The Philadelphia 76ers Joel Embiid They are the pure definition of calamity if there are still ways to define the nightmare they are experiencing this season with the cursed century they have had. After the locker room conspiracy and the return of Tyrese Maxeythe Sixers fell in Memphis (117-111) and, if that were not enough, another misfortune: they lost Paul George due to injury. Philly consolidates the dubious honor of worst team in the NBA with its 2-12 in the East with its fourth straight loss.
Saints Aldamainstalled in a higher step this season, continued in his line with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists with 4/9 in shooting and 2/3 in triples. The Grizzlies led 63-53 at halftime and, after dominating 111-92 with 5 minutes left, Embiid put Philly within 4 points with 54 seconds left (115-111), but the Pennsylvania team died on the edge. .
Joel Embiid rescued his version of MVP and left his first recital of the season with 35 points and 11 rebounds in 35 minutes with 10/21 in field goals and 1/5 in triples as the only mole. The center seemed to be aroused by Tyrese Maxey’s reproaches for being late to everything in the emergency meeting that the Sixers had held the day before.
Maxey did not measure up in his return after his injury with 8 points after 3/13 in field goals but he did his part so that the Sixers saw the three members of their trident lined up once and for all at the same time, something that It had not happened in preseason either and only in the Media Day.
However, as if a permanent evil eye were stalking Philadelphia, Paul George He suffered a new hyperextension of his knee and had to go to the locker room after only 17 minutes on the court and not return. The former Clippers signed only 2 points with 1/6 shooting. He rookie Jared McCain showed his face again with 20 points and Guerschon Yabusele He was the best on the bench with 17 points after an impressive 5/6 in triples.
But the shortcomings of these Sixers transcend everything, without this unwanted play of their stars entering and leaving the quintet benefiting their decadent tendency. And he taught little Philly beyond the 2×2 actions of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
Simplicity as an emergency plan to alleviate the crisis or simply lack of solutions on the part of a Nick Nurse against the ropes. The one who made the Raptors champions in 2019 with Marc Gasol y Serge Ibaka On the roster the situation is getting out of hand and as proof of this also Embiid’s reproach in that meeting of not knowing what these Sixers are playing and the players’ request to train harder.
Nurse, on the tightrope
For their part, the Grizzlies continue to successfully survive the decline in Ja Moranteighth in the West with 9-7 and enjoying the step forward of Aldama and also Jaren Jackson Jr, top scorer with 25 points.
Philly heads towards the 25 years without stepping into the Conference Finals and in the worst way, seeing how any team is better from the deep catacombs of the NBA and the East that they were supposed to lead.
