This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. He's
the Philadelphia seventy Sixers postgame Show. It beat Swatson on the glass and seventh plump damn heat rozen down over to JJ three Bone's good running crop to the Sixers postgame show right now on ninety seven five The Fanatic a successful home debut for new seventy Sixer All Star Jimmy Butler, and he was the leading man in tonight's win one thirteen, one oh seven over the Utah Jazz twenty eight points, a team high, and wouldn't you know, with nineteen point four seconds left, he's scored in a
diving lamp that essentially put tonight's game out of reach. Brian Seltzer with you from six Ers dot Com US Join in progress right now. Brett Brown, I'm taking control and being proactive versus you know, passing the ball and
you know, getting other people involved. And it's a I can only imagine, and you know the interesting dynamic he feels coming to Philadelphia and play in front of the Philadelphia crowd for the first time, and so with the possessions that he had as far as offensive possessions that he shot the ball, he was incredibly efficient, physical, made some tough shots. I thought him and Ben hooked up on some tremendous plays in early offense and in half quotum.
But that's a that's a fantastic debut for him. He was a bell ringer tonight and just really validates the excitement we all have getting him in the program. You mentioned as a certain on the court as he felt comfortable enough yet that when he guys are on the sideline in the huddles to give him. Yeah, don't you worry about that. He's um, that's how he's wired, you know, and he yeah, I love it like he's he's he can talk and you can say, no, I don't agree
with that. That's a hell of an idea and it's a real conversation. It's great. And I can tell you that you know, from my perspective, you're on the sidelines and you feel you feel about a quarter full with the things you want to do. You just don't have what you wish you had, and you will have with time,
you know, walking down the end of the game. We live in that, you know, like that twelve one two pick and roll and JJ plays and we got some good stuff out of that, you know, and you really just kind of want to bring him up there and like get him involved. I tried it a few times with him and JJ, and I can see that growing. But you really feel, honestly, I feel like I'm forty percent capable of doing some things offensively that you will grow to as time permits, to get to really include
him the way I want to include him. He did, you know, and he for sure and you know, he he he wants to stay on people like that. He doesn't really want to switch and he respected, he wants that responsibility, and so trying to have him connected and not in some switch groups is going to be, you know, an evolution trying to tap into him what he does defensively obviously as well as offensively. But I thought he was really really good on on Donovan Tonight's ob dallage
stretcher tivity. What is really really closed? Well, I mean, John, it's it's a whole new, you know, gift I have. We have that and that that's to my point, I feel about a quarter complete, you know, I got we got seventy five percent probably more to give and grow where we can really put him in some stuff and uh, you know, the pick and rolls and I think some
elbow isolations. Um pairing him up with Joel especially interest me, and you can see we lean on JJ so much and he gets hammered, you know, on some of those actions and reminded me of the Celtic Series. You know, it was a physical thing that we really had a hard time getting too at the end, and we try to just go play in the middle of the floor. But with the growth and inclusion of Jimmy, we're gonna have way more available to us to walk down a game.
Brett Brown going heavy on the analysis of Jimmy Butler's performance tonight in the seventy sixers one thirteen one oh seven victory over the Utah Jazz. Jimmy Butler twenty eight points. He was twelve or fifteen from the field, two of three from outside the arcs seven assists, just the second
time this season he hit that mark. Joellenbad finished with twenty three points, right behind him Ben Simmons with ten, eight and eight, JJ Reddick with sixteen, and off the bench, Amir Johnson a good role in the first half with eleven. The Sixers had to overcome two tough middle periods in
tonight's game. They got off to a great start, only missing two of their fifteen shots in the opening quarter, but they close strong capitalized on some late miscues and miss shots by Utah, and wouldn't you know, Jimmy Butler, with just under twenty seconds to go, Sixers wound a play a call for him. He scored in a diving lamp to the basket to give the Sixers a four point lead, enough insurance to put away Utah for good. One thirteen, one oh seven the final time again. It's

Jimmy Butler the starring man in his debut at home tonight. Brian Seltzer with you from Sixers dot Com. Tom McGinnis
is ready to and now listen. I'm envious, man, you got the nice hoodie on right now. It is frigid inside the center. I'm envious of that nice seventy six or sweatshirt anyhow, not real hot. And Charlottader it's Tobe thirty seven. When we get there, you would have to think twenty nine of the teams very envious. Seventy six is of a player like Jimmy Butler, and man did show tonight only fitting. He got that play call with just under twenty sex to go to put the game away.
That and you know, with everything that we said when the Sixers acquired him and that he was a two way player, and he did exactly that, showing his defensive prowess at the end on Donovan Mitchell and being a go to guy. And like I said, Brian just moments earlier in one of the segments after the game where that side out of bounce play that became one of the easiest baskets of the game, and he shot with such high efficiency. I believe he only missed two shots
in the game. And he was just spectacular. And one of the things I noticed, and it's it's that old deal where you know, we've watched himy Butler with the Bulls, we watched him here two years ago, get fifty three. We saw him with the Wolves last year helping them get into the playoffs. But it's that old deal when you get to see a guy night in and night out.
And the thing that struck me tonight, particularly in the first half, like Ingles was guarding him, and they've had a lot of battles over the years, you know, when especially last year, but it's not like he has this extraordinary ability to blow by like it wasn't like he totally created a huge separation from Ingles. But he's six eight and he was able to extend and get to the basket, you know. Like again, it's not like he blew by him at twenty eight feet away from the goal.
He gets by there and then he's making seemingly an easy basket. So he's a score. As he said, you know himself. He's not the greatest shooter, he's not this, he's not that. But he's a heck of a basketball player. And we saw a slice of that tonight, seventy six ers over the Jazz one thirteen, one oh seven. Yeah, it's like everything you wanted to see from him was on displaying that. I think the point was brought up. I can't remember if we joined it in progress when
Brett Brown was answering this question the press conference. But if you really watched Jimmy and you know, if you if you had an internal ISO cam while you were watching the game and looked at him tonight, he was actively hunting out teammates. Those seven assists, that's not a misleading statistic. That was really a telling way of how he went about tonight's game. Well, yeah, I wouldn't be the guy to have the IO cam because I got it's kind of play. But you want the other guy
up here, I'll track that. No, I got you. You're right, Uh and no, he totally and uh, you know, he makes the plays that come to and that's what guys that are playmakers, you know, it's it's a deal. They can they can score and make plays for others, and he does draw a lot of attention. So no, he was really solid here tonight. And uh and Joel, like I said, you know, was was really good early got
him followed up cold, he got out of rhythm. It almost like to me, just again my interpretation, he had a plan against Gobert, and that was he wasn't going to take him head on, although he did get some baskets down low with him up and unders and whatnot later in the game, that he was going to face up and maybe shoot going away. He did that. He made a couple of earthly baskets and then Gobert went out with the two fouls, and then Joel shifted to the plan that maybe he had going up against Favors,
and he wasn't as effective. I think he was trying to take it to the basket, be more aggressive, and that sort of threw him for a loop a little bit, and then he got the foul difficulties and the technacle late in the first half. But he came back late and had some huge baskets against Gobert. He made his free throws and Ben had a good, solid overall game and I think initially he was over three from the field, but again you look in the high numbers and assists,
rebounds and scoring for Simmons, Reddick had his moments. Muscala
came out early and that was the thing. I mean, this has happened so much for the Sixers where they build up the big lead and then opposition comes back in part because of turnovers, and they made a big run and yet again the Sixers, with this crowd behind them, were able to finish it out and getting their eighth victory here at home, and again part of the overall process to kind of get everybody in sync, and tonight was to me a huge step forward in that regard.
Seventy Sixers knock off the Jazz one thirteen one or seven onto Charlotte Road, back to back, finished for this seventy six ers squad. Then a lengthy stretch at home, and it stood out to me when you were talking with him here Johnson after the game, he was like, and this is a veteran who knows, he was like, this is time for us to try and get things going.
The team has looked all things considered relatively in sync with Butler being thrown into the play, like there has been organization and you know, you got a handful of home games coming up after tomorrow, and there could be a chance for the Sixers. No, absolutely, And again, when you're a team, when you have a good team and you're playing well, you want to play back to back
or whatever. And they realized that the more they play together, they're more they're in these situations, the better and sooner it'll click. And tonight, like I said, I thought that big strides and as I said earlier tonight in the in the area of turnabout is for fair play. They have not played for four days. Charlotte is waiting, resting, practicing. They were, and they've been some great games with Kemba Walker,
including last week the overtime game. And you know, I think the Sixers are anxious to get out there and not only to get on a role in general, but to get on a roll on the road. They've got up their auntie in terms of road victories if they want to get to where they hope to be when it's all said and done, after the regular season seven o'clock game in the Queens City tomorrow night Town. We'll talk to you ten minutes beforehand. Okay, thank you, brob.

Let us get to the highlights. Jimmy Butler his home debut and wouldn't you know it was Butler who put the Sixers on the
board ben with it guarded by Derek Fabers. Now Jimmy turns on ingles down the lane underhand, scoop, what a play. Jimmy Butler going right? It up and a reverse layoff is good, and the Sixers have tied it at two. A strong start, and indeed Butler part of it. Here's Joel spinning on Gobert. Difficult bank. But then and the time I'm taken by the Jazz, Quinn Snyder said no, not again. A four for four. The Sixers lead ten
to two, and so two was Joel and being. The Sixers raced out to a thirty eight to twenty four lead after twelve minutes of action, and they would keep Utah pretty much at arm's length. Midway through the second quarter. Top of the arc, right hand dribble dominating on the Engles, puts it up, thanks it in. Well, you forget Butler is six eight and at no point did he seemed like he had an opening. But he drives and then hangs in the air and banked it in. He's got eleven.
That's why his nickname is Jimmy Buckets. That made it fifty to thirty nine Sixers, but the Jazz would close in. It was only a two point lead for the Sixers. The break fifty four, two fifty two. Onto the third quarter we go and the Jazz tightened things up. Donovan Mitchell really started to find his stride. Sixers forced to play catchup, and they got some tough plays from one Marquel Foltz, Bolts guarded by Mitchell, who gave him difficulties
in the first half. Markl still dribbling, gets a screen by Muscatta in on Gobert, leans in right hand lamp up and good Bolts choosing his athleticism and his leaping ability to lean into Gobert and get the right hand layup. And one from Jimmy Butler gave the Sixers and eighty six eighty four lead heading into the fourth. Donovan Mitchell more points from him and Rudy Gobert early on in the fourth quarter. Sixers fell behind by as many as five points in the fourth ninety five ninety, but then
they started to turn it on. An eight point run capped off by Butler got them back in front and down the stretch. Some members of the new Big Three were particularly clutched. Twelve on the shot, Hawk Simmons still dribbling. One minute to go, Simmons still dribbling. Simmons turns the corner into the lane. He puts it up, Rummy out, Nope, he made it checked out. He made it and he was foul. Ball looked like it was gonna lip out, but it went in and Ben Simmons with the underhand scoop,
he drove it on Crowder, got by one man. Mitchell with a foul bench ships into the right hand and it went in. One oh nine, one oh seven. Sixers. Simmons missed the free throws, Sixers got a stop and then the final exclamation points. Ben Simmons will play in twenty point eight seconds to go and the game Sixers by two. Simmons loves a Jimmy. He touches and he
gets a left hand lamp. Jimmy Butler right down low on Joe Engles Simmons of the great inbound and Joe Eagles pointed at his teammates like, hey, you gotta tell me about das breed. Jimmy Butler rising the occasion, sending the Sixers to one thirteen, one oh seven win. Final stats six Or shot fifteen a half percent from the field, Utah forty six and a half percent. Sixers plus seven and three pointers made eleven of twenty three for the game. Utah costly twenty one to thirty seven from the foulne
look fifty seven percent. Not even that in a six point game. I mean that really that did not help their cause. Sixers plus two on the glass, they overcame eighteen turnovers. Utah committed just thirteen individual notes. Jimmy Butler the high man for the seventy six or twenty eight points on twelve and fifteen, shooting two to three outside the arc, three rebounds, seven assistant, two steals. Joel Embiid with twenty three points seven boards, just a second time
this season he did not have a double double. Sixteen for JJ Reddick, five of eight from the field, ten eight and eight for Ben Simmons, and eleven for Amir Johnson. Donovan Mitchell the game high with thirty one. Rudy Gobert he was a minus twenty six in tonight's game, twelve points and ten rebounds for the stifle Tower. Seventy sixers get up to ten and seven with the win. Utah Jazzer. How seven and eight sixers welcome twenty four thousand to
the building tonight to a sellout crowd. Make that twenty thousand, four hundred and eighty five to the building tonight. A slight difference, but still a sellout. Nonetheless, it was a great playoff like atmosphere at times with fans standing down the stretch. Just a terrific, terrific environment for Jimmy Butler's home debut. Now, for there any voice the seventy six or Tom aginnis Brian Selter saying so long for now, have a great rest of your Friday night from all
of us here at the Sixers Rader Network. You've been listening to seventy sixers rewind. Be sure not to miss new episodes the day after each game this season, all year long.
