  3. Just win and get back on track the next game and we are good. This was such a fluke game where we missed 2 starters and our 6th man while Maxey played like he’s allergic to shooting the ball. This won’t happen again.

  4. I have a grand idea. What if there was a guy the Sixers could hire that could manage the players. Like if there’s a particular spot in a game where they struggle, say like the whole 3Q. He could like scheme or even coach something so it doesn’t happen every single game.

    Just imagine what he could do for a team.

  5. that loss was 100% on maxey

    didnt hit a fucking shot, didnt make a fucking pass, didnt want to guard anybody

    instead he did turn the ball over, did airball everything, did mope around

    bro just fucked around the whole game lol

  6. Damn, I can’t believe I put off the last of my Christmas shopping to watch this. Oh well, get healthy and on to the next game

  9. It’s whatever. Losses happen. We were missing four crucial players and everyone else had an off-night. Maxey had his worst game of the season which sucks but it’s what separates him from the very best like Jokic, SGA, etc. I wouldn’t be TOO upset about the loss but I am disappointed in McCain — he’s moving well but at some point you just can’t say all those missed layups and easy shots are because he’s still getting into the groove. He might not be that guy.

  10. Avoiding a serious Embiid injury makes this not hurt that much. This loss is solely on Maxey. Just a complete no show.

    McCain is also clearly not a player that has earned much playing time right now. If he’s not shooting efficiently, he’s not playable. And the fact is he’s actually be our least efficient shooter on the team.

  11. 1. If anyone finds a way to blame this on Joel it’s a sign for you to take nothing they say seriously.

    2. Five rotation pieces are out. Teams just aren’t good when that happens. There was no Barlow to relieve a bad Jabari, no Grimes to relieve a bad Maxey, no VJ to relieve a bad McCain. And obviously Oubre and Watford are important. The Raptors just had a worse loss to these nets and they were much healthier. You just can’t draw anything from this game. Go to bed, celebrate the holidays, ask Santa for Maxey’s shooting to be normal on Friday. It’ll be fine.

  12. Why does McCain stand at the hash just to pump fake and drive and miss layups? Just shoot it. Every other guard on the team does

  15. Embiid out there on one leg puts up a better performance than Maxey, McCain or PG. Absolutely putrid

  17. Maxey and McCain were so awful tonight. Really everyone outside of Embiid and PG (who had some lows offensively but still had some impressive defensive moments) was bad tonight.

    Bad loss but will say just feels like one of those nights where the sixers don’t have it more than anything, and you could definitely feel that they were missing size and shooting from the guys who were out tonight.

  20. You guys should catch the mavericks game. Flagg is putting on a show. Still plenty of time left though.

  21. Maxey, Joel, and PG are as legit a Big 3 like Rose, Melo, and Tingus were with the Knicks in 2017. 0-3 thus far with all 3 playing.

    Hope that Maxey turning into Allan Saint-Maxeymin (a football player with tons of flair and speed but awful end product) tonight was a one-off.

    Won’t be surprised if Jared is traded this season tbh. Nurse is clearly not a fan of the guy and performances like this just affirm his POV.

    In all seriousness, this team has a serious fetish of losing at home that needs to be fixed sooner or later.

  22. Wasn’t able to watch the game but our top 3 paid guys play and we can’t beat the nets!? Such a weird loss after an electric win against the Knicks

  24. Game thoughts:
    -I think we have our answer as to whether we’d want to start two chipmunks in the back court, the answer to that is no.

    -Thinking long-term, does McCain have 6th man equity? He doesn’t. Among other things that have declined in his 2nd year, the underappreciated is his offensive awareness. Dude shot like 18 pump fakes. He takes an open 3 finally at the final seconds of the game and it goes in.

    News alert McCain: Your pump fakes aren’t convincing and no one’s really falling for them. So just stop.

    He made a couple of solid looking passes, but nothing to scream ‘home’ about from a creation standpoint. So what does he give me? A tweener who can’t play either position?

    There’ll be plenty to rag on Maxey’s first awful performance of 2025, but we know what Maxey’s ceiling is. McCain is either playable or unplayable, and the pendulum on that is too much for a guy with size limitations.

    The biggest thing isn’t even his defense anymore(it’s still eh but whatever.), it’s the lack of offensive equity. Why would anyone believe in McCain as a 6th man? I sure don’t.

  25. This team has a very consistent way of bringing us back down to earth any time we really start feeling ourselves.

  26. Maxey has won them a lot of games, tonight we lost because of an off night. It’ll happen and I’m not worried about it.

  27. This was a “they’re not worthy of the black jerseys” type of game

    Also, the “big 3” of Maxey/Embiid/PG fucking sucks, it never goes well, they just don’t mesh

    PG requires the ball a lot, Embiid requires the ball a lot, Maxey can play off ball but he didn’t wait to sign a max just to be relegated to third on the priority chart behind those two

    McCain still trying to rekindle last season’s shooting ability, bet he figures it out right away if he got traded tho

    VJ and Barlow (and Grimes too…) are very important to this team, especially VJ

  28. This was just a complete stinker all around. Not terribly concerning because we’ve been due for one and had a ton of guys out tonight. I just hope this doesn’t become a theme with the big 3 out there because those are the guys we pay the big bucks too and if they can’t even look pedestrian on offense it’s going to end very bad this year

  29. This type of loser performance before breaks/holidays has been a part of Sixers culture since The Process started.

    I don’t get the sense they have the mentality required to go on a serious run, even if they get/stay healthy.

  30. We are 0-3 with the Big 3 all playing. People want to blame this all on Maxey, who’s carried this team this whole season averaging 40 minutes and maybe deserves a little more grace for an admittedly horrible off night, and ignore that Embiid’s rebounding and defensive issues are so glaring now that Nurse has to play Drummond or Bona alongside him. So Joel is now playing the 4 and getting abused on the perimeter. Unless Joel can jump or show enough activity again what the fuck are we doing. Playing him at the 4 isn’t working and yet playing him at the 5 he can’t do what we need him to do. We are so screwed until him and PG are off the books.

    Also, it’s becoming evident that McCain and Edwards don’t belong in a serious playoff rotation.

  31. Bad losses suck…. But wow it’s clear that VJ is the glue of our 3 guards lineup. McCain and Maxey looked horrible, couldn’t shoot 3s and felt undersized. Bad offence and defence night for the both of them. Their overall energy felt odd, like they didn’t want to be there. As if the game was already lost before it started, which could be attributed to any personal reasons tbh

    We got so extremely unlucky that all our young leg and young spirit were out tonight. Barlow, Grimes and VJ are some of our most aggressive, “I’ll do anything to win” guys and it was genuinely sad to not have them there. Watford and Oubre are also deeply deeply missed. I can’t wait for Oubre’s return.

    Embiid was our best player tonight. But damn he had no support. I’ve been a Nurse shitter for a while, but this is one of those games where I can’t blame him for anything. Everyone just absolutely sucked.

    This loss also feels shitty knowing that we’re going on the road soon and will have some of our most difficult games ahead

  33. Felt awesome after the last two wins and then suddenly 3 players are out with illness

    Then they got spanked by a tanking team even tho most of the roster and main guys are available

    An opportunity to further build momentum… completely wasted, let’s just hope they’re all healthy and available for Friday…

  34. I love maxey but this one is on him. And we gotta stop letting these mid players have career nights against us our defense is booty
