Joel Embiid Returns & Drops 24, Wearing #24, In the 24th Home Game of the Season...
The Philadelphia Sixers beat the Golden State Warriors in Joel Embiid's return to the lineup. He wore number 24 and dropped 24 points. It was also the 24th home game of the season. This is all relative because of Kobe Bryant, of course, and the Sixers had a terrific tribute to him before the game with his Lower Merion jersey displayed on the court. Raul Neto scored 19 points in the first half which led to Ben Simmons only logging in nine first-half minutes. Simmons had one of his games where he wasn't super aggressive, but he only logged 27 minutes. Al Horford was two assists shy of a triple double as he did a little bit of everything. Shake Milton started the game and he was very intriguing at times. Zhaire Smith returned from his sprained ankle and showed his athleticism. D'angelo Russell dropped 28 points. This game just felt different based off of the raw emotion and the passing of Bryant.

Heartbroken about Kobe Bryant. He'd Want Us Talking Hoops, too. So Here's More on the Sixers Win over Lakers
I am absolutely devastated by the news about Kobe Bryant. I found myself shocked for hours and then eventually I balled my eyes out and cried for a long time. It's so hard to process. Because of how much he loved basketball, I knew he would want us to talk about the game. So I decided to add Philadelphia Sixers conversation in the mix as well. I talked about Ben Simmons and his defense and more on the win over Lebron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Lebron James Who? Ben Simmons & the Shorthanded Sixers Crush the Lakers!
The Philadelphia Sixers take down Lebron James and the Los Angeles Lakers even though they were shorthanded. Joel Embiid and Josh Richardson were not available as they are currently injured. Brett Brown inserted Shake Milton into the starting lineup which he held his own. Ben Simmons was the star that dominated the entire game for the Sixers. He recorded 28 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists. He also had four steals. Tobias Harris dropped 29 points and Al Horford came up HUGE with 7 consecutive points down the stretch once the 76ers saw a 22 points lead dwindle to five points. Matisse Thybulle continues his outstanding defense by getting his hands in the cookie jar 5 times! Lebron James made history jumping over Kobe Bryant for third most points in NBA history. Anthony Davis recorded 31 points, but it wasn't enough. The Lakers turned the ball over 22 times and shot under 20% from deep while the Sixers had 23 turnovers, but hit 13 of 37 attempts from behind the arc.
The Sixers Stretch Down 2 Starters & Eagles OC Still Not Hired
DISCLAIMER: I recorded this before Joel Embiid talked about thinking he will be back next week. The Philadelphia Sixers learn that Josh Richardson is going to miss two weeks atleast with his hamstring injury. Joel Embiid was named an all star starter, but he better not play if he hasn't been available for his team over the last few weeks. Remember last year? Ben Simmons is going to have to step up during this next big stretch of games. If 2 starters are out, it comes down to him leading this team with the help of the supporting cast. Tobias Harris and Al Horford are going to have to play well, but they don't have the ability to change the outcome of games like Ben Simmons does. Matisse Thybulle, Furkan Korkmaz, and other bench pieces will need to play a factor. Elton Brand is going to have to look at the trade deadline and see what he can do to help support this team with a role guy.
The Philadelphia Eagles are still looking for their offensive coordinator along with other position coaches. I am confused and questioning why they can't get the job done. So many coaches are staying put instead of joining doug pederson and howie roseman. I can't imagine it just being because of not being able to call plays. Also, I look into a report about current players who may not be here next season and the awful pro bowl.
Sixers Jack Up 46 3s, Ben Simmons 8 Turnovers, & Josh Richardson Leaves Injured in ANOTHER Loss in Toronto
The Philadelphia Sixers lose in Toronto to the Raptors again. This is now their 15th consecutive loss in the regular season to this team in their building. I will say this though, it's a tough to ask the Sixers to win on the road without Joel Embiid and with losing Josh Richardson four minutes into the basketball game. They still had a chance to win and that's the frustrating thing. They had a 14 point lead in the first half and a 10 point lead in the third quarter. Somehow the Raptors led by four after that quarter ended. The Sixers took 46 three-pointers. You read that right, 46. It's way too much even though they shot 39% from deep, but what bothered me is only recording 18 points in the paint. Ben Simmons had 17 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, but eight turnovers. He only had seven field goal attempts which is NOT good enough. Tobias Harris scored 22 points, but he needed to be more aggressive to me. Fred VanVleet got going in the second half scoring 22 points in 42 minutes.
The Versatility of Ben Simmons at Center & Flyers Shutout the Penguins Heading into the All-Star Break!
The Philadelphia Sixers beat the Brooklyn Nets and Ben Simmons recorded 34 points in his triple double. He had 12 assists, 12 rebounds, and five steals. Oh by the way, two blocks. It was a remarkable game for him. Matisse Thybulle was also insanely active as he had four steals and was annoying the Nets all night long. Al Horford came up big with some blocks and a few shots down the stretch as he finished with 19 points. Tobias Harris and Josh Richardson were just, eh. Mike Scott was able to knock down a couple threes and Furkan Korkmaz struggled throughout, but hit a big three-pointer later in the game which was monstrous.
The Philadelphia Flyers head into the all-star break with another big win under their belt. They defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins by a score of 3-0 and Brian Elliott records a 19-save shutout. They have now taken down four of the best teams in the NHL over a 14-day stretch. The penalty kill was absolutely outstanding and Kevin Hayes made the entire building erupt as he milked clock with beautiful moves. Jakub Voracek opened the scoring with a great goal, but the best part about it was Sean Couturier's laser pass through a ridiculous window. Joel Farabee also recorded an assist on the goal. For the second goal, my favorite line the Flyers have right now hopped on the score sheet. James Van Riemsdyk drove the net and Travis Konecny delivered a pass to him backdoor. Claude Giroux, centering the line, received an assists as well. This line put together by Alain Vigneault has been awesome. Sidney Crosby heard BOOs everytime he touched the puck. The audacity by Flyers fans... he is my favorite player in the world. It's a violation, I know. The Flyers head into the break with a 27-17-6 record.
