What’s the buzz on Twitter?

If you’re watching baseball here’s what I got on Sixers big lead.
Embiid is out. They care on D, they love to pass this game, and Maxey looks exactly like a smaller Klay Thompson on a heater with 7/7 from 3. – 8:44 PM

A perfect half for Tyrese Maxey. 27 points on 10-10 FG (7-7 3P).
The Raptors tail the Embiid-less Sixers 65-48 after their worst half of the young season. – 8:37 PM

These Sixers look like they’ve actually heard of transition defense and they’re all making the extra pass. They have to find a way to get some of this ball movement with Embiid on the floor. – 8:33 PM

Raps look like a team unprepared to play the Sixers without Embiid. They are losing shooters and cannot crack Philly’s zone. – 8:10 PM

Embiid just emerged from the locker room during that timeout and went right up to Maxey, who started the game 4-of-4 from three. – 7:59 PM

Thybulle was the Sixers’ first sub, though rotations are obviously thrown off a bit with Embiid out and Melton starting. Curious to see who eventually comes in for Tucker. – 7:58 PM

No Embiid, no problem so far for Sixers. Maxey usually lights up Raptors and he has 12 in six minutes on perfect shooting. Averaged 21.3 points on 51/41/95% splits in playoffs vs. Raptors. Has averaged 18.3 points and shot 52% vs. Raptors in 6 regular season games. #Raptorkiller – 7:51 PM

With their centre out, the Sixers opt to start centre-less against the centre-less Raptors. Melton starts for Embiid. – 7:43 PM

Without Embiid, I’m guessing we see a bunch of James Harden isos. The Raptors had better get ready to scramble. – 7:40 PM

No Embiid for Philly tonight, right knee injury recovery (I’m gonna google to find out when he had a right knee injury) and those sneaky Raptors are gonna start VanVleet, Trent, Anunoby, Barnes and Siakam. – 7:23 PM

Only one centre from Cameroon is playing tonight (plus one all-star forward). Joel Embiid is out.
Raptors going with usual starters. – 7:06 PM

“A lot” 😂 — Nick Nurse when asked by @SavHamilton11 about how Joel Embiid potentially being out vs. Raptors impacts a game plan. – 5:50 PM

Joel Embiid has been added to the #Sixers injury report. He is questionable for tonight’s game due to right knee recovery.
After Wednesday’s game, Embiid said, “Each game I’ve been getting better,” but mentioned he had a “long way to go” – 1:42 PM

If Zach LaVine is handling his knee management schedule as it was described last week, expect him to sit out tonight against the Spurs, and prepare for the 76ers Saturday. The Bulls have never beaten Joel Embiid. – 9:55 AM

Justin Grasso: Joel Embiid says he challenges the #Sixers defensively moving forward. “Our offense is going to be fine as long as we get stops. We’re not getting stops, we’re not playing good defense, and that’s a recipe for disaster. We need to be better on that end.” -via Twitter @JGrasso_ / October 27, 2022
