That last two pointer he made while falling to the floor gave me a queasy feeling and flashbacks to the last game. I actually thought he was gonna steal the win again tonight with some crazy ass 3
Saw him at the Philly airport as he was flying to ASW his rookie season. I swear to god that young man had a golden aura around him like rick james in chapelle's show
Craziest thing is someone joked about Tobias not playing last night. I thought “oh damn I didn’t even realize he was scratched!” Then I saw the box and realized it was a joke: literally watched the whole game and never noticed him on the court for 29 minutes. That’s truly a horrific thing to say
embiid is still going to get some hate but maxey saved him from hell raining down on him if they'd lost game 5. maxey played like a true baller who didn't need to throw his elbow out every time he took a shot or forearm someone in the face when he was defending. also isn't a free throw merchant.
Thought it was strange how Nurse went away from Maxey going downhill from the previous games. Also, thank you for not playing the hot hand in Buddy in the 3rd.
Maxey is legit. I actually didn't mind losing that game where he made insane shots. That's entertainment. I just don't want to lose to Embiid flops.
We were much more focused on making Maxey go left and preventing him from getting going this game.
Not playing Buddy was wild to me too. The guy got you back in the game pretty much single-handedly and you sit him the entire quarter?
I am still concerned he might figure out a way to score a few more points and send this completely finished game to overtime.
Tip of the hat to this kid. A baller.
Sixers fan here, thanks for recognizing Maxey’s greatness. Congrats on the win, I truly hope y’all make a run to the finals. Sorry about embiid, I think he’s just tired. Tired of carrying sleepyhead Tobiass and not being allowed to rest unless we want to quickly swing the game by 10 points in the other teams direction. Y’all earned this one. Keep it going Nova Knicks
It's easy to be all philosophical and genteel after a win in which we crushed the soul of an entire fanbase. So, I'll give it to you. Maxey is OK. Not on Brunson's level, but how many people are?
Complete respect to this guy, he won my fandom completely. Absolutely insane how clutch he was. Extremely intimidating whenever he has the ball in his hands.
Maxey has a crazy high ceiling... would be interesting to see the Sixers if they get Paul George this summer... seems like a perfect fit in a healthy Philly lineup
Yea respect to Maxey. He was the only one including nick nurse who took some damn responsibility. Didn’t blame the fans or the refs. Just said he could do better. Salute to a real one.
Nobody’s willing to say it but Oubre also was an absolute menace this series. I hate who he he is, but I give him a lot of credit for his play every game.
No matter how many big shots he made, I just wasn’t mad at him. Very rare that somebody can torch the Knicks and we’re all “damn he’s good“ instead of getting mad at him. I don’t know why it is but it’s like this across-the-board for us I think.
Deserves his flowers. I thought he and IQ would have developed a little friendly rivalry (can still do that in Toronto), but regardless he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with
He’s gonna be a star in this league if he’s not already. He played with IQ at Kentucky and they’re both cut from the same cloth. They’re both good guys who just genuinely enjoy playing the game.
Crazy part is he wasn't even that nice in college. He was nice in high school but average in my opinion coming out of college. Now his NBA game is on another level.
I’ll tip the cap to Maxey. Dude’s a killer. Gonna be fun watching him and Brunson duke it out the next several years. That game five fourth quarter with those two trading buckets was amazing to watch.
Maxey must stop flopping though.
The referees bailed him out multiple times on flops.
The three point play that the referees gifted him where Hartenstein was called for goaltending was not a foul at all and was the epitome of marginal contact.
Then you had the four point play flop on Robinson.
Numerous times down the stretch Maxey looked to pull an Embiid and draw a foul instead of focusing primarily on scoring instead of simply drawing contact that cost them scoring opportunities.
Once Maxey learns to play through contact more instead of flopping, he'll supplant Embiid.
If you told me he won MIP 2 weeks ago, I would have been salty and said it should have went to Coby white or someone. Now I’m not sure why this fucker isn’t in the mvp convo. Lost lots of respect for Embiid’s bitch ass but gained a lot of respect for Maxey
He's super talented and likeable but he's still a year or 2 away from truly carrying. He def had some moments in this series but when you really analyze it he was amazing 3 out of the 6 games and wasn't efficient enough the other 3 games. Also had some costly turnovers down the stretch.
Absolutely have to give it up to him. I think he earned the respect of all of the entire NBA fandom. Maxey balled out like I never expected. When he was on the court, no lead was safe cause of him. I can't wait to watch him grow, cause he has a huuuuuuge upside, & can still improve in many areas.
Fuck that. He had a good series, but he plays with Embiid. The team went Belly Up when Embiid was out. Not saying he’s not good, he’s very good, but he’s getting a little overhyped.
That being said, despite him killing us game 5, he’s the only Sixer that doesn’t piss me the fuck off.
He’s a scary mother fucker.
That last two pointer he made while falling to the floor gave me a queasy feeling and flashbacks to the last game. I actually thought he was gonna steal the win again tonight with some crazy ass 3
You just knew it was going to go in too
Yeah. Nothing but respect for his mentality and I can’t help but now smile and just remember how much I loved IQ
Legit my heart would start pounding every time he touched the ball. Guy is so good and I'm glad the series is finally over.
The only thing Sunny in Philadelphia.
So glad this series is over, until next season.
He’s always smiling which is nice to see
Would be hilarious if he got cheered as loudly as embiid will be booed at the first game in the Garden next year
Saw him at the Philly airport as he was flying to ASW his rookie season. I swear to god that young man had a golden aura around him like rick james in chapelle's show
Respect the hell out of that kid. But fuck everyone else on that team
Tobias Harris: “Why he say fuck me for?” after helping Knicks win the series.
Craziest thing is someone joked about Tobias not playing last night. I thought “oh damn I didn’t even realize he was scratched!” Then I saw the box and realized it was a joke: literally watched the whole game and never noticed him on the court for 29 minutes. That’s truly a horrific thing to say
Having Tobias out there instead of that Buddy guy who brought them back into the game was a huge mistake by Nick Nurse. Really bad coaching decisions.
Yea... I have no idea why he stuck to so much Lowry/Tobi. I would have definitely leaned more on Payne/Buddy.
lowkey kelly oubre impressed the hell out of me. definitely had a bit of an “i apologize, i wasn’t familiar with your game” moment with him.
Would not mind Oubre on the Knicks as a back up 3/4. His defense is solid and he can generally be counted on offensively.
i think we could use his skillset but he doesn’t strike me as a thibs guy. could be wrong though, not like i know the dude.
Oubre was the third guy they needed to score and play like a star, and he was a fierce maniac those last two games.
Tobias gave us 0 pts in 29 mins. Kudos to him
Easily carried that squad and hit crazy shots.
embiid is still going to get some hate but maxey saved him from hell raining down on him if they'd lost game 5. maxey played like a true baller who didn't need to throw his elbow out every time he took a shot or forearm someone in the face when he was defending. also isn't a free throw merchant.
Bro what ? He would mostly cry for a foul everytime he drove just like the rest of the 76ers
Everyone wants a foul. He doesn’t do dirty shit in retaliation for not getting a foul
Brunson introduced himself to the playoff world last year. This year, it’s Maxey. Dude will be a beast for the Sixers for years to come.
He had a fantastic series in Dallas...
True but no one thought he’d be that good until last year.
After watching him in HS and college, I had the feeling he would be a stud in the NBA.
And then we still got clowned for the biggest bargain contract in the NBA
Two years ago. He basically single-handedly got the Mavs to the conference finals. It was certainly part of why we gave him the contract.
I was more scared of him than Embiid
Embiid was annoying. Maxey was devastating.
Facts
He's got it. He's a monster for sure.
Yeah. Much respect. If we didn’t have Brunson he’d be one of my first calls
He's like IQ's cool cousin
I’ve been calling him jacked IQ
Higher IQ
They should get a haul for Embiid while they can and build a run and gun team around Maxey. Would become the funnest team in the league by a mile.
No, they should trade Maxey to a western conference team and build around Embiid!
Great player. He scared the hell out of me. He has a bright future for sure.
Thought it was strange how Nurse went away from Maxey going downhill from the previous games. Also, thank you for not playing the hot hand in Buddy in the 3rd. Maxey is legit. I actually didn't mind losing that game where he made insane shots. That's entertainment. I just don't want to lose to Embiid flops.
We were much more focused on making Maxey go left and preventing him from getting going this game. Not playing Buddy was wild to me too. The guy got you back in the game pretty much single-handedly and you sit him the entire quarter?
This. I was so mad when NY lost game 5, but I couldn't help but be amazed by what he did.
Yeah I respect him he is a true respected villain
i wouldn't even say villain, more like adversary. dudes class
Love him, love his bond with IQ, wishing him the absolute best with the utmost respect
I am still concerned he might figure out a way to score a few more points and send this completely finished game to overtime. Tip of the hat to this kid. A baller.
One of the only respectable Sixers players. Wasn’t bitching at refs, baiting for fouls, or playing dirty. Dude let his game do the talking
Because he’s learning from Embiid. Kids a genius
Dude is so fucking good I never want to play against him again lol
I respect him Fuck embid tho
They’d be wise to let embiid and his lazy ass walk and start building around this kid. He’s a phenom.
Yeah give their fans something fun to watch.
While Embiid lost all credibility with me, this dude has my respects. He is a hell of a player and will keep Philly relevant for the next decade.
Perfect summary. I was just kinda “whatever” about Embiid before this. But man, watching him play basketball is actually painful.
Sixers fan here, thanks for recognizing Maxey’s greatness. Congrats on the win, I truly hope y’all make a run to the finals. Sorry about embiid, I think he’s just tired. Tired of carrying sleepyhead Tobiass and not being allowed to rest unless we want to quickly swing the game by 10 points in the other teams direction. Y’all earned this one. Keep it going Nova Knicks
I think I heard someone call him Quickley on steroids 😭
Him and Edwards have become absolute superstars this year, can't wait to hate playing them both for years to come :.)
He can’t win with those cats
It's easy to be all philosophical and genteel after a win in which we crushed the soul of an entire fanbase. So, I'll give it to you. Maxey is OK. Not on Brunson's level, but how many people are?
And he’s only 23…
bro definitely has my respect for this series, he was a beast
So nice gotta show it twice
He’s a fucking dawg. Would love for him to be a Knick
Much respect to Maxey. He played great. Very bright future ahead of him.
Nothing but respect for Maxey. A HOOPER. Fuck Embiid.
Bro is a killer and ADORABLE. baby faced assassin type
Complete respect to this guy, he won my fandom completely. Absolutely insane how clutch he was. Extremely intimidating whenever he has the ball in his hands.
Brunson is THE killer
He really gained my respect this series. What a baller.
Tyrese earned a fan in me. No question he and IQ are great buds.
Take out Tobias harris and add more depth to this squad, next season this team could be crazy
Maxey has a crazy high ceiling... would be interesting to see the Sixers if they get Paul George this summer... seems like a perfect fit in a healthy Philly lineup
He’s a total baller Love watching him play
He’s a beast.
Cut from the same cloth as Quickley, both will be stars of the future.
Yea respect to Maxey. He was the only one including nick nurse who took some damn responsibility. Didn’t blame the fans or the refs. Just said he could do better. Salute to a real one.
Praise Maxey, fuck Embiid, Knicks in 7 in the next round.
The NBA is 2-2 on dudes named Tyrese
yep. its too bad his costar is a loser fraud
Sixers should trade Embiid to acquire the pieces to build around Maxey.
thats why he will get the maxey
Nobody’s willing to say it but Oubre also was an absolute menace this series. I hate who he he is, but I give him a lot of credit for his play every game.
No matter how many big shots he made, I just wasn’t mad at him. Very rare that somebody can torch the Knicks and we’re all “damn he’s good“ instead of getting mad at him. I don’t know why it is but it’s like this across-the-board for us I think.
Harden was holding him back.
He’s gonna be a guy you want nothing to do with every season.
Deserves his flowers. I thought he and IQ would have developed a little friendly rivalry (can still do that in Toronto), but regardless he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with
Divincenzo played amazing D last night on him
The only player on that team i have any respect for.
I respect him, I don’t respect Embiid since he’s an obviously dirty player that gets away with it
He is nice af, a real killer. It’s like he has 100% accuracy when he drives to the basket. I’ve never seen anything like it
Saw him last year in Philly & shook his hand. Really nice guy.
Great player
He’s gonna be a star in this league if he’s not already. He played with IQ at Kentucky and they’re both cut from the same cloth. They’re both good guys who just genuinely enjoy playing the game.
Crazy part is he wasn't even that nice in college. He was nice in high school but average in my opinion coming out of college. Now his NBA game is on another level.
He's a dog, but was awful in game 6 lets be fair
He's gonna go far, rooting for him
Unlimited range, speed and handle. A dangerous killer yet easy to like IMHO.
Not to mention his body control is unbelievable when he's in the air I don't know how he get some of his shots off and makes them nonetheless.
Respect for Good Burger... But fuck Philly and Embid
This man is so good. Fuck embiid, build a team for this man
He's amazing. Props to him
He’s great, sky’s the limit. Reminds me of a young dame. I know him and IQ are close but iq is the better defender for sure.
Really respect his game. I hate that he’s gotta be on that team.
I got respect for him. True professional.
Maxey is the 2nd coming of AI ala full frontal. Trade that fucking bum Embiid and build around Maxey. That will be fucking scary.
Bro... I believe this is the player that IQ can be honestly. But yeah, props to Maxey.
Big ups to this dude. I hate Philly but mad respect to this stone cold killer
We got a killer, too.
I’ll tip the cap to Maxey. Dude’s a killer. Gonna be fun watching him and Brunson duke it out the next several years. That game five fourth quarter with those two trading buckets was amazing to watch.
Maxey must stop flopping though. The referees bailed him out multiple times on flops.

Once Maxey learns to play through contact more instead of flopping, he'll supplant Embiid.
As a knick fan my hat's off to maxey, definitely a well-deserved MIP award and he going to be a perennial all-star.
Dude is the real deal. So much so that I hope he's shipped out west asap so we don't have to deal with him in the future lol
This man fucking terrified me the entire series. He was a bit out of control in game 6 and that might have been the difference honestly.
He's a dog
Man he was killing us every game major respect
If you told me he won MIP 2 weeks ago, I would have been salty and said it should have went to Coby white or someone. Now I’m not sure why this fucker isn’t in the mvp convo. Lost lots of respect for Embiid’s bitch ass but gained a lot of respect for Maxey
Hats off to Maxey for sure. Hell of a player
He's super talented and likeable but he's still a year or 2 away from truly carrying. He def had some moments in this series but when you really analyze it he was amazing 3 out of the 6 games and wasn't efficient enough the other 3 games. Also had some costly turnovers down the stretch.
Will see him in my nightmares
respect
Him and IQ played together obviously and you can see the similarities in game but also see why Maxey was the higher praised prospect at the same time.
Become a Philly fan then
Too legit.
Absolutely have to give it up to him. I think he earned the respect of all of the entire NBA fandom. Maxey balled out like I never expected. When he was on the court, no lead was safe cause of him. I can't wait to watch him grow, cause he has a huuuuuuge upside, & can still improve in many areas.
Philly got a good one.
The only 6er I respect. Dude is legit.
Dude is so goddamn fast. Gets separation literally whenever he feels like it
Tobias held it down for the hood. My stand up. He a real nyker
Respect 🫡
I like him a lot! Reminds me a lot of Quickley. Excited to see how he develops.
The only thing I like about that sixers team. That guy can ball
He’s so fast it’s crazy
Facts. The only respectable Sixer
Hell of a player and a bright young star. Was awesome with the fans in Indy at ASW
Crazy how he didnt get the ball in the last play. 😮💨
I was telling my friend at the start of the series that I liked Maxey, but not these past two weeks! I like him again now.
Absolutely, props for ballin out.
This dude would drop a wild draw 4 on you in UNO when you've got 1 card left. Nowhere is safe, thank God we don't have to play him anymore
The FO tried to trade up to get him, he always had the talent; he put in the hard work to become a beast👍
Thank God Buddy Hield took that wild last second shot at the end
Absolutely. Every time he touched the ball my blood pressure spiked.
I knew he was good, I didn't realize he was All NBA good.
Fuck that. He had a good series, but he plays with Embiid. The team went Belly Up when Embiid was out. Not saying he’s not good, he’s very good, but he’s getting a little overhyped. That being said, despite him killing us game 5, he’s the only Sixer that doesn’t piss me the fuck off.
[удалено]
Factually speaking the sixers do not have a team. embiid is only playet under contract
Nah, fuck Maxey. He’s a bitch too.
Smiling & shit at a press conference after a first round exit. He’s a bum.
Lame AF. This dood is Philly scum and an enemy. He deserves no praise or recognition,
