What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Tobias Harris with a couple of buckets in this 2nd half is a good sign after a struggle in the 1st half. He has 9 points now to extend Philly’s lead. #Sixers – 10:29 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Malone just stormed the court to argue with an offical and had to be held back by Nikola Jokic. Malone is tossed from the game leaving David Adelman to fill in. – 10:28 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
Michael Malone gets tossed.
Nikola Jokic had to jump in front of him, hold him up and block him from the official. – 10:28 PM

Seth Curry. 🤌🤌🤌 – 10:27 PM

Jokic & Barton: 16-20 FG, 42 points
Rest of the team: 4-23 FG, 10 points
I don’t think that is good. – 10:16 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Halftime rotations as the Nuggets are down 58-52.
Bol should play over Facu in the second half. It’s not his fault, but it has to happen. Denver’s mechanisms are better when three guards play, not four. pic.twitter.com/HPg2uwwLgz – 10:11 PM

Maxey: 13 PTS / 6-9 FG

Milton: 7 PTS / 3 REB / 3 AST
Bassey: 7 PTS / 3 REB / 3 BLK (!) – 10:06 PM

Duvalier Johnson @DuvalierJohnson
Nuggets others have NOT been good. Pretty shocking that they’re still in this game.
At the half, Jokic has 27 points, Barton has 15 points. Combined that’s 42 points.
Denver trails 58-52 points.
If you’re Coach Malone, what’s your message to the team? – 10:05 PM

#Sixers lead 58-52 at the half. Jokić has 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Maxey leads the #Sixers with 13 points, while Curry has 12. Bassey with 7 points and 3 blocks. – 10:04 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Philly leads the Nuggets 58-52 at halftime. Tyrese Maxey has 13, Seth Curry has 12, Charles Bassey has 7 and 2 blocks off the bench. Tobias Harris is off to a 2/8 shaft shooting the ball. #Sixers – 10:04 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Sixers lead Denver 58-52 at half despite an absolute haymaker from Nikola Jokic: 27 points on 12 friggin shots. Drummond made a few mistakes, but a lot of “nothing you can do about it.”
Sixers were good offensively. Shot 7-17 from deep but the quality of those looks was high. – 10:04 PM

Nikola Jokic scored or assisted on 15 of Denver’s 20 field goals in the first half. – 10:03 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Will Barton III was huge for the Nuggets in the first half.
15 points (6-8 FG)
7 rebounds
5 assists
He is also on triple-double watch. – 10:03 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 58, Nuggets 52 at the half. Jokic and the Nuggets’ 3-point shooting trimmed a 17-point Philly lead to single digits, but some key shot-making by Curry kept the Sixers in front. Jokic has 27-6-5. Maxey with 13, Curry 12 and Bassey as the unsung hero in that second quarter. – 10:03 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Nikola Jokic at halftime:
27 points (10-12 FG)
6 rebounds
5 assists
Again, it is only halftime. This is absurd. – 10:02 PM

Nikola Jokic finishes the first half with 27 points … or 52% of the #Nuggets 52 points.
Had six rebounds and five assists, too. – 10:02 PM

Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Halftime in Denver: Nikola Jokic has 27 of the Nuggets’ 52 points. He’s scored or assisted on 15 of Denver’s 20 baskets. – 10:02 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
MVP ballot this season is gonna be impossible if the early results keep up. Jokic won MVP last year and has arguably been better this season. Curry is a 2-time MVP having as dominant a season as ever leading the West’s best. And Durant is having maybe the best year of his career. – 10:02 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Nikola Jokic, man. Sheesh. What a player. He’s keeping the Nuggets in this game essentially by himself right now. – 10:00 PM

Jokic just passed out of a post up, ran back to 3, and hit the catch and shoot triple on the move because why the hell not – 9:58 PM

Drummond now back in the game after Bassey’s excellent minutes. Jokic tore him up in the first. Let’s see what happens during this spurt before the half. – 9:54 PM

Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Charles Bassey’s first 8 minutes tonight:
7 PTS / 3 BLK (!) / 3 REB – 9:52 PM

Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
There’s 6:36 left in the second, Nikola Jokic has 19 of Denver’s 29 points. – 9:51 PM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
#Sixers up 41-27 after Korkmaz’s 25-foot three-pointer. The Nuggets called a timeout. The Sixers have a 17-4 scoring edge this quarter. Curry with six points, while Korkmaz has five. Milton and Bassey have three each. – 9:50 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Legitimately can’t believe how well Bassey has played. The Sixers could be up more, Milton and Niang missed open 3s after he made a great pass on the short roll and blocked Jokic in one-on-one post defense. – 9:49 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
It’s incredible what happens when shots actually fall. A Furkan Korkmaz triple and Philly has a 41-27 lead on the road over the Nuggets. They’re 6/13 from deep to start this one. #Sixers – 9:48 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
Barton gets his pocket picked, Malone facepalms, Korkmaz buries a 3. And it’s a 14-point deficit.
#Nuggets are getting punked. – 9:48 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
The Nuggets offense has no rhythm, their defense is getting ran on and all of the momentum is working for the 76ers. Denver trails 41-27 with 7 minutes left before halftime. – 9:48 PM

Philadelphia 76ers @sixers
SHAKE. MILTON. pic.twitter.com/XN1Df3PjPk – 9:48 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Drummond was already jumping before that Curry 3 went splash. This is the most joy we’ve (understandably) seen from the Sixers in quite some time. They now lead 41-27 about halfway through the second. – 9:47 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Bones just has not been helpful. The entire bench has been infected with “bad” at this point. – 9:47 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
No matter what is going on or where he is, Bones Hyland always does what he can to make an impact even if it means tipping out an offensive rebound to Jokic that no one saw coming. He just never slows or quits. – 9:46 PM

Philadelphia 76ers @sixers
confirmed: it DOES feel great for @Seth Curry. pic.twitter.com/xm3zv0oXrZ – 9:45 PM

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Talk about announcing your arrival, Charles Bassey – 9:44 PM

Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
That’s a 14-3 run for Philly since Nikola Jokic went out of the game with two minutes left in the first. Another disaster of a stretch from Denver’s five-man bench lineup. – 9:41 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
Nuggets bench getting outscored 13-3 … and the Sixers have opened up a nine-point lead. – 9:41 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Hello, Charles Bassey. He has been impactful. Tip-in at the end of the first. Offensive board that led to a Curry 3. Drew an offensive foul. Now an and-1 finish. Sixers lead 34-25 at the 9:36 mark of the second. – 9:41 PM

Shake Milton’s first 5 mins tonight:
7 PTS / 3-3 fg / 1-1 3fg – 9:40 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
The 76ers have made some tough shots through strong Nuggets defense so far tonight. So long as the Nuggets keep up their defensive intensity, they should be in a good spot. – 9:40 PM

#Sixers with a competitive first quarter. They lead 24-23 while shooting 47.8 percent. Maxey has 11 points on 5-8 shooting. Jokić leads all scorers with 15 on 6-7 shooting. Harris is shooting 1-5 and Curry is 0-2. – 9:37 PM

Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
The @Philadelphia 76ers lead, 24-23, after Q1, showing fight on both ends.
Maxey: 11 PTS / 5-8 FG
Quarter ends with a strong set of possessions from Charles Bassey, and a very nifty finish from Shake Milton (highlight incoming). – 9:37 PM

Denver Nuggets @nuggets
One quarter in the books 📚 pic.twitter.com/eA9YPb0iNb – 9:36 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Sixers probably gotta do a lot of damage in the non-Jokic minutes tonight if they want to remain competitive.
Interestingly, Charles Bassey again getting run at backup center. Good, active couple of minutes to start for him. – 9:36 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 24, Nuggets 23 at the end of the first. Maxey with 11 points. Jokic already with 15. Both teams shooting about 47 percent from the floor. Denver only has one bench point, while Philly has 6. – 9:35 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Charles Bassey has been pretty impressive in his limited minutes this season. I really like the kid’s activity out there. #Sixers – 9:35 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Bones Hyland just made a disgusting dribble move. Ball got blocked and Malone went screaming at the ref for a goaltend. – 9:35 PM

Denver Nuggets @nuggets
15 points in the first quarter like it’s nothing pic.twitter.com/6N4Ci9sglJ – 9:35 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
That should’ve been goaltending. Not even close. Malone was livid after Bones gets robbed of a layup. – 9:35 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
JaMychal Green’s free throw gets the first non-Joker/Barton points of the game for the #Nuggets.
They had 22 of 23. – 9:33 PM

Denver Nuggets @nuggets
There’s a lot going on here, but we’ll take it pic.twitter.com/N2w8gfT8rk – 9:31 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Charles Bassey getting the backup center minutes behind Drummond. Doc was complimentary of his play after the Utah game, particularly his knowledge of defensive coverages. – 9:31 PM

Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Charles Bassey checks in for some first-quarter run.
Maxey / Milton / Korkmaz / Niang / Bassey – 9:31 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
Casual 15 first-quarter points for Nikola Jokic on 6-of-7 from the field. – 9:31 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Jokic has 15-3-2 after 9 minutes. He is on another planet. – 9:30 PM

Denver Nuggets @nuggets
Better watch ya head 😳 pic.twitter.com/XaDkFnTU6D – 9:27 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Will Barton III and Nikola Jokic have all of Denver’s made shots so far. The Nuggets would benefit from others getting more invovled. – 9:25 PM

Philadelphia 76ers @sixers
things we like to see: Tobi triple. pic.twitter.com/XgZnier7id – 9:25 PM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Maxey to the rescue. The #Sixers point guard started heating up as the Sixers went on a 12-4 run and lead 16-15. Maxey has 9 points on 4-6 shooting. – 9:24 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Tyrese Maxey has 9 quick points on 4-of-6 FG, including that 3 that just gave the Sixers a 16-15 lead. ICYMI: He officially became a Sixer a year ago today, and he recently reflected on a whirlwind year with fellow 2020 draftees Paul Reed and Isaiah Joe.
trib.al/uS2dJ7w – 9:24 PM

Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Tyrese Maxey’s first 7 mins tonight:
9 PTS / 4-6 fg / 1-1 3fg
His 3 gives the @Philadelphia 76ers a 16-15 lead. Timeout Denver. – 9:23 PM

How many shots can Maxey get up tonight? The optimal number very well might be every possession. – 9:23 PM

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
This Maxey kid is pretty good
phillyvoice.com/tyrese-maxey-i… – 9:23 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Maxey is very good. – 9:22 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Maxey giving the Nuggets issues. That last 3 eliminated their lead and put Philly up 16-15. – 9:22 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Ive said this a bunch of times and I am not going to stop now.
People forget that it was Barton who was the first to learn how to play with Jokic and their chemistry is better than ever this year. Having both on the floor gives the Nuggets starters a very high floor. – 9:22 PM

Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Nikola Jokic’s last three games vs. Andre Drummond:
– 12 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists in a 38-point win
– 32 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists
– 39 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists – 9:22 PM

Denver Nuggets @nuggets
😤😤 pic.twitter.com/yJSqZAGXpw – 9:20 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Also, RE: Jerami Grant, I’d be surprised if the Sixers do make a move for him. Grant is a good player, but to move Ben Simmons for him does seem like a desperation move to get rid of him. If Detroit were to offer Cade Cunningham on the other hand? That changed things. – 9:20 PM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Sixers shooting 2-9 (22.2%) while the #Nuggets are 5-8 (62.5%). Harris is 0-3, Niang 1-2, Curry 0-1 and Maxey 1-3, Denver leads 11-4 w/ 7:19 left in quarter. – 9:18 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Andre Drummond tried to pressure Nikola Jokic out on the perimeter there and Jokic slips back door for a dunk. That’s a tough matchup for Dre. #Sixers – 9:18 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Nuggets getting a bit lucky on some of the outside jumpers, but the starting lineup’s defense has been consistently good. Helps when the opposing defense is so bad. – 9:17 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
Malone’s biggest concern coming into tonight was that his team wouldn’t take the Sixers seriously.
Five minutes in, and the #Nuggets are up 11-4 and Jokic is doing all the things. Six points (w/ a chin-up dunk), three rebounds and an assist. – 9:17 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Andre Drummond is being singled out and attacked over and over again like its a playoff game. Denver knows where the 76ers weakness is and are exploiting it. – 9:16 PM

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
in lighter news I still can’t believe the Nuggets play at “Ball Arena” – 9:16 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Aaron Gordon has not gotten tunnel vision this year. His head is always up looking for an open teammate even if he has an advantage near the rim. Credit to him for staying so selfless. – 9:16 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Barton just dunked on Drummond. That looked way too easy considering the height and weight Barton was giving up. – 9:15 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Will Barton dunks all over Andre Drummond contesting the backdoor pass. – 9:15 PM

Denver Nuggets @nuggets
Career 3-pointer 7⃣0⃣0⃣ for Thrill! pic.twitter.com/Hw7aSg1kVs – 9:14 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Not sure how Jokic made that layup but I am not sure how Jokic does most things so all is standard so far. – 9:13 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Will Barton III with a 3 and some words to the crowd to get the scoring going and to get himself back into the flow after his low back pain. – 9:12 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Nuggets are opening with Jeff Green on Tobias Harris and Aaron Gordon on Maxey. I wonder if that changes if Harris begains having a good night. – 9:11 PM

Vinny Benedetto @VBenedetto
Philadelphia wins the tip, and Denver gets a stop on the first possession. Will Barton III drills a corner 3 on the other end to open the scoring. – 9:11 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
The reigning MVP being introduced first (not last) in starting lineup introductions is the most Nikola Jokic thing ever. The most unique professional athlete I’ve ever covered daily. – 9:09 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Ball Arena in Denver is using the Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia intro music to introduce the 76ers starters and I fully approve. – 9:05 PM

Interesting nugget that came via pre-game press conferences today. Doc Rivers said Sam Cassell was actually the first one to suggest Austin Rivers might be a good fit in Denver. Doc relayed the message to Michael Malone.

Nuggets vs Sixers
🔑 defend from deep – they shoot 39% from 3 on the road
🔑 push the pace – they give up 16 fast break ppg
🔑 respect the opponent – down 7 players. Don’t take them lightly.

Nuggets announce both Bones Hyland and Will Barton III are active tonight against the 76ers. – 8:04 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Barton’s active which means he will probably start.
Interesting to see whether they go three guards (Monte, Rivers, Barton) or if they keep Jeff Green in there.
I’d wager the former. – 8:04 PM

Malone says he texted Bol Bol after the Dallas loss — Bol’s first rotation minutes of the season: “I told him how proud I was of how he played.”
“He played hard. He did what we asked him to do, and he had an impact on the game.” – 7:33 PM

Katy Winge @katywinge
I don’t know why I find this so interesting, but Doc Rivers will coach against his son, Austin Rivers tonight. He also coaches Seth Curry on the Sixers who is married to his daughter/Austin’s sister Callie Rivers.
A lot of family ties on the court tonight. – 7:31 PM
