I guess MarJon Beauchamp is called up for the game.

They need to contact the league about Maxey’s lack of calls. It’s ridiculous now. He is a top 10 player now too. What’s the excuse?

Can’t close games with Joel and PG. Probably shouldn’t have either in as closers.

Vucevic with a goaltend which would have made it a 2 point game with 50 sec left.

Are they winless in games where Embiid, George and Maxey play together?

Embiid sucks the life out of the team.

Maxey has to play in slow motion with the senior citizen line up. Joel couldn’t help himself with his iso play yesterday. His brain can still do it but the body doesn’t follow.

0-4 with that group all healthy

Any chance they can move George or Embiid?

I doubt it. I dont even want them to move George either. Hes been useful. Embiid is simply too washed and makes everything worse.

Post-game seemed like Nurse and Maxey are getting a little tired of the lack of cohesion for the team.

Now, Embiid is ruled out for tomorrow vs the Thunder.

This is just completely ridiculous at this point.

11-2 run as soon as Joel comes out.

Vj is so awesome

All 25 points for VJ

Another win. Edgecombe by far outplayed Flagg in this one.

I love the highlight of the missed layup, gets up off the floor for a steal, and puts it in for an And 1.

Maxey also had a fun ankle breaker that but Martin on the floor.

Embiid says he is starting to feel more himself.

From 0-4 to 2 in a row, people are saying the "big 4" are becoming a threat to win the east.

I think at the end Kate called him Edge-come

I'd prefer closer by committee. Maxey and VJ will always be out there. But the other 3 guys can rotate based on how they are playing. Grimes should be the 3rd guy most nights but Barlow and Watford can close games too. If Joel and PG are gonna be out there, its best if they did what they did last night, stand to the side and let the young guys cook. Both can are good 3 point shooters so we can still space the floor if they are positioned properly.

That's because that's how it is supposed to be pronounced. It was in this thread that vj said that's how it's supposed to be said not edge comb

And Joel Ehmbiid

On the subject of Kate, I see someone online got annoyed with her, all night repeatedly, over and over (like she always repeats herself 1000 times in broadcasts) referring to Maxey as "Dallas'Tyrese Maxey"

Like, we get he's from Dallas. Tell us once and let it go. All night kept calling him Dallas' Tyrese Maxey.

Like a month ago she said he corrected her and told her to pronounce his name that way
