Joel Embiid finished with 34 points in the 1st half against the Spurs.
The only players with more points in a half vs the Spurs since Gregg Popovich became head coach in 1996-97:
– James Harden in 2019 (37 points in 1st half)
– Karl-Anthony Towns in 2022 (36 points in 2nd half) – 8:16 PM

Wrote this in the trade deadline big board but I truly have no idea what Terry Rozier’s trade value would be for other teams. Has been AWESOME in his last 25 games. Also, has a bit of an injury history, two years and $51M left on his deal, and last year wasn’t as good. – 8:08 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
END OF 1Q: Pistons 30, Bucks 30. And I thought Detroit spent the first five minutes stuck in mud.
Gallo: 8 points
Stew didn’t start but played 9 min, was awesome on D
Team isn’t perfect, but the rotation changes over the last 4/5 gms has made this team competitive every night. – 7:43 PM

Since going 0 of 5 from 3-point range at both Boston and Charlotte, Vassell is 10 of 16 in his last 3 outings. – 7:35 PM

Coby White (1560) and DeMar DeRozan (1554) rank 1st & 2nd, respectively, among all NBA players in total minutes played this season. Both have played the most min by any Bulls player through the team’s first 44 games since 2015-16 (J. Butler), per Bulls PR. @cbefred ? Crickets! – 7:15 PM

A lot of Terry Rozier to the Heat trade buzz emerging from Miami based reporters this afternoon. I don’t take anything less than two 1sts + Jovic+Lowry for Charlotte
I discussed a Rozier deal in depth with @TheMiamiHeatUK on the video below

Chris Finch said Mike Conley has some hamstring tightness, and trying to stay on top of that is why Conley is resting tonight. – 6:24 PM

Finch says Mike Conley actually feeling some tightness in his hamstring, which is more of a reason for sitting out tonight as a precaution versus just a general rest day – 6:18 PM

Troy Brown Jr. has started the three games Anthony Edwards has missed thus far this season. But part of that was because Nickeil Alexander-Walker was already in the starting lineup during those games because McDaniels was also hurt at that time.
Alexander-Walker also started in… – 3:01 PM

Hearing a lot of “Terry Rozier’s contract is team friendly because the final year is partially guaranteed.”
That’s not quite right.
It *is* partially guaranteed, but the difference in money is only ~$2M ($24.9M vs $26.6M)…
So not very “team friendly.” – 2:28 PM
