What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
That’s the shot you want Tyrese Maxey taking. Coming off the screen and just pulling up for a triple. He drills it within confidence and Philly leads it 23-17 in the 1st quarter. #Sixers3:58 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers up 23-17 late in the third after Maxey hits another pull-up 3. He’s also already got four assists. Sixers are shooting 10-of-17 from the floor. – 3:57 PM

WHAT A RECOVERY BY WOO.

The normal shot clocks are not working in Chicago. There is one in a corner on each end of the floor. The PA announcer is also counting down the seconds at the end of the shot clock.
The Sixers are not going to play a normal basketball game on this trip. – 3:44 PM

#Sixers coach Doc Rivers was asked if he had a discussion with Tyrese Maxey in light of a report that Maxey could be an option to be packaged with Ben Simmons in a trade to the #Nets: “First of all, the one thing that I won’t do is all of the discussion is from a writer…. – 3:30 PM

A unique wrinkle to the schedule today. The Suns’ two opponents on their back-to-back Monday and Tuesday (Bulls/76ers) play each other on Sunday. A 2-for-1 scouting special! That tips off in an hour. – 2:34 PM
Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
Last time #Bulls played Sixers, Embiid scored 30, but what really hurt Bulls, I thought, was not being able to contain guards. Maxey/Milton combined for 14 assists, drove and dished to Embiid/Korkmaz who went 11-14 from 3. Milton is out today, Korkmaz & Thybulle questionable – 2:28 PM

Sixers coach Doc Rivers on the Bulls: “We’re going to have to face a very mentally tough team tonight. And if we don’t match that, it’s going to be a tough night.” – 2:12 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Steve Nash said nothing has changed with James Harden and his desire to be in Brooklyn except “noise from the outside world.”
That outside noise is coming from Philadelphia, where the 76ers have made their attempts to poach Harden from the Nets very clear. – 2:06 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Billy Donovan expressed optimism that Patrick Williams will be back for some regular-season action. Couched it that he doesn’t know when and it’s not for sure. But called it “very good possibility” as long as no setbacks. – 1:56 PM

Atlanta Hawks big man John Collins has surfaced in trade talks in recent weeks (including as a possible centerpiece of a Ben Simmons deal).
However, now it appears that Collins won’t be moved prior to Thursday’s trade deadline, per @Marc Stein: basketballnews.com/stories/hawks-…1:09 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
The team is the NFC Champion Rams. But the Bulls should pay attention. Stafford is Vooch, RWoods is PWill. But the Rams didn’t do it halfway. Grabbed VMiller at the deadline, signed OBJ. Understood that “windows” are a fugazi. The time is now – future be damned. What say you AK? – 12:32 PM

Sunday- Monday back to back games. Today the 76ers- Monday – Phoenix. No matter how many games I’ve broadcast in my 42 years of college- NBA, I love coming to the gym. At heart I am a gym rat. I love basketball. Love my job . Love everything about it. ⁦⁦@Chicago Bullspic.twitter.com/nLmHUQ3iJ012:18 PM

If Bulls lose today and Spoelstra becomes an All-Star coach, it would be the third time for a Heat coach in franchise’s 34 seasons. Also:
-Stan Van Gundy, 2005
-Erik Spoelstra, 2013
(But never Pat Riley, who did coach the West in the lone All-Star Game held in Miami, in 1990.) – 12:12 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
A reminder …
The head coach for Team Durant in the 2022 NBA All-Star Game will be decided today.
• If Chicago defeats Philadelphia, Bulls coach Billy Donovan will earn the spot.
• If Chicago loses to Philadelphia, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra will earn the spot. – 12:10 PM

Exciting matchup today with the Sixers coming to the UC. If the Bulls win this afternoon, Billy Donovan and his staff will join Ayo, DeMar and Zach in Cleveland to coach the All-Star game.
Zach LaVine (back) and Coby White (right adductor) both listed questionable this morning. – 10:14 AM
