First of 82 but here are some of my takeaways:
Joel did alright, just needs to get in his groove
Maxey is going to be a monster
Springer looked nice in his 4 minutes (2 blks!)
Oubre is the goat
PJ Tucker is becoming a worse shooter
Refs were terrible
Tobias Harris
HIT THE FREE THROWS
I’m not at all worried because this isn’t our final team and we may have won the game had the refs called that abomination of a travel. Good first game. 81 more games of Sixers basketball, strap in.
What are y’all thinking?
Surprisingly happy too. Maxey looks like he can be the man and I’m okay if he won’t be that elite defensive force, because we have Joel (for now!!), Reed, and Springer.
My main worry is Joel looks sad.
I’m excited to trade Harden for at least pieces. I don’t expect a star in return, but very good players to do the little things. Sure we might not be as flashy as other teams, but Nurse is the real deal, Joel is MVP, Maxey is a rising star, and maybe Tobias will thrive more as the third option as opposed to 4th.
