they have surrounded Maxey with shooters or rather guys who will at least take the shots...rather than unwilling dudes like Lowry, Drummond, ect.

Which opens the floor a bit for him.

but lol why did it take until now to figure that out.

If Maxey gets us in the playoffs without Embiid and half of Paul George it'll be an impressive accomplishment. Holy crap has he gotten better.

Legit questioning if I want to introduce my 3 year old son to the Sixers. Aren’t we supposed to shield them from our past mistakes so that they do better?
always a jump shot away.

I feel so Bi-polar right now. These last few games especially. We have really dialed it up on defense. Chicago couldn't get anything against us in the 4th quarter. Neither could Cleveland last night. It's encouraging to see the fight that we have, but again...This team is bi-polar and there's no way we sustain it as is.

The team does need to make a decision at some point on what they want out of the season. The all star break is looming and we have a six game home stand coming up. It's not too late to tank and it's not too late to make a playoff push.

Sixers is a memecoin. It’s gonna trap us again. Stay away. Bad for mental health.

The bright side of it is he might learn some medical terms and end up being a successful orthopedic.

This team is run by the sports betting underground world.

He'll also experience anger, rage, confusion, a feeling of hopelessness, and the agony of defeat. Kid just needs to be a Celtics fan.

So what's working is having fearless shooters around Maxey. Jalen Smith for Chicago once again caught my eye. He hit three from deep for them. He's not being used enough in Chicago and I would love to trade for him. Put him out there and let him play center. I think he's a very good rebounder as well. I think if we were to make a move at the deadline, it would be for a big who can stretch the floor and grab rebounds for us. Nurse needs to build off of what's working for us and keep doing it. Maybe we found something? This team has been just trying to spam threes all season, but lately we've started to look more like an actual team. I still say tank is the best option, but we've won two in a row and if we win a third they'll have my attention again.

True, but Coby White seems to own us and they were missing him big time tonight. Chicago looks like a different team when he's playing. They still suck like us, but when they have White they have nights where they can beat anyone. Doesn't matter, we won and now I'm all confused.

At the start of the game Stacey King said something to the effect of the 76ers are looking for the play in spot and having Embiid coming back before the end of the season. I laughed and said these damn announcers for the other team no nothing. Now am thinking is he more dialed in than anyone else?
You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.

Maxey has been playing like an alpha in the last two games, and George stepped up like one in the last game. If at least one of them can consistently maintain that level, we’re definitely making the playoffs.
