Orion Kerkering was very candid after his miscue.

Austin Krell @austinkrell.bsky.social · 12h

Kerkering obv choked and that will be the memory of the season but they would've been nowhere near that situation if the hitters with all the cute quotes, accessories, and regular-season flash stepped up in a single impact spot.

He's immortalized on the poster but find it very hard to blame him.

Oh good lord he's bringing in Kerkering.

Was critical of Rob Thomson the first two games but think he's been excellent the last two games of this series. Whatever happens, hitting has made his task incredibly difficult.

The arrow is apparently pointing upward for Embiid, too.

VJ Edgecombe did not practice today. Left hip soreness. Sixers hope to have an update in the morning ahead of Friday’s preseason game.

Paul George just got massive separation from Justin Edwards on a reverse pivot in 1on1s and nailed a fadeaway at the buzzer, eliciting an “OK, P!” from Joel Embiid.

My dad after Game 1: “You’ll see a REAL team tomorrow.” (Eagles blew a 14-point lead and lost)

My dad after Game 2: “I told you all season they weren’t going anywhere.”

My dad after Game 3: “I’m not missing Game 5.”

These guys are unrecognizable from the team that won 96 games and finished with the second best record in baseball. It’s astounding.

Suarez or Nola, if the Phillies can't manage to score ONE run in an elimination game, we're all wasting our time anyway.

NEW @onpattison.bsky.social:

Quentin Grimes spoke for the first time since accepting the Sixers' qualifying offer.

On his offseason, his feelings about free agency, and the road ahead:

‘I wanted to be back here on a longer-term deal.’: Quentin Grimes at peace with free agency as he returns to Sixers | OnPattison

For now, Grimes is just happy to be where his feet are. His mind isn't on the money. It's on helping the Sixers win basketball games.

Trendon Watford had imaging done and no structural damage was found. He will remain out for Friday’s preseason game. Sixers taking careful approach with him.

Austin Krell @austinkrell.bsky.social · 1d

Joel Embiid practiced today, continuing to increase activity and even playing 5v5. Evaluating daily, but “boxes to be checked” before game availability.

Paul George is doing on-court workouts & increasing intensity, integrating into team workouts in coming days. Day-by-day.

I'm going to end up liking Task quite a bit, but these accents are driving me crazy. They go from Delco to southern to no accent at all

Trade nothing of substance for something of substance, very intriguing plan.

For the past 3 years, JT would always say, "_____ more Topper!!" to kick off the celebration.

Tonight, "Whatever the hell it takes, Topper!!"

Feels like they understand they had a step to take as a group, and they've played like it all season.

Have decided that watching paint dry would be a far healthier hobby than postseason baseball is.
