"You just shake theah hand and say, 'You got Harden.'"#foahsuyeh

Doug Kraft joins us to discuss his career as a basketball coach, and how the game has evolved. www.podbean.com/ew/pb-iib5t-...

Biden capped insulin and inhalers at $35/month. Republicans saw that and said, “No, let’s make sure people suffer.” You can’t make this shit up.

Just over 30 years ago, Willie Burton scored a Spectrum-record 53 points in a game. While that was the highlight of his playing career, he has had some bigger days since then. www.libertyballers.com/2025/2/18/24...

Looking back at Hubie Brown's farewell: gordiejones.com/the-tao-of-h...

Great read by Mike Singer, underscoring how unusual Jokic is as a player and a person. Has no interest at all in the trappings of stardom.

Sixers are 11th, at $4.9B

Les Bowen of PHLY Sports joins us to discuss the Eagles' Super Bowl victory, and what might lie ahead for the Birds. www.podbean.com/ew/pb-wrp2j-...

On the bright side (?), there are still 29 games to go.

Drew's great. Here's another reminder.

And still the last coach, and team, to win three straight NFL titles: i.redd.it/v1y24zm3ytha...

Who's the MVP? Milton Williams?

Hoping all the poles are greased in Philly.

Yeah, the Eagles have Saquon, but the Chiefs have, uh, Dave Toub. gordiejones.com/yes-the-eagl...

The Pistons and the 76ers have played three times this year where Detroit has gone 2-1. In those three games... Tobias Harris averaged: - 14.7 PTS - 10.0 REB - 2.0 AST Paul George averaged: - 12.5 PTS - 4.5 REB - 2.5 AST

Looked like Adam Sandler (?) just knocked down a 3 for Detroit.

Guess the Sixers' playoff push will have to begin some other day. (Or season.)

Really well done by Jeff, as always.

Funny how Jake from State Farm never mentions stuff like this in those clever commercials.

C's outscored the Sixers 54-20 over the last 14:56.

Boy, Holiday looks like he would be a good guy to have on your team, eh?

Feels like Derrick White ALWAYS makes big shots. Such a gamer.

You basic 39-10 blitz/flurry/streak

The Boston run is 29-9 since the Sixers went up 90-64 with 2:56 left in the third.

Boy, that got from 26 to 14 in a big hurry. One of the hazards of playing at the pace the Sixers have been playing.

Curious that it took until the third quarter for the C's to realize they're facing a "buncha mites" on defense, to use Dennis Hopper-speak.#hoosiers

Maxey with 11 early, including a 3 over a 7-3 dude and an and-one against a perennial all-defensive guy.

Memo to Justin Edwards: Do NOT gamble when Joker is on the court.

I will never not marvel at the way little men finish in traffic. Kyrie is the best at it, and Steph is really good, too. Maxey is getting to that point.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Yabu has 18 at half. His season/career high is 22

Jamal Murray going with the Maurice Cheeks 'do, circa 1978

Your Sixers -- kinda fun to watch lately!

Yabu always looks like a pulling guard in the open court.

Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Mike Sielski, author of the new book "Magic in the Air: The Myth, the Mystery, and the Soul of the Slam Dunk," joins us. www.podbean.com/ew/pb-nuivx-...

Plus-minus is, of course, an imperfect stat, so take this with a grain of salt: The Sixers' starters were minus-16 tonight, while their bench was plus-81.

JJ Redick said before the game that Maxey is a "monster." He certainly had a monstrous first half, scoring 27.

LeBron giving off "I'm too old for this shit" vibes on his last drive

Maxey and Yabu go 10-16 and score all 25 of the Sixers' first-quarter points. Rest of the team is 0-5.

Looks vaguely familiar ...
