Barely watched the game last night. Happy the Sixers won but fuck depression taking the joy out of everything again.
We Sixers fans should push the narrative of how VJ deserves a shot at All-Defensive team. Defense isn’t sexy as scoring points and while he’s had a few highlights and rookie mistakes, he’s been willing to matchup against the best perimeter players of the teams we’ve faced. Against the Clippers he was game defending Johnny Steroids on the low post. I don’t have stats but the eye test tells me he’s above average this year already, just need instruction on how to defend the pick and roll because he knows how to correctly rotate on defense.
Still funny to me how many people long for Harden as if he was going to bring this franchise a ring. He had more turnovers than field goals made in elimination games with us. Thats why we didnt max him
And now we have McCain & Edgecombe as a result because we didnt capitulate and give him a max just to keep losing in the 2nd round, or even the 1st round like the Clippers have since getting him.
VJ Maxey Grimes is plus 19 in 175 minutes
something to watch the rest of the year to see if that holds up.
PG looked like he was moving well and made some solid defensive plays, that’s really what I was looking to see.
Hopefully we get Embiid back Wednesday or Thursday. Honestly rather he play Wednesday.
Observations from last night:
1) Maxey is a #1 option but his nights are so much easier with Joel.
2) VJ is still a rookie and it shows in small things like fouling and giving and 1 opportunities. Still a great showing.
3) PG did a little of everything. He is still taking a lot of difficult shots, if they fall, great, but too often they do not.
4) Jared needs to get minutes with Embiid when Embiid is back. Embiid will manufacture open looks for Jared.
5) Edwards was bad shooting, but did everything else while he was out there and didn’t give up.
6) Drum has secured the back up 5/starting 5 when Embiid is out and it’s not really a discussion anymore.
Not a pleasant thought, but concerned Nurse is so worried about losing his job, that he doesn’t want to play McCain unless he looks good right away, or if they’re leading a lot. And thus continuing to play Maxey unsustainable number of minutes.
Maxey is simply not going to let this team not push the pace. And it’s how we are going to stay competitive if everyone keeps their legs at the end of the year.
You don’t see it so much unless you’re watching in person, but he is sprinting to the crowd to get the ball. He’s clapping at the refs to get the ball quicker.
He’s really become the conductor of the team and it’s fantastic to watch.
