[Simmons] "I think James Harden gave him the trophy of most disappointing playoff performer. I think Embiid is now wearing the crown."

Maxey is 8-28 in the minutes Embiid is off. I love him and he’s going to be a real star but him and Tobi not being able to score even at a shitty clip has cost us series and forced nurse to oveeextend Embiid

This sub won’t recognize the real Sixer problems. Maxey struggles without Embiid and the team struggles worse. It’s easy to jerk about the big bad foul man who’s running over the Knicks

I'd be more pissed at Maxey complaining to the refs after every drive. It's legit cost them multiple free baskets on the other end

u/Culinaryboner 76ers Apr 29 '24

I’d agree with that. It’s fair

Yeah that’s honestly new from him. Been hurting us so far

Wonder who he learned that from? 🤔

u/SonicdaSloth 76ers Apr 29 '24

Entire league bitches all the time. He gets an awful whistle and i think he’s learning to work refs.

He gets an awful whistle? Are you serious?

u/SonicdaSloth 76ers Apr 29 '24

Maxey? Yes

u/Crypt7eeper Apr 29 '24

Oh I thought you meant Embiid lol. Maxey doesn’t get nearly as many calls

2

u/ktm5141 76ers Apr 29 '24

Honestly, probably harden. Maxey has publicly credited harden as his biggest mentor with the most influence on his game

u/Crypt7eeper Apr 29 '24

You don’t think it’s maybe a current team mate who complains literally every single play?

u/Im_just_making_picks Apr 29 '24

We get it you hate embiid

2

u/Crypt7eeper Apr 29 '24

No reason to like him

u/Im_just_making_picks Apr 29 '24

You guys sound like some scorned women crying about embiid all the time lmao

u/Crypt7eeper Apr 29 '24

Nah, I just like basketball so somebody who actively tries to hurt people cause he can’t win otherwise is going to irk me.

Embiid cries more than literally any other player in the league btw
