We don’t need 3 point shooting per se. We need a point guard to break down a defense In the half court when teams focus on double teaming Embiid. Maxey obviously can be that guard. He creates so much pressure on a defense

Yeah his potential was obvious since that covid game he scored 40 points. He should have been developed earlier since his skillset is unique in this team.

Legit pissed at Doc for not playing him all year despite how obvious we needed his skillset precisely for this moment of playoff basketball.

They need to win this game so they can use it to simply discover that and then move on without prolonging this series.

I wonder how Ben Simmons feels given that Maxey is making him look ridiculous.

Ben’s lack of aggressiveness offensively is disheartening to watch man. I see a 19 year old out there showing no fear. I don’t know what 25 does..

I really thought we would get more from Ben tonight, so far I was very wrong

When was the least time the Sixers had a lead? Was it last game before Jo got hurt?

If you continue to use Ben Simmons at point guard after this game instead of Maxey you start looking like a stupid coach.

Ben is being a pussy rn.

That’s why this team isn’t going anywhere, because one of the guys making all of the money doesn’t do ****.

Same feeling.
Let's hope Joel is going to be ready for game 7.

Oh wow, this early?

This is just rage talking but if Ben can’t even be a small ball 5 what good is he?

Fuuuuuck

Sorry I would bench Ben immediately for 1.5 mins
