Maxey is just not that guy, you need reliable creators in playoffs, not a speedy munchkin that cannot get separation and is also a traffic cone on defense.

We are running the worst center position in the league out there night after night. Paul Reed gets zero respect from the Refs and he doesnt deserve too lol.

That was a terrible possession. Looks like we are going to win but really Cleveland was awful.

Maxey came alive in the 4th, but the Cavs are throwing this one away if we're honest

Playing bad. They would have lost to most teams tonight. Cleveland has been wretched so they might eek out a win.

Again, Maxey will have to win us every game from here on out. Very impressed with his 4th quarter performance tonight.

Any win with this roster is a great win. 51-43 on the boards is amazing to me.

First home win since Embiid dropped 70 on the Spurs.

Improved Rotations: We made early substitutions for Tobi and Reed when they were struggling.

Enhanced Bench Performance: Payne's 16 points were crucial for our bench scoring, while Bamba effectively protected the rim. Melton excelled on both ends, with his deflections. KJ and Council proved to be solid and dependable.

Optimized Pacing: We focused on getting scoring opportunities for Oubre and Tobi early in the game and before crunch time, when the defense was less intense. This strategy ensured that Maxey and Hield had enough energy for scoring during crunch time.

*I believe Batum opted to sit this one out. I assume we're saving him for the next two games against Tatum and Giannis.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Maxey has officially moved into the upper echelon of guards in the league. Young man is really starting to figure things out. He's making really good reads and he's finding ways to impact the game when his shots not falling or when defenses are selling out to stop him. This truly sucks not having Embiid, but we're at least keeping things interesting.

Getting the full attention of opposing defenses when Embiid is out will accelerate his improvement curve. Long term it’s a good thing.
