Maybe Embiid is the problem bc you guys look infinitely better (more coherent) on offense than what I saw vs Chicago

Or the Thunder’s defense is broken. Either way this is a good showing

The problem is there are two teams. The Embiid centric squad and the Maxey centric squad. Embiid is still putting up numbers but the ball doesnt move around when he's on the court. Maybe some dribble handoffs but its still just hero ball.

Maxey plays hero ball too but the tempo picks up enough so that VJ, Grimes and the others can still get shots up and catch rhythm.

Maxey reverts back to lil bro when Embiid is out there when he shouldnt.

The script is in against the 76ers. Maxey had 23 at the half and scoreless in the 3rd, even though they’re not sticking him any different from the first half. OKC getting everything they want from the refs it’s absurd

Welp. Nevermind

76ers just don’t have anyone other than Maxey (and DNP Embiid) that can break down physical defense consistently
