We're on a back to back, why are the starters out there?

Edit. At last...

One day, Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, and the rest of the 76ers will play good basketball. During the *same* game.
2025-2026 Philadelphia 76ers:

Maxey/McCain/Lowry
Edgecombe/Grimes/Gordon
George/Oubre/Edwards
Watford/Barlow/Walker
Embiid/Drummond/Bona/Broome

That's exactly who Maxey reminds me of.


So quick. Scary thing is Maxey looks to be the better shooter


Ellis never shot the percentage from 3 that Maxey is putting up.

Plus, Maxey is a first ballot HOFer, Ellis isnt

Gotta say, I like Springer. He's got a future as a defensive minded guard that can get points.

Fire Doc, trade Embiid, Harden and Tobias. Free Paul Reed. Fire Doc!

Doc should really try melton instead of tucker in the starting lineup once Joel plays tomorrow

Bro, I know you're joking, but you're just setting it up for the trolls to come on.

If you're not joking, then I'm not really sure what to say, because we've heard this talk before, and the last two seasons he was the runner up for the MVP.

It's just such a tired take.

Springer should tag alongside Melton at every training practise, got a long way to go but at least he’s on the court.

That was one hell of a defensive effort by the Sixers for the most part and Maxey is officially an star folks

Thybulle/Melton together wreak havoc on D.

I love Embiid, but I don't think we're winning a championship with him as the best player.

It's about PG and wing play.

Tbh honest i would bench Tobias.

Playing with the bench also would allow him to do all his "go to the paint" stuff instead of taking 7 3's on bad %

I hate to say it, but we need a lot more Thybulle. Way too active on defense to leave on the bench, given our deficiencies.

I think Thybulle earned some more minutes. He just provides so much energy. Knocking down his threes is a plus.

Be hard to start Melton since he's shorter than Maxey longer term.

Great for this game, but hard for me to see him starting. Melton should get alot more minutes, so we can lessen minutes for Harden.
