That one drove VJ had where he came in from the corner and squared to hit a 4-6 footer in the paint was so smooth. He looked like he was going up wild until all of a sudden he was in perfect shooting form

I hate how much I’d like the 76ers if they didn’t have Embiid tbh. Edgecombe being so good with that fan he got in the head was endearing as fuck.

Rooleet | Celtics

Yeah I was saying after the opening game how awesome the Maxey-VJ-McCain trio was, and how hard it’d be to hate them without Embiid. Luckily the Sixers made it slightly easier for me.

I was just annoyed by that other guy, I was saying he’s not a star in everyday life. Just a star in the nba. Kinda pointless comment tbh I’m boutta fall asleep

Sometimes teams really key in on him and makes it tough for him to get open. He struggles against elite wing defenders with length.

Nick Nurse is an overrated coach man. Every bucket Maxey makes he has to sweat for it. Plus he plays a ton of minutes too.

the paul george suspension was just cruel man

he gets shit on but hes still a difference maker and a starter on this team that has no depth

everybody is on something and only he gets dinged for TWENTY-FIVE games

This sixers roster is ass lol why’d I think they were good this year ?

SadisticSpeller | 76ers

Because when Embiid is playing we have the second highest net rating in the league, and when we don’t we have the third or fourth lowest.

I’m on full board of Maxey best East guard but man this was a lol

EarthWarping | NBA

34 shots lmao

SloshaPacana

5 | 3 hours ago

Not really the problem, not making them was

Without Embiid he has to take a lot of shots, that’s what he’s been doing all season but making way more

Throwawayforme3123 | Celtics

7 | 2 hours ago

Also think he just run out of gas, why the hell did he play 43 minutes tonight?

SloshaPacana

7 | 2 hours ago

That’s how much he plays without Embiid, they have to have him out there or their offense just has nothing

He was averaging like 41mins and he still leads the league in mins

BrotherSeamus | Thunder

2 | 2 hours ago

Sixers sold high on his backup (not that Nurse would have played him anyway)

ChickenLiverNuts | PHI

2 | 3 hours ago

hes only the best guard in the east when he gets to play off the big fella

otherwise its too much hero ball

SloshaPacana

-1 | 2 hours ago

29/6/4 without Embiid, granted the efficiency not exactly there 57% TS but considering context the team is ass offensively without either one

Dymatizeee | Knicks

SadisticSpeller | 76ers

2 | 2 hours ago

Honestly… I didn’t even think Sixers were scoring 80. Would like it if our FO, at any point in the last 10 years, did anything to retain or develop a real backup center instead of duck the tax.

Clintocracy | Celtics

4 | 2 hours ago

Drummond is in the game to rebound and got absolutely dominated. Embarrassing

SadisticSpeller | 76ers

1 | 2 hours ago

If he was our 3rd string it’d be fine, when he’s rested he can actually still grab some pretty nice rebounds. Instead he’s our backup who often starts.

_Juntao | Celtics

1 | 2 hours ago

Is bona not a good backup at least?

SadisticSpeller | 76ers

1 | an hour ago

I think he can be, in a couple years with development, yeah. I see him as a pretty solid defensive C who can slam some lobs. Currently? No he’s kinda ass. Which is mostly fault of FO. We have two 3rd strings who often have to start for our actual #1.
