This D is awful they are going to score 135+

[Negrodamus]

The more things Philly gives to Marcus Morris, the stronger he gets. Make him mayor.

[Kobblehead]

Also not many guys can matchup with Bostons wings . That’s the reason they are good sadly

There's a small handful.

Jerami Grant is the big name.

Patrick Williams is an option. He defends Tatum really well, historically. Tatum shoots just 38% from the field against Williams. Clearly available with the Bulls about to blow it up and already declining extension with Williams.

I just don't want to blow our load a skinny G that won't solve the F equation.

[Iverson Armband]

Hawks starting to ball and throw in trash. This team is such a waste to watch sans Embiid. This is a terrible hawks team and we got no hope.

What do you expect? We’re pretty evenly matched if not flat out worse than them without Embiid.

[brannigan73]

Hard to win games with one shot creator.

[brannigan73]

I dont know how Young doesnt score every time. He is too quick for anybody on the Sixers.

[brannigan73]

Im done. They still have a chance but not if the offense is going to be just Maxey against a set defense. Make some trades fatboy your letting the good feels slip away.

[Negrodamus]

We’re not going to win anything if the offense is Maxey shooting from 35 ft every third time down. He’s a good shooter, but come on now.

Patrick Williams is a bum, lol.

I agree but I also feel like other teams will be able to beat us in most deals for those guys.

OKC has picks for days and probably need to consolidate some of their youth… the blazers and bulls will want that over Tobias and meh picks

With a C like Embiid, anything other than Maxey may be too much and reach diminishing returns. If you have two high volume touch guys like Embiid and Maxey, the other three guys on the court have to be assist converters that know their role IMO. Otherwise, there's standing around and take turn possessions with too many cooks in the kitchen.

Our roster would be more optimized by just settling for getting a reserve creator to upgrade Bev in the minutes Maxey ain't playing, IMO.

[Mik317]

….. maybe Glenn was right

[AI_Efficiency]

I get that this is somewhat bad luck with injuries, but for a team that can’t seem to get past the first round, it feels like this should be a team with the goal of the 1 seed. I feel like the Celtics are locked in and going to get it and make the finals. Odds aren’t with you of winning it all if you arent a top 1-2 seed usually.

[Mik317]

Going small here is nuts

[Murray_17]

Why is Maxey setting screens'?

[Kobblehead]

Darn, Jalen Johnson getting schooled by Harris in this game.

[ivysixer2000]

Wow Max

[ivysixer2000]

Trae who?!?!?!

[Murray_17]

Maxey is getting to rim (like there) at will but his slump from 3 is killing him

[Mik317]

HE IS HIM
