Speaker 1: You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences,
Speaker 1: highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. All right,
Speaker 1: So the seventy sixers in their third preseason game, get
Speaker 1: another win. They are three and oh on the exhibition
Speaker 1: schedule with two games to go after another very solid
Speaker 1: win one twenty six and ninety four over the Orlando
Speaker 1: Magic at Amway Center. My name is Brian Seltzer. Good
Speaker 1: evening to you know. The Sunday did not start in
Speaker 1: the greatest of fashion in terms of what went down
Speaker 1: middle of the afternoon, but at least this could be taken,
Speaker 1: perhaps in the big picture, as another encouraging sign of
Speaker 1: what could come for the seventy sixers when the games
Speaker 1: start to count in about a week and a half.
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid was back. He finished with the team high
Speaker 1: fifteen points, got to the line a lot, was eight
Speaker 1: for nine from the free throw stripe three of six
Speaker 1: from the field. He tied Ben Simmons for a team
Speaker 1: high with nine rebounds and twenty one minutes of play.
Speaker 1: Fourteen points for Tobias Harris, who got started early for
Speaker 1: the twenty sixers, helped them jump out to a twenty
Speaker 1: six fourteen lead by the end of the first quarter.
Speaker 1: Haris with four rebounds as well thirteen points four Josh
Speaker 1: Richardson to go with five assists and five steals. He
Speaker 1: split his time both on and off the ball. Al
Speaker 1: Horford with eleven points and four rebounds. The bench played
Speaker 1: almost all the fourth quarter combined for seventy points in
Speaker 1: the game, like seeing Matisse Stible with ten points, Kyle
Speaker 1: O'Quinn the back of big Man with nine assists. Yeah.
Speaker 1: All in all, really solid night for the Sixers. Tom
Speaker 1: mentioned the turnovers. There were twenty five of them, so
Speaker 1: that was an issue for the Sixers. That led to
Speaker 1: thirty points for the Magic. But all in all, the
Speaker 1: Sixers defense, which the area they hoped to hang their
Speaker 1: hat on come the regular season, continues to look pretty solid.
Speaker 1: They held the Magic, albeit without three of their starters,
Speaker 1: to thirty nine percent from the field eight to thirty
Speaker 1: two from outside the arc. That equates to twenty five
Speaker 1: percent as the Sixers mastered the rebounding battle as well.
Speaker 1: They were plus twenty on the glass, so good stuff
Speaker 1: all around from the Sixers. They remain unbeaten in the
Speaker 1: preseason at three and m as we go back down
Speaker 1: to Orlando, Florida, bring on Tom McGinnis to help us
Speaker 1: break down briefly this third preseason game. Tom, All things
Speaker 1: continue to point relatively in a pretty good direction for
Speaker 1: the Sixers right now. Absolutely, and the most important thing
Speaker 1: is to get a victim, and maybe not the most
Speaker 1: important thing, I would think as important as anything is
Speaker 1: coming away healthy and a little cap tightness there for
Speaker 1: the Sixers, James Ennis. But all told, it looked like
Speaker 1: the Sixers come away unscathed. And then again nice parts
Speaker 1: of the game throughout, and as you say, the rebounding
Speaker 1: was big. I thought the three point shooting was good
Speaker 1: for the Sixers because you know that's a concern coming
Speaker 1: into the season. But to get thirteen and from a
Speaker 1: variety of guys that was good. And then you got
Speaker 1: so many talented players in such depth and they all
Speaker 1: stepped up at different points and made contributions that kept
Speaker 1: the magic at base. So not perfect, but certainly you know,
Speaker 1: continuing ahead in the right direction. Then to me, you got,
Speaker 1: like I said, the time to prepare, including two games
Speaker 1: up until that game is you know, like ten days
Speaker 1: away now, right, So today's the thirteenth and the game's
Speaker 1: the twenty third, and as Brett Brown was telling pregame,
Speaker 1: you know, you never feel like you have enough time.
Speaker 1: But this is almost like training camp part two with
Speaker 1: the two games sprinkled in there as well, which are good.
Speaker 1: You want to get into game situations against NBA competition,
Speaker 1: and they'll be able to do that with the Pistons
Speaker 1: and the Wizards, and to get ready and geared up
Speaker 1: for you know, not just a home opener, but that
Speaker 1: real game with Detroit which comes on the twenty six
Speaker 1: out there in Michigan, and to get ready for the
Speaker 1: regular season. Seventy six Ers remained perfect on the preseason
Speaker 1: with a one twenty six ninety four win dani Orlando
Speaker 1: at Amway Center, dwell Embiid with fifteen points, nine rebounds,
Speaker 1: three to six from the field, eight and nine from
Speaker 1: the stripe in just under twenty two minutes play. He
Speaker 1: said time this past week that he' used the preseason
Speaker 1: as a time to gradually get himself into a rhythm,
Speaker 1: into a mix. Have you seen that as far as
Speaker 1: the way that Joel is going about preparing for the
Speaker 1: upcoming season, well, I didn't think he got into any like,
Speaker 1: you know, consistent rhythm offensively tonight. You know, for him,
Speaker 1: I think he plays you know, he can't with his
Speaker 1: work this is my interpretation, but his workload, you know,
Speaker 1: with his body over the years, it can't be huge usage.
Speaker 1: So he you know, he gets into a lot into
Speaker 1: the basketball shape by playing both in practice and in
Speaker 1: these games. What he did do is he draws fouls.
Speaker 1: I mean, he got to the line. He got Bomba
Speaker 1: and Isaac to buy his upbakes, and he drew fouls
Speaker 1: and that gets him into some supplements of rhythm where
Speaker 1: you get that shooting touchdown. He's able to make free
Speaker 1: throws at a high rate. Tonight he was eight for nine,
Speaker 1: and then he contributes with nine rebounds in other ways,
Speaker 1: but he has not I don't think he's he's gotten
Speaker 1: to into a rhythm where he's you know, on the block,
Speaker 1: he's got this move and then a counter and here
Speaker 1: comes a double. I know by the way he's reading
Speaker 1: that perfectly. I think that's going to come with more
Speaker 1: more of the regular season, when he's in those situations
Speaker 1: time and time again and kind of play into really
Speaker 1: top physical form, not just conditioning wise, but you like
Speaker 1: at the peak of his powers with all of that
Speaker 1: skill level that he brings to the game. Last thing
Speaker 1: last year time, following the seventy six Ers one twenty
Speaker 1: six ninety four win over the Lando Magic on the
Speaker 1: road to cap off a perfect two and oh preseason
Speaker 1: trip is about Josh Richardson, who has been a lot
Speaker 1: of fun to watch the last two weeks and the
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers started their preseason camp into the preseason
Speaker 1: practices and tonight his role was a little bit different.
Speaker 1: He started the two guard, which has been the same
Speaker 1: from the first two preseason games, but he was given
Speaker 1: a lot of time off the ball to lock some
Speaker 1: backup minutes behind Ben Simmons, the Sixers primary ball handler.
Speaker 1: What'd you think, Well, he's the kind of player or
Speaker 1: like nothing stood out like, oh, you know, he ran
Speaker 1: the team like Oscar Robertson or whether that that was
Speaker 1: not There wasn't a huge distinction there. But he's the
Speaker 1: kind of player overall that's certainly capable of that. He
Speaker 1: had that those ball handling duties in a backup role,
Speaker 1: oftentimes for the heat in years pass and then that
Speaker 1: Brett Brown wanted to see how he did it. And frankly,
Speaker 1: when he gets in there, you see a lot of
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris alongside him, so they both kind of initiate
Speaker 1: the offense. But overall, like you know, it's interesting, like
Speaker 1: Brett Brown has always called has already calling him one
Speaker 1: of those glue guys that does so many things that
Speaker 1: in a positive way that keeps your team together, whether
Speaker 1: it's you know, getting loose ball rebounds, or guarding the
Speaker 1: opposing player's best perimeter player, or setting screens or making
Speaker 1: the pass that led to the pass that led to
Speaker 1: the basket. Like, he is real and he's really well
Speaker 1: thought of around the NBA. There's a lot of people
Speaker 1: talking about how good he's going to be for the
Speaker 1: Sixers and Brian, as you know, we've spoken about this,
Speaker 1: but for a young player to improve every year, not
Speaker 1: just statistically but his overall game, that's a huge sign
Speaker 1: and everything points to where he's going to continue to
Speaker 1: grow in that manner. So he's more than capable of
Speaker 1: handling the ball in a backup role for the Sixers.
Speaker 1: And frankly, you want your best players to play as
Speaker 1: much as they can, and I think he's a young
Speaker 1: player that can take on a high workload in terms
Speaker 1: of starting and playing as the two, and then as
Speaker 1: we've seen tonight and it's talked about it and probably
Speaker 1: going to be implemented, where he plays up backup one.
Speaker 1: He's going to be a key cog for the Sixers
Speaker 1: during this campaign. Richardson finishing with thirteen points, five assists,
Speaker 1: five steals, and four rebounds as the seventy Sixers down
Speaker 1: the Magic one twenty six ninety four. Tom mc ginnis,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. We'll speak again on Tuesday from
Speaker 1: the Center. You got it. Good night, Brian. Sixers are
Speaker 1: now three and ozer on the preseason for a season
Speaker 1: with there are lots of expectations and certainly a ton
Speaker 1: of promise. This, of course, you take with a grain
Speaker 1: of salt. It is the preseason, but it absolutely beats
Speaker 1: the alternative. The seventy sixers doing some good things as
Speaker 1: their exhibition slate continues. The latest evidence tonight in Orlando.
Speaker 1: The seventy six Ers one of ten teams in the
Speaker 1: NBA right now that to remain undefeated in preseason play.
Speaker 1: Let us review the box score tonight with some highlights.
Speaker 1: Joel Embi did not play. That was part of his
Speaker 1: load management plan in Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets
Speaker 1: at Wake Forrest, but he was back in action tonight
Speaker 1: and he finished with team highs in points and rebounds.
Speaker 1: Joel m debid with a step back shot good and
Speaker 1: he had difficult to get in a clean handle on
Speaker 1: the ball the entire time, but was able to fade
Speaker 1: away and hit a soft seventeen footer just to the
Speaker 1: right of the right elbow and a b was fouled
Speaker 1: at the end of the play on Amina fifteen points,
Speaker 1: nine rebounds, three to six from the field, eight of
Speaker 1: nine from the line for Joel emb the two time
Speaker 1: All Star play just under twenty two minutes the seventy sixers.
Speaker 1: Josh Richardson has been a real big bright spot in
Speaker 1: the preseason night Brett Brown was able to give him
Speaker 1: a little bit more run playing at the primary ball
Speaker 1: handling spot behind Ben Simmons when Simmons went to the
Speaker 1: bench and Richardson we know what he can do offensively,
Speaker 1: very versatile and defensively he's extremely active as well. And
Speaker 1: in this sequence for con Corkmas was the beneficiary. Cork
Speaker 1: mos with it, a runner at the dotted circle, rattles
Speaker 1: it and drops it for God, leaving off his left
Speaker 1: foot and here's a steal by Josh Richardson back to
Speaker 1: cork Boise for three, and it's gone five in a
Speaker 1: row for cork Mos, one of the five first half
Speaker 1: steals for Jay rich cork Mos played ten minutes and
Speaker 1: he did okay. He was plus fifteen, seven points, two rebounds,
Speaker 1: three or four from the field, and he hit that
Speaker 1: one three pointer that you just heard. I really liked
Speaker 1: the way to Bias. Harris got the seventy six ers
Speaker 1: off to a strong start in tonight's win. He was
Speaker 1: able to finish with fourteen points, five or twelve from
Speaker 1: the floor. Toy knockdown two three pointers as well. Harris
Speaker 1: with a pass out top the Richardson. Richardson with two
Speaker 1: dribbles with the left hand, rap Aroun back out the
Speaker 1: right river to Harris and that's good. So the ball
Speaker 1: goes back from whence it came and the basket is
Speaker 1: good bye Harris. He's got both field goals along with Embiide,
Speaker 1: Richardson and Harris. Al Horford was a starter who finished
Speaker 1: in double figures. He had eleven points, four rebounds. Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons did not finish in double digits. He had three points,
Speaker 1: nine boards, four assists and two steals. But off the bench,
Speaker 1: Matisse Stible continues to play well. The number twenty overall pick.
Speaker 1: He was part of a really solid reserve effort for
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers in the dub over the Orlando Magic.
Speaker 1: Kylo Quinn with it so all reserves out there for
Speaker 1: Brett Brown. Here's a duck fight Thiable. He breaks free
Speaker 1: o Quinn with a pass at Matie Stible with a
Speaker 1: one hand slam in the lead. Great play by the Sixers,
Speaker 1: one of the best of it. A game twenty point lead,
Speaker 1: ten points for Thible. The rookie played sixteen minutes kylo Quinn,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, nine assists in thirteen minutes of play.
Speaker 1: That's something that a lot of the guys in the team,
Speaker 1: including Brett Brown, have talked about. The passing of veteran
Speaker 1: big man kylo Quinn. Six shot fifty two and a
Speaker 1: half percent from the field, the Magic held to thirty
Speaker 1: nine percent. Sixers knocked down thirteen three pointers. The Magic
Speaker 1: were just eight of thirty two from outside the arc.
Speaker 1: The Sixers were plus twenty on the glass. They did
Speaker 1: commit in the game twenty four turnovers. That was an issue.
Speaker 1: It led to thirty points for the Magic, but the
Speaker 1: Sixers they will led wire to wire in tonight's game,
Speaker 1: and they were up by as much as thirty two points.
Speaker 1: The bench combined for seventy points in the one twenty
Speaker 1: six ninety four victory over the Magic. Sixers. Now three
Speaker 1: oh on the preseason. They will host the Detroit Pistons
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, before wrapping up the preseason schedule on Friday
Speaker 1: versus the Washington Wizards. It is a seven o'clock game
Speaker 1: on Tuesday from the Center. We will hit the air
Speaker 1: at six to fifty with our pregame show, Brian Seltzer
Speaker 1: saying so long for now one final time. The final
Speaker 1: score seventy six Ers one twenty six the Orlando Magic
Speaker 1: ninety four. You've been listening to rewind, look out for
Speaker 1: fresh episodes the day after every seventy Sixers game this
Speaker 1: season
