WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 1/17/2019 ~ Rewind vs. Pacers

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:09.719
<v Speaker 1>to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. I

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>may just have to do it right off the bat

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>to open up to night's postgame show. Strongest performance, best

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>win of the season for your team in your town,

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>your Philadelphia seventy Sixers. I think you have to give

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>it to him one twenty ninety six over the Indiana Pacers,

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the team in front of them in the Eastern Conference standings.

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm Brian Seltzer from Sixers dot com as the Sixers

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 1>win in Indie twice in the same season for the

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>first time since two thousand and four to two thousand

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and five. It came in which amazingly enough the Sixers

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>if you retrace the steps, they were scoreless for the

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:46.480
<v Speaker 1>first three and a half minutes. They ended up handing

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Indie its second worst loss of the season. Brett Brown

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>is at the mic. Excellent players and to come in

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>to Indianapolis and be able to sort of set the

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>table with a defense and then to your second point,

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>you know it out and share the ball, I mean

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>to have you know again a large number thirty eight

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>assists with Jimmy Joel and Ben having eight each and

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.199
<v Speaker 1>having thirty eight out of our forty six made baskets

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>assisted is a statement, you know that that we're proud of.

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>So you guard, you share. It's at the table for

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a good night. Just had a nice bigger sign too,

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>as you still have a lot of question marks about

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 1>how people fit in on offense. At least everybody's willing

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>to share the ball with together, right, and that's it

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 1>ross you in this carry over from the last time

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that we played we had forty assists and then the

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>last time we play at home, we we backed that

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>up with thirty eight tonight. The fact that it's dispersed

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>amongst our group with eight with Joel out of five

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Man and Jimmy has sort of a playmaking if you will,

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>point God sort of two three three two whatever, and

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>then Ben doing what he does and go aa. That's

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>a huge statement and we made some shots behind that.

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>But I'm proud of us sharing and caring. This is

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>a tough place to play in and we've talked a

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>lot about this upcoming stretch of games. This was really

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>game one of this stretch. How how big was that

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:12.839
<v Speaker 1>h off in the right foot? I mean it's it's

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:18.399
<v Speaker 1>it's all incrementally important. UM. We get sort of we're

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>under the microscope a lot as it relates to this

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 1>portion of our season. UM. The the the additional sort

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>of expectations in the city. UM have brought a new

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 1>attention to our team and we we we appreciate it.

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>And so here we are. Everybody gets this portion of

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>our season. And tonight, you know, step by step we

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>responded and it doesn't get any easier as time unfolds

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>over the next two weeks. Talk about Joel's performance, we're

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>playing with the back like that. Yeah, you know, I

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>mean with Joel, we listened to him first, and then

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you listen to the medical people second, and as a group,

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, they decide that he's able to play. And

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought that him coming out and playing with that spear,

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.239
<v Speaker 1>and you could tell as time unfolded he got a

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit looser and looser and there was more of

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>a fluid flow to his game. But I thought in

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>that third period, you know, we went on thirteen to

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>four run at the end of the period, and I

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 1>think starting even the fourth there were some good things

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 1>going on with Joe hitting a really big three in

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Muscala back in that up vice versa, but Joe was

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>huge tonight. Keith then his seventy Sixers head coach Brett Brown,

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>after a big win for the seventy Sixers tonight at

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Baker's Life Field House one twenty ninety six, I'm gonna say,

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and I don't really like or feel comfortable giving takes

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>very much, but I'm gonna go with this is I

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>think pretty clearly the best performance of the season for

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers. Not the biggest margin of victory, although

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty hefty tonight twenty four points against the Pacers,

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>but just everything that went on in tonight's game. As

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Brett Brown alluded to some of those subplots over the

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>course of the portion of the press conference that we

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>heard six or shy fifty three percent from the field,

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>fifty three percent from three and that's not just a

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>throwaway fifty three percent. They were eighteen of thirty four.

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>They had thirty eight assists on forty six baskets, but

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>they started the game with thirty two dimes on their

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>first thirty seven makes I mean, that's just a ridiculous

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>rate for assist percentage. It's crazy and it's really stylistically

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the way the Sixers play passed the ball, share the ball, defend,

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>and what they did against Indie, one of the top

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.159
<v Speaker 1>shooting teams in the NBA tonight, held into forty percent

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>nine of twenty nine from outside the arc. You know,

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Victor Oladipo six to twenty from the floor. That's saying something.

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.479
<v Speaker 1>Boyon Bogdanovich, he was three for eleven, one of seven

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>from three. But the biggest thing is the defense looked

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>like it was together tonight, much like it was against

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the Timberwolves on Tuesday. So to see some carryover going

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>on the road in a difficult building and starting the

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>stretch of beginning tonight twelve and orrow against teams over

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.039
<v Speaker 1>five hundred right now, just a great and encouraging way

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>for the seventy Sixers to get things started. Win number

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty on the year, all right, I asked us to

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>thirty wins for the Sixers since the finals run in

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.039
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and two thousand and one. Jimmy Butler was

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>very much the tone setter tonight. He was great for

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers, finishing with twenty seven points on ten of seventeen,

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>shooting six of six from the line, five rebounds, eight assists.

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Joel embead a great finished tonight's game. He finished set

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 1>five of eight from the field after starting the night

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>four four eleven in the first half twenty two points,

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>thirteen rebounds and eight times. Ben Simmons finished better than

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>he started at eleven points, eight rebounds, eight assists. JJ

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Reddick was great six and nine from three twenty points

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>even on the night for him, he had five times

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>as well. He can't forget guys like Wilson Chandler and

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Mike Muscala who stepped up over the course of the evening.

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>One Twitter ninety six. These Sixers beat the Indiana Pacers.

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.800

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm Brian Selzer. Tom McGinnis was there, Jimmy Butler the

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.919
<v Speaker 1>way with twenty seven points. We'll bring on Tom right now. Tom,

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to put you on the spot, but

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 1>would you say best win of the year? Oh, I

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know that. It came easier than I thought it

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.359
<v Speaker 1>was gonna be, you know what I mean? So, Brian,

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I really put me on the spot. No, I'm kidding.

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>It was certainly up there. You know. I would say

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 1>top three for sure. You know, to me, if you

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>beat Boston or Toronto on a road, you know what

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean. But no, this was a huge game, and

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 1>like I said, you know, the whole way through, and

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 1>again I wasn't trying to be overly hyped or dramatic,

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>but for them too, just lead Oladipo. As soon as

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>they beat the Suns, they said, all right, well wait,

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>let's see how we do Thursday and how we do

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>against some of these other teams. And again the Sixers

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>came in two and six against the teams, and one

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>of those was a win in Toronto against Toronto when

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>they were less than than healthy. But they lost to

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Boston and the Raptors twice, and in Milwaukee and to

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the Pacers. So they come in here and gained a victory,

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>and just the way they did it to me makes

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 1>it when you say, is it the best win of

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>the year, certainly, you know, the way they did it

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>to play almost identically in terms of the numbers, with

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the threes and the assists and the balance like they

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 1>did against Minnesota and back to the game, that's very impressive.

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>And then they have such a cushion that it didn't

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>really there was at no point. It got down to

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>ten early in the fourth. But you know, lately the

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Sixers have been building these big leads and then it

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>gets a little two Harry sort of down the stretch

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>and they close it out. Sometimes they lost to Atlanta

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>like that, but and that sense, I think it's it's

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 1>certainly one of the most impressive wins of the year.

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Seventy six Ers over the Pacers one twenty ninety six,

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's probably why I said that is,

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, you think of the caliber of the opponent,

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the fact that it was on the road, and just

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>certain things the Sixers did in this game. The offense

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>clicking for a second game in a row. But as

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Butler said after Tuesdays went over Minnesota, you know,

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the offense more often than not is going to figure

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>itself out. It's been defensively that this team has really

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>had its ups and downs, especially in the middle portion

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>of the season so far. And I don't know what

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>do you think it's been these last two games. It

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>just seems like they've been more together, more focused. Maybe

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 1>it took a stretch like that where you lose to

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.319
<v Speaker 1>Washington and Atlanta and nearly give one away against the

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>next to grab your attention. Yeah. No, you're right about

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the defense, and tonight, you know, whether it was a

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>Sixers defense, I think it was maybe a little bit unlucky.

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>They had so many shots rattle in and out. An

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 1>old depot was stone coal to begin the game. That's

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.319
<v Speaker 1>certainly helped that. He's shown really and Miles Turner a

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit led them early in the game. They were

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I think seven lead changes. Those all occurred in the

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>first quarter and a little bit of the second quarter.

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 1>But the fact that Oladipo was so cold, and he's

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>their leader, you know, he hit three threes in the

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>first half. They was our only baskets. But like I said,

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>he shot thirty percent on the night and Ben had him,

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 1>so that I think that certainly could be attributed. And

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>then to help defense, you got a beat back there,

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's a game changer. So I guess maybe if

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you're going to point to one thing as a team defensively,

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>having a beat back there in the paint is just

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.479
<v Speaker 1>so big because he just bottles everything up. He forces

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 1>teams to shoot quicker and further away and then not

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 1>in rhythm and whatnot. So that's a good point overall.

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 1>How the defense has kind of led away in this

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>resurgence over the last three games. Sixers top of the

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Pacers won twenty two ninety six. Jimmy Butler, Tim's so

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 1>big in this game getting things started. Boyan Bogdanovitch was

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>on him and he couldn't do anything gonna stop and

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>seemed like Jimmy just went right on the attack. He

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 1>really did. And again he's just got a way. You know,

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>he's not a guy who blows by the defenders. He

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 1>gets in there and the guy's usually right on his backside.

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 1>But he's so adept at, as I've said ever since

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>we've seen this guy playing now for the last three months,

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess, two months, right all through November, in the December,

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 1>now January. But he's so adept at just putting a

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.079
<v Speaker 1>guy in his back pocket and still scoring the ball.

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>And then just like the late steal that he had,

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:35.439
<v Speaker 1>Like he's got he's just a he's got great anticipation

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 1>skills and whatnot. He just stepped in front of he

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>knew all deep I was going to go back to

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the wing with it, and that he was getting back

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>in transition, just steps in for the for the pick,

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, I got that. Like he's he's so

0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 1>athletic and talented with a great basketball IQ. It makes

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.080
<v Speaker 1>out to be, you know, an All Star player alrighty time.

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>After this twenty four point victory, tonight a mid afternoon

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>matinee on Saturday, to the biggest personalities in the league

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and Joel Embiad and Russell Westbrook on center stage on

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.319
<v Speaker 1>a nationally televised ABC game that you can hear right

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 1>here on the Sixers Raider Network, and that it should

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 1>be a whole lot of fun. And I'm thinking about,

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Sixers flying into Weather. It's it's actually

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I know it's Saturday, but like it's a quick turnaround.

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.959
<v Speaker 1>And meanwhile, Oklahoma's playing right now and they all even

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>till tomorrow. But now that that should be really exciting.

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.079
<v Speaker 1>And you know, especially because you know they have Paul

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>George and Stephen Adams plays Joel better than any other

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 1>center in the NBA. I was just reading this article

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.199
<v Speaker 1>about how strong he is. In fact, Jimmy Butler was

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.080
<v Speaker 1>quoted in there having to run into Adams in a

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>previous game, so on, oh man, it was like a

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 1>brick wall. So and he's fast and he's, like I said,

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 1>he's strong, and so that that's a big thing there.

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>And then you know, like to me, the Sixers, Paul George,

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 1>there you go, there's Jimmy Butler's match up and hopefully

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 1>benk and guard Russell Westbrook. But they're very talented and

0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.839
<v Speaker 1>this is the time again you the Sixers have re

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 1>versed a lot of these trends against teams with the

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 1>losses that they've had consecutive defeats against certain franchises, but

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>not this one. So Saturday's a day. It's been eighteen

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.559
<v Speaker 1>straight defeats to the Thunder, and Saturday is a good

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to crack the code and get back into the

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 1>win column against the Thunder. Anytime, we will see you then,

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.000

<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers starting tonight. A lot of talk about this,

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of focus how the Sixers due twelve in

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.719
<v Speaker 1>a row against over five hundred teams heading towards the

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 1>All Star Game break. The Indiana Pacers the team a

0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>game in front of the seventy Sixers going into tonight,

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the first task on the road at Baker's Life Fieldhouse.

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.199
<v Speaker 1>Here is how portions of the game sounded, as called

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 1>by the one and only Tom McGinnis. Sixers and Pacers.

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>They went back and forth in the early going, but

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>a rookie put the seventy Sixers in the league for

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the first time. You're Simmons over the landry to catch

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the shot and the rough delivers of the three. Good

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 1>kickoff by Ben Simmons, and the Sixers now beginning to

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>heat up from beyond the Yark four made threes and

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.959
<v Speaker 1>for the first time in the game, the Sixers will

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>be It really was an uphill battle for the Sixers.

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>They went scoreless for the first three and a half

0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 1>minutes of the game. Starting over seven, things would end

0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 1>up vastly different. At the end of the first quarter

0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:01.839
<v Speaker 1>of seventy six Ers like twenty eight to twenty five.

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna fast forward to the end of the second

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.320
<v Speaker 1>quarter when the Sixers were trying to add some insurance

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 1>in JJ Reddick, who had been good throughout the first half,

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.320
<v Speaker 1>cap things off and now would be with it against

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Turner shot clocket five seven seconds to go and a half.

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>It's JJ Reddick for three and it's good count. It's

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 1>swish Reddick with it. Four seconds ago. Fifty four to

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 1>forty eight was what the score became after that JJ

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Reddick three pointer. That is what would be going into

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the break. Seventy sixers in a good spot. Oladipo hits

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>a three right out of the halftime break and you're

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 1>thinking foods. Maybe this guy could get started. He went

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>one for seven to the first half. The seventy sixers

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.640
<v Speaker 1>quickly quieted things down for the Pacers as JJ Reddick,

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 1>using his signature skill help widen the gap. Reddick is

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 1>on the wing. JJ cuts off with Joel's screen. Juel

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Pops gets outside of the yard three to shoot over

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>to Reddick. Reddick's open three foot in the air for

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers is good. J J Reddick put timely head

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 1>clutch tray time out Indiana they needed at seventy sixers

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 1>opening up a double figure lead for the first time

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 1>on the night at sixty six two fifty five for

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers. They would lead at eighty six seventy one

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 1>going into the fourth. Because of this, Sixers up thirteen

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 1>TJ drives that shoots it off the glass. Add in

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 1>TJ McConnell gives us Sixers a fifteen point lead and

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 1>that would grow to ninety one seventy three early on

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter. With Joe Ellenbiad moving things along,

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Reddick back down to Joe. Joe go by two minute

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.040
<v Speaker 1>slams it the Sixers wheeling around the arc, had Reddick

0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 1>feeds a Fad in a two hand slam and the

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 1>big bella hangs on the iron sways with a slab.

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>After the Sixers went up by eighteen points, the Pacers

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>would charge back. They scored ten in a row and

0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers we're looking to halt momentum. They did.

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Joe ellenbead a basket, Mike Muscalo with consecutive three pointers.

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>That was huge. Ben Simmons got in the act and

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 1>then appropriately one of the guys who was so huge

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 1>and getting tonight's games started on a good note. Jimmy

0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Butler was there to put the Pacers away. Father loses

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the mom momentarily gains a back, spins fire shot sixty

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>god a shot park buzzer. Jimmy Butler get it done

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and made it one O four eighty seven to seventy.

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Sixers would cruise to the eventual final score of one

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 1>hundred twenty to ninety six. We'll go through some of

0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the impressive notes from the final stat sheet. The Sixers

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 1>shoot fifty three percent from the field and also fifty

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 1>three percent from outside the arc. Eighteen of thirty four

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 1>against Indiana, which enter tonight the number one rated defense

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 1>in terms of points per game allow but if you

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 1>look at a moral level statistical metric of defensive rating,

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Pacers were number three. So either way you slice it,

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Indiana excellent defensively, but the Sixers carved him up. They

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>had thirty eight assists on forty six made field goals

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 1>after their forty assist game just forty eight hours ago

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:51.320
<v Speaker 1>against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Center. As for the Pacers,

0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers held them to forty percent from the field,

0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.360
<v Speaker 1>their second best in the league in field goals shooting

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and just nine of twenty nine from outside the arc.

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Good stuff from the seventy sixers. Defensively, six Ers scored

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.879
<v Speaker 1>fifty points the paint, great balance. Jimmy Butler led the

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>way with twenty seven points ten to seventeen from the field,

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.880
<v Speaker 1>one three point or five rebounds, eight assists, no turnovers

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and three steals. Awesome stuff from Jimmy Butler twenty two

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and thirteen to go with eight assists and three block

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 1>shots for Joel Embiid JJ Reddick with twenty points on

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.800
<v Speaker 1>six of nine shooting from outside the arc. Ben Simmons

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 1>with eleven eight and eighty to have six turnovers, but

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 1>he finished the game strong five of ten from the field.

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Thought Wilson Chandler was really helpful, especially in a first

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 1>half that was mostly competitive. He kept the Sixers in it.

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 1>He finished with ten points plus fourteen rating. Mike Muscala

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.000
<v Speaker 1>off the bench with eleven points and seven rebounds. He

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 1>was great. So is t J McConnell with seven points

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and five assists. All around good stuff for the seventy sixers,

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 1>which improved to thirty and sixteen on the year, and

0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 1>our resident seventy six Ers postgame show statistician Tyler Zoli

0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 1>confirming that the Sixers are the fourth team officially in

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the NBA right now to reach the thirty win mark,

0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 1>joining the likes of the Toronto Raptors, Milwaukee Bucks, and

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Golden State Warriors. Denver playing right now might get there

0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>by the end of tonight, but for this moment, it's

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the seventy six Ers, the fourth team to thirty wins,

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.399
<v Speaker 1>the fastest they've gotten to thirty wins since two thousand

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 1>and two thousand and one. Devon Gibbons is up next.

0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Should be a good edition of In the Pot. They're

0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.160
<v Speaker 1>all good editions, but I should say this one will

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.919
<v Speaker 1>have a more positive tone to a tonight. So in

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.440
<v Speaker 1>the Post with Divine Gibbons is coming up next. Big

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.640
<v Speaker 1>thanks to the guys back at the studio. That would

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 1>be Tyler Zuli and Brian McLaughlin. And now for the

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 1>radiovoice to seventy six Ers. Tom againis Brian Seltzer saying

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 1>so long for now one final time. The final score

0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.359
<v Speaker 1>seventy six Ers all over, the Pacers one twenty to

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.119
<v Speaker 1>ninety six in Indie. Have a great rest of Thursday night.
