Tyrese Maxey on being down 3-0: “It’s still a great challenge. You gotta go do it. Either you don’t play with any pride and you get swept on your home floor in the 2nd round of the playoffs or you play with some pride you win one game at a time”
Give this man some help lol dudes playing 45 mins a game
help like Jared McCain?
FO said 76ers had no room for him
76rs front office has lost their marbles
Can’t lose what you’ve never had
wont somebody think of the billionaires?!
I do like McCain, but his social media fanatics have massively over hyped him.
He’s a one-dimensional, undersized two-guard who cannot run an offense and cannot defend.
We’ve already seen a player like that in Seth Curry get exposed in the playoffs.
McCain + Maxey is an unplayable defensive setup and McCain + VJ has nobody to run the offense.
Against Boston he gets roasted by Pritchard or Scheierman. It’s even worse against NY where now they can’t hide Maxey on Hart.
He’s just a terrible fit in Philly and it was so much better for him to be traded somewhere where his weaknesses can be hidden and he can work on them in the background.
I guess it really depends if you’re treating him like a fourth option or an eighth option lol
Why is this being downvoted lol? McCain is a much better fit on OKC than he was in Philly, that’s how trades work.
Maybe? Much greater need at PG tho
How about that dude u waived for dunk master mcclung????
people talk about mccain like he’s some combination of prime jordan and a make a wish kid lol, how does such a mid player have the biggest fanbase in the league
Because he was leading the roty race before injuring himself, he has a great 3 point shot, he was traded for far far too cheap
And to yall no less
Hey we needed the help.
He had all of 8 starts and just 17 games with 20+ minutes. He hardly played enough for people to be hammering so hard on this unbelievable rookie narrative.
It was also one of the worst draft classes of all time.
Because they could use some mid talent right about now.
He took over the game last night giving the Thunder the win, Sixers probably could have used that.
maxey not even smiling anymore … look how nick nurse massacred my boy
Maxey was passive as hell tonight
He gotta take more than 12 shots man..
The beauty of a best of 7 series is that every step back toward an upset feels reasonable.
Home team wins game 4.
Team up 3-1 feels pressure to close it out and maybe has trouble doing so in game 5.
Home team wins game 6.
Game 7 is a lawless land where anything can happen.
Sixers are barely at home at MSG East
Fair point. But also, isn’t Philly further west than MSG?
That’s Embiid nickname for his home court. You’ll have to tell him that
Sure but if you go far enough east from MSG eventually you will go around the world and end up at philly
Thing is the Knicks have a lot of experience and donr deviate from their game. Mich tougher than Boston, 3-0 v 3-1 aside.
Boston doesn’t deviate from their game either - but their game is insanely streaky due to their style.
Yeah the 2024 NBA champs are pretty lacking experience wise
Offense should be running through maxey but embiid and George gotta get fed. Deport those 2 and build around maxey and edgecomb.
Down like 6-8 pts with 5 minutes left this team had the audacity to have Maxey pitch out a post up to PG that led to an immediate turnover. Maybe leave the ball in your best player’s hands!
Daryl Morey is squandering this young guy’s career. I get that having PG and Embiid do well vs Boston was great. But honestly, who gives a fuck. It’s such a short term approach. Maxey has no one else outside of VJ who will be able to grow and play with him in 2 years max. He has every right to leave the org after how shit leadership has ruined his potential by surrounding him with terrible assets
Haven’t they been to multiple conference semifinals in his career? That’s not wasting a guy’s career - 6 seasons in
Is it really a brag to say someone reached the “conference semifinals”? The first two times, he rode passenger with embiid taking the wheel. Now, Joel is very broken down and yet he tried to play like he did 4 years ago and it isn’t working and is hindering Tyrese’s performance. U can see the difference just by looking at game 2 vs 3
Not a big brag and yet there are a lot of teams that do a hell of a lot worse and aren’t even in the mix.
If you are in the playoffs with a reasonable shot at advancing more often than not, that might not be amazing, but I also wouldn’t call it a waste.
So many people live in this very binary world where anything less than the thing that almost nobody else does is success and everything else is failure or a waste.
Maxey is also like 25.
Unless he wants to be the second Embiid, a guy who won MVP and yet never got past the 2nd round
Exactly. The sixers have locked in Joel and PG (he can may be traded after a decent playoff performance) for a couple more years. I genuinely do not see this team having a better look down the line vs now. Maxey doesn’t deserve this and should look elsewhere
Didn’t he sign a max contract? Whats he going to look at?
Nurse hasn’t gotten enough heat on this.
They had I.Joe, barely played him. Had McCain, didn’t play him enough.
Even guys like Justin Edwards who might not be more than just bench depth guys, still aren’t getting enough time to develop.
Nurse hasn’t helped anyone on the team, except maybe Embiid (when healthy) reach their peak. You see great coaches like Spo and yes, even Mazulla getting the most they can out of their roster and Nurse hasn’t done that at all.
He needs to take more shots. He’s gassing himself out playing 40 mins a game just to pass to PG and Oubre
philadelphia should trade embiid to denver so we can see the most wack ass twin towers in NBA history
Bro saying that with a face that says otherwise
The body language doesn’t exactly exude confidence in his words
This dude dgaf
sixers never getting past the 2nd round and Knicks losing again in the ECF prob the best outcome for the haters at this point
We’re all laughing at Boston still regardless
He gone
OVERRATED BUM
