Maxey right now brings back memories of AI's early years where he had no help, the team sucked, but he'd still drop 35.

Zion hasn't missed a shot. Rim protection is putrid without Embiid.

At this point there's nothing stopping any pelicans player from getting to the rim and Zion is pretty much unstoppable around the rim.

Kate Scott saying "Sixers not going away" as we're down by 22 with less than 2 minutes to go in the 2nd half....

So this is how the experience is with Maxey being your best player huh

I don't remember A.I being affected by physicality even early on. A.I was just a different animal that never stopped coming.

Haven't watched a second of this because the starting lineup and bench brings me sadness with the injuries.

If there is one thing you can count on is Tobias struggling against long athletic defenders

He’s struggling against guys the size of the Pels. Maybe hunt CJ and let him force to switch to Tobi?

Trade Embiid for Zion

So, i went to see the numbers and Maxey is the guy who does more miles per game in the entire league and also is playing the higher average of minutes since Jimmy Butler on 2014.

:lol:

I had Jordan Hawkins in the lottery in my mock.

Good game to have such crappy refs, might as well deal with it in a blowout.

Its ok. Perfect game for Morey /Maxey/ Nurse to be like yep I still got some work to do.

We are dropping in the standings though to middle pack

The NBA is home to the highest level of collective basketball talent in the world. These are the best officials we can find?

Whatever performance standards they currently have in place simply aren't good enough.

Is Embiids biological father starting?
