[Rosen] Nick Nurse says he tried to give @TyreseMaxey , who played 53 minutes (!!) tonight, some rest down the stretch. Tyrese declined. “He really wanted to give us a shot to try to win it. He was determined to help us get a win tonight.”

Thanks Maxey
He’s just that fucking guy
Makes sense. You start going and you know are the team’s only shot to win then there’s no sense in stopping just to lose and waste all the energy you’ve already spent.
Keeping him fresh for the playoffs!
The mans conditioning is on a whole other level. He barely looked gassed in 2OT 😂
Mamba shit.
I guess the question is then what the hell is Nurse doing trying to lose games a week before the playoffs? Embiid, Kyle and Harris are all out and he wants to give another starter rest so that we lose and stay in the play in?
Maxey deserves Tuesday night off I’m not worried about Detroit
Meanwhile last year Doc would tell reporters “it was Maxeys idea to come off the bench”
So refreshing to not have to guess whether our coach is a pathological liar or not.
