He still looks fat and out of shape to me, the only difference this year is that he has more mobility and midrange game.
ButT maXey can't pLay pg. Kid is making everyone better. They just need a better supporting cast and get rid of Harden.
Such a weird time to make this post. Maxey shot the ball terribly and only had 3 assists. In a game where everyone on the team did a bunch of nothing while Embiid did everything.
ah Philtadelphia mediocrity-threadmillers! 2nd round fodder at best! do your thing right now.... trade embiied while he s still healthy and before he becomes another john wall
Not a weird time at all. I previously said when he goes down the team will gel better. I also said months back that Maxey is their pg and got some responses that he's not that.
lol maxey has been dog water. Harden being out just made it all the more obvious they need a real back up pg. None of their guards maxey, melton, milton know how to do anything but get their own shots up
But Maxeys numbers were better with Harden playing compared to since Harden got injured. Especially his scoring. His efficiency has taken a nose dive because he has had to create his own shots more rather then being spoon fed great scoring opportunities with Harden. With Harden he was averaging 24.2 points on 63.3 TS%. Without Harden he is averaging 20.2 points on 43.8 TS%. He’s averaged a whopping 6.0 assists since Harden went down. Embiid started the season pretty poorly(claims of plantar fasciitis) and then missed a handful of games. Embiid has come back and been on a tear the last 4 games. Your post was trying to make their 3-1(3-2 without Harden)record recently out to be because Maxey has been making everyone better, when that’s not what has been happening at all.
Do they classify 'double teams' as when a player drives into the lane between a bunch of defenders not actively defending him? Otherwise how is KPJ on that list. Not my standard hating KPJ post - but I literally cannot think of a time where I've seen the defense say 'we got to double team KPJ and get the ball out of his hands'.
So Harden gets injured and then 76ers go 4-1 beating Suns, Jazz, Hawks, and Bucks, all currently top 4 playoff seeds.
Embiid was out of shape at the beginning of the season - this was obvious watching the first game vs Milwaukee. Not surprising as he takes it easy to minimize injury.
