And shutting up the frothing at the mouth crowd was super sweet.

Maxey is only 23 and already a star. This was always going to be a transition year for the Sixers.
Get Embiid healthy. Replace Tobias with PG or Derozan. Then you are really cooking.

We should straight up build the team around him moving forward. He’s that caliber of talent offensively.

It’s the 15 rebounds, 5 blocks, and deferring to Maxey offensively (at the end of the 4th and into OT, hence preventing his soul crushing turnovers) that was impressive. The passing is gravy, and honestly I’d like him to score less.
A 15-15-10-5 Jo is a much better Jo than a 32-7-2-1 Jo. And also far easier to win with.

With how bad they've been without Embiid on the floor, Nurse has to strongly consider Bamba unless there's something behind the scenes we're not aware of.
I don't think there's anything behind the scenes with Bamba. His mistakes are visible to everyone. So much so that people don't seem to bother looking at his stats. How do you mitigate things when you fully expect him to miss an assignment every 5th possession and it leads to a wide open layup or jump shot? Or to have unnecessary fouls? Those things are easy to see and are probably why he doesn't play. The real question is whether his game (i.e. the decent stats despite bad eye test) translates to the playoffs or not. I don't know how you answer that question without playing him in the playoffs, but the coaches probably have some method that led to Paul Reed getting the minutes instead of Bamba.

Well Reed is definitely not working, time to try something else. Small ball, Bamba, or me......doesn't matter, Reed has been useless.

4 eye blow doll seems like he's sticking to his rotation. Unfortunately

Trading Embiid? Not signing/trading for an older star (i.e. PG13)? Increasing Maxey's usage?
