WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 2/10/2019 ~ Rewind vs. Lakers 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.000 This is seventy Sixers rewind time now to listen back 0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:09.000 to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. Two 0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.399 games in the revamp squad is looking all right. One 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:16.640 forty three one twenty seventy Sixers trance the Los Angeles 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:21.320 Lakers in a terrific matinee performance for a second straight 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.680 win and a good bounce back for the Sixers these 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.319 last two games since the trading deadline to get back 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:30.120 on track and provide a whole lot of promise heading 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.280 into the home stretch of the season. Brian Selta with 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.640 you from Sixers dot com. We are standing by four 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.000 the postgame press conference of the winning head coach, and 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.280 that would be Brett Brown. Brett these last two games 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.479 after his general manager Elton Brand punches into all the 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:48.040 right numbers at the trade deadline, Brett's gotta say dialing 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.320 up a lot of the right digits for the seventy Sixers. 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.639 The starting group has played well together, the subbing has 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.120 been really effective, and what you're left with at the 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.720 end of the day is a balanced, well rounded box 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.600 sheet for the seventy six Ers. Joel Embiid was tremendous 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.160 thirty seven points fourteen rebounds plus twenty three. Really, the 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:09.120 plus twenty three says it all. Tobias Harris got the 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.040 Sixers started strong, twenty two points in the game for him, 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.280 nine of fourteen from the field, three or five from 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.480 outside the arc, twenty one for JJ Reddick, fifteen for 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.040 Jimmy Butler. Butler very smooth, thought he had the game 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.000 come to him, thirteen off the bench for t J. McConnell, 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.000 a perfect six or six from the field, and ten 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.880 for Boban Marianovitch. Sixers went one, forty three, one twenty. 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:34.280 Let us join in progress right now, Brett Brown, look 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:38.640 at what Tobias especially did. He's just he's unselfish, he's 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:43.480 a fishing he's a wonderful teammate. But to you a point, 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.480 you could have had a few possible bell ringers were 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.920 obvious with the Labox, who are thirty three as eight turnovers? Like, yeah, 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.520 there's a lot of good stuff there, I lay, and 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.560 that's this is a good question. Yes and yes through 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.200 the thirty three assist and I think a season eight 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:05.400 turnovers in a game that was really, you know, kind 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:10.400 of sloppy, seeing a game that was kind of sloppy 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.839 and they play with such a fast pace, and so 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.480 to come in with eight turnovers in that Sunday afternoon environment, 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.920 like the first period was a video game. It wasn't, 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.680 you know, how we want to play defense. But the 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.760 thirty three assists and only eight turnovers in that flavor 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.320 of a game, I like. I like the fact that 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.919 they only had two fast break points in the second half. 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.639 I thought we did a better job of getting back 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:43.240 and dealing with them in transition defense. And after that, 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.080 you know, it's a good win at home during a 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.760 tough stretch that we've been on, and we'll take it 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.600 and get ready for Boston. Was the reaction on the 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.720 bench when Ben just swapped up the court and stepped 0:02:55.760 --> 0:03:01.640 into a three, which the obviously yeah, um a little 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:06.280 bit like everybody's like, okay. We've talked about this a lot, 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.560 and I actually thought this shot looked good. I thought 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.120 the rhythm into it looked good. It was close to 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.480 going in. He didn't look uncomfortable shooting it. And you know, 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.600 he can tell you the story if he chooses to. 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:23.720 He and I spoke about this notion for a little 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.239 bit in the past twenty four hours. You know what's 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.400 going to happen in the third third of the season. 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.280 You know, how do we better help you prepare for 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:37.400 the playoffs? What's coming. We all saw to an extreme 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:44.240 Lebron not guard him, and we all have memories of 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.960 the Celtic Series. So somewhere in the middle, we have 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.400 a window of twenty seven or whatever amount of games left, 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.200 and I'd like to try some of this stuff prior 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.880 to the All Star break and take off with it 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:02.200 in the final third. And uh, it's a long explanation 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.600 to your question, but the underbelly of the reason is significant. 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.160 Ask him about it. He may share a deeper conversation. 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.400 That's something that you think for you know what you 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.240 want the fire part. You guys have to really allow 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.599 him to maxim accessibility in playoff type settings like that. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.760 Is that not necessarily ass you three so that he 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.840 has to be a threat from more than say, ten feet, 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:28.240 don't I hope so it would help him when when 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:33.280 that happens um in relation to like a legitimate threat, 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:38.279 I don't know. I believe it will happen sooner than others. Might. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.400 I see him shoot after practice, I see him play 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.359 one on one at the elbow after practice, and I 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.520 got confidence. You know, he'll tell you deepest stories that 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.920 I'm able to right now. But I got confidence threat 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:55.159 for large charms after that. Starting out Jimmy and Joel 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.240 there together you had did I mean you guys at Google, No, 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.400 what did you what did you make from kind of 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.640 going to your ritation Beyond this? I still think that 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.719 what we're trying to do when you start platooning and 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.480 you start like pairing, and you look out and you 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.520 got to your point. You got Joe Ellen, Jimmy against 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:22.640 their bench. Yeah, and so when you start, when you start, 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.120 you know, shuffling the deck and trying to figure out 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.920 how we're going to sub our team, we oftentimes are 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.200 in that situation. And and and I think that the 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:37.120 growth of the pairings is still evolving. We're still learning, 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.880 you know, who's who, who's paid with who the best? 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.000 And you know, the introduction of tobias is a really 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.479 good problem to continue to figure that out. But today 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.960 I liked how we we we brought our guys in. 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:55.760 Guess what does that do for your offense, not only 0:05:55.760 --> 0:06:00.240 in transition, but maybe getting some cross mention. Yeah, it 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.760 does wonders. We spoke about it in the pregame press. 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.240 This is the best dribble out team that we have 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:12.120 that I have coached. You got Ben, you got Tobias. 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.719 You know, you've got Jimmy Butler. You obviously got your 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.560 traditional guards, TJ and someone even Joe probably took one 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.640 dribble too many tonight, but you know, like one dribble 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.760 and then kick ahead or kick across. And I think 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.919 that that the dribble out guys, along with high outlet, 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:33.360 you know, mentality, that is the greatest launching pad to 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.920 running that I know. And I think that that the 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.159 drags and other things that happen at the end of 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.200 it can produce cross matches. But I like where you 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:46.200 started first, in that early sort of push. That force 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.960 of early offense I think can be you know, led 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:54.720 by Ben, can be dangerous. Insightful commentary post game from 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.560 seventy six ers head coach Brett Brown it always is, 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.239 but a very revealing disclosure out the conversation that Brett 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.239 said he had with Ben Simmons within the last twenty 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.159 four hours about the basic just being how do we, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.159 being the coaching staff and the rest of the team 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.120 try to help you, you being Ben Simmons, be better 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.600 prepared come the postseason, and that was in direct reference 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.960 to the volume of jump shots we saw Ben Simmons take, 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:22.000 especially that third quarter three point attempt that he stepped into. Certainly, 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:23.800 if you've been watching the last season and a half, 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.760 that is the truest three point attempt that Ben Simmons 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.680 has taken in his young career. And the whole notion 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.600 being how do you get ready for the time of 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.480 the season that counts and you know, all of a 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.120 sudden you go into it's interesting. You know, you think 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.720 about a game like this, you get ready to listen 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.920 to a postgame press conference and you think, maybe the 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.880 lead headline could be Joel em Beat's dominance, the balance 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.480 the starting group, the evolution of subgroups since the trade deadline. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.400 But you better believe as far as interesting nuggets. Dispensed 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.160 about Brett Brown saying that it seems like a mission 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.800 for the Sixers gonna trying to be to help Ben 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.200 Simmons get ready for the play layoffs in the final 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.680 third of the season. We'll talk about that other things 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.680 that went well for the seventy sixers that would be 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.080 a lot in today's game one forty three, one twenty 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.640 six Ers beat the Lakers at the Center postgame, showing 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.720 the Sixers Beater Network.

Let's see if we get a little bit 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.120 of Ben Simmons right now from the podium, how do 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.520 you play? It's about Winny being more aggressive. It is 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.679 any of that as a way to combat the way 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.320 to say, the Celtics guarded you last year. Just like 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.000 looking forward by off, you're trying to find more ways 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.720 to be factory to that level. Definitely, um you know, 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.840 with this new new five, I think it's just going 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.040 to be exciting and tells what we can do us 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:16.720 a bunch of different fridays that we can run into. 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.400 When you mentioned like you were talking about how they 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.520 were cretic just coming off screens and like people have 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.600 to come out help, I mean, in some ways the 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.760 new lineup you have maybe more conducing to preventing teams 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.360 from doing something to stuff that last year, because you 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:29.920 guys have so many weapons that if they do try 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:35.000 to say sack off, the one gathers definitely, but you know, 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:36.679 stay that far back and then me handing it off 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.520 to JJ's I mean, he wants that shot, so you know, 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.400 I'm gonna give it him every time if somebody's gonna 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.079 play like that. Seventy six Ers reigning Rookie of the 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.400 Year Ben Simmons eight points, seven assists, three rebounds in 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.120 today's game three or thirteen from the field in the 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.920 Sixers one forty three, one twenty victory over Lakers. But 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.000 we so rarely ever see a shooting line like that 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.679 from Ben Simmons. A reason why today is because of 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.400 the jump shots that he took, including a three point 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.240 We're bringing Tom McGinnis right now, we're going to talk 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.760 about that in a moment, but first time two games in, 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.920 I mean, I certainly would be a way to be good. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:10.439 A stretch to say, hey, these guys look like they've 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.720 been playing together forever, but right now it's it's clicking 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.959 the starting group in the way Brett's staggering the subs. Absolutely, 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.440 one hundred and forty three points speaks to that in 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.520 a big way. And they had a great finish against 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.200 Denver with one hundred and seventeen points. So without question, 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.520 and obviously the big thing coming in is now you've 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.480 got guys that can score the ball. Coach Brown in 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.240 the earlier remarks called the dribble out guys, and by 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.240 that he means guys that can come out of the 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:38.920 backcourt with the basketball, that can initiate the transition game 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.079 and that quickly that leads to points. When you guys 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.480 got the Harris and Butler and JJ and Ben and 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.160 as he said in bed, tried it a couple of times, 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.800 TJ off the bench can do it. Very impressive. The 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.360 first quarter was just a track meet. He called it 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.120 the video game. Coach Brown forty to twenty nine Kuzma 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.800 was incredible, but Harris kept the Sixers close with fourteen, 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.760 and then Joel really picked it up and Bead was 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:08.400 dominant against a combination of McGee and Tyson Chandler. But 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.040 then the defense that was a telling staff by Brett Brown. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.679 Only two fast break points for the Lakers in the 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.840 second half, and they want to get out and run. 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.400 Lebron was really good in this game. One number one assists, 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:23.080 Shy a triple double. Kuzma was brilliant, Brandon Ingram had 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.240 nineteen great maybe the best game of the year for 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.320 Javelle McGee for them, But the Sixers were just so 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.000 much better. I mean, in the end they win by 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:34.719 twenty three points, and just a terrific second quarter and 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.760 a great second half for the Sixers to pull away 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.240 and win this one handily. Sixers one forty three, one 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.760 twenty over the Lakers. Joel and Bead telling ESPN and 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.920 his walkoff postgame on court interview, I've been here for 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.920 a long time. This is my city. The man is 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.640 playing like he wants to deliver something big and for 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:56.400 the Delaware Valley, well, to me, you know, he's just again. 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.920 The strength of his game was like at the face 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.880 up jump shot. He was able to turn use the 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:06.040 dribble to create separation from either Chandler or McGee, and 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.920 then he got around McGee with ease at times and 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.000 got right on the lip of the rim. Some of 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.600 those dunks in the first quarter very impressive. And then 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.160 he just owns the defensive glass. That's how he racks 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.280 up all these double doubles forty plus on the year 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.239 in that regard double figure statistics and points and rebounds, 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.839 and he's become so steady. So again he got a 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.480 little loose with the dribble, turned it over. But how 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.480 about in general for the Sixers only eight turnovers, which 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.400 that's been a major problem during losses over the course 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.560 of the last two three years, and that is the 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.679 old points off turnovers. But it didn't affect him here 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.439 in this game. Sixers beat the Lakers one forty three, 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.920 one twenty. What would you make about that comment from 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.120 Brett Brown about the conversation he had with Ben Simmons 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.079 about trying to help him get ready for the time 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.000 of the year that really cants. We're talking late April, 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.560 May and June. Well, it was evident because like you said, 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.560 you're not accustomed to seeing Ben Simmons miss eight, nine, 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.080 ten shots whatever, and ended up being And it was 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.480 almost like now that we know the backstory where coach says, hey, 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.920 let's start to work on this, and hey, and you've 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.160 seen it, Brian. Ben Simmons has been working on his 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.880 jump shot ever since he became a sixer, and you 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.440 see it a lot more obviously in practice, in his 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:19.160 work after practice. His coach noted, but it was almost 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.640 like he was going at Lebron even early on not 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.280 the jumpers, but the attacks on the goal where he 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:28.360 didn't have success and missed around the basket a little bit, 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.600 and then you know, and he missed a big runout dunk. 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.160 But hey, it's not a bad thing. Everybody's been waiting 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.240 for this, and now Ben Simmons is doing it. And 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.520 he says, as he said, it's going to be a 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.680 work in progress, so there aren't going to be some 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:43.839 growing pain. He is going to miss some shots, but 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.280 the big thing is that he's taking them and taking 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.480 them with confidence because eventually he's going to start making 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:53.000 that and helping to round out his offensive game with 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.240 that perimeter shot. Whether it's a plethora of threes, or 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.560 just some good looks from the mid range. But in 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.440 the end, that's going to make the team better because 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.600 it's clear as he his coach Brown said that Lebron 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.440 was playing off him. It's been done in the past 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.480 as a strategy. You dare him to shoot, and when 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.000 you back that far off him, it's it's difficult to 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:15.160 find driving lanes. What's interesting, even though that has been 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.600 a defensive posture by by opposing teams, he still gets 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.080 to the basket even though they are trying to play 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.000 off him and clog up the middle. Sixers. After this 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.040 one twenty win over Los Angeles, they've got the Boston 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.880 Celtics coming up on Tuesday, eight o'clock game, final home 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.760 game before the All Star Game break. You look at 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.680 the standings, you see the Celtics teams that's just a 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.960 game behind the Sixers, and they're actually seven and three 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.160 in the last ten. But if you follow on Twitter 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.560 or anywhere else covering the NBA, it is like literally 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.360 the roof is caving in on the Celtics right now, 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:48.000 and that will be, of course, a very interesting matchup 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.880 for the Sixers. Right But if you're a Sixer and 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.200 you think you know Bostons. They've lost two in a row. 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.760 They lost two big leads though that that's true in 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.200 terms of an eighteen point lead. They had a aginst 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.160 the Lakers and they lost on the last second shot. 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.480 Old Landry Shammut shot him down yesterday for the Clippers 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.960 against Boston. But I think everybody close to the Sixers 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.320 knows that Boston is going to be there in the end. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.280 Now what's a little scary as Kyrie, you know, tweaked 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.080 his knee a little bit, so whether he plays and 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.160 you know what that situation is for Tuesday, Hopefully he 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.360 gets better because you know, the Sixers they've got to 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.640 beat Boston. That's all there's to it. And now you 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.720 feel like you're you've reloaded with these huge moves by 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.840 Elton Brandon, how well the team has played in its 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.200 first two games, and you know then they have to 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.240 go to New York and close it out in terms 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:39.040 of this stretch, and New York has really struggled at 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.560 home and overall in general. But you know, we talked 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.880 at length about this gauntlet of a schedule for the 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.680 Sixers beginning two three weeks ago, even prior to the 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.640 West Coast trip and boy, the Sixers have fared pretty 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:55.480 well now, sixteen games over five hundred, and it's really 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.440 shaping up to be what it's going to be an 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:01.240 exciting final third, if you will. That's sprint to the 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.360 finish following the All Star break. But as you say, 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.280 Boston here on Tuesday, and you know, a great crowd 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.480 here today and a great crowd anticipated for that game 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.440 as well. Sixers, Celtics, Sixers Lakers. I mean, they're all 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:18.480 great matchups, but obviously the intra division matchup with Boston 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.200 is paramount going forward because more than likely you're gonna 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.200 have to at some point go through Boston. And here's 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.400 a regular season matchup, another testing ground for the Sixers. 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.440 Tom aguinnis we're gonna hear his calls coming up next. Tom, 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.320 talk to you on Tuesday. Thank you, Bryan. Good.

Today's game 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.560 is called by the one and only Tom mcguinnis. It 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.919 was a back and forth, offensive oriented first quarter, as 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.320 Brett Brown described it, like a video game. A guy 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.200 racking up some points, Tobias Harris, Butler, Kip going along 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.120 the baseline up top to Harris. Three ball for the Sixers, 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.439 and that's good. They run two guys at Tobias Harris, 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:45.520 but not in time. JJ Reddick from Butler and Harris 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.040 knocks out of three Harris with fourteen points on six 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.200 of seven shooting in his first six shots of the 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.119 day in the first quarter. After one, the seventy Sixers 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.960 trailed by a point forty to thirty nine. The defense 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.240 started to buckle down a bit in quarter at number 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.320 two and the Sixers they were very fortunate that they 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.520 had a Stuth Tennis seven footer on their side. JJ 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:07.600 Reddick back to t J in the l nine dribbles 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:09.240 passes at the last second it would beat at a 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:13.399 layout nicely done, good assist by TJ. McConnell and beating 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.919 out with fourteen points rolls gathers that scores it. He 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.200 seemed to get better as the game went along, helping 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:23.000 these seventy sixers stay in front, and towards the end 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.119 of the first half, the Sixers opened things up sixers 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.040 of the ball, leading by nine their largest leave Reddick 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.920 for three shut up and good JJ Roddick over cousball 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.920 and Roddick is hot and double figures down for sixty 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.960 one consecutive games, seventy four sixty three to Sixers lead. 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.240 They had a seventeen to two run to help repel 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:44.080 him to a very comple margin of seventy six sixty 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.840 seven going into the break. In the third quarter, good 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.560 start for James and the Lakers made things a little 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.720 bit tight. Sixers were trying to answer and fur con 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.320 courtmise offered left and the Sixers lead again is cut 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.680 the four court bass coming back at Dad's good fur 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.879 con Clark Boss for the Sixers and that makes it 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:07.119 ninety nine ninety two. And that was after the Lakers, 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.280 of course made it a four point game. But the 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.239 end of the third quarter set the tone for had 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.399 this game would wrap up. T J McConnell with one 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.000 of the top moments of the day, passes into the 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.320 corner to Scott not a TJ. McConnell for three. That's good. 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.120 Hundred a second to go of the third at TJ 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:26.399 McConnell drops into three. One. Nine ninety four was the 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.200 score after three, part of a twenty to four seventy 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.960 Sixers run that vaulted them into control of the game 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.399 and things were put away by JJ Reddick. If there 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:36.800 were any doubt left late in the flour they double 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.439 team Joel Reddick with it. Reddick download a Ben and 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.960 Simmons gets the right hand lay. What a dish by 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.040 JJ Reddick with a right hand and Simmons now with 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.040 a Reddick with the assist. Twenty point game and that 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.879 fight just do it, Yeah, Reddick playing setup man to 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.080 Ben Simmons. One of the easier baskets of the day 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.920 for Ben thrown it in and the Sixers roll over 0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:01.119 the Lakers, knocking off LA convincingly one forty three to 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.000 one twenty. As we take a look at the final 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.040 stat sheet, seventy six Ers shot over fifty seven and 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:08.840 a half percent from the field, of Lakers fifty one 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.800 and a half percent six Ers a dozen three pointers, 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.960 and even fifty percent outside the arc Lakers with ten triples. 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.560 Sixers only missed three of their twenty two free throws. 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:20.280 They were minus one on the glass. Thirty three assists 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:23.400 for the seventy Sixers against just eight turnovers, a very 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.960 encouraging development for the home team. They scored seventy did 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.399 the Sixers of their one hundred forty three, nearly half 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:32.119 of their points in the paint, twenty two points on 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.159 the break. Joel and B led the way thirty seven points, 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.679 fourteen rebounds, twelve of sixteen from the field, two of 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:41.680 three from three. He also had three assists in the game. 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.679 Great effort by him. Twenty one points for JJ Reddick 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.960 behind three three pointers, twenty two for Tobias Harrison nine 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.320 of fourteen overall. We mentioned fourteen points in the first 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:53.639 quarter He also had three three pointers, six rebounds and 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.840
