Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for November 21st, 2024. Coming up, the Sixers lose another game, this time with their big three on the court. We've got Sam Amick to talk about the behind-the-scenes stuff with the Sixers and the fallout there, and then possible Brooklyn Nets trade. We've got a list of your mailbag questions. We've got Isaiah Hartenstein back. Big show. Big show.
Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Another night has passed in the NBA. And look, I said we weren't necessarily going to panic about the Sixers yet. But man, I think it might be time. Yeah. Tyrese Maxey made his return to the starting lineup to the team. We had the full big three out there and it was a disappointment.
They drop a game to the Grizzlies that they definitely should have won us without John Murray. No John ran out there for the Grizzlies who have been banged up. Even the guys who were on the court for the Grizzlies, Desmond Bain just got back out there. You know, it's just, it's a bad, bad loss for the Sixers.
It's not even bad. It's terrible. It's a terrible loss for the Sixers. Not I mean, the other two are 12, by the way. Right. And there's still three games back of a playoff spot because the which is funny about this whole thing. Yeah. But look, it's terrible for multiple reasons. One, the offense that we talked about last time on the podcast and it being just a disaster continues to be a disaster.
And that was with Joel Embiid having a quote unquote bounce back game. Right. He performed. The box score says that he played better. The numbers were there. He got to the free throw line more often, but still doesn't seem like that effective MVP type of player. Right.
He was in midseason form, though, getting to the free throw line, including shoving Jaron Jackson to the ground. Yeah. and intentionally tripping himself over him at one point. I mean, so the, the, the grift skills look like he's in mid season form, but he looks out of shape. I mean, obviously, which we all expect. So he's ineffective, but as like the offense, they weren't really running anything.
It didn't seem like there was some sort of plan to put these guys in a position to succeed. And, And I know they haven't played together. We're going to talk about the chemistry all year long because it seems like they're going to struggle to be in the lineup together, especially with Paul George. George had to leave the game.
He hyperextended that same left knee that he already had an issue with, although Nick Nurse said after the game. But, you know, we don't know how much we can even believe anything coming out of anyone's mouth there right now. Nick Nurse says after the game that they thought about putting him back in but decided not to.
