WEBVTT - Rewind vs. Orlando Magic - 10/13/19 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.560 You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences, 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:09.319 highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. All right, 0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:12.879 So the seventy sixers in their third preseason game, get 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:17.040 another win. They are three and oh on the exhibition 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.280 schedule with two games to go after another very solid 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.720 win one twenty six and ninety four over the Orlando 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.560 Magic at Amway Center. My name is Brian Seltzer. Good 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.960 evening to you know. The Sunday did not start in 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.000 the greatest of fashion in terms of what went down 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.040 middle of the afternoon, but at least this could be taken, 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.440 perhaps in the big picture, as another encouraging sign of 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.240 what could come for the seventy sixers when the games 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.239 start to count in about a week and a half. 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.520 Joel Embiid was back. He finished with the team high 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.720 fifteen points, got to the line a lot, was eight 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.040 for nine from the free throw stripe three of six 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.160 from the field. He tied Ben Simmons for a team 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.360 high with nine rebounds and twenty one minutes of play. 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.680 Fourteen points for Tobias Harris, who got started early for 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.000 the twenty sixers, helped them jump out to a twenty 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.160 six fourteen lead by the end of the first quarter. 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:09.320 Haris with four rebounds as well thirteen points four Josh 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.720 Richardson to go with five assists and five steals. He 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.240 split his time both on and off the ball. Al 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.440 Horford with eleven points and four rebounds. The bench played 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.760 almost all the fourth quarter combined for seventy points in 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.160 the game, like seeing Matisse Stible with ten points, Kyle 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:30.039 O'Quinn the back of big Man with nine assists. Yeah. 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.920 All in all, really solid night for the Sixers. Tom 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.320 mentioned the turnovers. There were twenty five of them, so 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.280 that was an issue for the Sixers. That led to 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.440 thirty points for the Magic. But all in all, the 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.160 Sixers defense, which the area they hoped to hang their 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.480 hat on come the regular season, continues to look pretty solid. 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.160 They held the Magic, albeit without three of their starters, 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.560 to thirty nine percent from the field eight to thirty 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.840 two from outside the arc. That equates to twenty five 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.200 percent as the Sixers mastered the rebounding battle as well. 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.280 They were plus twenty on the glass, so good stuff 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.640 all around from the Sixers. They remain unbeaten in the 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.280 preseason at three and m as we go back down 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.040 to Orlando, Florida, bring on Tom McGinnis to help us 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:11.560 break down briefly this third preseason game. Tom, All things 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.000 continue to point relatively in a pretty good direction for 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.680 the Sixers right now. Absolutely, and the most important thing 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.959 is to get a victim, and maybe not the most 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.840 important thing, I would think as important as anything is 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.680 coming away healthy and a little cap tightness there for 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:31.720 the Sixers, James Ennis. But all told, it looked like 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:36.400 the Sixers come away unscathed. And then again nice parts 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.160 of the game throughout, and as you say, the rebounding 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.200 was big. I thought the three point shooting was good 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.640 for the Sixers because you know that's a concern coming 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.720 into the season. But to get thirteen and from a 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.919 variety of guys that was good. And then you got 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.520 so many talented players in such depth and they all 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.400 stepped up at different points and made contributions that kept 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.800 the magic at base. So not perfect, but certainly you know, 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.480 continuing ahead in the right direction. Then to me, you got, 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.160 like I said, the time to prepare, including two games 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.040 up until that game is you know, like ten days 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.200 away now, right, So today's the thirteenth and the game's 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:18.919 the twenty third, and as Brett Brown was telling pregame, 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.919 you know, you never feel like you have enough time. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.640 But this is almost like training camp part two with 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.400 the two games sprinkled in there as well, which are good. 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.240 You want to get into game situations against NBA competition, 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.400 and they'll be able to do that with the Pistons 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.600 and the Wizards, and to get ready and geared up 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.080 for you know, not just a home opener, but that 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.800 real game with Detroit which comes on the twenty six 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.120 out there in Michigan, and to get ready for the 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.960 regular season. Seventy six Ers remained perfect on the preseason 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.640 with a one twenty six ninety four win dani Orlando 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.960 at Amway Center, dwell Embiid with fifteen points, nine rebounds, 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.080 three to six from the field, eight and nine from 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.840 the stripe in just under twenty two minutes play. He 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.280 said time this past week that he' used the preseason 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.800 as a time to gradually get himself into a rhythm, 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.160 into a mix. Have you seen that as far as 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.280 the way that Joel is going about preparing for the 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.880 upcoming season, well, I didn't think he got into any like, 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:19.280 you know, consistent rhythm offensively tonight. You know, for him, 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.400 I think he plays you know, he can't with his 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.880 work this is my interpretation, but his workload, you know, 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:30.479 with his body over the years, it can't be huge usage. 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.000 So he you know, he gets into a lot into 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.120 the basketball shape by playing both in practice and in 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.200 these games. What he did do is he draws fouls. 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.039 I mean, he got to the line. He got Bomba 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.360 and Isaac to buy his upbakes, and he drew fouls 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.680 and that gets him into some supplements of rhythm where 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.080 you get that shooting touchdown. He's able to make free 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.560 throws at a high rate. Tonight he was eight for nine, 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.000 and then he contributes with nine rebounds in other ways, 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.760 but he has not I don't think he's he's gotten 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:04.560 to into a rhythm where he's you know, on the block, 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.640 he's got this move and then a counter and here 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.480 comes a double. I know by the way he's reading 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.200 that perfectly. I think that's going to come with more 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.600 more of the regular season, when he's in those situations 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:19.320 time and time again and kind of play into really 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.640 top physical form, not just conditioning wise, but you like 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.960 at the peak of his powers with all of that 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.160 skill level that he brings to the game. Last thing 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.520 last year time, following the seventy six Ers one twenty 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.120 six ninety four win over the Lando Magic on the 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.560 road to cap off a perfect two and oh preseason 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.400 trip is about Josh Richardson, who has been a lot 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.120 of fun to watch the last two weeks and the 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.880 seventy six Ers started their preseason camp into the preseason 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.560 practices and tonight his role was a little bit different. 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.360 He started the two guard, which has been the same 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.840 from the first two preseason games, but he was given 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.800 a lot of time off the ball to lock some 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.160 backup minutes behind Ben Simmons, the Sixers primary ball handler. 0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:00.160 What'd you think, Well, he's the kind of player or 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.400 like nothing stood out like, oh, you know, he ran 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.120 the team like Oscar Robertson or whether that that was 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.560 not There wasn't a huge distinction there. But he's the 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.400 kind of player overall that's certainly capable of that. He 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.560 had that those ball handling duties in a backup role, 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.600 oftentimes for the heat in years pass and then that 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.720 Brett Brown wanted to see how he did it. And frankly, 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.919 when he gets in there, you see a lot of 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.760 Tobias Harris alongside him, so they both kind of initiate 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.440 the offense. But overall, like you know, it's interesting, like 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.840 Brett Brown has always called has already calling him one 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.240 of those glue guys that does so many things that 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.320 in a positive way that keeps your team together, whether 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.240 it's you know, getting loose ball rebounds, or guarding the 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:45.680 opposing player's best perimeter player, or setting screens or making 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.400 the pass that led to the pass that led to 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.640 the basket. Like, he is real and he's really well 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.200 thought of around the NBA. There's a lot of people 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.960 talking about how good he's going to be for the 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.400 Sixers and Brian, as you know, we've spoken about this, 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.360 but for a young player to improve every year, not 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:06.279 just statistically but his overall game, that's a huge sign 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.760 and everything points to where he's going to continue to 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.520 grow in that manner. So he's more than capable of 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.480 handling the ball in a backup role for the Sixers. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.400 And frankly, you want your best players to play as 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.680 much as they can, and I think he's a young 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.160 player that can take on a high workload in terms 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.320 of starting and playing as the two, and then as 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.800 we've seen tonight and it's talked about it and probably 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.840 going to be implemented, where he plays up backup one. 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.360 He's going to be a key cog for the Sixers 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.800 during this campaign. Richardson finishing with thirteen points, five assists, 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:41.320 five steals, and four rebounds as the seventy Sixers down 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.559 the Magic one twenty six ninety four. Tom mc ginnis, 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.400 thank you very much. We'll speak again on Tuesday from 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.680 the Center. You got it. Good night, Brian. Sixers are 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.200 now three and ozer on the preseason for a season 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.240 with there are lots of expectations and certainly a ton 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.800 of promise. This, of course, you take with a grain 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.680 of salt. It is the preseason, but it absolutely beats 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.280 the alternative. The seventy sixers doing some good things as 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:07.720 their exhibition slate continues. The latest evidence tonight in Orlando. 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.440 The seventy six Ers one of ten teams in the 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.320 NBA right now that to remain undefeated in preseason play. 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.480 Let us review the box score tonight with some highlights. 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.600 Joel Embi did not play. That was part of his 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.240 load management plan in Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.680 at Wake Forrest, but he was back in action tonight 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.680 and he finished with team highs in points and rebounds. 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.680 Joel m debid with a step back shot good and 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.960 he had difficult to get in a clean handle on 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.560 the ball the entire time, but was able to fade 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:40.360 away and hit a soft seventeen footer just to the 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.760 right of the right elbow and a b was fouled 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:47.160 at the end of the play on Amina fifteen points, 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.640 nine rebounds, three to six from the field, eight of 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.720 nine from the line for Joel emb the two time 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:56.440 All Star play just under twenty two minutes the seventy sixers. 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.199 Josh Richardson has been a real big bright spot in 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.880 the preseason night Brett Brown was able to give him 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.680 a little bit more run playing at the primary ball 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.240 handling spot behind Ben Simmons when Simmons went to the 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.000 bench and Richardson we know what he can do offensively, 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.240 very versatile and defensively he's extremely active as well. And 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.400 in this sequence for con Corkmas was the beneficiary. Cork 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.800 mos with it, a runner at the dotted circle, rattles 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.480 it and drops it for God, leaving off his left 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.560 foot and here's a steal by Josh Richardson back to 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.599 cork Boise for three, and it's gone five in a 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:30.560 row for cork Mos, one of the five first half 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.320 steals for Jay rich cork Mos played ten minutes and 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.720 he did okay. He was plus fifteen, seven points, two rebounds, 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.160 three or four from the field, and he hit that 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.760 one three pointer that you just heard. I really liked 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.240 the way to Bias. Harris got the seventy six ers 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.040 off to a strong start in tonight's win. He was 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.400 able to finish with fourteen points, five or twelve from 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.240 the floor. Toy knockdown two three pointers as well. Harris 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.679 with a pass out top the Richardson. Richardson with two 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.000 dribbles with the left hand, rap Aroun back out the 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.360 right river to Harris and that's good. So the ball 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.839 goes back from whence it came and the basket is 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.800 good bye Harris. He's got both field goals along with Embiide, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.400 Richardson and Harris. Al Horford was a starter who finished 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.120 in double figures. He had eleven points, four rebounds. Ben 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.920 Simmons did not finish in double digits. He had three points, 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.360 nine boards, four assists and two steals. But off the bench, 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.120 Matisse Stible continues to play well. The number twenty overall pick. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.400 He was part of a really solid reserve effort for 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.120 the seventy Sixers in the dub over the Orlando Magic. 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.200 Kylo Quinn with it so all reserves out there for 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.280 Brett Brown. Here's a duck fight Thiable. He breaks free 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.280 o Quinn with a pass at Matie Stible with a 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.400 one hand slam in the lead. Great play by the Sixers, 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.240 one of the best of it. A game twenty point lead, 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:48.800 ten points for Thible.
