jj trying to be the smartest guy in the room lately why are you bringing in bronny off the bench before knecht?
Yeah I have no idea what the hell he was thinking there. The crowd smelled blood, and Maxey just attacked him. Kid is not ready for real game action, and especially not on the road in Philly.
Cause they're short handed and Shake was turrable against Charlotte. Team didn't have legs after last night. Austin didn't have the next gear to go to. Max was bad. It was worth a shot. Without Vando, with DFS on minute restriction, and it being Rui's first game back you needed DK to be used as a bigger forward.
I get that Shake was awful, but I still don’t go to Bronny there, he’s not ready. Shake has at least been here before and can handle that spot
I have no idea what JJ was doing with his lineups this game: even before the AD injury without Gabe he taking out both Reaves and Lebron at the same time basically caused the Laker offense to completely collapse which led to the 76ers getting stops and easy buckets. I get trying to play Bronny but not matching christie to Maxey's minutes was awful
Why? On paper, sure. Maxey was averaging over 1 point per minute regardless of who was on him until the wheels completely fell off. No one on this roster was doing anything to even make him work for a bucket. Both on the perimeter, in the post and then when we were on offense he was essentially a strong safety jumping the passing route.
Maxey made 2 buckets before Bronny came in which were nothing special then when Bronny came he saw barbequed chicken and just put his head down and started attacking the basket. He totally got hot with that switch up and you could see it watching the game. He's too good of a player to open the floodgates for
