I stood to win a grip X-Mas night live betting 76ers to win when they were way down but alas it wasn't meant to be. Tonight Philly is yet again w/out Embiid and now his mates are 0-4 SU without him in the lineup this season. I've got to think that weighs heavy on Maxey as this is his team when the big fella sits. When Embiid sat last year Maxey had Harden as backup, now it's all him and he probably like it that way. In these instances last 2 seasons Maxey had career games. Also, coming off that dreadful performance in Miami I have to think Maxey is fired up to get that out of his memory. I believe this is a great spot for Maxey to take charge against Orl on a b2b and very thin bench. 2 chick refs always default to marquee team and we got 2 tonight, very rare for a ref crew these days.
