The Blazers are facing a season-defining stretch of the season with five “winnable” games, the final weeks before the trade deadline as the size issue was exposed against Joel Embiid tonight and Nikola Jokic on Tuesday.

Damian Lillard: “If this was a game where we came out and played well, like the Cleveland game, and then at the end we have hiccups and we lose…this one I didn’t feel like we deserved to win…Nobody in the world is looking at [tonight] saying ‘Man, we should have had that one'” – 2:09 AM

Joel Embiid: “It’s funny when you’ve got these old guys always talking about posting up, ‘you need to spend time in the paint,’ and all that stuff. You can’t win this way anymore. It’s not the fricking 90s or 80s like it used to be. So, they must not have any basketball IQ.” pic.twitter.com/ykoElNlEDl – 1:35 AM

Sixers beat Portland, 105-95. They are 29-16 and 4-0 on their West Coast swing. Last one is Saturday in Sacramento.
Not the prettiest performance, a bit too much fouling and sloppy second-half offensive execution, but a comfortable win nonetheless. Sixers are rolling right now. – 12:23 AM

Good start for Embiid and the Sixers defense. Joel is cooking, Nurkic has a couple fouls already, and Portland has just 6 points. Philly by 9. – 10:23 PM

Feeling like a broken record, but it’s another strong start for Embiid. He’s got 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting in six minutes. The rest of the Sixers are 1-of-8 from the floor. But the Blazers are even worse, and the Sixers lead 15-6 midway through the period. – 10:23 PM

8 straight wins for the Celtics. They’ve opened up a 4.5 game lead on the Bucks, 5 game lead on the 76ers, 5.5 game lead on the Nets (Brooklyn is playing right now) and a 6 game lead on the Cavs.
That’s a nice cushion to have built before the end of January. – 10:21 PM

Nurkic in early foul trouble. They weren’t able to do much with Embiid even with him in. Without him it could get rough. – 10:19 PM

Have loved seeing Embiid run the floor a bit more on this trip. Early seal of Nurkic, good Harden entry, two free throws. Easy money – 10:18 PM

So cool that two of 30 NBA head coaches this week — Miami’s Erik Spoelstra and Denver’s David Adelman — are graduates of Jesuit High. Adelman is 2-0 filling in for Michael Malone, sidelined with Covid-19. Two Portland guys who are excellent coaches and really good human beings. – 9:00 PM

Matisse Thybulle has the 4th highest On-Off on the team despite playing *over half his total w/o Embiid,* possessions that have been *impossible* for #Sixers to win over years. And Harden has only been out there 40 percent of that non-Embiid sample! Some small miracle. – 6:48 PM

Here’s how Embiid will be defended in the playoffs. At least 2 defenders, occasionally 3. Mostly fearless of a kick out for 3. pic.twitter.com/063YAZNWLC – 5:58 PM

“Embiid and the Sixers hope he can become even more dynamic bringing the ball up the floor himself on the break and driving in the half court.”

To me, ZERO reason to go in the so-called “family” for Mike Brey’s replacement. Go get the best candidate if you are Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick.
Should be able to pluck a really good mid-major coach. – 5:31 PM
