Game 42: Sixers @ Jazz - Wooder Ice vs. Jell-O

[Sixercise]

That actually was a fun end to the game - the Jazz are scrappy as all get....and really exposed our rather soft approach to the game. Thank goodness we have the free throw bros

Maxey for Clarkson?

If im trading Maxey, im trading him for someone we can upgrade Tucker or Tobias for. Im comfortable with Milton or Melton with Harden.

Jazz is used to close games. Look at how they play like a playoff team down the stretch. They’re a really good team to practice your game for down the stretch moments

Great shot by biid.

That 2 man game with James at the corner with that one legged shot by Biid is money

As do I. Milton is a clutch player, he's proven that over the years. He's not as explosive as Maxey, but we all saw what he did when both Harden and Maxey were shelved. If we could move Maxey and Harris for another big time player, you do it.

bad win lul

[youngcrev]

Hate giving away a huge win, like getting clutch play out of Harden and Embiid.

Fun sports night flipping between this and the Dougie P comeback

I hate this team

I came on here to type the same thing. That a-wipe will probably say we are whining, but I don’t care. Embiid’s window is fast closing.

Oh stop whining. His window isn't closing fast. You're a overreacting as usual.

And yet I’ve made less than 30 posts in the Sixers forum in the last couple of months. How many have you made, and how many have you mentioned hating the team? It’s only whining when you don’t do it. Yet you are the biggest whiner on this forum. Just too blind to see it.

It's ok... we'll talk when you're done whining.

Tough one, but glad we pulled it off. It think this was the first game with Harden-Embiid where Harden outplayed Jo. Harden's 4th quarter was perfect.
Our shots stopped falling and that's why it was a contest.
Shake was also a great spark of the bench.

Jazz has been doubling biid the entire game. Kessler has dropping on defense

Sixers run side PnR to make prevent Jazz from sending help to Biid, Kessler is slightly sagged. That was just a practice shot for Biid

[Jay555]

Just watched the game. Harden was huge in the 4th. Maxey was playing out of control and blew a ton of layups. Dude needs to settle down.

I’d trade Maxey while his value is still high for a star wing instantly, although it’s not possible.

[Bum Adebayo]

We won despite Maxey's turnstile defense in the clutch, oh well I'll take it, Embiid and Harden were amazing and that's the important thing, Seems like Harden is getting used to the team more and more.

[Bum Adebayo]

Oh and Embiid's game winner was amazing!

We need to think about how to use Maxey down the stretch. Right now, it looks more and more than he’s better off as a 6th man and a situational guy to use down the stretch

TRADE him at highest value before it’s too late (see: Thybulle, Matisse).

I wont be that much in a hurry to trade him.

It depends on whats available out there.

I don't think Doc knows better to not play him 35 mpg if he's on this roster. We would be much better suited with a wing started next to Harden/Melton. I want Pascal, but I'd even go for OG at this point.

[Lou_23]

Melton is the worst finisher in the league.

Men, play your game, dont try to do things that you cant do.

[Jailblazers7]

I knew the Maxey backlash was coming but it’s still a bummer. I mostly resent the idea that we finally have a talented, unproblematic homegrown guard that we will immediately chase out of town because he’s not a fit next to an aging James Harden (my least fav player before he came to Philly). I hate it.

Fact of the matter is that we have 2 stars who haven’t delivered the goods in the playoffs their entire careers who are also moody drama queens who have bad leadership qualities. I’m not going to pretend like that’s going to change by trading away our only future building block.

[Kobblehead]

The primary function of a G-sized player is to playmake and shoot, so I don't mind keeping Maxey right now. However, If he wants a max contract, he needs to go.
