Embiid looks tremendous in terms of the knee. Once his cardio gets back up, he should be ok. Which begs the question: why isn't his cardio up?

But that’s the thing: neither of those guys are franchise players. At least McCain fits his role perfectly.

Maxey fits his role perfectly too; he just hasn’t had a chance to play that role this season.

Couldn’t hit shots tonight

It's all part of the "plan."

Sixers jacked up 40 3s. McCain and George attempted 10 each. That’s good.

It’s just that Oubre, Lowry, Dowtin and Yabu combined for 3-22 shooting.

Yeah and Embiid shot like crap

McCain does look like the real deal, finally got lucky and really I don't want to trade unless its a great deal.

We have no chemistry right now, and we can see what picks mean with McCain.

Once again, McCain, Maxey, George, Yabu, Embiid is the lineup. Once Embiid doesn't look like hot garbage, we should be able to torch teams, including the Knicks.

He hasn't played ,I think we all knew what he would look like .

Why is Paul George still on minutes restrictions?

I asked if they were tanking facetiously a week ago, but now I'm legitimately starting to wonder. They're treating this season like it doesn't even matter at all.

The Embiid stuff is odd and I get it. But what's the deal with not playing your best player in OT the other night? And not bringing him back out again tonight? He's fully healed. What in the hell is going on with this organization?

Daryl Morey was supposed to be "the adult in the room" when he was hired, but the same clown show persists under new management.

Defensively it may not be fantastic, but Maxey and McCain playing off each other will generate a lot of points

What are you talking about? PG played 32 mins tonight. He stayed in even when it appeared like game was out of reach.

We can stagger Maxey-George with McCain-Biid.

Yeah man, and I think more than half to most of it are open.

Maxey/McCain can and will work if you're solid and versatile everywhere else on the floor.

Beat writers were saying Paul George didn't come back out.

I would rather McCain play into a 6th man role

MikRay · Post #199 » by **MikRay** » Wed Nov 13, 2024 3:08 am

This roster is an absolute joke bottom seven or eight and the NBA

Don't bother listening to Pompey; dude just admitted his only source to the team was Colangelo's burner phone which he didn't even know was Colangelo at the time so he was literally parroting some random twitter account as a "source."
