Last night will go down as “The Corey Brewer Game.”

Maybe. Probably not. But he had a memorable performance trying to guard James Harden and get in his head. It didn’t really work and the rest of the Rockets sucked, but the Sixers did come away with the 121-93 win.

Harden scored 37 points to tie Wilt Chamberlain’s NBA record with his 20th consecutive game with at least 30 points, which is unreal and tells you how important he is to the Rockets.

As for the Sixers, Brewer started in place of Jimmy Butler (injured wrist) and scored 11 points and also had two blocks and two steals. He also did the following to Harden:

As expected, the fans loved that performance.

Joel Embiid also had a really good showing with 32 points and 14 rebounds with three blocks, one of them on Harden, and two steals. No wonder why his teammates think he should be getting more MVP consideration.

A good win for the Sixers as part of this brutal stretch. It continues Wednesday night at home as the team hosts the Spurs in another nationally televised game. I expect yet another legendary performance from Corey Brewer, who is on a 10-day contract. People forget that.

The Roundup:


So there was some big Eagles news yesterday. Lane Johnson made the Pro Bowl.

But also a PhillyVoice article called Carson Wentz “selfish” and “playing favorites.” As you may expect, his teammates disputed the story, like plenty of them. Malcolm Jenkins wasn’t happy he had to comment on it:

Joe Santoliquito went on WIP to defend his story after a bunch of other criticism came out.

Carry on with the offseason.


Or some Phillies news. Nothing on Harper or Machado, but some news on Aaron Nola. Nola expects to go to court with the Phillies on his salary for 2019.

We do have a brand new addition of Crossed Up available.


In other sports news, lol:

The Rockets traded Carmelo Anthony and cash to the Bulls. Melo won’t play for the Bulls and will become a free agent.

Ronaldo was fined $21.6 million on tax fraud, but will avoid jail.

Mike Francesa thought the obvious Todd Gurley-referee jersey swap Photoshop was real. Back afta this.

New England adopting the underdog narrative is a disgrace to all underdogs.

Speaking of football, the NFL overtime rules are hot garbage.


In the news, Philadelphia police arrested a suspect in a string of car break-ins.
