You’ve probably heard of Maxey’s early-morning workout regimen. That began during the pandemic, when he was in a seemingly endless stretch of workouts before the 2020 draft.
When Maxey learned Rajon Rondo got to the gym at 5:30am, he said, “I’m there.”

Instant observations: Sixers redefine quitting in gutless loss to Knicks - PHLY Sports
The Sixers decided that they didn't need to show up for their matchup with the Knicks to close out the first half of the NBA season. Good job, Nick Nurse!

Only four quarterbacks have come back to win a Super Bowl after losing their first SB start — and only one in the modern era (Hurts).
The greatest lie a team tells itself is that there is always next year. Plenty broke right for the Pats this year. It will be tough to return

Drake Maye is gonna finish with an all-time misleading stat line.
His overall numbers don't look bad... but anyone watching this game knows what happened.

I’m told that while retirement has been discussed, many close to Travis Kelce believe he could return for a 14th season. The future Hall of Famer has yet to make a final decision about his future.

Seems like a bad move that the Sixers traded McCain thinking there was another deal to be had. Dont you need to know that before you make your team worse? Maybe Im wrong here.
Daryl Morey says the Sixers were trying to upgrade their roster at this year’s deadline, and part of the Jared McCain trade was rooted in “reusing” the draft picks they acquired to bolster their team. “Nothing materialized.”

The Sixers were playing their third game in four nights out West and four of their starters played nearly 40 minutes. Seems like a team that could use a little depth.

If only the Sixers had a young guard off the bench who might have been able to help with this problem... oh well
The Lakers are outscoring the Sixers 57-14 on bench points, by the way.
Even if you take away all 33 of Austin Reaves' points, the Lakers bench is still outscoring the Sixers bench 24-14.

4 are teams that are in excellent positions as is and should feel really good.
The other 2 are the Sixers and Toronto Raptors.

Last week, Joel Embiid pleaded with the Sixers owners not to make the team worse by ducking the tax.
The Sixers proceeded to dump Jared McCain and Eric Gordon for one 1st, three 2nds, a 2nd-round pick swap and zero players.
BUT AT LEAST THEY DUCKED THE TAX AGAIN WOOT WOOT

The Sixers have a gift that few teams get - stars who do not apply public pressure.
They rewarded that with a fourth consecutive season of cutting costs.
