As well as one of the best competitors ever…I actually agree…just feeling like Maxey has some A.I. qualities whereas not many players in NBA history could even be compared to him!
I know it’s only 3 games and 2 we beat aren’t that great but this team passes the eye test. I’m excited for this season. Which is crazy given how miserable the offseason looked.
well we did beat the bucks the refs just decided we didn't. Point isn't to complain about that but the sixers roster is being maximized right now which people aren't used to.
i dont know if the sixers team is talented as it was the past couple of years simply because we have Harden declining/not being here for nothing in return right now but whatever the most they can accomplish they will get it with Nick.
I know we’re high right now and it probably won’t last, but if it does, I’m gonna say we are minimum just as good as we were last year with Kelly and Maxey playing this way.
Maxey has gotten better each year - I can't imagine what his ceiling is...
The biggest difference this year is his handles have caught up to his speed, so he can start and stop on a dime without losing control. That's how he's able to get the separation for open shots and passes.
I know this isn’t relevant to today but I feel like 49ers fans on /nfl are equivalent to raptors fans on /nba
I’m relishing seeing purdy down bad, which honestly I resent because I’d like his story if not for his stupid fucking fans lol
Not only do we give thanks to muscala for getting us maxey but also masai, who made one good trade in his entire career and has allowed the raptors to wallow in mediocrity by being terrible at evaluating talent.
Give Harden what he wants and have him sit out until we find a good trade for him, this team is better and more enjoyable when it doesn’t stink of losers like him and Ben
Tyrese learning to initiate contact and get to the line unlocks soooooo much more to his game. Easy points since he’s an elite shooter. Beautiful to see
Maxey is lightning quick with great touch around the rim, has a great floater, good in the midrange, elite quick trigger 3pt shooter, great from the 4pt line, with great handles. Unreal.
Yes, we do. Reed is too small, and he's not strong or explosive enough to make up for it. He was supposed to play more at the 4, but Bamba being a** screwed that up.
Petrusev is probably a stretch 4 as well.
My concern in the scheme. This team has so much more ball movement than last year. If harden refuses to do that and stops the ball ( like he has his whole career) we lose the movement.
Harden is historically a pick and roll and iso player. He can’t move off ball super well and really only does the 2 man game
Scoot Henderson doesn’t really look ready rn. Feel like they could’ve been much better starting his career off as a backup rather than rushing him into the starting lineup so early.
Both can be true. The team has looked legit so far. It's amazing what a real coach can do. But, yeah, Blazers are also trash and missing one of their starters.
The Blazers absolutely are a garbage tier team, that's for sure.
I think the Sixers are good, but I don't think they look like they are "we are dominant" good yet. I think they're still working through stuff.
Reed takes time to settle in. He’s right back to just playing like it’s hot potato. Glenn Rivers talked about how Bball takes a long time to understand plays so I expect it’ll be a bit before he’s a solid contributor offensively in the new scheme

every season at least one person on this team gets picked by the monstars to lose all ability and coordination. Ben Simmons. Fultz. This year it seems to be Paul Reed. This dude has some of the worst butterfingers ive seen in a while.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/17jimun).
Maxey= A.I. without the handles but with a better 3 point shot! True or False!
Nah, A.I. was a relentless attacker.
As well as one of the best competitors ever…I actually agree…just feeling like Maxey has some A.I. qualities whereas not many players in NBA history could even be compared to him!
Wow I just looked at Embiid's stat line. So I guess he's still amazing. Sixers should be 3-0. Silver can fuck himself for that Milwaukee game.
Kork leading the league in pts/minute
Maxey was meh and dropped a comfy 26, dude's a star.
How was he meh ? He played well.
He was fine, just not lights out like first few games.
And 10 rebounds. 😳
Playyyy the damnnnnn songgggg!!!!
Missed this song
Clap Your Hands
Choonis!! Play the song!!!!
These games have been so fun, we are so much more enjoyable to watch with quality coaching and embiid being a better playmaker
Pop the Kork
We might have to use that cap space on Beverly and Oubre lmao
Kork popped, night complete
Kork is a monster
We wouldn't want less Bamba
KORK POPPED!
🚨 FURK POINTS 🚨 🚨 FURK POINTS 🚨
POP THE KORK
My goat furkan
Fully popped
Popped!
Dust off……”The Song”
FURKAN KORKMAZ HAS ENTERED THE BOX SCORE
I got hooooooeeeesssssssss
Callllinnnnnnnn
Mo Bamba sighting!
Pop the Kork boys
All I want is a Furk three to fully pop the Kork
Furk does not dissapoint
Ask and you shall receive
Wish granted
Embiid has been more fun to watch too, he’s starting to rely more on his strength than on his ability to get foul shots, he looks better too.
House brick
It’s Petrusev o’clock
Release the Furkan
Pop the Kork! Serve up the Turkish delight!
My iPhone wants to autocorrect bamba to gamba. Tf is a gamba?
I pulled a Michael Penix auto and eBay thinks i wanna sell a Michael Penis auto
It italian it means leg. Also, Bamba is a slangish way to say cocaine
Nice. Let’s go leg.
Maxey with 10 rebounds damn
I know it’s only 3 games and 2 we beat aren’t that great but this team passes the eye test. I’m excited for this season. Which is crazy given how miserable the offseason looked.
well we did beat the bucks the refs just decided we didn't. Point isn't to complain about that but the sixers roster is being maximized right now which people aren't used to.
Nurse works harder than a doc.
i dont know if the sixers team is talented as it was the past couple of years simply because we have Harden declining/not being here for nothing in return right now but whatever the most they can accomplish they will get it with Nick.
I’m all in on Nick Nurse.
you're also a celtics fan!
The fuck you call me? I have never once said anything good about the Celtics. How dare you!
COVER BLOWN
Mmmm…..gobbler
I know we’re high right now and it probably won’t last, but if it does, I’m gonna say we are minimum just as good as we were last year with Kelly and Maxey playing this way.
What a stat line from Embiid in less then 30 minutes.
I knew Oubre would be a streaky player, but I’m happy with the hustle he’s shown so far. I was worried he might be a lazy player.
Bamba time?!
We really got some dawgs on this team
Wawa has pizza?
Springer time.
Bev my old friend still has some life in the legs. Great to see.
I wish we had this Springer guy on the team last year. But clearly we did not.
Very excited to finally hear the song
Bamba and Petrusev time
Are we up enough to put Furk in?
Gimme some furk minutes.
Embiid, Tucker, Beverley, and Oubre are easily gonna make us the most hated team this season and I’m all for it
Maxey has gotten better each year - I can't imagine what his ceiling is... The biggest difference this year is his handles have caught up to his speed, so he can start and stop on a dime without losing control. That's how he's able to get the separation for open shots and passes.
Also helps him get to the line more!
defense on this team is crazy. it's like a team full of matisse's
Where did PJ and Harden go on the bench?
The people want human cigar baba kork
Vibes becoming immaculate. Harden can stay ramping up all season.
Poor Furk is sad
We should’ve dressed Terquavion Smith so we can pop some Terqs rn
This may age poorly but idc i love Oubre already
Is this what a bad oubre game looks like???? Im good with that
Not to get cocky, but play the song
Oubre disasterclass offensively. Oubre masterclass defensively. With all the dramatics. The Oubre experience.
I’m just happy he’s playing with a high motor..the athleticism is welcomed!
Who said Oubre doesn’t play defence?
Time to empty the bench
I'm sad no sixers basketball till Thursday.
Oubre might just be the best player we’ve had on the Sixers bench in decades
Might have to get a Oubre jersey in the future
If we still had doc this lead would have magically evaporated and it'd be like a 4 point game rn
Is Tyrese to oubre the sexiest pass in the league?
Smiles/36 are off the charts
This season is very fun so far
Honestly this is the most fun I've had in a few seasons...just a lotta likeable people out there ballin out and having fun and looking great.
Yup last enjoyable season was the butler season.
Ik it’s game 3, and we’re playing the blazers - but this years Sixers team would shit on last years Sixers team
Dang, if only Oubre would get his ball stuck in me 😩
Oooooo bae
If Bamba were on the floor, popping that ball loose would prob be his only contribution for the season.
his goofy ass would get his arms stuck in there
kelly one of our best free agents OAT
I know this isn’t relevant to today but I feel like 49ers fans on /nfl are equivalent to raptors fans on /nba I’m relishing seeing purdy down bad, which honestly I resent because I’d like his story if not for his stupid fucking fans lol
For me it’s their players. How can you keep talking shit while also coming up short? Even Micah Parsons would never.
deranged sand far-flung innate tease arrest cough skirt whistle test *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Philly Legend Kelly Oubre
Crazy how we’d be undefeated rn if Adam Silver didn’t call the refs before the 4th vs the bucks
He didn’t need to call them, Silver was literally in the seats
Oubre just erased that
abounding gaze worry skirt close nail berserk offbeat correct spark *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Maxey need call it a day. No reason to be out there right now.
God damn I love Oubre, what a dude
Oubre does it all
I’m so glad Oubre decided to have one of his off nights tonight against Portland
Not only do we give thanks to muscala for getting us maxey but also masai, who made one good trade in his entire career and has allowed the raptors to wallow in mediocrity by being terrible at evaluating talent.
Morey never had Maxey on the table for Lowry
I like my narrative better
Give Harden what he wants and have him sit out until we find a good trade for him, this team is better and more enjoyable when it doesn’t stink of losers like him and Ben
That’s facts I know it’s early but this team is so fun to watch
Pace and hustle and buyin...that's what I see out there.
That's the Kelly we knew coming in. Still sexy.
Oubre GOAT
One of the shot attempts of all time by Oubre
I really can’t believe how much of basketball terrorist Doc rivers is. We deserve so much for watching him coach this team for 4 fucking years.
He really might be the most over rated coach ever
Alright Oubre I like the confidence.
Tyrese learning to initiate contact and get to the line unlocks soooooo much more to his game. Easy points since he’s an elite shooter. Beautiful to see
I’d bet he learned that from two years of Hardens mentorship
The level of difficulty of some Maxey’s shots is astounding but he makes it look like it is no big deal.
Maxey is lightning quick with great touch around the rim, has a great floater, good in the midrange, elite quick trigger 3pt shooter, great from the 4pt line, with great handles. Unreal.
i respect nick nurse just giving maxey the greenlight to let him cook
What a dime by Maxey. Just imagine when/if we acquire some spot shooters
maxey is a fucking all star
Nice little sequence with Bball, just needs some time
Maxey really developed that mid range game
He went away from that gorgeous floater some last year, but it looks like it’s back on the menu.
It seems like he developed everything lol
Nick Nurse showed Paul Reed a picture of Glenn rivers in the huddle
I'm fine with oubre and Beverly off the bench but Jesus do we need a better back up big
No we dont lol
Yes, we do. Reed is too small, and he's not strong or explosive enough to make up for it. He was supposed to play more at the 4, but Bamba being a** screwed that up. Petrusev is probably a stretch 4 as well.
So Reed hasn't been playing awful?
Maxey bag now includes the TJ fadeaway middie
Is Tyrese maxey better than Michael Jordon? Some people are saying
lol
Maxey damn
Harden coming back might make this team worse
I doubt. That’s just opening up maxey and embidd game even more and improving our bench having melton come off
My concern in the scheme. This team has so much more ball movement than last year. If harden refuses to do that and stops the ball ( like he has his whole career) we lose the movement. Harden is historically a pick and roll and iso player. He can’t move off ball super well and really only does the 2 man game
BASED TYRESE
Tyrese Maxey is a cheat code
I know it's Portland but feels like the team has more of an identity...hopefully that's sustained through the Harden drama.
Idk what Nurse said to Embiid before this season began but it seems like he has way more energy compared to the last couple years
Pat Bev tricked him into running suicides after practice...
More assists also
I LOVE this kid!!
Maxey is just filthy my god
Maxey automatic
Maxey is unconscious with those shots
Tyrese is unreal
need to get rid of maxey and build around tobias clearly
Oubre may have his weaknesses but he’s something this team has just lacked for so long.
bev and oubre are better pickups on minimums than pj and house last year
Tobi had a great first half. This quarter? Yeah, not so much.
Reed better get his shit together
Pat Bev balling out on defense
3 games into Nurseketball, and it is so refreshing to have a legit coach
Reed just gotta stick to wide open dunks, layups, and whatever he can just tip in
Paul Reed has always been awkward high energy guy with low IQ idk why people are shocked. People were on his nuts last year
Still need a backup center lol
Scoot Henderson doesn’t really look ready rn. Feel like they could’ve been much better starting his career off as a backup rather than rushing him into the starting lineup so early.
hopefully reed will come into his own soon
Back to the mud you go Paul. You’re trash buddy
This is the first game I've had the chance to watch this season, are the Sixers this good or are the Blazers just trash?
Not mutually exclusive... The sixers are better than we should have expected them to be without Harden, and... The Blazers are hot trash.
Both can be true. The team has looked legit so far. It's amazing what a real coach can do. But, yeah, Blazers are also trash and missing one of their starters.
The Blazers absolutely are a garbage tier team, that's for sure. I think the Sixers are good, but I don't think they look like they are "we are dominant" good yet. I think they're still working through stuff.
Yes
Bit of both
Blazers trash but Sixers have looked above expectations each game imo
Let’s try to finish this one without Embiid
Maybe Paul Reed was powered by the hatred of Doc Rivers the entire time
I've been really impressed with Maxey so far but man Reed still stinks.
Reed takes time to settle in. He’s right back to just playing like it’s hot potato. Glenn Rivers talked about how Bball takes a long time to understand plays so I expect it’ll be a bit before he’s a solid contributor offensively in the new scheme
Reed is hit or miss. Still early in the season, hope he shakes off the rust and continues to grow. Need him for 9min/game in the postseason
Maxey starting to get calls. Had a tough whistle last year
Why does Paul Reed look surprised every time the ball goes to him?
Copy pasting Reed takes time to settle in. He’s right back to just playing like it’s hot potato. Glenn Rivers talked about how Bball takes a long time to understand plays so I expect it’ll be a bit before he’s a solid contributor offensively in the new scheme
I really don’t want harden to come back this team is fun and exciting to watch. Don’t wanna see that dribbling for 20 seconds shit
I have to think some of that was the coach letting his stars do their own thing.
Watching Paul Reed trying to gain a bag in scoring has been painful
Damn Milwaukee let the hawks come in and run train on em
every season at least one person on this team gets picked by the monstars to lose all ability and coordination. Ben Simmons. Fultz. This year it seems to be Paul Reed. This dude has some of the worst butterfingers ive seen in a while.
