Its crazy when you have a scoring guard like maxey. Everytime i watch contenders, the more i know that dyson needs to come off the bench if he cant shoot and make open threes. Attack and finish at the rim.
Worried about Joel Embiid’s Left knee
Forced hyperextension with some rotation/valgus force concerns be for
Worst case scenario: ACL/and or MCL
Best case scenario: Hyperextension joint capsule injury/Bone bruise
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will combine to make $115M next season.
Derrick White has three more years left on his deal worth over $97M.
8 players are under contract, plus the 27th pick. Queta, Walsh, and Harper have minimum team options.
Not much room to make an addition.
Brad Stevens, who won Executive of the Year earlier this week, traded Anfernee Simons for Nikola Vučević at the deadline.
Vooch was a DNP-CD in Game 7.
Joe Mazzulla started Baylor Scheierman, Ron Harper Jr., and Luka Garza in Game 7
Those 3 players were a combined 0-for-7 from the floor for zero points in Game 7
Tyrese Maxey aint Dyson Daniels, Joel Embiid aint Onyeka Okongwu & Paul George's defense aint Jalen Johnson's non-existent defense. This is a totally different animal for the New York Knicks. The only real question is can Joel Embiid stay upright thru this series & if he can they can win this series... No question.
🫡 to the Celtics for going out and competing in a season everyone thought would be a gap year. They overachieved all year. The downside of that is it’s very difficult for those type of teams to sustain it in the playoffs.
Yeah Joel has missed more games due to injury than just about anyone, but also I'm pretty sure no player in recent memory has played through pain more than he has. And still been so effective? Nah. Shoutout to the big fella; he completely changed that series.
Twice the Celtics had man advantages and instead of going for the two, they took three’s. The analytics say take them, I suppose.
But in a game like this…
Embiid is a freaking warrior. Was just incredible tonight. Yet, the biggest reason the Sixers are going to win this series is because Tyrese Maxey has been the best player on both teams over the seven game sample size
