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 Swanson on the class then seventh flip Damn heat Rosen down over to JJ three ball. It's good running crops the Sixers postgame show right now on ninety seven five, the fanatic seventy Sixers hold off the Memphis Grizzlies one h three ninety five for their fourth consecutive victory. They're seventeenth overall.
That is good for second most in the wins column in the NBA. Brian Seltz, you with you from down here at the center. JJ Reddick at a team best twenty four in the victory. Let's go to him now in progress at the podium. I think it he'sn't played a couple of games ago where Ben and Jimmy had sun similar. Yeah, that's that's more by design. That plays more by design. You know that in general a team
is going to switch. They might have the big who's ever on Joel sort of dropped back near the rethrow line, and in general, when I catch that ball, it's generally more like on the Malone spot sort of you know, midwing over in the corner. Um, it's not it's not to get you know, a play at the rim. It's just to get the ball in like you know, they're either gonna foul or we're gonna sort of run a play to milk clock. What has the relationship been like
with Jimmy Butler so far? Like, as far as I chemistry on the floor and you got fallings as I thought, Jimmy and I. Oh, um, I mean it's been great. Um. I Jimmy's an easy guy to have as a teammate for me because he plays hard, h he wants to win, and he works his ass off. So um, you know we get along great. We have some similar interests. I won't get into that, but um, look for the podcast on Thursday. All right for those of you who follow the JJ Reddick podcast on the Ringer, sounds like he's
already booked his next guest one Jimmy Butler. Two of them bind for forty five points in tonight's win, part of a seventy nine point combined effort from Simmons, Reddick, Ebid and Butler. The top four you would have to say on the seventy sixers roster, and most telling that Reddick and Butler combined for eleven points to close regulation, the final eleven points the seventy six Ers scored in tonight's game, a one h three ninety five win over
an always tough, grinded out style Memphis Grizzlies team. Tom McGinnis had the call of tonight's games in the seventy Sixers, Tom, let's just go big picture. First, seventeen wins, number two in the league, thirteen, as you said at home, that's more than seventeen other wins have total in terms of
wins in the league. They're playing well right now. They've got a tough week ahead, but they are playing arguably their best basketball after perfect three and oh homestand now absolutely and this was a hard fought game, to be sure, and you know the Sixers came through. And you're right, as I said during the course of the call of tonight's game, at this point last year, the Sixers were thirteen and ten, and now with Jimmy Butler, I believe that this was his tenth game, so I believe they're
eight and two since he got here. And you mentioned the home crowd and the effect it has a sellout crowds here, great atmosphere, tremendous and those four. Yeah, I mean you hear this with other teams, and I think it applies to the sixers, but core four. In other words, you got Reddick and Joel and Ben and Jimmy and they were all because tonight the bench TJ played well. You got Mike Muscala was you know, normally a bench player starting tonight, but they didn't really score at a
rapid rate, so you really needed some scoring. Joel didn't shoot it well, but Ben Simmons and that, you know, we just caught the tail end of Coach Brown describing Ben's play when we joined Brett Brown, as you call it the podium, and he was really good tonight, I mean exceptional. First of all, he was guarded by Kyle Anderson. He took that ball. He's playing the four a little bit more because of and not necessarily from the onset
because he started at the point. But with Wilson Chandler aut coach and said he was going to play more four and when they find a matchup where they feel like Ben can be successful, download they're going to go to it early and often he was able to break it from the foul and extended in the lane. On Kyle Anderson. He started three of three and he made a great alleute feed to Jimmy Butler for a jam. Sixers get out to a ten to three lead. Then things taper off a little bit. Memphis gets back in
the game. Sixers end up leading by one. After one, they outscored them by nine. I believe in the second the lead by ten and Simmons just he had a double double, so did Joel. Those guys have combined for that more than any other duo in the NBA. And then there were a couple plays. You know, where you talk about with Simmons is his ability to rebound and take the ball the length of the floor, and one of those times he did that, and that is it's a rare skill set, and he was a dominant player
at times. Here tonight, seventy sixers over the Grizzlies one oh three to ninety five, twenty four from Reddick, twenty one from Jimmy Butler, fifteen for Joel and b nineteen for Ben Simmons. I do think you've touched upon him a lot, but it is kind of like, and I'm guilty of it. I almost feel like I takes them
on what JJ Reddick does. For granted, like you always talk about now the three, the Simmons, the mb the Butler, but I mean JJ at thirty four years of age, I mean it is just phenomenal what he's still able to do. And we see the end result, which are three pointers, and I think more increasingly as of late drives, the basket and layoffs, but just the movement, all that stuff. He has been so worthy of everything the seventy six
ers have given without question. And as you say, you know, at this age and at this stage of his career, tonight, I believe was what his thirty sixth consecutive game and double figures dating back to last year. And he keeps himself in incredible shape, and you know, he just as a knack, you know, the movement without the basketball. This is gonna make Sixers fan older Sixers fans man. But one of my favorite players growing up to watch was
John Havlichick with the Celtics. He moved without the ball just so much and off the ball and had a knack of getting open. Well. JJ Reddick is a master of leverage and that's what happened on that play. And again one little snippet of his availability that we missed on that layup that he got on that side of the bounce play. Then he went on to describe how they call it really more just to get in play.
But he and Rennick kind of looked at each other like, yeah, this is how the Grizzlies are going to guard this. And they played over the top. In other words, nobody would between JJ and the basket. That's a fundamental breakdown. That's like the first thing you learn about defense is between the man and the basket. And Reddick got that layup because he's so good at shifting and creating space and then the other thing. It's almost a treat. And Brian, you sit there and listen to him at the training
complex with his availability. After Pratt, he dissects the game. I mean, he is really you talk about basketball IQ and Butler has it. I mean, these guys they play at a high level. And part of the reason it's not just their their physical gifts and their skill set, but it's how they think the game. It's their will. And he brings all of that to the table He's really been a, as you say, a terrific player for
the Sixers. And I think you know, when they get into the mix with you start to play with other players like that, it makes the hole obviously much greater. Seventy Sixers real nice win over the Grizzlies one h three ninety five to improve to seventeen and eight on the season. Four straight wins, three straight here at home on this latest homestand and now which would be a
fun week ahead. Yeah, no, seventy Sixers rematch with the Toronto Raptors at Aaron Canada Center, nationally televised game bank. Let's get it right. No, but you're right, Brian. First of all, a little breathing room in the schedule, Brett Brown. They circled tomorrow as a day off and well well needed for the Sixers. Great homestand three and oh breathing room practice time during this past week. And yet you go to Toronto that they play tomorrow. They played Denver,
that's not an easy game. They'd won eight in a row. Speaking of the Raptors, but at some point you gotta go through that team. Okay, it's still gonna be Boston. They're starting to play better. But you know the way that Toronto has been the class of the East. Now this is your squad. I mean, Wilson probably be better by Wednesday. That was part of the reason he didn't play tonight. And and again you may not win the game, but you gotta show that you can go up there.
And you know, whether it's Jimmy on Kawhi Leon or whatever it is that this you know, this is conceivably one of the matchups that could be for the right to play for the NBA Final. Long way to go, a lot of speculations. Certainly, like I said, Boston, Indiana mind walking, these teams are going to be in the mix. But it's certainly the top two teams in the Atlantic in a big matchup. And then you go to Detroit. They're playing incredibly well. I believe they're now eight of
their last ten. They just beat the Warriors. They got to going on the games with Blake Griffin. The game out there in Detroit was an overtime thriller. Griffin had fifty and so obviously, as to your point, two big games. And then they come right back and back to back and they play not back to back, but certainly playing Detroit twice in a row. Friday there and then the next home game Monday here and that'll be on the tenth at seven o'clock when the Sixers come back to
meet Detroit. So all good to be playing this well and to have marquee games like this. It's very exciting and the Sixers are doing a great job. Sixers beat the Grizzlies one of three ninety five. Tom mcguinnis, we thank you very much. Thank you, Brian, goodnight. Yeah, big game coming up on Wednesday. Cannot wait another opportunity to get a crack at the Toronto Raptors and avenge that loss from late October right before Halloween. But that will
be on Wednesday. We still have things to dissect from the rest of tonight's game. A Sixers eight point win over the Memphis Grizzlies, third straight game holding the opposition under one hundred points. That's a first ince February of last year. We hope we might be able to bring you a portion of Jimmy Butler's postgame press conference, so standby for that. If not, we'll run through some of Tims highlight calls coming up.

Seventy Sixers in the finale of a three game homestand tonight versus the Memphis Grizzlies also the finale of the two game series between these two teams. They first met back on November the tenth, when the Sixers
only nine players available at FedEx Forum. Sixers lost that one in overtime by six A fuller compliment of players available tonight, and the Sixers got off to a terrific start. It was fueled by the one and only at Ben Simmons one forty gone by. Butlers put the trap goas de Ben Simmons banks it in again. Ben Simmons was six of the eight for the Sixers downlow right, Ain't shot three for three. Simmons ability to get deep into the interior opened up so much for the seventy Sixers
throughout the rest of the night. He was vital. At the start of the game, the Sixers led twenty six twenty five. After a quarter of play. They would begin to open some things up in quarter at number two and Joel Embiid was going to work. Landry throws it back into play. Joel gets it one on one with Gasolt in the lane around him, and he jams it did of a busted play shamming a loll up, Baseline throws it back into Joel and be hop steps around Gasol,
then powers slams it. That made it forty to thirty four to seventy Sixers would widen the gap even farther in the latter stages of the half. Here Simmons in the lane and Gasol throws up a hook up and gun boys. He oozing with confidence. He went right at Mark Gasol and says, so you used to be the defensive player to here, here's the new wave of NBA stars. Ben Simmons with fiftid six of eight baby hook over
Mount Gasol Sixers by twelve. Yeah. Ben just had that vibe going on tonight that whatever he wanted to get, if he went inside, he was gonna get it. And the Sixers led by the very nice tally of fifty four to forty four at intermission. It was the lowest point total surrendered by the team in a first half this season. Onto the third we go, we heard a
lot about Simmons and Embiid in the first half. JJ Reddick started to get it going on quarter number three, Court Moss made the field go the moment Ago made a nice pass. He sets up JJ again Reddick for three and it's in. That's a big basket. JJ Reddick knocking down the three and again he started out all for five and is now eight of fourteen. And he ended up scoring nine points in the third, Sixers one at seventy eight sixty eight, maintaining that ten point margin
after three. In the fourth, Memphis made a charge. They got to within three eighty four eighty one, and the seventy sixers key clutch, crunch time players stepped up. T J. McConnell's out there on the court as well, helping make things happen. Simmons, we spoke about him getting things started tonight. He did his best put an end to things as well. JJ Jackson almost blocked up with Ben Simmons, gathers in
it and dumpson a two hand rebound put back. Damn Ben Simmons, big time play ninety two eighty one sixers in the crowd goes crazy and the Grizzlies took a time out with justin or five minutes ago. That was an eight nothing run by the seventy sixers. Memphis came back. They would draw closer within four points at ninety three to eighty nine, but the Sixers would get two points from Jimmy Butler at the line and then this from the four time All Star five on the shot block
back to Butler and tight quarters against Shelban Mack. Butler went two. He stepped back shot in the air. It's good Shimmy Butler with a long doose and the Sixers lead ninety seven eighty nine. Where was it from the right perimeter, that's his spot. Flashes of at Charlotte, at Brooklyn and four Jimmy Butler. That was with forty nine seconds to go, making ninety seven eighty nine. Memphis would score the next four points to close the gap to
within four. Ninety seven ninety three. JJ Reddick out of the timeout, Ben Simmons in bounding for the Sixers. Sixers at the offensive end leading by four, which just under thirty nights. I can think they go to JJ Regey g is a layoup. Memphis would a breakdown lay up by JJ Reddick, got a sign out of bounds, play a beauty and at the right moment seventy six Ers let at ninety nine ninety three and they would hold off the Grizzlies from there, winning this one by the
final of one h three to ninety five. Final stats from the box scores to night, seventy Sixers shot forty eight and a half percent from the field, held Memphis to just under forty two percent. Six ers eight of twenty two from three Memphis eleven of twenty eight sixers were plus five in terms of free throws made that helped the cause. They were also plus nine on the glass that two was in their favor. Sixteen turnovers for
the Sixers, fifteen for the Memphis Grizzlies. As we run down some of the individual numbers from tonight's game, JJ Reddick with a game high twenty four points, Jimmy Butler with twenty one, Ben Simmons with his sixteenth double double
nineteen points, twelve rebounds and six assists. We should mentioned Joel and Beat his twenty third double double with fifteen and fourteen and t J McConnell doing great things as well with six points, three rebounds, three assists that would belie his plus sixteen in the box score in tonight's game, telling of the impact that he had against the Memphis Grizzlies. Memphis was led by Mike Connolly, who finished the game with twenty one. Seventy six Ers now seventeen and eight

It wasn't a game winner for you, but boy, it felt like at that late two over in that same spot of years, that right perimeter, that was a huge basket. There your thoughts in general, we played hard the entire game. The game in the game and runs, I think Memphis Mason shot from the Mason shot, but in the and we guard any one they make it
like this don't they. I mean they make it where it's not one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty. The way they play, is that true? Yeah, they guard, they make you make tough shots. How they rebound the ball will and then they play together on both ends of the floor. Man, and right, they're a really good team. Jimmy.
One of your strengths is and you had a few baskets like this where you get a guy in your hip and even though you're weaving through other health defenders, you had that knack of getting to the basket in tight quarters and able to score that. That's a rare offensive skill set. You must love that and really enjoy having that throughout your career. Oh for sure. Work on it all the time in the summer when nobody's looking. I know, man, it pays off in the game. One shot,
however many I'll make. I'm the guy we won there. Now? Is this your favorite song? I know you like country, but you love this song too? Right on? I one thing I for y'all, But I didn't have my Green Sea before again, Thank you, Jimmy.
