Game 9: Pacers @ Sixers 11/12 @ 6 pm ET Win This One For Kelly Thread

I disagree. His handles are tight though

You don’t think it’s top 5? Lillard/Curry/Luka/Paul

Maxey can def be in the convo after that I like that it’s used for effectiveness rather than just for flash.

Kyrie Curry Paul Luka Morant Poole KD off top my head. You’re not going to get top 5 accolades for having tight handles lol. You have to actually be able to iso and make people look silly guarding you. Using your speed to blow past ppl and stepbacks to create space isn’t exactly high ball handling skills.

But personally I don’t care for flash if you turn the
ball over. Maxey has plenty of iso scoring moves

KD does not have a top handle at all not even top 10.

Check his playoff stuff his biggest weakness was getting stripped

Irving I missed but Maxey certainly has an elite one that’s not a question.

Morant? Lol he was my fav prospect that year but he’s pretty much the biggest game violater today. He can’t properly dribble at all, not that he can’t, dude hard carries all the time.

Max is actually starting to look good on D

[DCasey91]

Guys slow it down please lol.

[Negrodamus]

Damn, I wonder if we need Oubre’s scoring lol. Jesus.

[Murray_17]

I wonder if the Pacers would trade Mathurin eventually. Guy just look like a volume scorer to me

Our defense is bad. Looks like we keep playing 4v5 on defense.

[76ciology]

F it. Tobi off rhythm this game.

[76ciology]

Jo is tired

[76ciology]

Maxey is better than Haliburton?

[ivysixer2000]

Damn, I wonder if we need Oubre’s scoring lol. Jesus.

Seems like we looking too hard to score, Kelly will be missed badly. Can't expect Jojo and Max to do this every night.

Our defense is bad. Looks like we keep playing 4v5 on defense.

There is a reason they have the best offense on the league.

They start the possession early or go 5 spread on the 3 point line and then rotate the ball for the open 3 or attack the paint once Joel is forced out.

We didn't have this issue with the Celtics because they shot like **** against us, the Pacers are 45% from 3 right now

[76ciology]

Batum > Harden

[76ciology]

Tsunami Melton

[Embiid P]

Melton's on a heater it seems.

[Murray_17]

Law of averages finally hit Melton it seems

Lol Maxey has enough to make you hesitate so he will blow past you and if he can’t he has the step back as a counter.

KD will definitely embarrass you in iso with a crossover. He demands doubles so of course when he picks the ball up he’s prone to turnovers.

Ja Morant does what everybody in the league does. Everyone who is considered a top dribbler carries lol.

Even if you remove KD and Ja, I’d still rank Kyrie Irving CP3 Harden Luka and even Jordan Poole ahead. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion tho. Doubt you’ll find anyone with Maxey in theres.

Some ppl don’t have the speed so they need ball handling, some have elite speed so there’s no reason to do all that dribbling.

I’m very happy and glad that we actually have a coach allowing a young player to grow through his weaknesses (pnr passing/playmaking).

Doc would never.

It’s the reg season ffs development is key.

Nurse is a godsend as he’s one of the best developers of young talent in the league.

Stop. Of course Doc would put the ball in the hands of Maxey. It's exactly what he did in the games Harden was out.

We don't need to make **** up to illustrate the stark contrast between how good Nurse is and how mid Doc was. Not even sure why anyone would be bringing him up still.

Doc had an extremely tight leash with young players especially. Look at how much Embiid is deferring to Maxey now

Didn’t we watch last season when Maxey was unsure when Harden/Embiid as the trio trying to find the right balance.

That is 100% on the coach. Of course Maxey is going to get a heap of the ball when Harden is out that’s not what I’m talking about.

The plays and sets being organised are much more fluid.

You’re wrong. Of course I would illustrate the difference between the two coaches because the other one actually does a good job of developing youngsters his track record is sound.

Maybe in general, but certainly not with Maxey. That's silly to even claim.

Maxey has made another crazy leap because he works his ass off to make crazy leaps every year.

But minus Harden, who the hell do you think Doc would have put the ball in the hands of? Do you not remember what Maxey did in the games Harden missed last year?

These embiid only line ups need to get canned
