Some tension and trash talk among themselves leading into Game 1 against the Raptors ended up working well for the Sixers.
Harris’ recollection of the week’s practices essentially matched his teammates’ words, even if he did not touch on a nugget of Joel Embiid trash talk that seeped into the five-time All-Star’s media session Thursday. Embiid said he was “locking ass up. And I was talking to him. I was letting him know and he was getting mad.”
“We knew that’s the type of team that they are — scrappy, tall team that has a lot of wings that can go get rebounds," Harris said. “We’ve been drilling it all day at practice. And when we got out there today, that was our emphasis from early in the game. We had to match their physicality and even be more physical than them.”
Maxey’s persistent improvement in his second professional season is remarkable, although the Kentucky product has always been a sound decision-maker. His 7.3 turnover percentage this year ranked in the 93rd percentile for combo guards, per. But that stereotypical, coach’s son knack for being safe with the ball has never bled into visible concern about what might go wrong.
“I”m healthier , that’s first of all,” Embiid said. “I’m more mature in a way where there’s not a lot of things that can frustrate me. In the past, I used to get really frustrated by double teams. Nowadays, it’s like, ‘If that’s what you want to do, I’m going to find other ways to make sure I make the right plays offensively.’ I think I’ve gotten better over the years offensively, too. My game when we played them was much different than it is today.
