: start of the season. Have they gotten any time in
Speaker 1: practice now? I mean the days of practice nowadays don't exist,
Speaker 1: and they really don't. And you know, you try to,
Speaker 1: as I've said in my sort of walk down of
Speaker 1: the playoffs, is how do you keep the health, this
Speaker 1: spirit in the form those three things and in that
Speaker 1: autumn and you find that the realities of when you're
Speaker 1: on the floor minimal, and when you are on the
Speaker 1: floor it's not sort of full contact and you know,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent type stuff, tape stuff, and so you
Speaker 1: get educated in a film room, you get educated through
Speaker 1: a walkthrough, and in that environment they've done a little,
Speaker 1: not a lot, just a little. But I intend to,
Speaker 1: you know, continue to look at that and try to
Speaker 1: grow that. Sixers coach Brett Brown Sixers win one, twenty
Speaker 1: one ninety five. This is the Philadelphia has seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: postgame show. If I can look about about broach free
Speaker 1: zars is gonna turn and get it off. Maddie Rolls
Speaker 1: and the Sixers post game show Right now on ninety
Speaker 1: seven five the Fanetic be the longest anti winning street
Speaker 1: in the National Basketball Association, rolls right on along and
Speaker 1: convincing fashion and no less here at this center in
Speaker 1: South Philadelphia. Tonight one one ninety five, the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: over the Brooklyn Nets. Brian Seltzer with you from Sixers
Speaker 1: dot com. This was a good win for the Sixers tonight.
Speaker 1: A little back and forth with the Brooklyn Nets midway
Speaker 1: through the first period, Ben Simmons setting the tone for
Speaker 1: the squad during that stretch and along with Arson Iliasova,
Speaker 1: helping fuel a nice eleven nothing run to end the
Speaker 1: first quarter. They added five more points that spurt going
Speaker 1: into the second, and from there the Sixers were essentially
Speaker 1: in the driver's seat. The Nets claude within two points
Speaker 1: midway through the second quarter, of the Sixers answered with
Speaker 1: thirteen more in a row. They had a twelve point
Speaker 1: lead to the break and never looked back, blowing things
Speaker 1: open in the third quarter. Balance all around. Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: with fifteen points, twelve rebounds and six assists, just the
Speaker 1: second rookie ever to reach twelve hundred point six rebounds
Speaker 1: and six hundred assists in a single season. JJ Reddick
Speaker 1: continues to be his veteran steady self, leading the Sixers
Speaker 1: with nineteen Robert Covington a great two way press, ersan
Speaker 1: Ilyasova a double double, and markl faults in the rest
Speaker 1: of the Sixers bench. All good stuff. Tom McGinnis had
Speaker 1: the game call of tonight's Tom, do you remember what
Speaker 1: you were doing back in nineteen ninety the Sixers last
Speaker 1: one eleven straight in season because eleven of the Sixers
Speaker 1: players in the roster were not even born yet. In
Speaker 1: a strange twist, I was calling pro basketball, but at
Speaker 1: a different level, and it was in the CBA. Pretty
Speaker 1: amazing stuff. Now, it was great some of these numbers,
Speaker 1: like the other one where they've won by double digits
Speaker 1: for nine games in a row and that's the first
Speaker 1: time ever. You're like, really so no, Like I said,
Speaker 1: it's just astonishing that just even not last year. Let's
Speaker 1: go back two years ago, the year of the Sixers
Speaker 1: won ten games. Some of these numbers somewhere in there, Brian,
Speaker 1: wasn't that not a twenty six game losing streak. So
Speaker 1: some of the numbers that were of shall we say
Speaker 1: dubious distinction are now the complete opposite, where the Sixers
Speaker 1: are going into uncharted waters in the most positive of directions,
Speaker 1: including individual statistics like what Simmons did denied in terms
Speaker 1: of joining Oscar Robertson with over twelve hundred points in
Speaker 1: his first season, He's already accumulated over six hundred rebounds
Speaker 1: and six hundred assists. I mean to be in the
Speaker 1: same grouping as Oscar Robertson. He's not closing in on
Speaker 1: Will Chamberlain for triple doubles, but he's up there with
Speaker 1: Bobby or excuse me, you know, Billy Cunningham and some
Speaker 1: of the others. The names that he's brushing up against
Speaker 1: with some of these statistical accomplishments is amazing. Then, And
Speaker 1: as I say, as the team twenty games where they've
Speaker 1: held the opposition under one hundred points, they've won the game,
Speaker 1: it's just an on and on and on. The assist
Speaker 1: that Coach Brown mentioned, I knew he was going to
Speaker 1: be looking at that. He's so proud of that accomplishment.
Speaker 1: With the way the Sixers are sharing the ball, and
Speaker 1: to me, not only this is what I've called like
Speaker 1: kind of taking care of business, they should beat Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: but they pounded him. They took him right out of it.
Speaker 1: And with the contributions eight guys in double figures all around,
Speaker 1: just remarkable in terms of whether it's a winning streak
Speaker 1: of eleven games that dates back to the first time
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety is just amazing on many different fronts,
Speaker 1: Sixers out scoring the nets twenty one to five points
Speaker 1: off turnover as part of a very solid effort on
Speaker 1: both ends by the Sixers at the time. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like you look down some of these statuets and
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm guilty. He's charging this front. Of course,
Speaker 1: you want to talk about guys like Ben Simmons and
Speaker 1: Joel E. Bieber's health and even something like Mark el
Speaker 1: Folks tonight, but JJ Reddick's having a career year in
Speaker 1: his twelfth season. He's going back to the playoffs twelve
Speaker 1: or twelve as a pro. Nineteen points tonight helped widen
Speaker 1: things in this one tonight, And I guess maybe, at
Speaker 1: least for me, it is sometimes take a little bit
Speaker 1: for granted just how steady and good and how much
Speaker 1: of a fit he's been on this rock now during
Speaker 1: these runs. It again the Sixers had three substantial runs
Speaker 1: that helped separate them from Brooklyn sixteen eleven oh thirteen.
Speaker 1: Note he was right in the midst of those scoring sprees.
Speaker 1: The Sixers ran the same play three times in a row.
Speaker 1: Four Reddick and that is Ben had on the right wing.
Speaker 1: He threw it to a mirror, a mirror with a
Speaker 1: dribble handoff the JJ Reddick on a tight curl around
Speaker 1: that getting open leaning to and with that separation, whether
Speaker 1: it was Harris on him or Dinwittye or Hollis Jefferson,
Speaker 1: he's able to create the separation and get the shot
Speaker 1: off clean. Look like Bell Andelle. He's very effective at
Speaker 1: off balance shooting. He's just a basketball sniper. And then
Speaker 1: you add the leadership in what Brett Brown was referring
Speaker 1: to and JJ Reddick, assuming it was at halftime yelling, hey,
Speaker 1: look the pistons I'm assuming he affected, especially the Pistons
Speaker 1: are waiting for it. They're resting, and we need this.
Speaker 1: In other words, let's put this away right now. We
Speaker 1: have it right in front of us, where these guys
Speaker 1: can play twenty some odd minutes instead of thirty plus.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened. And the balance and the depth.
Speaker 1: It's really all coming together, and Reddick is a major
Speaker 1: part of it. Sixers over the Brooklyn Nets one one
Speaker 1: to ninety five, and out's on to Detroit, a team
Speaker 1: that about a month and a half ago, Tom was
Speaker 1: right in the mix of things with the Sixers for
Speaker 1: positioning in the Eastern Conference standings. The addition of Blake
Speaker 1: Griffin has not gone their way, Detroit entering today four
Speaker 1: games behind the eight spot in the East with about
Speaker 1: a week and a half left, So the Sixers an
Speaker 1: opportunity to close out this back to back. No Dario
Speaker 1: starts tomorrow, but Detroit has talent. Even though they don't
Speaker 1: have the record to show for it in terms of
Speaker 1: what they were expecting, they still can be a very
Speaker 1: dangerous team. No, I mean you reflect back all the
Speaker 1: way to the opening days of the season. The Sixers
Speaker 1: were oh and three, and they go in there on
Speaker 1: a Monday night and gain their first victory, and then
Speaker 1: I thought the other two games with Detroit, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be knocked down drag outs, and the Sixers handled them
Speaker 1: with these Now, Reggie Jackson missed some of that early
Speaker 1: portion of the season with the knee the Sixers have
Speaker 1: yet to face him. With Griffin and they're not going
Speaker 1: to face him tomorrow. I understand he's got a bone bruise.
Speaker 1: He's out, so Drummond and Jackson is back. They've actually
Speaker 1: played well of late. In fact, they just beat Brooklyn
Speaker 1: on Sunday. If Smith has performed, they're not an easy
Speaker 1: team to beat. I'm surprised, quite frankly that it didn't
Speaker 1: come together. Now. Obviously they've had their ups in their downs.
Speaker 1: They made a huge trade, and you got to think
Speaker 1: Blake Griffin going forward for them and stan Van Gundi
Speaker 1: will be very helpful. But it does not look like
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to get into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And for the Sixers, you know, one game at a time.
Speaker 1: They got to take care of business to keep this
Speaker 1: streak alive right on the hills of Cleveland. Shaping up
Speaker 1: to be a monster game Friday, but it's not as
Speaker 1: big if they don't win the game tomorrow and go
Speaker 1: to Michigan. And I think the Sixers known that they've
Speaker 1: been acutely aware. That's what Brett Brown keeps saying. These
Speaker 1: guys are totally aware of the home court advantage. What
Speaker 1: they need to do and how to take an arrest
Speaker 1: situations in a game and win them. To me, that's
Speaker 1: one of the biggest things they've matured right before our
Speaker 1: eyes games during the early part of the season that
Speaker 1: would get away to Sixers, see a problem in a
Speaker 1: game and this is what coach was talking about prior
Speaker 1: to the game, and take care of it right then,
Speaker 1: whether it's rebounding or running a team off the line
Speaker 1: or this that of the other Simmons has been dominant
Speaker 1: and it's just been an amazing streak and the Sixers
Speaker 1: with one more opportunity tomorrow before coming back here against
Speaker 1: the Cavaliers. Well by Tom McGinnis. Tom talks to you tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Got it great to talk to you, Brian. Seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: knock off the Brooklyn Nets one twenty one to ninety five.
Speaker 1: Tom's highlight calls coming away on the other side, it's
Speaker 1: the postgame showing the Sixers Raider Network ninety seven five
Speaker 1: the Fanatic the back of this season for the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers hosting the Brooklyn Nets tonight, It's off to Detroit
Speaker 1: for a game against the Pistons tomorrow. Here's how this
Speaker 1: one sounded, courtesy of the one and only Tom McGinnis
Speaker 1: Sixers and the Brooklyn Nets went back and forth in
Speaker 1: the early going. Sixers fell behind by as Manis five points,
Speaker 1: but Urson Iliasova helped trigger a response six rebounds. Now
Speaker 1: for Simmons, your sons same spot free ball fame resolve
Speaker 1: Iliosoma has put it in Simmons with the dish Sixers
Speaker 1: down league twenty five twenty two, and they would take
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty two to lead into the second quarter.
Speaker 1: Of the Sixers extended that run and they got a
Speaker 1: little bit of help off the bench Folds with a
Speaker 1: drive folds into the lake folds of the bellas Bank
Speaker 1: shot right at Spencer did with a hanging in the
Speaker 1: air and markul Folds Dangley left the right fades and
Speaker 1: scores it off the window that deposit cap Day sixteen.
Speaker 1: Nothing spurred for the Sixers, putting them up by eleven
Speaker 1: thirty three to twenty two, and in many ways that
Speaker 1: gave them control for the duration of the evening. Now,
Speaker 1: the Nets did come back a couple of times in
Speaker 1: the second quarter, slicing the deficit to two with about
Speaker 1: four minutes to go. In the first half, Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: was great at the outset of the first half, and
Speaker 1: he was also very impactful in the closing minutes. Ben
Speaker 1: dribbles in front of Countingham, turns on the Jets, keeps
Speaker 1: it right hand, lamp up and gun. Ben Simmons weaving
Speaker 1: through the bed court and getting the underhand right hand scoop.
Speaker 1: He's got a dozen plus nine rebounds. Sixers lead by
Speaker 1: eleven fifty seven forty six. They would go up by
Speaker 1: twelve at the half, sixty one to forty nine. In
Speaker 1: the third quarter, the Sixers sees command once again. Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons was right in the fray. Simmons gets it back,
Speaker 1: driving it down to night left hand scoop on. Jared
Speaker 1: Ellen is good. He climbs the ladder of the longhorn
Speaker 1: and scares the ball. Sixers were up sixty eight to fifty.
Speaker 1: We also saw a little bit in the third quarter
Speaker 1: of Ben Simmons playing alongside markul Foults. They did so
Speaker 1: for about three and a half minutes. Now was the
Speaker 1: first since Foltz's first four games of the season. Foultstan
Speaker 1: was in control the backcourt himself. At the end of
Speaker 1: period number three, Belloni tips up the fault Marquel on
Speaker 1: the run down the nine and round one man puts
Speaker 1: it up and good barquel fault qualt, impressive athletic crod
Speaker 1: out of foul and the crowd loves that equally as much.
Speaker 1: Help the Sixers to a ninety three seventy one lead
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter. Don't forget about TJ McConnell
Speaker 1: in the Sixers backcourt rotation. When he's been given minutes,
Speaker 1: he has delivered outlet. McConnell followed extended right side off
Speaker 1: the left hand bounce in the lane, off balance shop
Speaker 1: a good McConnell. He actually squared up in the air
Speaker 1: but was drifting right to left and McConnell scores it.
Speaker 1: They made it one on one seventy seven to nice
Speaker 1: embrace after that between t J McConnell and Brett Brown.
Speaker 1: The Sixers very much sensing at that early point of
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter that they had this one in hand
Speaker 1: and an eleventh straight victory in their sights, final lons.
Speaker 1: From the final statuet, the Sixers one twenty one ninety
Speaker 1: five winners over the nets of the Sixers shot fifty
Speaker 1: four and a half percent from the field, nine to
Speaker 1: twenty one from outside the arc. They were twelve of
Speaker 1: eighteen from the free throw line. They outrebounded the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: nets by twenty twenty eight assists for the seventy six
Speaker 1: Ers just ten turnovers. They outscored Brooklyn twenty one to
Speaker 1: five off turnovers. Brooklyn, you could tell early on they
Speaker 1: were going to live and die on the hill called
Speaker 1: three pointer. Seventeen of their thirty four baskets came from
Speaker 1: outside the arc, and more than half of their eighty
Speaker 1: one field goal attempts were from three. If you have makers, great,
Speaker 1: If not well, you put yourself at risk, and that
Speaker 1: was indeed the case tonight. Sixers dominated in side sixty
Speaker 1: two to thirty two in terms of points and on
Speaker 1: the break eighteen to nine. Individual notes. Sixers had eight
Speaker 1: players finished in double figures, leaving the way JJ Reddick
Speaker 1: with nineteen eight to fifteen from the field, just one
Speaker 1: three pointer needed for him, seventeen points for Marco Belinelli
Speaker 1: on seven of eleven shooting. Ben Simmons fifteen points, twelve rebounds,
Speaker 1: six assists. He is the second rookie ever to reach
Speaker 1: twelve hundred points, six hundred rebounds, and six hundred assists
Speaker 1: in a single season. The other Oscar Robinson for the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Royals back in nineteen sixty nineteen sixty one. The
Speaker 1: only other six Er to hit those marks in a
Speaker 1: single season, regardless of experience, was a man named Wilt Chamberlain.
Speaker 1: He did it twice. Robert Covington was awesome on both
Speaker 1: ends of the court plus twenty two twelve point six rebounds,
Speaker 1: four steals and three blocked shots, eleven points thirteen rebounds
Speaker 1: for Urson, Iliasova, Rashaun Holmes with eleven and ten points
Speaker 1: apiece for Mark el Foltz and TJ. McConnell. Faults five
Speaker 1: or eight from the floor and three assists to go
Speaker 1: with two rebounds good stuff from markl Faults with win
Speaker 1: the seventy six Ers forty seven and thirty the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Nets with the lost drop to twenty five and fifty three.
Speaker 1: The Sixers win the season series against their division rival
Speaker 1: three games to one. Let's scan the Eastern Conference scoreboard
Speaker 1: as shall we, And there are a lot of games
Speaker 1: because there were none last night in evolving postseason hopefuls,
Speaker 1: and we will scan them as follows. Milwaukee the eighth
Speaker 1: seed leading Boston eighty six eighty two. About eight minutes
Speaker 1: ago on the fourth quarter. Boston entered today two games
Speaker 1: back of Toronto for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 1: The Washington Wizards a noteworthy team. They are the sixth
Speaker 1: seed right now and they are being blown out at Houston,
Speaker 1: even with john wall one o two to eighty five. Also,
Speaker 1: Indiana right behind the seventy sixers by a game, trailing
Speaker 1: Denver thirty nine to thirty six with about four and
Speaker 1: a half minutes ago in the first half. That game
Speaker 1: in Denver, and the main game of importance in the East, well,
Speaker 1: hold on, I'll build up some suspense. One more went
Speaker 1: past my ticker. Yes, Miami survives at home versus lowly
Speaker 1: Atlanta one o one to ninety eight, so they will
Speaker 1: stay in the seventh spot. But the big game tonight
Speaker 1: was Cleveland hosting Toronto. Cleveland the three seed, Toronto the
Speaker 1: one seed. With a win and a Calve's lost, and
Speaker 1: the Sixers could have leapt into the third place spot.
Speaker 1: That did not happen. Cleveland beating Toronto at home one
Speaker 1: twelve to one oh six, and all of a sudden, Cleveland.
Speaker 1: You look at their last ten, they're now nine and one.
Speaker 1: But the Sixers, they have the longest winning streak in
Speaker 1: the NBA right now with eleven in a row, their
Speaker 1: longest streak since January and February of nineteen ninety. They
Speaker 1: go for twelve straight tomorrow night against the Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 1: It is a seven o'clock start time pregame coverage on
Speaker 1: some of our Sixers Rated Network affiliates beginning at six fifty.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to talking with you at that point in time.

Speaker 1: guys came back with a sixteen oh run, an impressive
Speaker 1: victory here at home against the Nets. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: it's so fun outcast. We'll just kind him up, you know,
Speaker 1: strolling out of the gates. But you know, like you said,
Speaker 1: you know the sholdiland well in the beginning, but you know,
Speaker 1: we stick with our defense, obviously believing it and believing
Speaker 1: a system. And like you said, you knowing down with
Speaker 1: the up twenty points. When you're playing the five spots
Speaker 1: starting well even maybe not starting in that role, but
Speaker 1: playing it a lot more without Joel, how does your
Speaker 1: mindset change in terms of how you play it? Obviously
Speaker 1: it's it's tough, you know, obviously mostly defensively because they
Speaker 1: don't Joe really great, you know, down down the pain.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously all black the shots. But you know,
Speaker 1: we all try to do just you know, stay front
Speaker 1: that guy. You know, the believ a concepts, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: for us to be able to you know in those
Speaker 1: games you have to be shown defensefull. You know what,
Speaker 1: this is what we did in US, get a couple
Speaker 1: of stops and just around offense. You definitely did that, Erst,
Speaker 1: Thank you, congratulations. We appreciate your time.
