Hopefully a healthy McCain who plays like he did last year pre-injury can help with that.
This is why the “Nurse needs to rest Maxey more”” convo is tricky when 7/9 of our games have legitimately came down to the last minute. Just hoping Joel and Jared playing better as the season progresses (and if PG ever returns) can ease Tyrese
Fucking rough … also have 100M on the bench doesn’t help .. let McCain get healthy and take some work load off Maxey .. I don’t think any team in the NBA can compete for 4Q without two max contracts playing … also FTC ..
Everyone is saying a healthy McCain will alleviate this, but after tonight, it feels like this is by design from Nurse. Just give Maxey the and let him cook. Which I hate.
Maxey really stepped up his playmaking. Once he comes out the only other possible playmaker (on non-Embid games) might be Watford. Grimes handle is shaky and Edgecombe’s passing isn’t the best. McCain may fix this when he gets better but who knows when that will be
lol he’s spent 64 minutes off the court in 8 games that’s crazy
Yes but to really reach embiid levels we need to up that difference by about 30 in each direction
Although he is playing like a top 5 player in the league right now so is this just inevitable?
It’s wild how our offense completely stalls without Maxey. We desperately need McCain healthy to run the second unit. Do you think Watford could develop into a reliable backup ball handler?
