<v Speaker 1>and analysis from the seventy sixers. Previous game. Seventy Sixers

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>lose a critical Game two of their opening round series

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Boston Celtics by the score of one twenty

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>eight to one oh one. I'm Brian Seltzer. Boston now

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>with a two games to an advantage in the series

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and they look like they are complete control. Hey, Joel

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Embiid had a great game tonight, certainly did his part,

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>but a really disappointing defeat for the seventy Sixers, not

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 1>only based on how things ended up. I mean, you

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>look at that score of twenty seven point margin. That's

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>wide enough to begin with, but to consider the fact

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers at one point the game, we're up

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:50.880
<v Speaker 1>by fourteen points. It's pretty amazing. A forty two point

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>swing from start to finish. In this one, Sixers jumped

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 1>out to a thirty three twenty seven lead. They were

0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>on fire in that first quarter, shot nearly six one percent.

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Joel had fifteen of the seventy six Ers thirty three points.

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>In the first everything seemed good. Shake Milton Josh Richardson

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>got off to great starts in the game as well,

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>and then in the second quarter things seemed to change,

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>and the Sixers when their shot wasn't falling, you know,

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the defense led up. Boston connected on sixty two percent

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>of its shots in the second quarter, and the Celtics

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>rebounding picked up, and at that point it just totally

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>turned the game around. With Kemba Walker leading the way.

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, you think about Boston and one of the

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>things we talked about coming into this game was Gordon

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Hayward and the injury and how would that affect the series.

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Someone on Boston needed to step up well. In the

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>guts of this game, when Boston really needed to seize control,

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Kimba Walker was really big. He finished with twenty two points,

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>only three more points than his nineteen point total in

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Game one. But I think that if you watch both games,

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>listen to both games, you could tell Kimba Walker was

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>really really important to Boston when they needed in the moment.

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Jason Tatum continues to be an unstoppable force

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Sixers start umatistible in this game with Boston going even

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>smaller smart in the lineup for Hayward. But tonight, you

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>know from the early going Tatum it's like he didn't

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>snap out of that groove for Monday, and he just

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>kept on going. He was plus twenty nine in less

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>than thirty one minutes of action. Finished with thirty three points,

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>twelve for twenty from the field, eight of twelve from

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>outside the arc. The seventy Sixers shot five for twenty

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>one as a team from the perimeter. So now the

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Sixers are in this own two hole and listen. I

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>think that you could look at a lot of different things.

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>You can look at roster, you can look at talent,

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>but I think between the first two games it's this

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>factor of edge. Tom and I talked about it after

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.679
<v Speaker 1>last game that he talked about it tonight a bit too.

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>It's just like this edge thing that Boston seems to have,

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.239
<v Speaker 1>where you know, their bench tonight they got so much

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>out of their bench, did the Celtics, and there was

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>just great hustle from that group. I mean, this is

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>going to sound a little bit silly, probably, but I

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>thought Ennis Canner came in and in the second quarter

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>with his rebounding and what he did to give Boston

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>extra opportunities, he helped change the complexity of the game.

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, he had got guys like Brad Wanamaker and

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Grant Williams, Romeo Langford at times doing some things that

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>like it just helped. And this Boston Celtics bench, while

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.519
<v Speaker 1>playing with Jason Tatum, extended the lead. Had not only

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>got Boston back in the game of the second quarter,

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>it extended the lead. And it's just that edge factor

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that Boston seems to have an advantage with. The Sixers

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>were down by eight sixty five fifty seven after the

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>second quarter. You get to the third quarter and the

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Sixers committed some early turnovers that led to some runouts

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>for Boston. The three sixty dunk by Jalen Brown made

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>it a fifteen point game, seventy four fifty nine timeout Sixers.

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>And I don't want to be over dramatic here, and

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe Tom can come on this one, and I bring

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 1>him up after Brett. But it's like you're thinking the

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>season's on the line, like right here, right now, you're

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>down by fifteen points middle of the third quarter. What

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna do, and Boston just kept the foot

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>on the pedal of the gas. They widen their lead

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>to twenty three points after the third ninety eight seventy five,

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and in the fourth quarter it was pretty much all

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>four Malley's at that point. And mean, you see Canner

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>get the put back to start the fourth quarter, and

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 1>that kind of summed up the way that things have

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>gone through the first two games of this series. Boston,

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>with just a little bit more pay dirt on the hustle,

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>plays those loose ball opportunities the fifty fifty plays and

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, Boston took Jason Tatum out with about seven

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 1>minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Joel and Bead

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>left midway through the fourth and that was that as

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Boston wins this one one twenty eight to one on

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>one and Bead finishes with thirty four points, ten rebounds,

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>eleven of twenty one from the field, twelve of thirteen

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>from the free throw line, eighteen for Josh Richardson thought

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 1>he played a pretty sharp game. He was six of

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>twelve from the field, two for three from three point territory,

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>fourteen for Shake Milton, two from a tea styble, and

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 1>just thirteen for Tobias Harris four or fifteen from the field.

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>He struggled on the offensive end. We have Brett Brown

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>on zoom right now. I think that you have to

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>hum be smart about it. Like the obvious answer is to,

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, bring seven foot two out of the paint

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:32.159
<v Speaker 1>and bring seven foot two up so that they there

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>is some level of Prussia. The punishment behind it is real,

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, rollers and scrambles and so on. I think

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>that if you if you look at how many baskets

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>they scored out of the pick and roll as far

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>as threes go, I think Tatum had three and I

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>think Kemba had one, and they are dangerous in a

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>mid range game. This is true, and I feel like

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.919
<v Speaker 1>in the second half mark we did do that with

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>some success, but it wasn't enough. Thank you, Keith Pompey

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 1>bred did you like the effort tonight? It seems like

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>after the first quarter it just went down. Then I

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>think it got deflating when the shot makers went bananas

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:32.919
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna scoll their effort.

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that you got to shake their hands to

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>the Celtics on some of the shots. You know, they

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.280
<v Speaker 1>were half quot bang shots, can't to hit one, and

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 1>they really ended up making a lot of shots. There

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 1>were a few possessions I think in the second half

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 1>that you'd want to have back that. I think the

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 1>effort wasn't at a level um that it needed to

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 1>be during the sort of meat part of the game,

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the crunch time part of the game, I thought the

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>guys were doing the best that they could. Katum is

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 1>a handful of kembag, got a going. Jalen I thought

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 1>had a great game and they made shots and we

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>had a hard time dealing with that. Seventy Sixers fall

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to the Boston Celtics in Game two one twenty eight

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to one on one. Boston, of course, now with the

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>two games and the un lead in the first round

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>best of seven series. Alec Burks had a different role tonight.

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>He finished one for eight from the field, two points.

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>How Old Nato was the first guard the Sixers brought

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>in off the bench. He finished with five points, two

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>to five from the field, four points. For Al Horford,

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>he was a reserve in this game as well. He

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>finished with two rebounds in twenty three minutes of play.

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Tom McGinnis had the call this one from the center

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>time for the second straight game. The seventy Sixers, led

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>by Joel Ebad got off to a really good start

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and unraveled after that. And at this point Boston certainly

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>in control of this series, oh without doubt. And Tatum

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>got really hot. The only thing I would say is

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's small, but like again, as I stated early

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>in the game, he got two quick vowels and he

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>stayed in the game, which I understand. And yet the

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Sixers went two or three possessions without once and I

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>believe Tait him at the time was guarding Jason Josh Richardson,

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 1>but going right at him and at least see if

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't get a third foul on him to maybe

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>he gets out and gets him out disrupted, and now

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>he's got to sit for the end of the first quarter.

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>That didn't happen. And then he just starts catching fire

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and again he like it's one thing you can see

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>his practice and how it pays a huff, like you know,

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.719
<v Speaker 1>those are shots that he's making. Like I said, there

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:36.959
<v Speaker 1>was a time where I don't know if it was

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Thieble or whatever, but it was in the third over

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>by their bench and he's back in the clock's winding down.

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>He knows exactly what it's gonna do. He's gonna do

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>a turnaround fade away from the corner and that's and

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.440
<v Speaker 1>he's creating the airspace with the fade, and you know,

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>he nails the shot. That's like when you're a scorer,

0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 1>think like we're how Kobe Bryant used to pick his

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 1>spots and know his spots on the court and exactly

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>where he was going. And same thing with Tatum with

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the step backs off the three. You know, he's creating

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>the separation with a big crossover and then the step

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 1>back dribble and that's like six or so feet and oh,

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>by the way, he's six eight and he's got the

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>airspace to knock down those three. So very impressive with

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the eight. I thought Kemba was really, you know, getting

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.439
<v Speaker 1>back to like the dominant player we've seen where he

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>was good in the first game, but tonight he was

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>at times unstoppable. He gets so low and he gets

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 1>a shoulder and he gets a step on the defender

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and he's gone. He's get to the glass. And then

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the other thing with Boston is they run their screen

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>so far out top that when a player like Tatum

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.680
<v Speaker 1>or like Walker or Brown, they come off that action

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and then they're still behind the arc, so their first

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 1>thought is three, and oftentime there's enough they get enough

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>of a screen to shoot the three. So you know,

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the bottom line is the six is played really well

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.439
<v Speaker 1>early on and then in the whole football parlance and

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 1>getting smacked in the mouth, they got hit by a

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 1>huge wave and didn't respond and did not respond and

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 1>that was it. I mean, it was an eight point

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.839
<v Speaker 1>game at halftime, it's still a game. But then to

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>come back and yield thirty two points in the third

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.079
<v Speaker 1>and now it's a deep hole. Not only is it

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 1>a deep hole, but you incurred a very frustrating and

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 1>tough loss where Boston is now swimming with confidence and

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>going into Game three and you gotta, you know, you

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.079
<v Speaker 1>gotta win Friday. You gotta do something to extend this

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>series and see if you can't swing a little momentum,

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>a little confidence back to the side of the Philadelphia

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>seventy sixers, No question about at Joel Embiid with thirty

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.679
<v Speaker 1>four points ten rebounds in the seventy six Ers one

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight one on one loss, and I think Tom Shake, Milton,

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Josh Richardson playing really well, well enough for the Sixers

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to win. And we talked about the importance of this

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>series for Tobias Harrison. He hasn't been able to get

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>it quite going so far in the offensive end. And listen,

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>in a series like this, when you're down an all

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>star like Ben Simmons, you need everyone to be at

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>their best, especially when you consider the talent on the

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 1>other end, and right now, Tobias has had a tough

0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>time finding it, no doubt about it. And then you know,

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>so he didn't shoot an overall great percentage from the field,

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>but where you're sitting, you know they're making threes and

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I think he went over two tonight and from three

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.199
<v Speaker 1>and ended up with thirteen points. But you know, it's

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the ability to hit the long shot too, and no doubt,

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.080
<v Speaker 1>no doubt about it. You know your count you were

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 1>counting on him, particularly with the absence of Simmons. And

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.719
<v Speaker 1>then you know, because of the starting the shift in

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>the lineup for Boston. You put Thibal in there, great

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>because he's a good defender, but you definitely lose some offense.

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.839
<v Speaker 1>And then Horford came off and didn't do anything very

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>much off the bench. So they're fours you consider even

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 1>if you want to put Thible in there. So let's

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>say Harris Horford and Thible for the Sixers and Brown

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and Tatumer are just crushing that matchup right there. And

0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>that's been the difference in the series so far. Seventy

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Sixers beaten by Boston one twenty eight one oh one. Tom,

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 1>What is next when this series shifts to quote unquote

0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 1>home territory? Right? Yeah. I heard an interesting thing last

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>night by Chris Weber when in that Laker Portland game,

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and he was talking about and you know, I really

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>never really occurred to me, but it's true. But like

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 1>when a run occurs, the Lakers are making a huge run,

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know, like if that was in a building like,

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 1>for example, in this case, the Staples Center, that would

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>be so much harder to withstand because obviously the crowd,

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the things in the bubble. It's still

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the same old bubble. It's still quiet out there, you

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, other than the team that's having

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the big run. So that that's one of them. We've

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 1>talked about so many of these elements that are different,

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 1>including to your point, how this would be in Philadelphia,

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know, but that's a huge thing obviously, you know.

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm sitting here looking at empty seats in

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 1>this building as we speak, and so but that's the facts,

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 1>and everybody's the bubble has been tremendous. It's been great basketball.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 1>So that's not an excuse. You know, you gotta everybody

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 1>knew this coming in. They've been down there for five

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.240
<v Speaker 1>six weeks right now, and you know, this is gut

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>check time. This is something for the Sixers. Like I said,

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you got to hang your hat on something, some pride,

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the Sixers have made such an emphasis

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 1>of playing in the spirit and the toughness of philadelph

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Philly hard as the coaches and the players say. And

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.640
<v Speaker 1>here it comes. Okay, You've got a Boston team playing

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of confidence, and they have one of

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 1>their players is playing as well as any player in

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 1>the NBA right now, and Tatum, you got to stop him.

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>You got to show some pride and some fight and

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.559
<v Speaker 1>some grit and get it done and find a way

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 1>to get on the board and see if you can't

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>swing this thing. Over the course of the weekend and

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 1>even the series. But first things first, you gotta come

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 1>out and play Friday, and when they make the run

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 1>withstand it and come back and fight to give yourselves

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:53.680
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity in the game. Down the stretch, well put

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:58.479
<v Speaker 1>pretty usual by Tom McGinnis. Tom and will speak on Friday.

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, Brian, thank you, and good night. Seventy Sixers

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>in a critical Game two against the Boston Celtics, entering

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.679
<v Speaker 1>tonight looking to level things at one game and piece,

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.199
<v Speaker 1>and early on, I mean really early on, very quickly,

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.840
<v Speaker 1>it was auspicious. It was looking pretty good behind the

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.439
<v Speaker 1>big fellow Joel Embiid Tobias Harris with a ball, Harris

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 1>out top the Richardson fireside. Now Milton, they go to

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and beat Joel Dribbles goes in on Tice, puts it

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 1>up good and a foul. Then he lowered the shoulder

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.480
<v Speaker 1>very aggressive and bead was locked in fifteen points in

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the first quarter. Tobias Harris gave the seventy Sixers their

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 1>biggest lead of the night early on ball tap, but

0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>it's picked up by Richardson Milton with Harris, Horford Netto

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>and Josh. Here's Tobias all the way to the rack. Anyways,

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>it up and good ose you they know the line

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 1>of defense there and the Sixers lead twenty five to eleven. Yeah,

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 1>they started the game ten for twelve. At that point

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>they were on a twelve to two run. They led

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 1>thirty three to twenty seven after a quarter of play

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and quarter number two. Boston, however, they answered again. They

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 1>started getting bounds. Kemba Walker began to pick up his

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>play and all of a sudden the seventy sixers found

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>themselves in a hole after Boston went in a thirteen

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to one run. Joe Ellenbad had a historic for him

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 1>at first half. The Sixers hab it eight to shoot

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>forty in the first half. Here's a beat into La

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Naine scoop lamp ribby good slice Street three Celtics off

0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 1>a nice pass by Richardson and beat great mobility in

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 1>a right hand layup that made it sixty three to

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>fifty five. Boston with lead sixty five fifty seven by

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.720
<v Speaker 1>a similar eight point margin going into the break and

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>the second quarter of the Sixers shot just thirty eight

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>percent from the field, while Boston outrebounded the Sixers by five.

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Kema had thirteen points and the Celtics shot sixty two

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 1>percent in the second quarter. In the third, the Sixers,

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 1>they were faced pretty much with a crossroads type moment

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.000
<v Speaker 1>after this play by the Boston Celtics. Kick got Richardson,

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>which trailing it bead and Walker nikes it away turnover

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>on the Sixers. Tatum the Brown two hand red first

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:05.720
<v Speaker 1>slab timeout Sixers, Shalen Brown whirls and jams a fifteen

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>point game. Fifteen points doesn't sound like a lot. It

0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 1>felt like a lot after that play. The Sixers were

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 1>down twenty three after the third. They would trail by

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>in this game as much as twenty eight points on

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the way to a one twenty eight one O one defeat.

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Sixers ended up shooting forty one percent, Boston fifty one percent.

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Sixers just five for twenty one from outside the arc

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>two threes apiece from Josh Richardson and Shake Milton, who

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought played really well. Who will Nato with the

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 1>other three pointer? Boston nineteen to forty three from outside

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the arc community She's nineteen three pointers is a ton,

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 1>but they still shot forty four percent. That was lad

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 1>in part mostly by Jason Tatum, who was eight for

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 1>twelve from outside the arc. Boston plus four on the

0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 1>glass plus three on the offensive boards outscored the seventy

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.840
<v Speaker 1>six Ers fifteen to four on second chance points. Sixers

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.640
<v Speaker 1>did a better job with turn overs, only nine in

0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>this game, half their total from Monday, but Boston still

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 1>ripped the Sixers apart on the break outscoring them seventeen

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 1>to one. Joel and Beats thirty four points led all scores.

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:15.119
<v Speaker 1>He also had ten rebounds, eighteen points for Josh richardson

0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 1>six of twelve from the field, Shake Milton with fourteen

0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>five of eight from the floor to Bias Has with

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.359
<v Speaker 1>thirteen on just four to fifteen shooting. He also had

0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 1>eleven rebounds and two assists two points for a matise

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Thibel in the game, who did not, in my opinion,

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.200
<v Speaker 1>have quite the effect as he did in Game one.

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.199
<v Speaker 1>He did get the start in place of Al Horford.

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Horford with four points off the bench, five for hu

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 1>will Nato just two for Alec Burks, was one for

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 1>eight from the field, three points four fur con Quark Miles,

0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.399
<v Speaker 1>all from the line, and Mike Scott would finish with

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 1>six points in some fourth quarter action, thirty three for

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Tatum twelve of twenty eight to twelve from three five rebounds,

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 1>five assists twenty two points for Kemba Walker eight of

0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:02.679
<v Speaker 1>sixteen overall, he had one porton, three pointer, four rebounds

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.439
<v Speaker 1>and two assists twenty points for jeal And Baarn to

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.040
<v Speaker 1>go along with five rebounds ten points for Ennis Cantner.

0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Off the bench, he also had nine boards. I thought

0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 1>he was really big for Boston tonight in a reserve role.

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 1>One final time. The final score Boston won twenty eight

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.480
<v Speaker 1>seventy six ers one oh one the Celtics with a

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>two nothing lead in this first round series. You've been

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.120
<v Speaker 1>listening to Rewind. Look out for fresh episodes the day

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.359
<v Speaker 1>after every seventy six ers game this season.
