Sixers V Magic 12/4 ..go for 3?

[Mik317]

We have not won a challenge all year

There is a conspiracy going on

[Negrodamus]

And also because Maxey cant carry our offense

McCain can and should though.

He’s better but he can’t do it the entire game.

Not with that attitude.

He’s better than we all expected but he’s not that good. Come on.

... he's currently doing it while Maxey awakens from his late afternoon nap.

We have to show them that we’re “trying”.

They had an all non shooting lineup to end first. Maxey with Bona/KJ/Caleb and Ricky. Magic were playing Suggs and a double big lineup. Spacing was terrible.

Brought in 2 guards Jared and Jackson, Yabu, Oubre (who has been hitting) with KJ....4 guys that have hit 3s in the game.

The coach is an idiot... That first lineup should never happen. Should at least be Oubre out there. Don't think they even once had 3 guards... Unless you count Caleb which is a bit of a joke.

Whenever the spacing has been good, offense has worked

[ivysixer2000]

Can't believe we are tied, great comeback but can we maintain this hustle through the second half....is the question

[Arsenal]

Maxey is being doubled and hounded nonstop. Magic are content taking it out of his hands and playing 3 vs 4 against everyone else. That’s why we need McCain out there with him. No one else can playmake well enough.

Saw that first possession in the second half that ended up with him jacking up a highly contested deep 3?

There’s no mismatch in a very good defensive team that he can take advantage with

[76ciology]

Driving to the heart of the defense. 4 lengthy magic players trying to close all passing lanes. Turn-over.

[76ciology]

The Magic’s defensive strategy is all about stopping the three-point shot. They’re giving us driving lanes to the basket but immediately collapsing with four defenders, cutting off any passing options. Even if you have shooters ready, their defense makes it tough to get a clean pass out—it’s likely getting tipped or stolen.

The best way to counter this? Pull up for a mid-range jumper before the defense fully closes in. It’s a smart shot to take when the paint gets crowded, and it avoids forcing risky passes or tough finishes at the rim.

[Negrodamus]

Hope this McCain guy can figure out how to carry a team.

He used the attention to get Yabu a wide open 3 that he didn't take and he basically got a grenade again... You know the rest of us can see too right

[76ciology]

Hope this McCain guy can figure out how to carry a team.

He’s more capable than Maxey. Because he’s a three level scorer. He has the mid range game that Maxey doesnt have. And he seems to have better basketball IQ and playmaking skills. But man.. that’s a heavy load to carry for a rookie

He didn’t create enough offensive gravity to give Yabu the space and time he needed to get off a clean shot with his slow release. Paul George, on the other hand, is much better at drawing defenders and creating those kinds of opportunities for his teammates.

He was wide wide open. I think the magic was surprised that he didn't take it

Ever since the famous "You a b****" Moment. I still want a statue of Oubre with 3 refs around him in front of the entrance used by the refs for our home games.

[eyeatoma]

McCain really needs to be giving the keys, he's actually doing it better than Maxey. He needs to be our PG.

[Iverson Armband]

McCain is one of the most impressive Sixers players I’ve seen in a long time.

[Jailblazers7]

I think Maxey’s big flaw is the he doesn’t understand how to create angles. I feel like he’s struggling to create advantageous driving/passing angles. Sometimes he’s a good enough shot maker to overcome it.
