Your Friday Morning Roundup

The Sixers had an 18-point lead. They blew it.

The Trail Blazers used a 19-0 run early in the fourth quarter for a 114-110 come-from-behind victory in Portland. It was awful to watch. Portland also didn’t have Damian Lillard and outscored the Sixers 42-25 in the final frame.

Despite Joel Embiid scoring 29 points and hitting six three-pointers, CJ McCollum went off for 34 points. Shabazz Napier had 23 points and a really sick assist, and Jusuf Nurkic put up 21 points and 12 rebounds despite having five fouls in the fourth quarter. Amazingly, the refs never called a foul on him in the fourth.

But don’t blame the refs, it was another bad Sixers collapse.

That's the third 16+ point second-half lead that the Sixers have blown in nine days. That's gotta stop.

— Rich Hofmann (@rich_hofmann) December 29, 2017

How does this happen again? Games that look like the Sixers have a grasp of gets out of hand quickly, and results in a major collapse.

And it happened on a night where Dario Saric scored 25 points on 10-of-12 shooting. A great night of shooting went to waste because of a god awful collapse.

Let’s bring up the Brett Brown hot seat question. If this continues, his status should be closely examined.

Finally, let me explain how bad Jerryd Bayless was. We were already screwed with Reggie Miller on the call. Bayless made it worse. He had two rebounds, a steal, a turnover, two fouls, a late three-pointer that didn’t count, and a -20 in 19:59 of playing time.

The Sixers take on the Nuggets in Denver Saturday night at 9 PM. They’ll play the Phoenix Suns the following night at 8 PM. Joel probably won’t play in one of those games.

One injury note: Robert Covington left for the second straight game after injuring his left middle finger.

The Roundup:

The Flyers also returned to action for the first time in five days. And they picked up where they left off, a loss. They fell to the Florida Panthers 3-2, and couldn’t get anything going on offense until the 12:28 mark of the third period. Scott Laughton and Shayne Gostisbehere had the two Flyers goals, and Brian Elliott made 24 saves on 27 shots.

Gostisbehere has a close relationship with the Panthers organization when he played for their Junior Panthers team:

“The Panthers did a great job of instilling hockey in Florida. It’s not a hockey state per se. but as the game grew they offered kids my age a chance to play it. All my best friends are still playing hockey. And I’m here. It’s cool. It’s very unique. People ask me where I’m from, whether I’m from Canada. And I say I’m from Florida and you get a look.’’

He was the first player from South Florida to play an NHL game. A few have trickled in since, but it has done little to spike prolonged interest in the Panthers, who just three seasons ago finished first in the Atlantic Division with 103 points. That year, the Panthers finished ahead of just six teams in average attendance.

Tampa Bay, by contrast, has finished in the top 10 over the last four seasons, even when the team failed to reach the playoffs last season.

“I mean, Florida has been a bandwagon state for a while,’’ Gostisbehere said. “Especially down south. I’m pretty sure if you go to Miami Heat games right now they’re not going to be packed. But a couple of years ago they were.’’

The Flyers play tonight in Tampa Bay against the Lightning at 7:30 PM. With Michal Neuvirth off IR, could he get the start in goal?

—

The Eagles had a walk-through practice yesterday, but Brandon Graham did not participate. On Tuesday, Doug Pederson said his injury was “day-to-day.” Wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t play Sunday.

Kevin Kinkead delves into Alshon Jeffery’s bad Monday night and if he and Nick Foles need to build more chemistry.

Remember when Patrick Robinson looked awful in training camp? Well now he’s one of the more important pieces on defense:

The slot takes a much bigger toll on your body than playing outside, particularly when you’re in your eighth pro season like Robinson.

“It’s just a matter of being consistent with your body,’’ he said. “Sometimes guys, they start out pretty good. Cold tub every day. Then, as the year goes along, they start to slack off. You start to get a little lazy.

“When I was younger, I didn’t really need to do any of that, to be honest. Now I try to go in the training room and do the cold tub. Do my stretching. And get a lot of rest. I try to get as much rest as I can.’’

Dannell Ellerbe is starting to feel comfortable after his first game with the Eagles after weeks of practice.

Frank Fitzpatrick profiles Carson Wentz’s surgeon, James Bradley.

An interesting post on how important home field advantage is to the Eagles without Wentz.

Jimmy Kempski ranks the playoff teams he would want to face, from most to least desirable:

5) Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons didn’t just get hot during the playoffs last year. They were really good all season long and rode their success to a near Super Bowl win. Matt Ryan was the NFL’s MVP in 2016, and the Falcons had outstanding skill position players around him in Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman. That set of triplets is still there, and this remains a dangerous team with big-time weapons.

However, when comparing this year’s team to last year’s, for whatever reason, the Falcons have not been as potent offensively. In 2016, they led the NFL with 540 points scored. In 2017, they have 331 points scored with one game to play. That’s 10th in the NFC, behind the Redskins. That is a drastic difference.

Divisional playoff tickets will go on sale Thursday morning at 10 AM. They’ll only be available through Ticketmaster, and there’s a limit of four per household.

Here’s some fun Eagles videos for you. Happy Friday:

In other sports news, James Harden committed two offensive fouls late as the Houston Rockets blew a 26-point lead to the Boston Celtics. He ripped the refs afterwards.

The New York Giants brought back Dave Gettleman as their new general manager after spending four years as GM of the Carolina Panthers. One decision he’ll have to make involves Brandon Marshall, who missed the final 11 games of the season with an ankle injury that required surgery.

Telluride 2017: Angelina Jolie, Francis Ford Coppola, Ken Burns Films Make the Cut

http://styleveryday.com/2017/09/02/telluride-2017-angelina-jolie-francis-ford-coppola-ken-burns-films-make-the-cut/

Telluride 2017: Angelina Jolie, Francis Ford Coppola, Ken Burns Films Make the Cut

Actor Christian Bale and cinematographer Ed Lachman will receive special tributes at the Rocky Mountain festival that kicks off Friday.

As the metaphoric curtain rises on the 44th Telluride Film Festival, which is set to run Friday through Monday, the lineup of world premieres that will be unveiled in the Rocky Mountain town includes Angelina Jolie’s First They Killed My Father, which re-creates life under the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia during the 1970s; Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris’ Battle of the Sexes, which stars Emma Stone and Steve Carell as tennis rivals Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs; Scott Cooper’s Western Hostiles, starring Christian Bale as an Army captain escorting a Cheyenne chief; Joe Wright’s Darkest Hour, in which Gary Oldman steps into the shoes of Winston Churchill: and Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, with Saoirse Ronan in the title role.

Additionally, such high-profile titles as Alexander Payne’s satirical Downsizing, starring Matt Damon; Guillermo del Toro’s spooky The Shape of Water; and Andrew Haigh’s Lean on Pete, in which Steve Buscemi plays a washed-up horse trainer, will be dashing to Colorado after debuting at the Venice Film Festival.

Francis Ford Coppola is also bringing a new cut of his Harlem-set The Cotton Club, which will be titled Cotton Club Encore, that includes footage he was forced to cut from the 1984 release version of the film. “It’s a wonderfully restored vision,” says festival executive director Julie Huntsinger. “It’s what everybody should have seen. Nobody should have seen the version he was required to release years ago. There are minutes that have been added back in — Lonette McKee singing ‘Stormy Weather’ — things the world was robbed of.”

The fest will present its Silver Medallion Awards, which include onstage tributes to Bale, who will be accompanying Hostiles to the event, and also to cinematographer Ed Lachman, whose two tribute sessions will be accompanied by, first, director Todd Haynes’ 2002 Far From Heaven and, then, Haynes and Lachman’s new film Wonderstruck. A Special Medallion also will be given to Katriel Schory, director of the Israeli Film Fund.

And what other festival has an Oscar winner curating its shorts program? But that’s just what Barry Jenkins, a long-standing member of the Telluride family, will be doing this year. After debuting Moonlight at 2016’s fest — the film, of course, went on to win the best picture Oscar, while Jenkins earned the best adapted screenplay trophy — the filmmaker has assembled the shorts program that first screens Friday evening, and, says Huntsinger, “He’s such a great human being — he’s as enthusiastic, organized and exceptional as ever.”

As for the overall shape of this year’s Telluride program, which per tradition was not released until Thursday as the weekend’s attendees were already heading to the mountains, Huntsinger says: “I love it. I think it’s eclectic and that’s how it should be. We have something for everyone — massive, imaginative, audacious films right next to tiny little glorious gems that you need to take time to absorb. There’s such a diverse selection from the wildly surreal like Downsizing to the quiet, majestic Western that is Hostiles. You really see the panorama of humanity, for sure.”

Asked what might be the biggest surprise for this year’s festivalgoers, Huntsinger cites Jolie’s First They Killed My Father, which is based on Loung Ung’s 2000 memoir: “It’s set in Cambodia, nobody speaks English, it is a tremendous accomplishment, a fantastic film.” Huntsinger explains that she watched the film with festival co-director Tom Luddy, “and we were thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be so interesting to have people see this film and not tell them who the director is and have their reaction be whatever it would be?’ I wish so much there was a way that could happen, but it won’t. But I think there will be a lot of emotional reactions to this stunning achievement.”

Among the other films that she predicts will have audiences talking, Huntsinger cites: Darkest Hour, saying, “People, having seen The Crown, may have thought John Lithgow delivered a Winston Churchill that was spectacular, but Gary Oldman — I don’t know how to find the right hyperbolic words to describe his performance, such magnificence”; Paul McGuigan’s Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool, in which Jamie Bell plays a young man who becomes enamored of film star Gloria Grahame, played by Annette Bening; and Lady Bird, in which Ronan plays a Sacramento high school student looking to escape her life.

There are films that wrestle with weighty subjects: Paul Schrader’s First Reformed stars Ethan Hawke and Amanda Seyfried as churchgoers who have each lost family members. And Barbet Schroeder’s documentary The Venerable W. looks at the tensions between Muslims and Buddhists. “It’s a frightful, awful subject, but he tells the story in a solemn, quiet way that devastates you over time,” Huntsinger says.

Other documentaries include a sampling of Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s upcoming PBS series The Vietnam War — the fest is screening episode nine — and the filmmakers will take part in a conversation with Coppola. Also on the docket are all six episodes of Errol Morris’ new true-crime series Wormwood that is heading to Netflix and Lisa Immordino Vreeland’s Love, Cecil, a portrait of British photographer and designer Cecil Beaton.

As for animation, filmmakers Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman are bringing Loving, Vincent, which is animated to look like a painting by Vincent Van Gogh, whose life it recounts.

Rounding out the main lineup are: Arthur Miller: Writer, directed by his daughter, Rebecca Miller; Christopher Quinn’s doc Eating Animals, based on the book by Jonathan Safran Foer; the legendary Agnes Varda’s latest film, Faces Places; Sebastian Lelio’s A Fantastic Woman; Samuel Maoz’s Foxtrot; Rezo Gigineishvili’s Hostages; Ai Weiwei’s Human Flow; Ziad Doueiri’s The Insult; Camille Magid’s Land of the Free; Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Loveless; Mohammad Rasoulof’s A Man of Integrity; Aki Kaurismaki’s The Other Side of Hope; Chloe Zhao’s The Rider; and Kantemir Balagov’s Tenota.

Documentary filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing) is serving as guest director and has selected the following titles: Werner Herzog’s Even Dwarfs Started Small; Jon Bang Carlsen’s Hotel of the Stars; Charles Laughton’s The Night of the Hunter; Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s Salam Cinema; Frederick Wiseman’s Titicut Follies; and Jacques Demy’s The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

In addition to Cotton Club Encore, other restorations and revivals will include Marcel Pagnol’s The Baker’s Wife, Aleksander Volkoff’s Kean, or Disorder and Genius and Carl Junghan’s Such Is Life.

The fest’s Backlot sidebar, which focuses on films about movie and artists, includes: Sophie Bassaler’s Cinema Through the Eye of Magnum, Tony Zierra’s Filmworker, Rudiger Suchsland’s Hitler’s Hollywood, Michael Weatherly’s Jamaica Man, Volker Schlondorff’s Portrait of Valeska Gert, Stacey Steers’ Edge of Alchemy, Anthony Wall’s Slim Gaillard’s Civilisation and Goran Hugo Olsson’s That Summer.
