I don’t post on here nearly often enough. I’m still on the X app a lot. Gonna make a concerted effort to hop on BlueSky a bit more often.

I spoke to Dylan Harper, the best prospect in the 2025 NBA Draft who did not make the March Madness tournament.

His answer about how he got so good at creating for himself near the rim based on advice from his mom was especially insightful.

The updated Eastern Conference standings after last night’s loss. Philly’s now 3.5 games back of the Bulls for the final play-in spot, but also just a game back of the Raptors in the lottery standings. #Sixers

The Nuggets’ press conference room shares a wall with the visitors’ locker room. Somebody in there shared with me that they could hear screaming coming from the opposite side.

For what it’s worth, the visitors’ press conference room is down the hall.

I asked Paul George about playing tomorrow on the 2nd night of a B2B. He said: “I want to. I want to play. I’m a little sore so I'll see how I feel in the morning, but 100% want to play. Especially, with how we're playing right now. Absolutely.” #Sixers

Nick Nurse says he doesn’t expect Joel Embiid to play tomorrow, but he’s not quite certain on that. They’ve gotta check on both him and Paul George when considering it is a B2B. #Sixers
