I am torn, would it be a good game to go for the over on Maxey?
Or do I lean into the "off night in the shead" and take the under?

Wouldn't be surprised if we still win though, they are missing 2 massive players. But we are bad....so who knows :lol:

The number I am seeing for Maxey is 29.5, which I think he can go over myself, I'm locking in

Have both Embiid and PG been officially ruled out for tonight?

I assume Embiid, but don't really know what PG's status is these days.

I am very interested to see what our defensive PGS can do against Maxey. Will be watching just for this!
If Davion can slow him down, other teams may look for a deal for him at the deadline and heading into the playoffs.

They aren't mutually exclusive, we are missing players and we are bad. This isn't a difficult concept.

There's a reason why most of the NBA is laughing at whatever the hell is happening here. It's just the Homers who are in denial about it.


There are plenty of links shared when reporters were discussing the Raptors during their Team Previews. A capped out team that's locked into their core but expected to be a bottom 5ish team lol.

Expecting a bounce back game from Scottie without Embiid and PG. If he has another bad game, the Scottie thread(s) will be working OT tonight.

It would be fitting if Darko used Box and 1 defense on Maxey and Nurse had to figure out a way out of it.

Every single NBA team is capped out.

We are also not locked in at all. If we decided tomorrow to completely blow it up we could trade every player on our roster with ease.

Is it a fake win for the 76ers if they win when we don't have IQ, RJ, Bruce, and Kelly?

Embiid is an MVP, George is a multiple year all star, are any of the Raptor that are out MVP's or all stars?

Y'all are gonna exhaust yourself worrying about this.

IQ and RJ (and to a lesser extent, so is Olynyk for bench scoring) are just as important to our offense as Joel / PG is to theirs. At least PHI has Maxey to score 30+.

No Embiid and PG? This is a must win.
