Now that things are officially official, I do have some life news to announce. Along with still serving as editor of Sixers Wire, I have been promoted to the Regional NBA Wires editor over at USA Today SMG! I’m looking forward to helping enhance the coverage at all of our sites. – at Philadelphia, PA

Respect where it’s due, I’m not a big Paolo Banchero guy, but he’s hoopin tonight. 35 points on 10/12 shooting, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds. Even 3/4 from 3 and 12/16 from the line.

Man, this LaMelo Ball-Anthony Edwards duo 👀 so explosive

Man, I’m so happy the NBA is back. So much great talent around the league. Some great action tonight so far.

Hopping on FOX29 right now! Talking LeBron, Sixers, Tyrese, Joel, and much more!

Shoutout to Dennis Horner in the 1st picture. A Holy Spirit High School great.

"I feel like he doesn't get tired. One of the fastest guys in the league, if not the fastest with and without the ball." "The pressure he puts on, I want him to continue to do that for the whole game if he can." LeBron and JB speak on Tyrese Maxey #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/stor…

"They were huge because we obviously didn't shoot the ball particularly well from the outside tonight." "Huge, huge, big shots by five." KCP and Simons received a lot of love for their efforts in NYC #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/stor… via @SixersWire

These are some absurd prices

LeBron James on the big 3s by Simons and KCP: “We got the ball moving from one side to another. Guys felt in a good rhythm, and you know, just like you said, KCP was huge. The shots by Ant was huge, too, obviously.” #Sixers

Tyrese Maxey has been terrific off the dribble. My goodness, the speed and quickness he has is such a difference maker. #Sixers

End of 3 quarters: Philadelphia: 83 Knicks: 76 Tyrese Maxey 20 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists Jaylen Brown 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists Anfernee Simons 13 points LeBron James 11 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds Joel Embiid 10 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists #Sixers

Anfernee Simons, my goodness. 2 huge 3s in this 3rd Q. #Sixers

Jaylen Brown has been a bit more active here in this 3rd Q. He's come up with a few steals, he's been aggressive on offense, and Philly is benefiting from it. Philly has pulled to within 63-62 with 7:55 to go in the 3rd. Timeout, Mike Brown. #Sixers

Halftime: Knicks: 58 Philadelphia: 54 Tyrese Maxey 16 points Joel Embiid 10 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds Jaylen Brown 9 points, 3 rebounds LeBron James 5 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists VJ Edgecombe 6 points #Sixers

LeBron James and Spike Lee looked like they had an exchange of words. Lee is never one to not speak his mind.

Andre Drummond has 10, 11, and 2 blocks now off New York's bench in this 1st half. This MSG crowd is chanting his name.
