Maxey just beat his guy off the dribble, and split those 2 defenders before they had a chance to react and put up that floater. 1 player beat 3 guys in the blink of an eye. What a feel for the game. 

By the way, Maxey didnt make the all rookie 1st team OR 2nd team. I thought we might see him on 2nd team. He might end up the best player out of all of them.

If this game is close, I'm interested to see Tobias in the 4th quarter.  He didn't even move last game.  He stood in a corner and hid from being seen.  

I’m not. Harris is as bad or worse than Ben. At least no one expects Ben to bring shooting.

I should have said it will be amusing to see him stand around like a statue without the ball so I can throw my glass of wine all over our white carpet.  

Maxey set a BEAUTIFUL screen for that wide open George Hill airball.

Harris always begins to disappear when the series continues on and when they face better competition. Look at his last 7 quarters he’s 5-19 for 12 points and 2 free throws. Collins when guarding him is making life miserable for him. Hunter isn’t even in this series it could be worse

Thankfully we made more deals at the deadline than just George hill.... nance and markkanen look really nice right about now 

 Gotta love the announcers highlighting a fully extended push off by Young as if it was a great play by him. Its a clear foul but no mention of that.

Ill never understand what the F they were thinking at that deadline. They sacrificed the season on the failed pursuit of Lowry. Whichever Fer decided it was a good idea to take that down to the literal last minute of the deadline should be fired. In the last hour they should have changed gears to get another guard (even if it was Hill, seemed solid at the time) and a stretch PF. Everyone knew Hill alone wasnt going to be enough, and thats back when we actually thought he was a nice addition.

Yeah, that replay discussion was definitely worthy of an eye roll.

Like we shouldn’t be surprised the bench is an issue. We were all ****ing about it around the trade deadline. The sixers fooled themselves When the bench gave them a couple good games right before the deadline and then down the stretch of the season they look OK because he played a bunch of teams missing players

Simmons with a sigh of relief after he gets sent to the bench after his 3rd foul. 

I know no one seems to like Sexton as much as me, but can you imagine how dynamic a Maxey/Sexton back court would be? The speed and quickness of those 2 together would be damn near unguardable. 

 

presence of mind by Maxey there was nice.

I still rather go after De’Aaron fox with maxey because I think the kings are dumb enough to at least consider trading him if you took on a bad contract

yeah.... Sexton has become a better scorer already. Fox is a bit more of a real PG. I almost prefer sexton because we are so scorer starved for so many years. But id be so pumped with either of them. I also think Sexton may be much more attainable.

More attainable for sure. I’m positive if you trade Simmons there you are going to have to match up contracts which likely means Kevin love. I’d have to go look at how it would even matchup 

Hubie Brown with solid analysis about the versatility of Korkmaz on offense.  

Maxey is pure energy. Doc should have been fired mid game for not playing him last game.

Embiid 6 points and 5 turnovers

Great defense on that last play as well 

The stars don’t care. That says it all.

That was pitiful and they’re only down four.  Lol

Can't wait to see Simmons and Howard on the court again together. 

embiid showing no effort is disheartening.

I just can't get over how disinterested Embiid looks right now.  He was the one guy I didn't think we'd have to worry about tonight.

He’s 100 times better than Capela.  That’s the most frustrating part.

Tobias is having a decent game (so far).
