Sixers Offseason Thread Part 5

[SixthStreet]

Of anything from that game, I'm most pleased with his 17 3PAs. Whining about 3PAs is like Eagles fans whining about passing the ball too much. 3PAs matter and Maxey's willingness to bomb them without conscious to me raises his ceiling. He should play with the attitude that he's going to shoot every good look he has. Out of those 17 maybe 3 were ill advised given the short-handed squad we were fielding and who he would be ceding attempts to.

Yeah, Maxey has to play a Dame Lillard kind of game to get to his max ceiling.

That was easily the best shot Embiid had at making a serious playoff run. Harden was the perfect guy to pair with Embiid and Maxey, just a damn shame some moves weren't made then to really improve the rest of the roster.

The Biid /Harden dynamic was weird tho.

I remember the fist few games looked awesome just like those higlights but down the road they ended up playing dumb ISO ball and taking turns on offense more often than not.

We won without our 2 key starters. No one else on the team was going to step up. He did

If he shoots under 30% from 3 for the rest of the season you have something to talk about

What’s the point of discussing anything until after the season then. Right now, he doesn’t look like a guy who can carry a team. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a good player or won’t be capable in the future.

Strong suggestion for yourself, especially considering the 2 highest paid Max players on the team have contributed as much as you and I have.... Meaning there's not a team to carry. But, you say whatever his stats were and it won't change the very FACT that he did just indeed carry this team to an impressive win vs a team they shouldn't have been able to beat on the road.

If you want to throw a party for inefficient volume scoring that led to a narrow overtime win over the 1-3 Pacers, I guess that’s your prerogative. Color me unimpressed for now.

So when are you going to follow your own advice? Rather than pretending to understand efficiency for a player on a team where all the firepower is watching from the sideline and his coach is struggling; and rather than criticizing a narrow win on the road vs a healthy team that he willed to a victory with Oubre and Drummond as his sidekicks. Durant would struggle on this team

When you stop pretending that a guy who can’t beat the lowly Pistons at home is a 1A. Again, because you can’t seem to understand it, this is NOT saying he isn’t a very good player. But you’re looking more silly by the game with this.

You look like the gaslighter with an agenda against your own team moving the goal post. Now it's about wins and losses all of a sudden when you go from trying to get the last ignorant word saying "Let's see after the season" while getting off ignorant statements in the same post... Then immediately continuing.

1A never came from me, I didn't care about that.... And you're not capable of changing the narrative. You were trashing Maxey then he turned it around same game.... You start weighing averages as if you're smarter than everyone's eyes. Even still against a healthy Pistons, he played well which was your initial beef.... Now it's about wins and losses on an injured team? When you talk about George and Joel with context, is when I'm take your seriously on this matter, because you can't be serious

I think you might have some issues you need to work out. Have a great night.

Again follow your own advice, and while you're at it... Stop trying to change the narrative again to run from your own clearly ignorant statements

Yeah, Maxey has to play a Dame Lillard kind of game to get to his max ceiling.

I think he needs to be a better threat in the mid range.

He's just not efficient enough off the dribble in the mid-range or from 3. As a young offensive player that should be his main focus rather than passing as he's efficient enough there and can get to spots to make his more simplistic passes. As a young player efficiency off the bounce shooting should improve and his ability to get quality looks for himself has rapidly improved. That's how he gets to be the one on one player like a Dame

That was easily the best shot Embiid had at making a serious playoff run. Harden was the perfect guy to pair with Embiid and Maxey, just a damn shame some moves weren't made then to really improve the rest of the roster.

The Biid /Harden dynamic was weird tho.

I remember the fist few games looked awesome just like those higlights but down the road they ended up playing dumb ISO ball and taking turns on offense more often than not.

Boston, Miami and Brooklyn showed that the best way to stop their unstoppable pick and roll was just to switch everything... So they regressed to iso ball with 0 movement

Sometimes, this thread confuses me with the thread about the Sixers in general this season.

I might as well lock it.
