We’ve got SO much season left and these games we might not even remember come March/April.

But we’re about an 1/8 through the season and Philly looks far better than any other team in the East outside of us. If the Sixers were going to remain contenders, Maxey needed to take that leap.

And oh my goodness has he taken that leap. He just dropped 50. His playmaking looks far more advanced than predicted. Philly has got themselves a lot more serious squad by adding Nurse and subtracting Harden.

About Milwaukee though, their downfall might be their coaching. Just like similar complaints from us last year, you’re asking a lot out of a rookie head coach with little experience with a roster that is ready to compete right now.

Their defense is completely broken and not like what it’s been in years past. Their roster around Giannis and Dame is a good amount of players on the wrong side of 30. I still think Milwaukee will find their rhythm eventually though.

But I am still confident in saying that Philly is a more dangerous team and I’d bet that this is the year they can break that 2nd round hurdle.

As long as they don’t run into us.

    • I hate to say it but the refs gave it to them when we played them
    • Similar to use, they’ve had a very cupcake schedule so far
    • Against better competition the lack of Kelly Oubre will unfortunately have a serious impact on them
    • Against the Pacers, their bench gave them nothing. Maxey doesn’t go 7/11 from 3, and they probably aren’t winning that game… He’s a good career 3pt shooter at about 41% but that’s 63% that’s not sustainable
    • They’re trending towards the top of the league in terms of home games played with 6 out of the 9 games played.

    Late November they have @ Minnesota and @ OKC, @ New Orleans, and @ Boston and outside of that they have a pretty cake schedule until January.

    ​

    Anyways, my point is that they’ll revert to the mean and so will the Bucks.
