    I saw at least 5 passes that went for 0 points because they either missed the shot, or muffled the ball or both.

    This isn’t the NFL, completing passes sadly don’t count for points. I wish people understood the PG position better. Haliburton would struggle(to varying degrees) with this non-Embiid roster.

      Nah Haliburton wouldn’t struggle to get assists with the non Embiid roster. Neither would Harden who still got plenty of assists even when he was paired with these bench lineups. It’s just that they are way better passers and playmakers than Maxey is. It’s okay to admit it man, you don’t have to be delusional and try to claim that they haven’t gotten loads of assists on poor rosters because they have. Maxey just isn’t a natural playmaker like them which is why getting a backup PG who’s good enough to start is important so that the Sixers have someone to run the floor if Embiid ain’t available.

        The Sixers do not have anybody as consistently good as a Jalen Smith on their roster, that’s just an example. We don’t have a Mathurin, etc.

        Like those guys on the Pacers can’t defend shit, but they are offensively gifted. We saw Tobi’s weak ass finishing. There’s nothing a Hali can do about that.

        Our guys just aren’t as good offensively or defensively across the board without Joel Embiid. No one is clamoring for them in trade talks, no one actually wants these particular players.

        A case in point could be made about the guys we let go who are struggling, it’s the Embiid effect.

        We’d like to acquire players good enough, to stand on their own. And so far we’ve failed to find guys who have that capability in the NBA.

        Which is why Hali would ‘struggle’, these other guys not even in an open gym can make NBA shots. It doesn’t matter who the PG is.
