Bunch of Sixers media guys have been talking him up the last day or so because of his box score stats and +/- but totally ignore him falling apart time and time again in the fourth quarter. Happens every playoffs.

It's very frustrating how much the national media fawns over him. So many of the national pundits really think he's better or as good as Jokic and just seem to forget he's nearly a Harden level bed wetter in big Playoff games.

Brunson and Maxey look like the only two capable of scoring in this game.

Whoever plays the Knicks next good luck with the Brunson whistle. It’s special

Embiid is the Karl Malone of this generation.

Goodnight Nurse.

Fire Doc for lack of playoff success, then get bounced in the first round. Something that didn't happen under Doc.

**** Philly.

Some very tired/lazy moments for the Sixers two best guys down the stretch. This Knicks team just gets after it for the entire 48 minutes.

We could've have Giannis & Dame in MSG for the playoffs and we're gonna lose to the **** Pacers because of injuries. I hate basketball.

Maxey missed free throws, made a poor pass resulting in a turnover but has otherwise carried the Sixers to at least OT. Good for him.

Maxey has gone full Reggie Miller 30 years later. Love it.

Maxey has been amazing. Such an impressive performance when his team mates looked scared to touch the ball.

I like Maxey. Embiid is my least favorite player.

Thibs must get so pissed off at how Embiid is officiated. Bet if he slept at all it would keep him up at night.

Maxey is a beast.
