Would yall consider Embiid and Maxey to be a pure 1A 1B situation? Their both superstars who can drop 30 on any night like a modern day Kobe and Shaq

ktm5141 | 76ers

68 | 2 days ago

Embiid has been the best player on the Sixers for a month now. Not hating on Maxey, but Embiid has been insane in January

Fire_Demon-215

16 | 2 days ago

Yea it’s his team now which is crazy to say after the past year glad he’s back

1mYourHuckleberry93 | Raptors

11 | 2 days ago

Embiids team in the half court, Maxeys team on the break.

Ordinary-Till-2497

29 | 2 days ago

Embiid is in a different solar system than Maxey, which is crazy to say given how good he’s been

chilbongi

9 | 2 days ago

Realistically he was the only 1 challenging jokic as the best player in the league for the past 5 to 6 years. Respect to SGA but it was never in doubt who the best player was in the league even when he wom MVP.

OkDonut4987 | Magic

14 | 2 days ago

I would like to include Giannis there

annoyinconquerer | 76ers

8 | 2 days ago

Yeah Embiid is basically unguardable without help. That’s a diff level

itsnotyellowfever | MEM

21 | 2 days ago

Love that the 76ers pivoted to Maxey being the focal point with whatever Embiid gave them being icing on the cake but at this point Embiid’s at least 90% back to MVP form and that form peaks higher than damn near any player in the league

thefreeman419 | 76ers

20 | 2 days ago

Also it seems like Maxey is finally feeling the impacts of the insane usage from the first half of the season, he needs the all star break badly

itsnotyellowfever | MEM

8 | 2 days ago

Yeah he was playing prime Thibs minutes nightly with ‘01 Iverson ball handling responsibilities while Embiid was in and out of the lineup that’s probably the biggest blessing of Embiid returning to MVP form

annoyinconquerer | 76ers

8 | 2 days ago

Without DPOY level defense Joel isn’t anywhere beyond 70%

Kennyc1234 | Wizards

7 | 2 days ago

At this current moment yes

RoscoeSantangelo | 76ers

6 | 2 days ago

Absolutely. You have to game plan for either being the one to go off any night and hope that it’s not both going off

DemarcusLovin | NBA

1 | 2 days ago

like a modern day Kobe and Shaq

I mean, that’s always been the hope. But Joel has just never been able to stay healthy for playoff run

Master-Extreme5244

1 | 2 days ago

Nah because Embiids clearly a lot better than Maxey. Maxeys just the 2nd option.

Zeruma_ | 76ers

I was told Embiid would never score 20 again.

Bill simmons can suck my left one

Local_Recording_2654 | 76ers

10 | 2 days ago

He better suck the right one too

Kennyc1234 | Wizards

7 | 2 days ago

He scored 20 so nice that he scored it twice

No-Equipment-20 | Lakers

I think everyone outside Celtics fans can agree Bill Simmons is a tool

sloBrodanChillosevic | Supersonics

7 | 2 days ago

Strictly a narratives guy now. He does not watch any non-Celtics team enough to know anything. He knows how to search lineup +/- numbers, that’s about as far as he goes with analysis these days.

No-Equipment-20 | Lakers

1 | 2 days ago

Bruh +/- might be my biggest pet peeve in NBA discourse 😭

sloBrodanChillosevic | Supersonics

1 | 2 days ago

I’m pretty sure I meant net rating but it doesn’t really change the point that he just looks up one particular stat across different lineups and that’s it

xychosis | 76ers

Sam Vecenie as well, that fucking twat

SBORBS | MIA

29 | 2 days ago

It’s so irritating watching Tyrese get run into the ground when Jared’s playing excellent basketball and pairs really well with Joel. Jared hits 4 straight 3s and then isn’t used in every single action to break the defence. Nurse just cannot coach on the fly whatsoever. Jared should be playing 20+ mpg and Tyrese needs to be given a couple games off and brought down to 33 mpg. Team is also awful at getting Joel the ball in the 3rd quarter.

Honestly believe that Nurse could have the 96 Bulls starting 5 on the bench and he’d barely go to them.

lmpressionante | 76ers

26 | 2 days ago

To be fair, up until like two games ago McCain had been playing like hot ass

SBORBS | MIA

17 | 2 days ago

Cos he only played 5 min stretches before being pulled, without any plays run for him, and he’s coming back off a bad knee injury. Nurse doesn’t seem to realise that this team has no chance without being able to rely on the extended bench in certain matchups.

NbaAllDAYger | Mavericks

Coaching malpractice on the highest level from the Pel tonight.

Let me get this straight you have Trey and Zion on the floor but you let Bey either shoot or be the decision maker on nearly every pssession in the last 7-8min of the 4th qtr ?

For people who didnt watch, Bey had a good game but that was off the 76ers blitzing Zion and Trey,
the Pels made an amazing run to cut the lead to 2 with Jose and Zion busting through the blitzes and scoring

Then the coach benches Zion and Bey takes control over the game. Zion literally cant be stopped and the Pels went away from him, amazing stuff from the Pels.

The moment Zion leaves people will start to see his value…

mth504 | Pelicans

10 | 2 days ago

Yep, Zion was at the scorer’s table with 2:30 left, didn’t get in till the Sixers hit 3 clutch 3’s in a row and it was already over. We called a timeout down 10 with 20 seconds left lmao.

NbaAllDAYger | Mavericks

4 | 2 days ago

Calling the timeout after blowing the game had me fuming and im not even a Pels fan.
Just pure bs from the coach.

1mYourHuckleberry93 | Raptors

3 | 2 days ago

If the Pels owners actually cared about the team he’ll be gone after this season for sure

fph00 | Pelicans

I think the benching was a minute restriction. It’s the second game of a b2b and Zion played 30 minutes, I bet Borrego had instructions not to leave him in a second more than this.

Mo_damo | Pelicans

It’s been six tears. Maybe minutes restrictions aren’t the solution

Paralystic | Timberwolves

I didn’t watch this game, but looking and the box score and reading this comment is giving me whiplash. Your mad the guy with 34 on ¹²⁄₁₉ got the shots vs the combined 30 on 10-27 shooting? And they were the unstoppable ones? Zion literally can’t be stopped with his… 2 buckets?

NbaAllDAYger | Mavericks

You are a great example of why people should watch the games instead of the box score.

Paralystic | Timberwolves

1 | 19 hours ago

I try to watch every game I can, but I already pay upwards of $400 a year and still have a third of the games unavailable. I have peacock league pass Amazon espn and yet still multiple games a night are blocked out. Don’t get mad at me

Our center rotation is a rookie and two sophomores.

SlickVanExel | Hornets

12 | 2 days ago

Saddiq Bey was by far the Pelicans best player tonight. There are so many contenders that could use a scoring wing like that.

Someone should tell the Pelicans they don’t own their pick this year 😭

1mYourHuckleberry93 | Raptors

4 | 2 days ago

Nick Nurse is still playing his players into the ground eh? How does Joel play 40 minutes against a team with a rookie C starting? He was amazing but wtf, you really want to play this dude 40 mins?

Nantee_69

damn Zion only took 6 FG attempts? maybe the result of 25 straight games.. lol..

Dejounte Murray

I wonder if any team would take a buy low flyer on him. Obviously expensive contract and salary, but you maybe able to get assets for taking him on, and who knows can still be a productive pg for a team in need
