Very encouraged by this first quarter. Role players are making plays and Maxey’s impacting the game even when his shot isn’t falling.

Max seems to have increased his handle and ability to break down people off the dribble

Pretty impressed with Yabu's  offensive rebounding thus far

I just don't get it
I think Giannis is a prideful guy & doesn’t think he should be reduced to a screen setter.

Remember when some on this board wanted Morey to trade Maxey for Lillard? I remember.

No matter how hard Nurse tries, KJ is not an NBA player.
He's just a walking trade exception, you don't need to play him

I really thought this would be the year he started getting calls. He needs to start flopping like Lillard.

Embiid/George will miss 20+ games each.  Maxey will play 38+ MPG to stay afloat, which will lead to hi getting dinged up.Big 3 will play 30-40 games together.  Book it.
Over/under Maxey requesting a trade is 2 years.

Our team will make a report on how refs called this game, the league will counter with their investigation on Jojo.

Then that means he is not good enough because he is scared of being exposed that he can’t lead a team

embiid is always getting fouled in my eyes. players before him were called crafty for selling or forcing calls
