WEBVTT - Rewind | Scrimmage Play Starts With Win 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.640 This podcast is part of the seventy Sixers podcast network 0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:07.960 search seventy Sixers podcast wherever you get your pots you're 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:11.639 listening to rewind, I'll listen back on press conferences, highlights 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:16.400 and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. First, and 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:21.200 most importantly live NBA seventy Sixers basketball was back, and 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:23.800 in their scrimmage opener, the first of three down Orlando, 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.720 the Sixers got a victory at the ESPN Wide World 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:30.160 of Sports Complex ninety to eighty three over the Memphis Grizzlies. 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.200 I'm Brian Selzer. Let's join right now via zoom. Head 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.080 coach of the Sixers, Brett Brown. You got a team 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:39.200 of nine and assists in only one term, and so 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.440 you know you start seeing how does that look? Um, 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.040 you know in a you know, i'll be a preseason 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.239 sort of scrimmage game. Howard Zell look, you know, how 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.879 to shake look at one, how to all and Joe 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:56.960 looked together playing those types of things. I thought with Geeson, carryo, 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.760 thank you all right. Next we're going to go to Keith. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.319 It was up Bright you said, dcent carry over. But 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.600 the thing that really stuck out to me that there 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.520 was no hesitation in his shot. And I know, you know, 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.319 you don't want to make a big deal out of that, 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.360 but to me, it looked good. It was no hesitation. 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:21.160 They left him open. He did what he's supposed to do. Yeah, 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.440 and you know what, Keith, And I'm pulling my mask 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:29.160 down to say this me and sort of the big deal. 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.920 I stand by that, but I'm with you. I get 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.039 excited and as I said this yesterday or two days, 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:39.039 but whatever it was, it's the paradigm shift, it's the spirit. 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:43.360 He doesn't flinch. So the sport told him, I'm hoping 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.560 nobody's guarding me, shoot it, and he did. And I 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.600 agree with you. There wasn't any hesitation on what's next? 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:55.760 What decision do I have to make now? And when 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.240 you look at how he played the point forward a 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.120 huge me power forward. Was that like what you were 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.360 expecting from day one? Like, Okay, he's gonna be were 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.400 taking him off the ball, but he's still gonna be 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:12.640 a primary ball carrier so to speak. It is and 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:17.200 I can almost simplify it like this, on any miss shot, 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.720 I want then with the ball. Anytime THEA position team 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.280 misses and we're running, I want Ben Simmons with the 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.320 ball and letting him get to the rim and dunk 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.560 or finding other shooters. It's really that clean and that 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.000 simple on made baskets. When it's a little bit slower 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.000 and say Joel takes it out, I want them taking 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.639 off and letting him, you know, maybe get something cheap 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.240 over the top, or circleing back and playing at that 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.920 elbow area where it's hard to sag. And you know, 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.560 he's one dribble at the rim. And that's the world 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.280 that I envisage when we make that change from you, 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.560 you know, dribble it up the floor as the primary 0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:01.079 ball carrier, always against five waiting defensive players in a 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.120 make world, in an Abyss world, him off the ball 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.760 is how I see it, just as I said it. 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.519 Thank you, you wants Cathy next, We're gonna go to 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:17.160 tam Boon tips right, Just in general with that overall 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.400 group at the beginning of the game, I was curious 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.280 what your thoughts were in a few minutes that you 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.840 saw and is that kind of the way that Alan 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.720 Jowell were together. Is that kind of what we can 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.200 expect to see still kind of in that you know, 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.079 end of the quarter beginning in the quarter periods going forward, 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:36.680 I think it's got its best chance him to probably 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.520 be seen in the periods that you just said. I still, 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.680 you know, like I think that those two guys in 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.960 the places that we had, I still am a fan of. 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.240 I still believe in it. You know, I think there 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.240 are some games this year I get talking about the 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.800 Clipper game, probably at times too much, but receive that 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.400 high load that interaction earned that time we been talking 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.840 about seems to be for me the best flow to 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:09.000 find those two. And I thought to your first part 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.119 of the question of you know, how did everybody kind 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:16.040 of look playing? I just felt like they all looked 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.840 you know, everybody kind of did something quite well. If 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.760 you looked at our assistant turnovers. I think there were 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:27.000 some positive things there. But the Joel Al thing, I 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:32.480 think that period of the game is fair to talk about. 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.240 Seventy Sixers head coach Brett Brown from Orlando after the 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.680 Sixers knock off the Memphis Grizzlies by the score of 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.000 ninety to eighty three in their first scrimmage showing of three, 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.760 They've got another one on Sunday afternoon against Oklahoma City 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.239 thunder then play the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday before starting 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.880 seating play. As for takeaways from this one, I don't 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.320 know about anyone else out there. My view coming into 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.839 this one today was like, Okay, it's a scrimmage game. 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.960 First opportunity for the Sixers to take on someone other 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.280 themselves after holding practices for the better part of the 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.640 last three weeks to a month, and just see how 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.600 they handled things. Would they look functional, would they look organized? 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.040 How is their spirit? Did they seem physically fit? Did 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.880 they take their first competitive setting seriously? And I think 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:20.000 based upon the way the first half went, especially from 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.760 what we saw in a great finish the first quarter 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.320 and strong showing the second quarter, I think you can 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.479 absolutely say the answer to some of those questions is yes, 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.560 the Sixers took it seriously. They seemed focused. At the 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.880 outset of the game. They opened things up to a 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.680 twenty nine point lead. And I tweeted this at halftime 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.280 or the middle stage of this scrimmage, it was like 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.160 the Sixers. The Grizzlies looked like they hadn't played in 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:45.920 four months. The Sixers looked at worse, like they hadn't 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.200 played in about four days. And that was with a 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.320 lot of personnel changes that the Sixers were experimenting with 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.960 throughout this scrimmage. Today, those personnel changes, I think you'd 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.480 say have merit based upon one scrimmage shake. Milton certainly 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:02.520 held his own. Ben Sims played extremely well. He finished 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.640 with nine points, nine assists, three steals in twenty two 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.320 minutes of action. Tobias Harris a double double with fifteen 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.719 points and ten rebounds. Joel only played thirteen minutes on 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.280 the first half. He put up ten points, six rebounds, 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.799 and he knocked down two of his fourth three pointers. 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.360 So the Sixers, they had various times looked that they 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.640 were playing loose, playing free. The ball moved at times, 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.039 we saw some spacing. I thought it was all good stuff. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.160 And like Brett Brown was talking about, the defense, especially 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.520 in the first half, was certainly something that helped the Sixers. 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.760 They held the Grizzlies to just ten field goals made 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.320 and shooting twenty eight and a half percent from the field. 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:42.200 They forced fourteen turnovers and outscored the Grizzlies nineteen to six, 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.080 punishing Memphis on those turnovers. So a lot of good 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.960 for the seventy Sixers in their first foray into competitive basketball. 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.479 Action since the season was suspended back on March eleventh, 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.680 with the ninety eighty three win over the Memphis Grizzlies. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.000 Good stuff from Tobias Harris, good stuff from Ben Simmons 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.200 and Joel Embiid. Ben Simmons knocking down that catch and 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.160 shoot corner three in the third quarter, one of two 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:10.080 three point attempts he took, perhaps upstage, some may say, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.680 by big man Norvelle Pell who, on a broken play 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.160 scooted back into the corner and knocked down a three 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.840 pointer of his own. Two of the highlights from today's scrimmage. 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.240 Tom McGinnis called it all, Tom, How did it go 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.400 for you today? What was this like? It went? Okay? 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:29.880 It's a little unusual to not like hear the game. 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.480 I heard the sound effects, but there is a little 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.120 bit of a studio aspect of it, do you know 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.080 what I mean? Where you're not Let's put it this way. 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.160 Prior to the game, as I was getting ready and 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:42.840 going over the notes and whenever, and I was watching 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.800 the Sixers warm up, you know, you're like, oh so 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.560 far away, and then when you put the headset on, 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.720 you heard like Ben dribble the ball and the guys 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.240 that made it like, oh, now you're sort of in there. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.480 So it was totally fine, though, Like this is absolutely 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.760 as best as one could imagine for these circumstances where 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:05.080 you're not calling the game there and then calling a 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.120 game where there's no fans and just because there's no 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.679 feeling like being here in this arena with this group 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.440 of fans of Philadelphia fans, and I'd like to use 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.080 the phrase rising as one because that's what happens as 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.560 they meet the moment with the passion and the energy 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.800 that a telltale phase of a game. There's nothing like. 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.720 That's why we come to live events. That's what makes 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:30.160 it so neat. So that obviously for now is not 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.280 the case, but it's certainly you know, I think this 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.560 is gonna work, but I think we're gonna be okay, Brian, 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.360 awesome sounded great as the six Ers beat the Memphis 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.120 Grizzlies ninety to eighty three times. Do you think they 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.160 came out with some purpose? Obviously in the early going 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.280 they were still trying to sort some things out, but 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.280 there were times in that first half when the team 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.840 looked really together all things considered. Yeah, I think their 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.360 defense kind of set the stage as they were shaky 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.559 a little bit early on from the field, a couple 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.320 turnovers and to lead to be expected. Actually you kind 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.160 of wanted to see that a little bit, just because 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.360 you don't want them to be clicking on all cylinders. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.640 In a scrimmage game, every guy had a misstep here 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.880 or there, but defensively they collectively, like there were many 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.319 times where Ben cut off Jaren Jackson and then Jackson 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.880 to turn and Tobias would be there or Al Horford 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.080 would be there, and so that's you know, when the 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.720 Sixers say they're built for the playoffs, and you know, 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.800 coach answers, well, what does that mean? How is that? 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.280 So part of it is the length, the height, and 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.800 at the athleticism of the defense, and then different guys 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.319 got going on offense. And then when you look at 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:44.240 the score sheet and everybody but Howell scored, I thought 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:48.520 everybody had some really nice moments in there. Tobias was steady, 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.719 Joel was certainly good. Early on, Ben had gotten not 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.440 a dominant game just because it was a shortened stint, 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:59.680 but rebounding and athletically and shake, you know, shake it okays, 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.200 not like standout or anything, but I thought Furkon looked good, 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.280 Mattis had his moments, So all in all, certainly, I 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.560 think good for the Sixers to feel, you know, like 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.840 there's definitely room for improvement and the competition is going 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.480 to step up a little bit with the thunder. But 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.360 then you know, then again, you got the game Tuesday 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.280 against Dallas and then a day or two to get 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:26.040 ready for Indiana. So all said and done, pretty good 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.199 work all all told. Today. Understandably, Tom, one of the 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.880 main storylines coming into today's scrimmage was shake Milton being 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.160 on the ball, Ben Simmons playing more at the four, 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.800 and one thing that Ben talked about over the last 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.319 couple of weeks was, regardless of where you put him, 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.920 whether it's an offense or on defense, he believes that 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.360 he's a playmaker and that he's got a high enough 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.040 IQ to make things happen. You look at his final 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.120 line and that certainly bears things out. I mean, he 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:55.280 had nine assists, still playing in a new, reconfigured, rethought role, 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.240 and if you listen to today's game or you watch it, 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.280 you could see that he was still certainly able to 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.920 make things happen in the offensive end, regardless of if 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.839 he was the one bringing the ball up or playing 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.480 out of the high post or anything like that. Without doubt. 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.720 I mean, he's a very physically gifted player who's gonna 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.160 attack and be aggressive at all times. And you know, 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.280 as coach said, there's so many instances in which it's 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:21.959 a free flowing dynamic, you know, transition where whomever's got 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:23.240 the ball and you want it to be in his 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.679 hands that Simmons is going to be able to get 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.199 after it. No, there's other situations where Shake Milton is 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.360 going to play the point guard and bring it up, 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.000 but no, Ben is definitely going to look to attack 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.479 and get to the rim. And you know, he finishes 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.280 with the best of me. He had a couple of 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.080 areas that one ball got stuck between the basket and 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.360 the iron, But he's gonna be just fine. I think 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.840 he's gonna be dominant, you know, like he I think 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.559 this break helped a lot of different players across the NBA, 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.400 but maybe none more so than Ben Simmons of the Sixers. 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.400 At least for me personally, I find myself getting so 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.319 caught up into the whole thought process of what is 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.760 this going to mean? Now that he's playing here versus there, 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.200 that I forget that had the season not been suspended, 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.200 he might not have been back out there at all. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.199 And that's certainly not to say that everything that's gone 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.960 on the last four months was worth that cost that 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:16.640 it was for Ben Simmons to be back, but that's 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.720 you know, I just keep losing track of the fact 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.520 that he probably there's a good chance he might not 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.439 have played again, at least in the regular season and 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.080 the season not stopped, because the game's just come fast 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.760 and furious, and you know, I'll never forget how much 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.360 painting was in in Milwaukee. You know, he basically just 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:34.520 played five minutes and ten games after that All Star 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.880 break or in that time frame, and you know, and hey, 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.960 I've had that, you know, not an elite athlete did, 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.000 but that nerve and pingement thing, that is just a stopper. 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.840 It's incredible. And so yeah, when he went down in Milwaukee, 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.200 that was really really tough, and to watch him be 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.160 on that plane and whatever as we did coming back 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.680 late night from Wisconsin after that game. But the Bucks 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.679 really difficult. And and that's what I mean, like certain 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.880 there were certain a lotments during the hiatus about who 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.719 could get treatment and who could be at a facility 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.920 and whatever, and so he was clearly getting physical therapy. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.040 But then you know, part of that obviously is you know, 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.480 getting back in the throws and getting back in shape 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.480 and whatnot. And you know, I would think at some 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.319 point he started to get his feetback underneath them and 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.200 he started to shoot the ball a little bit. And 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.240 then you know, we also those pictures and those videos 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.040 of his workouts, and you know, he's also he's a 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.920 young man. He just had another birthday, but you know, 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:36.160 just growing and getting stronger and developing, and it's all 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.960 coming together for one of the preeminent athletic talents and 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.800 players in our league. And Ben Simmons great stuff this afternoon. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.360 Tom McGinnis talked to you just before high noon on 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.920 Sunday when the seventy Sixers take on the Oklahoma City 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.480 Thunder All right, thanks Brian, seventy six ers basketball in 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.920 a scrimmage back on the radio. Amazing, Hey, it was 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:56.720 gonna be a good day if that was the only 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.079 thing that came from it. The Sixers also got to 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.319 win when they played Memphis Grizzlies, and the first of 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:05.280 three scrimmages down in Orlando. The big subplot coming into 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.679 this scrimmage schedule, Shake Milton primary on ball handler for 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.280 the seventy sixers, Ben Simmons going to the four. Shake 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.240 Milton getting involved early and good defense there. So the 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.920 Sixers turn it over, but so do Memphis, and now 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.440 the sixers of the ball out to shake right side 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:24.560 three ball got the seventh sixers from the fowl area 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.280 to shake Milton and with exactly six minutes ago, that 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.960 ties the score at eight. Seventy Sixers would start to 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.520 take off from there. Joel M. Bead leaving his early 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:38.000 imprint on this one. Memphis misses sixers of the ball 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.400 in beat for three and that's good. So these seventy 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:46.480 sixers two three one by shake Milton, they go from 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.440 down eight to two to leading by five, now thirteen 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.040 to eight and be picked and popped his way throughout 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.920 that first half. As the seventy sixers wide in their lead. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.560 In the second quarter, Tobias Harris was involved. They've got 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.480 the four guys beyond the arc and a tip of 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.880 a steal by five. All good job by Burkes in 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.000 there as well. No look pass it the bias Harris 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.280 gets a slam well done by Simmons, a no look jam. 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.480 Seventy Sixers really able to get out on the run 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.240 in the closing moments of the opening half. They lad 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.560 fifty four twenty eight at the break. Their lead would 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.240 grow to as large as twenty nine because of this. 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:25.960 Here Simmons for three and it's good, Ben seventh triple 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.360 knocking it down right front of his bench, and the 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.880 Sixers lead the Grizzlies fifty seven to twenty eight. Ben 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:37.880 Simmons from group five points now for Simmons, Perhaps even 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.040 more important than the basket going in, as Brett Brown 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.360 said in his postgame press conference, the fact that there 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.280 was no hesitation on the attempt of the shot by 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.880 Ben Simmons in the corner that gave the Sixers a 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.960 twenty nine point lead. Memphis would close the gap from there. 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.600 They used a good third quarter they outscored the Sixers 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.760 by sixteen, and they also put the pressure on in 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.720 the fourth to tighten things up. But one more noteworthy 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.320 three pointer to play for you from this one before 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.840 wrapping it up, Dive into a cutting Scott close behind 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.840 his back, missus pell Norvelle into the corner for three, 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:11.600 and then why Norville Pell With a shot clock winding 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:15.080 down to the beat on the Sixers sideline leading the cheers, 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.120 Norvelle had to shoot it and he net to three 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.640 from the corner the tenth of the game for the Sixers. 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:25.120 You pick your favorite flavor. Ben Simmons three, Norville Pell three. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.600 Tough call, but all good in the Sixers win over 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:32.120 the Memphis Grizzlies ninety to eighty three. Sixer shot forty 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.280 three percent from the field, ten to thirty from outside 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.120 the arc. They got to the line twelve times and 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.800 made ten of their free throw attempts. They outrebounded the 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:43.480 grizz by three, and they forced nineteen turnovers thro the Sixers, 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:45.760 all in the first half, a big reason why they 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.920 were able to establish such a commanding advantage. In today's scrimmage, 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.880 Tobias Harris led the Sixers with fifteen points and ten rebounds. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.480 He also had two assists in just under twenty three minutes. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.360 Ben Simmons also played twenty three minutes at the four, 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:03.760 pretty much almost exclusively. Nine points from him, nine, nine assists, 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:07.680 and seven rebounds plus three steals. Such a versatile line 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.280 from Ben Simmons great to see him back out there. 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:14.120 Dwell Embiid in just thirteen minutes, ten points, six rebounds. 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.600 He hit two of his three baskets from outside the arc. 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.520 Richardson and Milton finished with six points a piece and 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.560 sharing the team lead in terms of scoring off the bench. 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.760 Alec burks so I thought played pretty well today seven points, 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.400 three rebounds, to assists for him and for Concorkmas who 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:33.280 had seven points, including one three pointer. All right, that'll 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.720 do it. Seventy six Ers over the Grizzlies ninety two 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.440 eighty three, will talk on Sunday. You've been listening to Rewind, 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.159 look out for fresh episodes the day after every seventy 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:43.439 six Ers game this season.
