Super fascinated by how media voting for All Star shakes out with Embiid and Giannis specifically.
Team records are identical, difference of one game played (Embiid has played more mins), and Embiid has been flat-out better. But feels like Giannis will coast in regardless – 3:57 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

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.

📅 On this day in 2022, the @Philadelphia 76ers Joel Embiid had 50 points and 12 rebounds in 27 minutes versus the Magic.
It’s the fewest minutes played in a 50p/10r game in NBA history.
Klay Thompson is the only player to record less time in a 50-point game.

With a week until All-Star starters are announced, Jayson Tatum has grown his fan vote lead over Joel Embiid for the final frontcourt spot while Jaylen Brown has passed James Harden for the runner up backcourt spot.
