Philly vs Miami Xmas game

[phillynative]

Can't win 1 game without Embiid

[phillynative]

this is great for his development IMO

on my Larry Brown steez

I read that in his voice

[ivysixer2000]

I don''t understand why Nurse went away from Bball on the defensive zone.

Morris and Bamba are bad rebounders.

True, but we have been lacking in scoring so I can see it either way....when is the last time BBall had 18?

Just saying.

Bambas scored 3 points after the first half

Hey, I really don't have a dog in this race, its like picking between a donkey and a mule.

Bamba just more of an offensive threat, while BBall is more of a defensive player, but both have their warts.

It so annoying to have Duncan Robinson hit two dagger threes to seal the game. Gotta be top pick for most punchable face in the league.

[Mik317]

Does show we need another guy who can get his own shot for when the offense stagnates.

but again not an easy role to fill.

Its funny that they need a Harden type but one okay with not being the system and also shooting off ball...which sounds like Brogdon but his bones are made of glass and it seems like teams don't like playing with him soooooo

[phillynative]

Maxey is gonna be sleeping in the gym for a month after this one.

I hope he will be working on shot creation not just step back 3s

[phillynative]

They let that creepy looking rook cook them lol

[Murray_17]

They let that creepy looking rook cook them lol

He's a legit ROTY candidate and is gonna be better than Herro IMO

[Mik317]

I am a corny black man....but goddam does Mark Jones have me beat.

ole "how do you do fellow kids" ass dude

[NYSixersFan]

Maxey making two shots in the last minute really annoyed me.

He's Canadian....says it all to me.

That's cool he's still a creepy looking rook tho

Leave it to the Heat to immediately hit on another draft pick.

Tough loss, weird game,

Duncan Robinson and his substitute teacher looking ass drowns us with a couple threes

El Mariachi gets 10 offensive rebounds on us and gets Robert Rodriguez level action throughout the game.

Meanwhile, Maxey turns into Markelle Simmons.

Goodnight on Christmas, gonna go dream about Brogdan in a Sixers uniform because that's as close to bottom as we can hit for now.

[Negrodamus]

Winless without Embiid. Maxey’s a good 3rd star; terrible main guy.

[76ciology]

We won't advance past the second round in the playoffs if we struggle to create good scoring opportunities, lack a shot creator, and don't have a reliable back-up center for rebounds and defense on these games without Embiid or without Embiid playing 100%

As for Tyese Maxey, he's an elite shot maker, making him a great fit with Embiid. However, he lacks a shot creator mode when Embiid isn't playing.

In this game, the bigger concern is our defense. Paul Reed and Mo Bamba didn't fulfill their roles on the defensive and rebounding fronts, despite having more minutes and opportunities to shine.

[Kova]

Bad loss. We made a good comeback thanks to good adjustments by Nurse, but still blew it. Regardless of Maxey's poor game, that's not why we lost. We were forcing drives and clogging the lane a lot in the first half, and you can't do that against the Heat as they play tough defense inside.
It's a shame because Harris, Oubre and Bamba had nice games.

I agree with the first part , it's obvious we need another shot creator . A player that can break down the defense and get a shot for himself or another player. (Malcom Brogdon). I also feel a little iffy about not having a backup center with size that can rebound and block shots consistently. Reed is undersized and Bamba is unreliable.

As far as Maxey I disagree with him being an elite shot creator(I always said this not just because he had a bad game). He's a very good scorer but he's still a work in progress as a on the ball creator. A little over reliant on that step back 3 and he doesn't have the counter moves to disattach from his defender when he's being hounded.(Go watch a Jalen Brunson/Luka highlight thats an elite shotcreator, they dont let defenses dictate how they play). He plays very well off of Embiid because defenses can't load up on him with Embiid on the floor.

People always go with a white or light skin guy SMH

...But also, Tyler Herro reminds me of this dude, so it's him:

So you agree with both parts then
