When Maxey, Harden and Tobi for that matter are aggressively attacking closeouts and converting, the offense goes to a new level. Maxey sometimes turns that down too much.

He's been really assertive for sure

Have to say it again. Melton was a HUGE pickup this season!

Nice to see Embiid giving assists when Harden is out.

I was just about to say that this was Turners best game vs Jo ever.

Hopefully no more Embiid required here.

Harrell looked miserable on the bench

He's free to give back money in a buyout and go on his way.

Best basketball stretch played by sixers in N years.
N is a large number

Let's get Springer and McDaniels in there.

Maxey with 7 assists. Just an update on that stat.

My only concern is that they're on fire a month too early. Otherwise impressive stretch

Post all star is when you want it to start clicking.

I just wish that there was one more good 4 or 5-day stretch where Joel could get some rest. He can't miss any more games if he wants to win the MVP. This is precisely why I wish he wouldn't have even gone for it this year. Similar situation to last season and he didn't even win it. He got 1 good rest after the all star break. Probably won't get another until after regular season.

It's not just the games against quality opponents that makes this March and April stretch ridiculous by the league schedule makers for Philly. It's the back to backs, road games, and lack of rest in between that makes it ridiculous. I don't think they have another stretch of two days in between games even

That's why it's so important that he finally wins MVP this season, so that next year he will care less about it.

Joel played 68 games last year and got votes. If he finishes out this year... He'll have 69.
