    No way espn and first take is saying anything bad about embiid. When Tobias Harris scored 0 points.

    Put Perk in the Hall of Fame for that Chick-fil-A analogy. 🤣🤣🤣

    I don't believe many people thought Sixers were getting past NY. But they went out SWINGING. This was a great series to watch.

    As a fan, this year I'm not blaming Embiid. His effort is not in question. He was amazing in that game and exceeded expectations when you consider his health. Maxey was not having a good game and he was too focused on getting calls, Nick Nurse had idiotic lineups out there in big time moments, Tobias Harris is not a threat and did absolutely nothing in 29min of play. The team in general is too focused on out-talenting other teams instead of having an actual offense with schemes and counters. The defense only ever peaks in desperation situations instead of staying tough and consistent throughout. Should've never got rid of Matisse, we need to remove Tobias Harris from the team, sign more athletic players that can rebound and defend, and stop making so many excuses. Stop relying on the refs to win you the game
  • Tobias Harris is gone, that alone already makes this off season for us Philly fans feel better lol

    Maxey gets plenty of chances, they both can and have scored big. Both get shots in the clutch. They're building well with their two stars. Its like Jokic and Murray. Jokic is the core of what they do, but Jamal takes over games, takes the clutch shots, and shoots it the most. The two both being stars simultaneously is imperative. No backseat business.
  • Wrong, Smith. 76ers are going to keep Embiid, Maxey, and sign a third scorer jettisoning Harris.
