What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Jamie Hudson @JamieHudson_
Big third quarter with stops, a 14-0 run, a Dame throw down and now this Blazers squad is back in it – 11:53 PM
Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops
Mike Brey will retire after the season.
Who should be next for Notre Dame?

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
2 big buckets from Shake Milton to end that 3rd Q. The Blazers had all the momentum as they got back into this one a bit, but Milton put a stop to that with those 4 quick points. #Sixers11:51 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 79, Blazers 65 at the end of a bad third quarter for the Sixers. They could use some microwave scoring from Maxey or Milton to start the fourth. Wonder how long until Embiid comes back in. – 11:51 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Shake Milton helps the Sixers avert complete disaster in that third quarter. Some super sloppy team offense gave Portland a chance to make it a game.
Sixers lead Blazers 79-65 after three quarters. – 11:50 PM

Blazers certainly haven’t quit. They are up 29-18 in the third quarter and now trail just 75-63. – 11:47 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Montrezl Harrell getting calls in this game that Dame could only dream of (this is not why they’re losing) – 11:44 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Blazers have gotten what was a 26-point deficit down to 75-57 late in the third. Embiid had come off the floor earlier than normal because of the four fouls. – 11:40 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
There was no reason for PJ Tucker to pick up a technical foul there. You’re up big. Just gotta let that one go, man. #Sixers11:37 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Touchdown, Embiid.
(And Harden now with 12 assists to go with his 12 points) – 11:33 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
I think Harden screamed “LAYUP” at Embiid when he delivered the bounce pass to him in the shooting pocket on that last pick-and-roll. Joel hesitated and then knocked down the J. – 11:30 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Embiid is one shy of 600 career blocks. – 11:27 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Like the Sixers, the Blazers also have a chicken-related promotion for free McDonald’s McNuggets if the Blazers reach 100 points. Not sure that’ll happen tonight after their lowest-scoring first half of the season. – 11:23 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Whatever Harden did to take care of that hamstring and get in shape last summer, that regimen should be the textbook for other guards.
The marginal burst that allows him to blow by has been fabulous, even if not a complete return to his prime self. – 11:13 PM
Philadelphia 76ers @sixers

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Sixers lead 57-34 at halftime. Don’t think anyone outside of Maxey and Embiid (who slowed down a bit in the second) was super sharp offensively.
Good Sixers defense, but that was some tough stuff from Portland. – 11:10 PM
Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
An awesome first half showing for the @Philadelphia 76ers, leading, 57-34, at the break.
Embiid: 17 PTS / 6 REB
Maxey: 13 PTS
Harden: 7 PTS / 5 REB / 9 AST – 11:09 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Halftime: Sixers 57, Blazers 34. Sixers didn’t even play that terrifically, but Blazers were baaaad offensively. Shot 31 percent from the floor, 1-of-14 from 3 and committed 12 turnovers that the Sixers converted into 13 points. Embiid with 17 and 6. Maxey with 13. – 11:08 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Sixers 57, Blazers 34: halftime. – 11:08 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
If Sixers weren’t cruising I would probably challenge that 3rd foul on Embiid. Looked like Grant just kind of tripped himself – 11:07 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Doc’s been bringing Maxey in for the last two minutes of the first half, and it pays off there with the 3 to put the Sixers up 25. – 11:05 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Blazers scorers Damian Lillard and Andernee Simons have combined for 6 points on 2/14 shooting right now. Just FYI, Lillard entered the night averaging 29.3 points and Simons entered averaging 21.7 points. Philly up 20. #Sixers10:59 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Lillard has four points on 1-for-8 shooting. – 10:51 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Sixers up 21 with 8:23 in the half, and the Blazers fans boos are getting louder. – 10:46 PM
Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentress
Blazers have committed 9 turnovers 16 minutes into this game and trail the 76ers 40-19. Philly has the No. 2-rated defense in the NBA and it shows. Blazers shooting 24.1%. – 10:46 PM
Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentress
Jabari Walker and Shaedon Sharpe look very much like rookies against this Philadelphia team. – 10:44 PM

Kevin Pelton @kpelton
The awareness every Sixers defender has of Damian Lillard’s location is remarkable. He’s started 1-of-6 with three turnovers and the other Blazers haven’t been able to take advantage of that gravity. – 10:42 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Sixers defense has been good and deserves some credit, but holy hell, the Blazers are out of sorts. – 10:42 PM
Sean Highkin @highkin
Blazers are completely out of sorts right now. Nothing is working. – 10:41 PM
Philadelphia 76ers @sixers
off to a strong start. 💪

Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentress
The Blazers are struggling against Philly’s defensive intensity. The 76ers are playing as if this is a playoff game. They are bringing it and Portland is struggling to get shots off and hold on to the ball. Shooting 26.1%. Down 30-14 early 2nd. – 10:41 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Terrific first quarter for Philadelphia. They held the Blazers to 27.3% shooting and 0/6 from deep while getting 10 points from Joel Embiid and 6 off the bench from Tyrese Maxey. Philly leads it 26-14 after 1 quarter. #Sixers10:39 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 26, Blazers 14 at the end of the first. Portland made just 6 of its 22 shots, including 0-of-6 from 3. Lillard and Simons are a combined 2-of-11. Embiid with 10 and 6. Maxey with 6 off the bench. Harden already with 6 assists. – 10:37 PM
Sean Highkin @highkin
Blazers are down 12 after the first quarter and it simultaneously feels like they should be only down by 2 and like they should be down by 20, if that makes sense. – 10:36 PM

Sixers 26, Blazers 14: end of first quarter. – 10:36 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Sixers have not committed a turnover in the first 10:42 of this game. Not shooting great (helluva lot better than Blazers, though), but they’ve given themselves a chance on every possession. – 10:34 PM

Maxey fakes like he’s gonna use that Embiid screen then hits a baseline tear drop pic.twitter.com/VPwucx28Sr10:33 PM

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Harden-Embiid connection rolling, Maxey with some real juice off the bench, Sixers are cooking early – 10:32 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Maxey to end the first tonight looks like Maxey to start the fourth against the Clippers. He’s hit two pull-ups and a driving floater to push the Sixers’ lead to 26-12. – 10:32 PM
Sean Highkin @highkin
Blazers are getting great looks and smoking them all over the place. – 10:31 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Early observation: The Blazers can’t shoot. – 10:30 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Once again, Joel Embiid is off to a terrific start on the offensive end of the floor. He’s up to 10 points on 4/6 shooting and he’s been a big deterrent on the defensive end at the rim. #Sixers10:27 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Sixers basically running a shell drill of their offense early, Embiid just doing whatever he wants around the nail.
Think it’s underrated that Harden isn’t afraid to thread the needle with bounce passes, esp. in transition. Worst case is a kicked ball, best case highlight dime. – 10:24 PM
Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
The @Philadelphia 76ers lead, 15-6, at the first break.
Joel Embiid: 10 PTS / 4-5 fg
The Trail Blazers: 6 PTS / 3-13 fg – 10:24 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
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
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
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
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Y’all are gonna be surprised by this one, but…
Embiid is off to a fast start yet again. – 10:22 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
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
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Blazers had started 1-for-10 from the floor before that finish by Grant. – 10:20 PM
Sean Highkin @highkin
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
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Blazers are 1-of-9 and Nurk picks up his second foul with 7:35 to play in the first quarter. – 10:19 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
Some very very rapid MVP chants for Embiid at the stripe here in Portland – 10:18 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Not sure if ya’ll can see it on TV, but there’s a fan sitting right behind the Sixers’ bench with a “Play Paul Reed” sign. – 10:18 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
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
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Joel Embiid is a Kornet Kontesting madman right now. – 10:17 PM
Sean Highkin @highkin
Cheers for Embiid, boos for Harden. – 10:07 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

Mike Brey spent 23 years at Notre Dame. Impressive. But not even half a Boeheim. – 7:33 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
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/063YAZNWLC5:58 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
