Paul Reed absolutely killed the Nets the last time these teams played. Hasnt seen a minute yet tonight. Hard to know what Doc’s vision is sometimes but you just have to let him Cook sometimes. – 9:50 PM

The Sixers are up 116-102 with 8:57 left to play. They’re shooting 53.7% / 51.7% / 96.7% from the field/3/FT line.
6 players in double figures for the Sixers, with Maxey’s 24 leading the way. Really well-rounded offensive performance from the team.
(No comment on the defense). – 9:50 PM

The reality for Nets is that if Simmons could continue playing the way he has in this second half they’d be very happy. He’s provided something offensively. – 9:43 PM

End of the third quarter: Ben Simmons goes the length of the court for a buzzer-beating layup. Will shoot the free throw after a clock review. Nets trail 107-98. Nets have been able to cut it to eight or nine, but not much more. Do they have another rally in them? – 9:35 PM

Sixers have built their lead up to nine, lead 61-52 with 7:17 left in the first half. Kyrie Irving had something to say to either the refs or the Sixers as he walked toward the Nets bench. Looks like Harrell said something to Claxton after that layup. – 8:32 PM

Tyrese Maxey is going insane. Has gotten 2 absurd shooter’s touches, just drilled a stepback on a nasty crossover. He’s got 16 in 10 minutes off the bench to lead the Sixers. PHI up 61-52 with 7:17 to go in 2Q. – 8:32 PM

Greetings from Philly. Nets-Sixers tips shortly. Round two of Ben Simmons against his former squad. This time, Joel Embiid is playing. Nets have won two in a row. This would be another big win. Can they get to three? – 7:29 PM

When asked about matching up against Joel Embiid’s size, Nets coach Jacque Vaughn immediately mentioned Embiid’s shift to playing more out of the high post (elbow/nail).
Wrote about that — and his response to Hakeem’s criticism — a few days ago:

Nets coming brings me back to that Nov. game Paul Reed dropped 19 pts, 10 reb, 2 blocks, 2 steals game high +21, helping a team w/o Embiid, Harden, or Maxey Beat a team WITH Durant, Kyrie, Simmons.
Sixers won 5/8 short handed w/Reed a regular then he was demoted.

Jaren Jackson is still the proper favorite, but he’s also pretty injury prone, and I have a hard time seeing anyone but Claxton winning if it’s not Jaren. I think that’s a nice hedge for Jaren ticket-holders. – 2:01 PM
