It honestly shocks me how certain players are cowards and won't take charges especially in the playoffs.

That slob couldn't even do it on our title team.

If Fred had this EXACT SAME GAME as Maxey is playing right now there would be 100s of posts trashing him.

What's Maxey on floaters this game? I got 0 for 4.

He's got 21 points on 18 shots. Fred would be called selfish for chucking in the exact same scenario. Except Fred would also have like 6 to 8 assists, a handful of rebounds and some stocks.

Fred would slow the Sixers down.

And if Harden leaves Philly will need another guard. Not just leave Maxey by himself

That's because he isn't getting to the FT line.

He's the most efficient player in the game right now.

47% from the field. 42% from the 3 and 100% from the FT line.

You played yourself.

Yeah when Maxey outruns everyone on those coast to coast layups it's just like Fred would do.

Yeah I think it’s clearly evident for those who are watching the game just how easy Maxey’s shots have been tonight. Actually surprised he’s shooting below 50%. Lots of layups and wide open threes. I like how he’s been more active on the glass and on defense tonight though. Usually he doesn’t contribute much in those areas. Nice bonus for him to grab some rebounds and disrupt the passing lanes.

It's not a coast to coast layup when you have a clear path to the basket because of a perimeter turnover lol. Coast to coast is used when there is actually players between the ball handler and the basket.
