This seemed like the plan, but I’m curious to see what he looks like since he didn’t play in the preseason.

Jabari Walker has looked like a totally different player in the preseason. He's moving better and looks way more confident.

A much better third quarter from Joel Embiid. All of Tyrese Maxey, LeBron James and Jaylen Brown have been excellent. The flashes are bright for this team.

Some minutes for Jabari Walker at the four here. I like Nick Nurse giving him a look there after an excellent camp/preseason.

An awesome possession off the Maxey-LeBron two-man game. LeBron gets an and-one layup.

Well, not the prettiest quarter for the Sixers. Joel Embiid still struggling with turnovers and staying upright. It's 34-28 Celtics.

Nick Nurse said it’s only for rest. They had a tough week of practice and Edgecombe has played three preseason games already.

A Sixers-themed Wawa hoagie wrapped party bus. Wawa is now the official hoagie and breakfast sandwich of the Sixers. God, I love this city.

For 29 other teams, I’d probably agree with you.

Love the idea of Jericho Sims as a guy you can just throw it to anywhere near the rim. Same with Moussa Cisse, just a bit skinnier and with less NBA experience. Ideal fits with this roster.

Sixers linked to a pair of backup center options to replace Ariel Hukporti
Jericho Sims and Moussa Cissé could be “names to monitor” for the Sixers, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.

As I left the Sixers' practice facility a couple weeks ago and LeBron's helicopter buzzed overhead, there was an unexpected person walking next to me -- Tyrese Maxey. This story is about a guy who is totally unbothered by the spectacle around him.

Tyrese Maxey is built for this
Much attention and scrutiny comes with LeBron James. It doesn’t bother Tyrese Maxey one bit.

Anfernee Simons has to have one of the quickest releases I’ve ever seen. Silky smooth.

Better to temper our expectations before the season even starts, I suppose.

No need to edit. Jalen Hurts gave his team the lead. The head coach blew it.

How is that offensive PI? Cooper doesn’t initiate contact. You can’t throw a flag based on intent. Absurd.

Again, commenting on what I'm currently watching. You inserted your feelings into the conversation. I'm not going to say "Dean Wade struggled in the playoffs for the Cavs" while watching him play his third preseason game with the Sixers.

It's a bloodbath because the Celtics still have regulars in there, but the bright spot -- Labaron Philon is hoopin'. He's got 14 points and seven assists against real NBA competition.

"Big city team beat writers" like me famously don't watch any other teams, especially in the playoffs. I'm commenting on what I'm watching currently, now how he hurt Cavs fans in the postseason.

The Sixers need another backup center in the wake of Ariel Hukporti's Achilles injury. Luckily, they still have a two-way spot open. At @libertyballers.bsky.social, I highlighted some training camp battles around the NBA that could help them solve that issue: www.libertyballers.com/76ers-analys...

Whenever someone asks who I think will lead the Sixers in scoring, I keep saying Tyrese Maxey. It was one preseason half, but you could see how effective he's going to be off-ball with this group.

Joel Embiid's six turnovers the only real blemish offensively tonight. Embiid just looks a little rusty handling the ball.

Sixers with 10 assists on 12 makes. That'll play. Obviously, the defensive intensity will be much different when the games count, but it's easy to see how the offense will function.

About what we expected early. Defense is going to need work, but the offense looks ridiculous.
