The Maxey-Edgecombe backcourt is ushering in an era of joy
The Sixers are undefeated and playing entertaining basketball every night. The biggest reason: the backcourt of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe.

Who knows what happens the rest of the season. No need to overanalyze roles or touches or minutes. Enjoy the ride right now.
Important to note this is NOT the knee Embiid had his most recent procedures on. We'll wait to get more clarity.
Joel Embiid (right knee soreness) is now OUT tonight vs. the Celtics, per Sixers. He's being evaluated by team doctors and the team will provide further updates when appropriate.

These people legitimately have psychosis from using too much AI. It's obvious. This is a man who needs serious help.

Nick Nurse said Jared McCain was available tonight and there were scenarios where he might use him but those scenarios did not play out. He will be available tomorrow.

Scottie Barners fouls out, much to the delight of the crowd (and Joel Embiid).

Super impressive close from Edgecombe. Has scuffled offensively the last few games, but he's been huge down the stretch here. Again, just speaks to the type of player he is.

A couple very timely buckets from VJ Edgecombe. Raptors not going away as they bury yet another three. Joel Embiid set to check back in with the Sixers up 119-116 with 3:16 left.

The three-ball is keeping Toronto in it. The Raptors are shooting 46.9% from deep, Sixers at just 28.6%.

Welp, the Sixers were going to win a third quarter. A couple more Raptors threes (they're 14-of-29 now) and some sloppy play by the home team changed that. Sixers clinging to a four-point lead heading to the fourth.

OK so Joel Embiid is just having fun now.

Tyrese Maxey and Trendon Watford are best friends and they're playing that way ... if that makes sense?

That'll help.
Sixers' offensive process has been really good, but they still need to find a way to get VJ Edgecombe going a bit. He's too good to disappear offensively.

Raptors cool off a bit (ONLY shooting 11-of-18 from three) and the Sixers are up 68-63 at halftime. Trendon Watford has been super impressive in his first start as a Sixer with 11 points, 8 boards and 6 assists.

Considering the Raptors are 10-of-12 from three to start the game, the Sixers have done well to keep it close. It's 54-48 with 7:18 left in the second.

Collin Murray-Boyles has basically wrecked this game defensively and he keeps getting to the line. Impressive stuff from the rookie.

Another first quarter where the Sixers give up a 40-spot. They were not good defensively, but it doesn't help that Toronto is 8-of-10 from three.

Hell of a start for Trendon Watford. He's been aggressive and he's playing hard.

I enjoy that Joel Embiid is "7-2" again, per the intros.
