It's so weird seeing Willie Green as a coach. 

Ya know what is else weird?  The Sixers dominating in bench points

Having Drummond in the post off the bench is a real luxury.  

3 fouls on Danny Green. 0 points so far. Not a good start to the season for him

Offense is stagnant. Should sub in the bench again.

Doc is being stubborn with the subs. 

Yes, he is and the lead is slipping away accordingly.

Refs arent helping. 6ers getting no calls on offense.

Maxey's inexperienced showed right there.  Definitely had time to let the floor setup and rushed a shot unnecessarily.

It seemed like a heads up play to me. He got the 2 for 1 opportunity which Harris ended up scoring on to tie it at the buzzer.

Problem was Maxey's shot on that quick possession was flat/ugly. He shot off balance. He needs to compose himself a bit.

He was feeling the heat of the clock.  A half second more and he had a quality opportunity.  That's not a big concern in the long game.  Just some floor maturity that will come with time.

16 bench points at half. Thank god because the entire starting 5 sucked every minute of that 2nd quarter.

Right now the offense is all ISO. No movement, and no ball movement. 1-2 passes and that guy is ISOing. We dont have good ISO players. Embiid settling for jumpers. Harris not a good off dribble shooter. Maxey being too wild....

yeah. He needed to take the split second to gather and go up on balance. But I did appreciate the quick shot with 5 seconds separating the play and game  clocks. Good decision. Needed better execution.

Stupid Lynam is talking about the 2nd unit needing to establish an identity, and Drummond needing to score more. WTF? Bench is the only reason we arent being blown out. The starters just took an entire quarter off, and Doc did nothing about it.

Both teams on fire now

We need a PG

True. This situation may set Maxey up to lose favor in the eye of fans. Like when Iguodala was thrust in to the alpha role on the team and he just wasnt going to be that player ever in his career. Still really good.

Maxey might average like 5 assists this year which is really quite good for a guy in his first year as a PG in the NBA. But its not going to cut it on a team that wants to contend for a title. 

Hopefully fans stay realistic in their expectations and understand that none of this is Maxey's fault.

@mr_hunt and I have said that for a while now.

Maxey is a Colin Sexton/Lou Williams clone. I hope the Sixers actually realize this and not ruin Maxey. 

3rd time I have heard these idiots harp on needing more from the 2nd unit. They have had 8-9 minutes and looked good.

lead back to double digits

all 5 bench unit in again

10 rebounds now for Drummond.

Bench couldnt get out of its on way on this stint. All sloppy this time. I guess now those idiots look like they were right.

How has our defense been. That would be my biggest concern for this season.

NO is only shooting 40% from the field. And it feels like theyve shot better because some that theyve made, especially early were really tough, well defended shots.

Its not been flashy without Bens steals and fast breaks. But I think its been fairly effective.
