Last game all of his shots in the 2nd half were short. He is our fast break guy, he tries to defend, and he is now forced to shoot huge volume (and forces things and kills his efficiency). Guys who can get on hot shooting streaks at the end of games, like a Lillard, dont have to work as hard all game as Maxey does. Maxey can go on a tear in late game situations, in games Embiid plays. It pretty much doesnt happen when Maxey is the only alpha on the court. Hes too worn out.

He usually turns on the jets and is gone.

But Kate Scott was talking about his speed last game. I still see him flying to the rim at times. But its very noticeable that he is tired in the 2nd half when his shots are all so short. It happened a lot last year, and it happened last game. Probably gonna be that way tonight too.
October 26, 2024Oct 26 Once again, Maxey should be out of the game at this point. This team isnt serious about winning. Why is he our there risking injury with 4 minutes left?

Encouraging to know that they look like theyre better than both of these teams if George and Embiid play. Frustrating to know that we will almost never see this whole team on the court. Worse yet, the 76ers knew that, and yet they still look unprepared and unknowing how to play and win games without those guys. They had time to prepare for this, but obviously chose not to prepare for it.
October 26, 2024Oct 26 First 2 games, maxey 10-31, and 6-23 shooting. Offense has to be better. Cant be just Maxey forcing shots. There has to be more structure.

October 26, 2024Oct 26 The KJ Martin either experiment or showcase must end now. He is not a starter and he should be deep on this bench. Without Joel and PG, the spacing is terrible. He only makes it worse.

Without Joel and PG, the spacing is terrible. He only makes it worse. The players talk about Nurse like he is a wizard. Just watched the Paul George podcast last night with Oubre and they both talked about his culture, and how good he is. Last night in his PC he was asked about how he was always known for shutting down a teams top option when he was with Toronto. He knows his stuff. Hes not a fake like Doc. BUT Glaring issues exist with figuring out lineups. Struggled with it all year last year. Struggling with it this season- like, what is training camp and pre-season for? And personnel decisions. Starting KJ Martin. Seriously? And a washed up Eric Gordon. Yabusele is the best PF, and really only true PF on the roster. He should be starting. Council should not be glued to the bench right now. Maybe these things are not Nurse. Maybe its different assistant coaches tasked with this stuff. But its really wearing thin. And one of the biggest flubs is to look so unprepared for life in games without Embiid, when they KNOW he is going to miss a ton of time. This is really inexcusable, and I do think it surely falls on Nurse.

This is really inexcusable, and I do think it surely falls on Nurse. It’s been two games. Even though last night was brutal, I’m willing to give him a little bit more time. Pacers just got waxed and Haliburton but up a 0 burger so that’s probably a loss. But I want to see a better offensive approach and have the guys cutting and move on and off the ball again. You still don’t think Maxey is less than full speed? I’m kind of concerned about it honestly. I know he is tired but I just don’t see his usually burst.
October 26, 2024Oct 26 Comments in that video look like a lot of people are already out on Nick Nurse.
October 26, 2024Oct 26 Watch the first two minutes of these highlights and tell me Maxey doesn’t look as quick or fast this year.
October 27, 2024Oct 27 The east is good this year. We will be a 5th seed if we don’t start getting some wins soon.
