The BroadCast: 2/2/2019 ~ Rewind vs. Kings

thought he was. I thought he was excellent defensively and offensively as we saw by sort of the bottom line numbers in his fourth period performance. But overall, I thought he had a hell of a game. He also makes we also talked about but he he'll at the beginning the game and the shop, could you come in on movies? His few threes at the end backbreak is I think it was one hundred and nine hundred, you know, I think his three I think brought it from one nine, one o five, one oh six, one oh five and

then one o nine, one oh five. I think that that was the separation right there. He got loose on us. His overall game was explosive. He can score all over the plays. You know, he's always He's always somebody that you have to be aware of. We just left Golden State similar to the Golden State perimitive guys. You feel like you have to pay attention to Buddy in that same type of the same type of spirit. But I thought he was excellent tonight and especially the three at

the end effectively both broke out back. What do you think the difference was defensibility between the first half and the second half, so we could turn it over a lot. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure. I'll go back and see that. But two pinpointed, I'm not sure. I ended up planning guys, probably longer then I had anticipated. I look forward to seeing what benefit or decline we had there.

But I'm really not sure what the difference was. Yes, you do a lot better job in the second half of taken care of ball as opposed to that first halfen and there was an issue there was just attention to that or what was different Offensively, I think we did do a good job. I think that we ran, you know, decent offense. There was a lull for us and assists, but we didn't turn the ball over, you know, this.

This young team gets out and runs their excellent in open court and anything that that that equal the turnover initially, you know, produced a quick fast break for them, and we needed to play fairy safe at times, and I thought that to end up with only what was a fourteen turnovers, that that's a decent number. Seven. That was head coach Brett Brown live outside of the visitors' locker room in Sacramento, scene of the Sixers lost one fifteen,

one oh eight to the Sacramento Kings. Helloa again. Welcome to the Sixes postgame show here on the Sixers Radio Network. I am Divine Gibbons. We will check back in in Sacramento with Tom McGinnis for his final thoughts at some

point again. After a strong win on Thursday in Oakland over the Golden State Wars, the seventy Sixers did look to close out their four game road trip in Sacramento against these upstar Kings with a three and one record, but unfortunately that was not the case tonight, as Sacramento had other ideas defeating the seventy Sixers again one fifteen,

one oh eight. The Sixers were without starters JJ Reddick and Wilson Chanelen Tonight for this one, rookie Landry Shammon and veteran big man Mike Muscala started in the place of the two key contributors, and tonight you can certainly see where JJ Reddick was missed because the seventy Sixers shot twenty one point two percent from behind the three

point line. You heard Tom again is pointed out they were seven of thirty three from deep and you counter that with the eleven of thirty four the Sacramento Kings heavy for Buddy Heel seven to thirteen for his thirty four points, a game high twelve of twenty one from the floor overall thirty five minutes and twenty nine seconds of play four Buddy Heal, he was phenomenal tonight, as Tom again his win it out. You just heard Brett

Brown say the same thing. He really got things rolling in the final quarter when the Sixers made their comeback and they needed his shooting, and he definitely came in and provided that spark for the Sacramento Kings to close things out at the end of the ball game. Tonight for Jimmy Butler, he also had a strong fourth quarter with his fifteen points in the final frame to help give the seventy Sixers their leads as things started to go with a three pointer and an and one to

make it ninety eight ninety seven. He really had things going overall, starting off the fourth quarter with the three pointer and one. He had two of those types of plays for the seventy sixes to night in the final quarter, which were big, but it wasn't enough overall for the seventy Sixes tonight again falling one fifteen, one O eight. Jimmy Butler with his twenty nine tied for a team high with Joel Embiid for his twenty nine point, seventeen rebounds,

eleven and thirteen from the free throw line. Struggle from the field for the second straight game, but he continues to put up strong numbers. You hope that those numbers, plus Jimmy Butler's and the twenty two points, eight rebounds four assists from Ben Simmons were enough to get the seventy sixers over the hump, especially when they made the

push in the final quarter. But unfortunately that was not the case tonight again as they fall by seven on the road, ending their final game of this four game road trip with a two and two record with losses to Denver and the Kings. Tonight nice wins over the Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. They get back at it on Tuesday, back here in Philadelphia hosting the Toronto Raptors.

The Kings improved to twenty seven and twenty five. This is the sixtes

postgame show here on the Sixes Radio Network. I'm Divine Givens. We now head back to the Golden One Center in Sacramento to check in with Tom McGinnis time. Coming off of that great win on Thursday in Golden State, got off to a bit of a sluggish start here in the first frame, only down by six in the first quarter. But one of those types of games, especially when you're missing two of your five starters, where you don't want to get behind and allow one of these young teams

like the upstart Kings to get going. Well, you're right, and that tough start didn't help the Sixers. They definitely gained their confidence. They're playing well, and particularly here. This is now their sixth consecutive win here at home. They blew on Atlanta in their last game. They were able to rest and practice and get ready for the Sixers and they're playing in a rhythm, and you know, Jimmy Butler made an interest team down the stretch. Joel was solid.

He kept the Sixers in the game. Ben had a good game, but not enough off the bench. You didn't get a lot from Shammon or Mascalus, so you obviously miss Wilson, Chandler and JJ Reddick the threes until Butler got going late, you really were getting nothing from threes. But Jimmy Butler proved that he can. You know, he's a closer. That's kind of why the Sixers teamed him in that trade. But tough game, I mean, that's the whole thing. You got to be able to back it up.

This is not an easy game, not an easy place to win. They've obviously now won three in a row against the Sixers, and you know, little tiny play, attention to detail costs the Sixers. Blockouts, putbacks, letting Buddy Healed get free, and those are things that cost you and cost the Sixers this game. Yeah, and you can also point out, as you did during the game, a few missed opportunities right at the room by a few players

that will come back to haunt you later on. And as you pointed out time Jimmy Butler, you mentioned it during the broadcast, and I know I had the same sentiment as you do when you acquire someone like Jimmy Butler who is able to do the things that he does within the flow of the offense and individually it was really good to see him go off when they needed it for the eighteen individually in the final frame. Yeah,

no doubt about it. And you know he has a knack of scoring in tight quarters, whether it's off the bounce or even guarded outside the arc. He's six eight, He's an incredible athlete able to lift and score over defenders. You know. So we've seen so much that two man action over the last couple of years with Ruddick and

a bead, and today tonight the Sixers shifted. That were those drible handoffs and that pitching back and forth on the perimeter were it was a bead and Butler and Jimmy was able to use that and score it effectively. And that was, you know, really exciting there as Coach Brown was talking post game where it was a one point game, the Sixers would take the lead and the the

Sacramento King's got a basket back and forth. But again it comes down the stretch where you have to keep them off the board, and the Sixers were unable to do that. That one play that I described where dear de Aaron Fox threw up kind of a desperation shot, just throw in front of the rim, hoping his guys could somehow make a play, and initially it was carlistein who couldn't score it, but then Bagley got and Bagley's

really good. He was very effective. Noticed they played him down the stretch because he could score, and the Sixers put Milton in there for the same reasons. Obviously they're much different players. But Bagley was really good. He came on with a big double double, and Buddy Healed was dynamic for them. I mean, he's like he's one of the most underrated players right now in the NBA, just

his you know, the early part of his career. But he's really a guy can shoot and that's a that's an obviously a huge advantage for a team, and he

was a winning player tonight for them. Yes, he was McGinnis joining us life from the Golden One Center with his final thoughts from the Sixers one fifteen one O eight loss to the Sacramento Kings, and that they have a very active future front court with Bagley and Willie Carley Stein going forward time with the shooting of Healed and Fox in the back court, no doubt about it.

And Giles is going to help them off the bench, and you know, you're thinking, like Willie call ey Stein, Joel's playing way off and what's he giving the offensive? And you look over and he's eight for eight from the field, and he made free throws down the stretch and he's only a fifty six percent free throw shooter. So he made some humongous contributions for them, and he battled against Joe Well, I mean, it's not like he

stopped him. He didn't. Joe had twenty nine points. But to your point, you know, it's sometimes when you know you don't have a true dominant center, but you got a guy who's a good passer, a good rebounder, or a good teammate, a rugged defender, never stops moving, Yeah, and cally Stein, and then you get some of these younger guys in there, and eventually you got to think that maybe Bagley is the starting four man. I don't know that they'll ever be a center in this league,

but he's going to be a really good player. But he had a little bit of a low start this year. But I think they've got obviously a winner, and they really have a young core that's I think rapidly improving, maybe faster than even the Kings themselves thought they would, Yes, and Tom one more before we let you go. Ben Simmons great game against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday again, comes back and gives you another nice night twenty two

eight and four. Seems like he's really starting to fall into that role of when he's not on the ball, having him roam the baseline, cutting the basket, post up deep against some of the smaller defenders and in that dunker's position, seems like he's really really starting to adjust and adapt to that role well for sure. I mean, he's not a one dimensional player by any stretch. He brings a lot to the table, multiple skill sets, and I think the combination of he and TJ certainly over

the last two games has been very effective. And to your point, with McConnell being the primary ball handler, is able to get Ben on the block. I thought around the rim he struggled a little bit in scoring. He takes them difficult when you shoot that right hand jump hook from the baseline, high degree of difficulty. Not a

big success rate for him in that shot. And I would also say overall, in the course of the year, and you know, he puts himself in a position that's a tough spot and I think he needs to work back maybe towards the middle somewhere other than that. But that's just one aspect to your overall point. Tonight, he was the power forward guarding Bagley, and again he's a six ers point guard and he's matching up with their six ten, six to eleven point guard and doing an

efficient job for the most part. And he's so active that first play of the game where he just blew by Blitzia and that to me, Yanger's like, Okay, we're not gonna be able to play him that much tonight, you know. And to his credit, he made a big shot early in the third, but he only played seventeen minutes, because sometimes there's matchups where some of your guys aren't just going to be able to play because of how things play out personnel wise. Well Town, tough loss for

them tonight. It would have been nice to come home three one. But the good thing is they get back at it on Tuesday at home against the Toronto Raptors. So we'll speak to you in a big time game. We'll speak to you on Tuesday and save trip back. We'll check in with you then, all right, Tom Tom McGinnis again live from the Golden One Center in Sacramento, site of the Sixers lost one fifteen, one oh eight to the Kings, now thirty four and nineteen on the season.

The bench for the seventy Sixers tonight did not give you much. As Tom pointed out, they gave them seventeen points, four from Corey Brewer, seven from TJ McConnell, and six from Shake Milton. Obviously, Landry Shammon and Mike muscal does do provide some of the offensive production from the bench, but them stepping into the roles for JJ Reddick and Wilson Chandler respectively, Tonight the bench struggle and when they

probably needed a little bit more to help out the starters. Unfortunately, Brett Brown and the seventy Sixers did not get that tonight. So on the other side, we will check back in with the highlights to Tom McGinnis version again hearing them. We love hearing Tom A. Guinness throughout the postgame show, so we will on the other side with the highlights. This is the Sixers postgame show right here on the

from Sacramento Sixers fall. I'm Divine Givens. This is the Sixes postgame show and it is time for some of the highlights. A very good, very competitive game, and it started off right away with Ben Simmons strong to the rack. Cheers Simmons on the drug. Whoa man? Spin Simmons with a chamba Beliza have the Sixers take the lead. Spin Simmons with the statement to Beliezza for backing out of the contract that he had with the Sixers early on in the season. That made it two oh for the

Philadelphia seventy Sixes. Then they went back and forth. Buddy hilled as we know again a big night tonight with thirty four points overall. But he got started he started off very well in the first quarter. Buddy Hill to the left side, shoot today McConnell for three and it's good Buddy Hill. After a slow start, now it's got ten. The Sexers continue to throw the ball errit late into

the hands of the Shacramento Kings. He went on a nice run, Buddy Hill did to give himself a strong first quarter where he ended up in the first quarter with fifteen points. The Kings led thirty two twenty six at the end of one. When we started things off in the first quarter, I mean in the second quarter, parton me. Jimmy Butler got things going with the nice reverse layup Sexers ball nine minutes to go on the second quarter. Here's Butler on the drive and Jimmy with

a left the right reverse made it look easy. Tie game, our fourth tie thirty six. All Aman shumper quiet on the night night for his total points of only six points tonight, but a big basket at the end of the second quarter for the Sacramento Kings. Shumpert with a shumper across bid court, shumper to the line, three point shot is good. Nobody picked up Imon Shumpert that Brett Brown saying who's starting this guy, they're up like twelve. Shump with his first three that made his sixty two

fifty Kings. That was a ten old run for the Sacramento Kings. Amon Chump with his six points tonight, all in the second quarter again stepping and walking right into that three pointer at that point score at the half sixty two fifty two Sacramento Kings. Ben Simmons again starting the quarter off very aggressively, getting a driving layup to go to make it seventy one sixty three Sacramento, trying to close the gap a little bit, and then he

also continued strong to the basket for the finish. Here's Paller into Bed at Bed with another right hand jam, good feet by Butler. He drew two defenders on a dribble drive from the left wing. Simmons rolls into the lane, receives it off the scores it now Bed with seventeen points, seventy sixty seven Kings. Ben Simmons living in the paint quite often we know off the dribble as the point guard.

He does that, but as we spoke with Tom McGinnis about him having the opportunity to roam the baseline be aggressive with his back to the basket. He's finishing in the paint quite a bit. And again those two strong right there with seventeen points at that point. TJ McConnell on the night again, quiet night from the bench overall. TJ McConnell with seven points off the bench, his loan

three point and forty six ers. Butler one dribble, steps around Shuffert that throws it the TJ McConnell's wide open. He shoots for three, and that's good. TJ McConnell knocking down the trains seventy nine, seventy three to score. At that point, King still in front, and they end that quarter eighty six to seventy nine. That's when things again started to get interesting. Jimmy Butler three pointer plus the foul,

makes the free throw eighty nine eighty three. Sacramento. Ben Simmons with the fast break layup full head steam ninety one eighty seven timeout Kings Shake Milton thrusts them too action because of the absence of JJ Reddick needing to start. Landry Shammitt Shake Milton, as he has done with the seventy sixes, comes in and gives you a nice contribution on the right elbow over to shake Milton Rice baseline pull up two shake roun on the role. It's good

tie game ninety one all shake. Belton puts a lit three of seven from the floor overall tonight or three from deep, but a big basket there to tie to score ninety one ninety one six points on the night for the rookie combo guard Jimmy Butler. Again not just a variety of getting fouled and making the free throw a straight up three point or me jj Reddick fashion it beat to Butler. Jimmy with another three shot in air, got it, Jimmy Butler delivers, ran around and beat ran

back to the arc. Butler big here in the fourth knocks down another three sixtures bike two, one o three, one on one to score at that point. Jimmy Butler with eighteen points in the final frame. But that's because Buddy Hill comes back counters Jimmy Butler's three to make it one oh four, one oh three. The six is still get a basket to make it one oh five, one oh four. But one more time, Buddy, He'll puts the dagger into the six. This evening, what fifth did

he go the Cakes by one. With the ball Buddy healed against Butler outside left, gets the screen, shoots for three. It's in the year. It's gon Buddy Hill pups a head he's been begging with fifty seconds, had the Cakes go up by four. That made it one oh nine, one oh five. As we now know the score one fifteen, one oh eight. The final Kings take this one to

improve to twenty seven and twenty five. Six is fall two thirty four and nineteen and Buddy Hill, it has turned himself into a nice player and it helps out a great deal that he has a nice young point guard to team up with in the backcourt and Deer and Fox the second year man out of Kentucky. Fox on the night nineteen points, eight assists, five or fourteen from the floor in thirty four minutes and fifty eight seconds.

As we talked about Willie Cauley Stein in his activity tonight against Joel Ebiad, he at nineteen and nine for the Sacramento Kings. Marvin Bagley again active off the bench with fourteen and thirteen and nice double double in thirty three minutes and fourteen seconds, so twenty nine points each for Jimmy Butler and Joel Ebid to lead the seventy sixers.

Ben Simmons stuffing stat sheet one more time, twenty two points, eight rebounds, four assists, three turnovers nine to fourteen from the floor, continues to shoot pretty good from the free throw line, nice improvement four of six on the evening he gave it. Also played a game high forty one

minutes and fifty seven seconds. Quiet night for the bench, as we pointed out, So hopefully the seventy six is able to get the guys back JJ Reddick specifically Wilson Chandler will be out with looks like to be about two weeks with his quad injury, so JJ Reddick resting tonight. Hopefully he's back in the lineup on Tuesday at the Center against the Toronto Raptors one more time. Sixers fall one, fifteen, one eight to the Sacramento Kings, dropping to thirty four
