Maxey has a lot of growing to do when it comes to running point. He's playing well though so be it.

Embiid with the sauce.

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

He is a combo guard.

Holes on their man to man defense. And they dont know how to play team defense because they play man to man and switch the entire season.

Thats also why Jaylen helped on Biid last game



I think they know, they're putting zero pressure on the ball.

Embiid is getting to the top of the key with space, they're missing rotations, fouling on unnecessary close-ups and.

It's just wow, but whatever, i take it

It’s unnerving isn’t it. Same feelings. So much on the line after watching every game all year and finally getting to this point

On the other hand if you loose game 5 of the playoffs entering +16 in the fourth quarter, you deserve to be eliminated.
But I'm with you I'm not comfortable too.

The Celtics going to Pritchard should really open things up for Maxey.

Except for that one that didn't quite go our... nevermind. I don't wanna talk about it.
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

I like how he competes on D and is always ready to run in transition. Between Him, Maxey, and Melton it's nice to see the hustle in transition.

Take care of the ball and rebound. Do that and they should close this out.

The ref-Marcus Smart relationship feels like actual corruption
