@TyJohnsonNews Only hope for a Sixers title is VJ morphs into a version of DWade, because Maxey as the guy ain’t it.

The sixers are Maxey’s team now & Maxey + VJ going forward. Embiid as the top guy is over. How good can Maxey be?
Tyrone Johnson@TyJohnsonNews
The Knicks were A LOT better than the Sixers were. A lot. Knicks owner + GM >>>>>>>> Sixers. It’s all about how good Maxey & VJ can be. Brunson for now >>>> Maxey. Let’s see what he does to change that.
English
@DerekBodnerNBA I appreciate what Embiid has done for the last 12 years but this quote encapsulates the Embiid experience. “If it wasn't for the oblique, some of the other stuff I had, it could have been different." He just can’t be depended on to deliver when it’s required.
English
Joel Embiid, on this season:
"For me, this [season] was a success. I came into this year not knowing where I'd be, how long I was going to play, if I was even going to be able to play...I came in hoping for best. I feel like we're in a position where we figured out the knee. If it wasn't for the oblique, some of the other stuff I had, it could have been different."
English
@therealmikekb It’s not really unless this franchise has a culture reset. Irony is we are right where we were pre-Process.
English
@KyleNeubeck @PHLY_Sports As awesome as Maxey is, he can’t be your main guy. You have to hope VJ morphs into a version of D Wade and takes over
English
Another total embarrassment from the Sixers to end a second-round series.
Will the Sixers go through another round of hoping that the same approach will yield different results? Probably!
Here's the final RECAP of the year @PHLY_Sports

@KevinCooney I love what Maxey brings to the team, but where was he? Not aggressive enough, self admittedly, in a series where that was needed.
English
Honestly, I don’t think this is on Joel. I swear.
It’s lack of bench depth which falls on Morey.
It’s lack of adjustments in this round which is on Nurse.
It’s also players showing zero fight- your pick on that. (Did you see George on the McBride 3 that Kenny just broke down?)
Joe Conti@DOJconti
@KevinCooney Any fan who thought this Embiid epiphany was real needs to reevaluate
English
@DerekBodnerNBA We need a culture shift in this franchise. Utter bullshit, we are nowhere near contending for a title.
English
This is going to come down as a referendum on Joel Embiid, because most things do. And his defensive mobility is an issue, especially since the Jaylen Brown incident late in the Boston series.
But he's one of the few on the Sixers that's actually fighting tonight.
English
@JonMarksMedia Sure, if this is 2k. No one is trading for Embiid or George. This is moreys disaster that another GM will inherit
English
@KyleNeubeck @PHLY_Sports Morey is a superstar hunter GM and not a true roster building GM. That’s how you get to a playoff roster of 7 playable players and guys run into the ground come April/May. He places hope on top heavy rosters but then signs the wrong players and cripples the franchise.
English
New @PHLY_Sports
The Sixers are down 3-0 to the Knicks and look spent, with months of decisions catching up with them at once.
Where do they go from here?

@DerekBodnerNBA Roster construction. Not having a back up 1 or 1.5 to legit spell Maxey in the playoffs is a crime. Not saying McCain is that guy, we just need someone that can set it up, run plays, and hit jumpers at a “oh god Maxeys out for 5 mins, there goes the game” type of production.
English
Final: Sixers offense goes cold down the stretch and they fall to the Knicks 108-102 to drop to 0-2 in their second round series.
Tyrese Maxey finishes with 26 on the night, but shot just 3-9 in the second half. PG added 19, Oubre Jr 19 and VJ 17/5/3.
English
@KyleNeubeck I mean are we beyond the point of at least trying Barlow at the five in a small ball lineup in 3-6 min shifts? Drummond at this point is better suited for the Big3
English
Choosing to die on this hill is hilarious
Kyle Neubeck@KyleNeubeck
Cannot believe Nurse has persisted with Drummond against the five out Boston lineups, just asking to get torched
English
@mccrystal_alex We as Sixer fans love to talk about how we could have or should have won if things just broke the right way. I’m tired of that loser mentality. Boston just wins. Tatum out most of the year, comes back early and they are right back in the mix of true contenders. #culturematters
English
Can’t be mad at the Sixers
They absolutely win that game with Embiid
Just unfortunate
Obviously there are things that could’ve been done to win the game
But the difference in rebounding and defensive presence was obvious
Need that same effort with Embiid game 4
English
@CWillforf92997 @77OnHisHead @jacob_moreno_ He’s making $50m. Same reason we gave Tobias shit for making what he made, PG should be held to a higher standard.
English
@77OnHisHead @jacob_moreno_ His playmaking and defense the last 2 minutes were the reason they were even in the game should’ve been went to him cause everytime he had the ball somebody scored
English
If the #Sixers were to win this series, they had to pull it off tonight. Little things like second-chance opportunities, center instability, VJ missing all seven threes, Grimes going MIA, all add up.
English
@CWillforf92997 @77OnHisHead @jacob_moreno_ He got his shit packed on a break because he’s soft. It’s the playoffs. Those 2 points matter in the big picture. Save me the apologies.
English
@PHLSixersNation @G0BIRDSDH How many morale losses equal an actual squad that can compete for a title? This is the playoffs, either you win or you don’t. As a Sixer fan I’m not interested in morale wins, I’m interested in how we used to count playoff wins. Actual wins.
English
@G0BIRDSDH Losses happen even when you play your butt off.
You learn.
You get better.
You move on to the next game.
English
Anyone else still proud of this squad?
I mean this is so much more fight than I think we all expected.
English
@KyleNeubeck @PHLY_Sports Turned off this slop in the 2nd quarter.
English
Humiliating Sixers performance.
THE RECAP @PHLY_Sports
allphly.com/sixers-celtics…
English
@DerekBodnerNBA Sixers opened like it’s a regular season game. Boston played with effort and crispness. Again, that is on coaching and Nurse
English
The ball movement was inconsistent, the perimeter shooting terrible and the defense somehow even worse. Boston leads 33-18 at the end of 1.
Maxey has 9 on 3-9 shooting. Sixers are shooting 1-9 from 3 as a team.
For Boston, Tatum has 10 on 5-7 shooting, with the Cs shooting 56% from the field.
English
@NBCSPhilly Every year regressing playoff wise. Ownership hoped the fans would rely on ‘22 nostalgia to line their pockets instead of adjusting and truly adapting. No spark with this iteration of this team.
English
Embiid update
Embiid was discharged from the hospital today following a successful appendectomy and is returning to Philadelphia. Embiid’s surgical recovery will be managed by team physicians in consultation with his surgeon. A timeline for return to basketball activities has not yet been determined.
English
@DerekBodnerNBA But hey, ramp up for the playoffs and roster chemistry, and availability and all that bullshit we were sold by this sorry franchise earlier this year when players were hurt or getting suspended.
English
Joel Embiid was added to the 1:15 injury report as OUT for tonight's game against the Rockets with an illness.
