Therese Maxi predicted Leapfrog James Harden in the Sixers’ Pecking order

mohmad free

GT Therese Maxi #0 of the Philadelphia 76ers. This season may be a small change for the NBA guard. Senior stars like James Harden of the Philadelphia 76ers, Russell Westbrook of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Chris Paul of the Phoenix team all make up an “old guard” of players whose time at the top of NBA is over. But rising fast is a cadre of young stars poised to lead the next generation. Think Luka Doncic, Trae Young, Zion Williamson, Jason Tatum – all under 25 with a start…

Matisse Thybulle opens up about failed Sixers extension talks

mohmad free

GT Matisse Thieball No. 22 of the Philadelphia 76ers. You might be forgiven if you thought Tuesday night was the biggest night on the Philadelphia 76ers’ schedule this week. Yes, the team opened the regular season Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. But Monday night marked another major milestone of the season. That’s because the Sixers had until 6:00 p.m. Monday to reach a contract extension with Matisse Thybulle. Thybulle’s rookie deal expires at the end of the season, and since the player and club fail to agree terms for a…

Doc Rivers has been criticized for inconsistent 76ers lineup rotation

GT Doc Rivers. Once upon a time, the expected backup position for the Philadelphia 76ers seemed to have worked. When the team signed former sixth player of the year Montrezel Harrell, the huge man and his sweet offensive game should have slipped as the club’s number two man. But Paul Paul said not so fast. Paul Reed and Harrell split time with the lion’s share of big spare minutes in Philadelphia. The two players earn their money from vastly different playing styles. Harel is an offensive dynamo, while Reed’s prowess…

Matisse Thiebolle and Philadelphia 76ers hold contract extension talks: Report

mohmad free

GT Matisse Thieball No. 22 of the Philadelphia 76ers. It might not be June, but the Philadelphia 76ers are on the clock nonetheless, with a crucial decision looming for Matisse Thibault. The Sixers have until 6 p.m. ET on Monday to sign Thybulle to the junior extension; If not, the former Washington Huskie becomes a restricted free agent next summer. Thybulle is a defensive ace, emerging from the All-Defense Second Team’s second-in-a-row nod. But he’s far from the 3D winger Philadelphia was hoping to eventually develop when he took him…

Sixers’ Therese Maxi gets the amazing football pass from De’Anthony Melton

mohmad free

GT Therese Maxi #0 of the Philadelphia 76ers. The Philadelphia team was 76 x minus 48 hours until the pre-season opener against Eastern Conference champions Boston Celtics. Given the level of competition and risk this season, one might expect the Sixers to spend these crucial harmony days in the gym, to continue improving their chemistry. Technically, this is true. On Friday, Therese Maxi and DeAnthony Melton were spotted at the gym. They shared the ball between them. Only the ball was made of pigskin instead of orange rubber and their…

Joel Embiid claims the Six have “a long way to go” with the finals

mohmad free

GT Joel Embiid #21 Philadelphia 76ers. The Philadelphia 76ers enter the 2022-23 season with the same goals and expectations they’ve had for the past half decade: winning the Finals. It’s a long way to go, but after an undefeated pre-season, the Sixers squad looks as killer as they have been since they launched The Process a decade ago. The Sixers have outdoor shooting in Tyrese Maxey, Danuel House and James Harden. They have a confused identity in De’Anthony Melton, P.J. Tucker, and Montrezl Harrell. And they have Joel Embiid, who…

Doc Rivers pays tribute to Sixers’ Jaden Springer

mohmad free

GT Head coach Doc Rivers. Over the past two seasons, the Philadelphia 76ers have demonstrated a strong ability to spot and develop young talent. Tyrese Maxey and Paul Reed stand out as draft-day swingers who have developed into a capable talent (and in Maxey’s case, an all-star level budding). It is a strong departure from the generation immediately before it. It’s a strange irony: The lottery pick after lottery pick worked well, with the Sixers winning a string of unmissable talents including Joel Embiid, Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor, Markelle Fultz…

Six can banish Tobias Harris to the defense bench

mohmad free

GT Tobias Harris #12, Therese Maxi #0, James Harden #1 and Joel Embiid #21 of the Philadelphia 76ers. The Philadelphia 76ers enter the 2022-23 season with the most balanced roster in recent memory. The summit is as strong as it comes: Prime Minister Joel Embiid, rookie Therese Maxi, and hungry James Harden. But the rest of the spin also carries its fair share of power. The Sixers have a dazzling identity brought on by PJ Tucker and Montrezl Harrell. The team strengthened the defense by adding a tenacious De’Anthony Melton.…

The Sixers Predicted to Win the Finals by NBA Insider

mohmad free

GT Tobias Harris #12, Therese Maxi #0, James Harden #1 and Joel Embiid #21 of the Philadelphia 76ers. Emotions may still run high after the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Brooklyn Nets in their pre-season opener. Maybe it’s because Thérèse Maxi already seems ready for his first All-Star nod this season. Perhaps it’s because the Phillies are heading into their first post-season in a decade and the Eagles are the only unbeaten team in football. But my gosh, don’t I feel like this might be the year of the Sixers? The…

James Harden Role Revealed: ‘Magic Johnson Recording’

mohmad free

GT James Harden #1 of the Philadelphia 76ers. When the Philadelphia 76ers traded James Harden last season, he was thought to be the perfect candidate for Sixers big man Joel Embiid. After all, Harden excels at pick-and-roll, as does Embiid (even if he doesn’t want to admit it). Furthermore, Harden’s 10.5 assists over the past two seasons have made him a perfect replacement for Ben Simmons, the former Philadelphia playmaker. But while passing passes are good, Sixers coach Doc Rivers doesn’t want his star to settle for any passive “facilitator”…
