McCain is him

 

[Jack Straw]

The Sixers may be a dumpster fire but I’m still stunned at how good McCain is.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

We are back, baby!

 

[CutOnDime97]

Enough with this camera angle

[Embiid]

Maxey and McCain inflictin' pain...

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

I thought you guys said the Sixers suck? Seemed fine in the half game I just watched.

They “flipped the switch” tonight.

 

[DancingPanther]

First regulation win!! A thanksgiving miracle!

 

[FLYguy3911]

Still early but McCain and Maxey outside of the lottery is nutty and should yield great results if the rest of the house doesn't burn down in typical Sixers' fashion.

Tbf they have been respectable in first halves this year. Shit usually hits the fan in the second half. So depending on which half of the game you catch, your opinion could be much different.

 

[Embiid]

Maxey and McCain oooze so much positivity and self confidence ...

We need it considering Embiid has been "mopey" bc of that knee and the coaching and PG has been "gimpy" with his bruises...

McCain is shooting 55% at the rim. I am stunned. He's small and not explosive for an NBA Guard.

Yup.

Perhaps some improvement to the mean after several disastrous high lottery picks in recent history.

Yeah but he missed his first free throw since March 22nd tonight.

 

[Magua]

I’ve watched almost every game because I’m sick in the head. Surely, if I can watch a contender go up in flames for the privilege of watching a 16th overall unathletic guard, I can watch the other team in the WFC be a bottom feeder with an unathletic rookie wing.

In-game adjustments. Had some bad handles in the paint early, trouble driving. Maybe they schemed stuff too, but he just broke them down eventually by threatening at all 3 levels. As soon as Maxey caught fire in the 3rd, their synergy was beaut-e-ful.

Has Gordon made a shot yet this year? A layup? Anything?

He should be sent to the gulag just for chunking McCain’s highlight reel pass. Glass half full, he gets some good looks. I’d play him over Lowry in the Battle of the Chonk, but that’s not high praise.

[Hollywood Cannon]

Asking Santa for a McCain jersey.

Can’t even buy one thanks to Fanatics not having the capability of having a small “c”.

Same issue with DeJean.

Duh that’s why I’m asking Santa.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Ben Simmons was -20 and a big help.

Even Santa can’t get around Rubin’s stranglehold.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Ben Simmons was -20 and a big help.

It's just sad at this point

 

[Jack Straw]

It's just sad at this point

At this point it looks sad for both Simmons and Embiid. What might have been…

 

[Magua]

“Well, when you look at our guards, you have it right. I think Jared McCain is gonna be a great player, and he’s someone we considered strongly. But with Maxey, Dowtin, Lowry – at some point, it gets tough to go with the smaller guy. But he’s a fantastic player.”

Even Santa can’t get around Rubin’s stranglehold.

Santa actually just signed a 10 year partnership deal with Fanatics.

Yea I was mostly joking. I haven't watched more than bits and pieces so far, but McCain has been impressive in my limited views.
