Embiid taking 2 shots in the 4th with one of them being a last second grenade is hilariously awful from Maxey and Nurse.
4 games against two teams very close to us in the standings. 1-3 is a brutal result. I’m not a ‘fire the coach’ guy, but if a fully healthy Sixers squad continues to underachieve, he’s going to be on the chopping block.
Decided to sit down and relax for a nice victory. Saw us pulling away, all good. Then a nice shit of the bed right at the end.
If we aren’t going to use McCain seriously (and his play says we shouldn’t be), then we have to get a backup primary ball handler. Maxey is showing a lot of signs of fatigue. His minutes need to go down, otherwise you risk injury.
This team is still good and learning to play with each other still, so will get better in the second half of the season. But we sorely need a backup PG.
Nick Nurse should’ve never challenged that obvious foul which cost us our timeout and late game execution. Another coaching loss in the books, we are 10-11 at home for the season!
Sixers didnt wanna be outdone by the eagles
They showed they can also lose a close game to a team that’s not at full strength as well
A truly Philly team indeed 💘 🙏
Another frustrating game. Could only watch the fourth quarter. We give up layups and open 3s and have to make tough shots. Didn’t help that Maxey and Grimes missed some layups.
How did Joel look earlier? He looked quit poor tbh at the end.
4-9 against direct competition now. That’s bad.
I really hate National games, we always fold in them. As much as I love Maxey he has been absolutely dogshit in these last two games, I just don’t understand what is going on with this team right now.
Who tf is this Jaylon Tyson kid
Rewatching that final possession, VJ is wide open and Maxey looks him off. I don’t know what Maxey’s problem is but those stupid hero ball plays he does like not dumping off the breakaway early in the game to Walker is a terrible look for a leader of this team. Fucking ridiculous trying to score tough shots when others have cleaner looks
Would you do a Maxey for Giannis trade?
Have to remember to just ignore this sub after losses lol. But Nick Nurse has no idea what to do late in games. People blame Maxey for hero ball, but if it ain’t him, it’s gonna be somebody else doing nothing with the ball. There’s no movement, there’s no action, nothing. Embiid, who had 30 pts entering the 4th, stood in the corner and did nothing for one possession. No player can score off this iso offense late, except Maxey or Embiid, and they have before. The one time they actually ran a pick and roll with Embiid, Maxey hits the open floater to tie. Then PG gets beat on the Cavs inbound, and Embiid has to help him out, Tyson makes an excellent wrap around pass… game over.
At least Toronto lost too.
I can see Macey dying inside live on TV. It hurts me
the frustration I feel about maxey is unprecedented. he was always our golden child and I understand he still outdone what we expected from him but this game was so fucking winnable
Cavs own us. End of story.
This is a great thing because it forces Daryl to make a move at the deadline

We need VJ to be more involved in the offense. Maxey can’t do everything the guy is playing 40 mins a night and looks gassed. Remember the first basket of the game? A VJ and Embiid action with VJ getting a decent pull up jumper. We need more drawn up plays like that. Especially in the lineups when Maxey isn’t in the game
Best of luck the rest of the season. Easily my favorite nba fanbase outside of Cleveland. The Maxey-garland tandem votes in ‘23 were awesome. I’m voting for Maxey but he doesn’t need my help! Enjoy that backcourt.
Different year, same average team. Can’t shoot and don’t want score in the paint…doomed to fail!
Saw that coming
I’m afraid all this MVP and new role as leader is getting to Maxey… he seems off.
Put your smile on kid, go out there and grind and ball like you always do- that’s why we want you as the leader.. same shit happened to Joel. “To be the leader you can’t troll or smile or laugh”.
Pressure breaks but it can also forge diamonds. I have more faith in him figuring it out than I do in this team as a whole.
Some very tough decisions will have to be made by trade deadline. I do not think we will be standing Pat- it is going to go buy or sell hard with Morey the gunslinger as our GM.
I think we should be patient with Broome I think he could play well with an athletic big in Bona
Where were you for Johni Broome 50 ball?
Love that Paul George take late. What a player
Definitely not beating the Cavs in a 4 game series. This team cant match their intensity. And what the hell is up with Maxey’s shot selection lately?
at least johni fuckin broome dropped a 50 burger lmao
Frustrating ass team man. Can we please get the damn win or cancel all home games for the rest of the year
