Sixers' 2022-2023 GDT #59: 02/25/23 Celtics(43-17) @ 76ers(39-19) - 8:30pm

[BelmontShore]

Pathetic end of the 3rd, especially on Rivers.

No adjustment for guarding Horford.

[Gennosuke]

Bench has been terrible tonight. Six total points.

[BelmontShore]

There is no true 3pt threat to close out games vs athletic teams. Harden CAN shoot 3s, but he's not a catch and shoot threat to win you games. Niang is unplayable. He rushes everything vs athletic defenders.

[Captain Obvious]

Jesus that was crazy, and horrible at the same time...

They just can't beat the Celtics...

[BelmontShore]

Harris not on Tatum with the game on the line.

Rivers doesn't leave them with a TO.

Rivers is a horrible coach.

[BelmontShore]

Melton can't be on Tatum to end the game.

Harris had Tatum locked down the whole game and Rivers takes him off Tatum in game time.

[Gennosuke]

Niang is unplayable. He rushes everything vs athletic defenders.

Imagine if we had a shooter like say...Isaiah Joe.

If Harden is back next year, Sixers need to move Maxey for a young wing.

They can’t play together, and he looks like a mess off the bench.

[BelmontShore]

Awful, trust me, that's a mistake.

Maxey will be a star.

His issue off the bench is he is the one and only scoring threat in Rivers' asinine all bench lineup. The defense totally keys on him, they don't have another scoring threat vs athletic teams. Niang is unplayable and can't get off a clean 3. Melton and Milton are slower. McDaniels is a weird offensive player and Reed is a lob catcher who doesn't get lobbed to.

Rivers still hasn't figured out a staggered lineup with starters still on the floor with Maxey. 2 of Embiid, Harden or Harris need to be on the floor with Maxey. If Harden is on the floor with Maxey, he has to give up the ball for Maxey to initiate and he has to be willing to spot up for catch and shoot 3s. He can't hold the ball and shoot late in the clock 3s or drive.

Maxey's struggles are purely Rivers' fault.

Grrrrrr.
