76ers Win an OT Thriller on Sunday! Pistons visits Philly Tonight
The Sixers did a wonderful job on Sunday in healing my wounds after watching the train wreck that is the Titans. The Sixers played really well in their first win of the season!

Well I suppose the defense could have been a bit better considering the game had to go to overtime, but oh well. The team really fought and I was impressed! They seemed to have urgency and focus. I LOVE watching Tyrese Maxey play. No joke, he is slowly making me wonder who exactly the best player is on the team.... Joel is surely a beast. But the man ain't on the court and Maxey is improving daily it seems! More power to the Sixers though!
Maxey dropped 45 points on Sunday in a really sort of majestic, effortless manner.

The guy glides all over the court with ease and good strength as well. I feel like his potential is sky high and the whole team loves him. The Sixers really may have found themselves a guy and unless some other unforeseen event occurs in his career, I would love Maxey to be in Philly for his whole career.
The win on Sunday helped ease my worries about this team in a big way. The Pacers are a good legit playoff team even though they're struggling a little. The Sixers got the win again, without Embiid and George. This suggests the Sixers could be seriously good as long as they get their on-court chemistry strong. Speaking of Embiid, his injury is clearly not that serious since the Sixers were just fined $100,000 for not being more transparent about his injury. Yikes. That situation is only getting weirder I tell ya! But glad he will be good this year, hopefully for the playoffs.
Tonight the Sixers will be seeing the winless Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are not too great but they are desperate for a win and Cade Cunningham is an intriguing prospect and I am curious to see how he plays live as long as he doesn't cook the Sixers LOL.
It is poetic that another Detroit team plays another favorite team of mine in a different sport. Maybe the Sixers can help provide some roundabout revenge LOL.
