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

@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.

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."

@therealmikekb It’s not really unless this franchise has a culture reset. Irony is we are right where we were pre-Process.

@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

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 allphly.com/sixers-knicks-…

@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.

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?)

@KevinCooney Any fan who thought this Embiid epiphany was real needs to reevaluate

@DerekBodnerNBA We need a culture shift in this franchise. Utter bullshit, we are nowhere near contending for a title.

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.

@JonMarksMedia Sure, if this is 2k. No one is trading for Embiid or George. This is moreys disaster that another GM will inherit

@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.

@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.

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.

@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

@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

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

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.

@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.

@DerekBodnerNBA Sixers opened like it’s a regular season game. Boston played with effort and crispness. Again, that is on coaching and Nurse

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.

@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.

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.
