12-0 run for the 6ers now. This is insane.

It’s all good. If we all agreed on everything it would be a boring place. I wasn’t trying to come off like a D or put out a "gotcha” question so my bad if it came off that way. 

Yeah, I know you’re not that type of poster. Honestly, after your post I just stopped. I took today to go back and read it all and I just reacted faster than I should have.

This is the end to a long road trip.  Which usually spells trouble as far as effort is concerned.  We’ll see how the 3rd goes.  

Keep it coming.  I can’t handle 3 games, skrewball and multiple threads tonight.  

Despite the grueling schedule they are currently in, Embiid is looking rejuvenated tonight. He has 17 and 10, 2 assists so far in the 1st half, and is 6-10 from the floor so far.

Maxey has 7 assists in the half which I suspect is a career high with a half yet to go. 

They are up 9 with 2 minutes left in the half. Crazy.

This 6ers team is awesome. They already beat Chicago last week short handed. Now, even more short handed with more guys out due to covid they actually have won the 1st quarter. 

With Simmons out, they are legitimately just taking that next man up attitude. They are sharing the ball, and just shocking everyone. 

Hows the George the minivan niang doing for ya?

Miss him off the Bench in a jazz uniform!

Hes been very nice. Huge reason why theyre currently top seed in the east. Signing him and Drummond has improved our bench exponentially. Niang's improvement over Mike Scott is impossible to understate. 

Embiid dribbled off his foot for his 5th turnover already. He turned and swung a fist in disgust and almost knocked Lonzo's head off. After a loooong review, it stood as a tech, instead of flagrant. There was clearly no intent. 

Lavine missed the tech FT. 6ERS lead by 9 with 40 seconds left in the half.  Derozan missed a mid-range pull up. Shake rebounded.

Embiid hit a long 3 with 7 seconds left. DeRozan hit a mid range 2.

6ers head in to half up by 10. 57-47

He shouldn’t dribble as much as he does.  And taking Balls head off would be cool.  

He made slight contact with Ball's puffy hairdo. I said if that was Harden's beard, Embiid woulda been tossed.

Yeah I was sad to see him leave, he's not much help on D but he's money from 3 and has a lot of hustle.

Flyers need to keep the pressure up. Starting to sit back a bit in the 3rd 

Atkinson was a great trade for them 

bunch of fouls for Chicago. 6ers couple sloppy possessions. DeRozan heating up. Lead down to 6.

Wasnt Lombardi that called Doug Pederson the worst coach in the NFL then pederson won a super bowl.

I like Jimmy G but I don't think he moves the needle enough.

He's good not bad not elite, one can win games with him if he's supplemented with a running game, but I don't think he's a guy who puts his team on his back and carries them, he's closer to Kirk cousins than he is Aaron Rodgers.

It was Lombardi who called Peterson, I believe, "the least qualified coach of all time (or something similar).” He knows more than us about football, though.

Also, was he wrong about Doug?

Pederson.  

And yes, he was wrong about Doug.  

Embiid had 20 points at half. Has only scored 2 so far in the 3rd. Just had an 0-2 trip to the FT line. And missed a jumper. We badly need someone else to step up tonight. 

Curry just hit an and 1. Hope he gets going. Clinging to a decent lead. Its 9.

This is a thing I have read about, the article I read said it was increasingly common in London. I guess it is happening here too. They were calling it needle spiking I think. Instead of spiking a drink people are actually out there jabbing people with needles now. Crazy...

They did say something about a bunch of cardiac episodes. Something nefarious went on at the concert in Houston.

not that I recall. 

Lead back to double digits. This quarter feels ugly but 6ers are hanging tough on the score board.

Niang just cant freaking get anything to fall tonight. Short, front iron on all of his 3 attempts, but not just missed a floater.

The Astroworld/Travis scott stuff is insane. He was arrested for starting a riot and 8 people died. The videos and stories from people are sad.

When was he arrested? He got arrested a few years ago when fans stormed the stage but not last night as far as I’ve heard

man.... really questionable no call for maxey on the drive at the end of the quarter. 

Heading to the fourth with the lead at 7.

Hope Embiid can contribute more than 2 points this quarter. 

Kork has 5 points so far in the quarter. Maybe he is going to be the guy to have the big quarter we need.

If that's the score... when does Minshew check in to the game?

Nope - the Eagles score on the opening drive and then the Chargers have 105 plays on offense the res of the game to the Eagles 10.  

lead at 10 with under 10 minutes left.

BBall Paul just gave DeRozan a 4 point play. Thats a killer.
