Sixers rookie Justin Edwards caught his first body a night after his alma mater, Imhotep, the 5-time defending Public League champ, stunned Catholic League champ Father Judge.
Not a bad weekend:

Father Judge senior Everett Barnes with the 2-hand hammer. Judge leads SJP, 72-50, with 4 mins left.
Sammy Jackson with the 2-hand flush. Roman up big in Q4.
Roman’s defense afforded some separation in Q3.
Roman 49
Devon Prep 34
Jason Tatum and a few Celtics just showed up at the Palestra and were promptly welcomed …
the way they likely expected.
Catholic League boys’ semifinals from the Palestra.
Roman 28,
Devon Prep 22
at the half.
Tyler Sutton with the acrobatics to end the half.
Also his first basket, though he’s been stellar defensively.

Damn! 😂🤦🏾♂️
We all want the shutout now right?!
Even amid tumult, strife the Miami Heat showed a key ingredient Wednesday night that the Sixers have yet to master consistently: www.inquirer.com/sixers/nba-t...

Watching NFL analysts on TV twist themselves and their logic into knots to give Josh Allen MVP has been fun to watch, and probably more entertaining than the actual “debate.”
If you turned it into a drinking game and sipped after every contradiction, you’d be a puddle by noon
Pops hit a huge shot w/ secs left in the ‘76 playoffs vs Buffalo at the Spectrum.
Grateful that I experienced the look, feel, and smells of the Spectrum bc I can almost envision the scene from ‘76 perfectly. Place was poppin!
Saw this few yrs ago. 1st time seeing Pops play. Kinda cool
2/2
Sixers are wearing the Spectrum-themed unis again, so I was asked to share some childhood memories.
Somebody was generous calling my Pops a “legend,” but much appreciated!
😂🫡
Ironically, I wasn’t even born for what’s now become my fav memory…

I’m not saying there isn’t some good NBA ball these days and even within this game, but FFS.
I love the game w/ every fiber of my being, but it hurts my soul to watch it played like this.
Just the two of us, Grover, Bill Withers … every single time 🤷🏾♂️

Honored to share space with @dgambacorta.bsky.social - one of the best in the biz - to explore how The NFL’s concussion crisis has changed football at every level and caused parents of some high school athletes to question: is football safe for children?

Wow … good call. Man, that was a Carlton level heat check then lol.
Maybe he was falling out of bounds or something but didn’t look like it. Just brutal lol
Did he? Finished 4/12 so if he made 3 in a row late … he was 1 for a bunch before that 😂 🤷🏾♂️
Lololol maybe … but my guy was shooting ice chunks all game
He doesn’t need all that … besides, midpost is often where Embiid operates from so you you’re not necessarily changing a whole lot. Silly that it’s taken this long … makes me wonder if they’ll stick with it 🤷🏾♂️ McCain can prolly score & create from there too. Maddening. 🤦🏾♂️
I understand the actions & the screening & motion & all that 💩 , but running all over the joint, then getting the rock w/ the shot clock on your back yields bad shots, bad possessions.
Sometimes just enter to the midpost & let dudes work out!
Maxey running marathons b4 he gets the ball is silly
End of game was ugly, but PG in the midpost was a good sign to me. Should’ve been using his skillset there all szn. Oubre & Maxey can score there, too. Catch, turn, & face from midpost helps create for others, maybe force doubles, & can create easier shots 1.5 dribbles from the rim, & maybe more FTs
Suggs? Shot clock was at 14? 😂 🤦🏾♂️
Man this is some bad basketball … both teams … both ends … yuck
Damn, bro. You letting go of the rope already?! 😂
Well the trolls have definitely arrived here from the bad place. I strongly recommend to block immediately without comment or engagement.
