These two add up to 100 million, and they don't play as well as a rookie

Who is the most disappointing team since the start of the season, the Bucks and 76ers have been playing this track before today. But with the Bucks struggling to win over the Rockets today, the 76ers are officially the most disappointing team, not one of them.

There are still excuses for injuries at the beginning of the season, but with Embiid and George both on the court, the excuse for injuries is gone, even if Maxey is on the injury list, but you two are getting real money at the top salary.

But after these two returned, the 76ers were also hard to find, Embiid was 0-3 after his comeback, and George was 1-6 after his comeback. Embiid's salary this season is 51.42 million, George's salary this season is 49.21 million, and the two of them together took 100 million from the 76ers, but they didn't play as well as a rookie in two consecutive games.

In the last game against the Magic, the 76ers scored only 86 points as a team, and No. 16 pick McCain scored 29 points alone. George scored 13 points on 4-of-15 shooting, Embiid scored 20 points on 5-of-15 shooting and 0-of-5 three-pointers, 10 of which came from the free-throw line.

Today's loss to the Heat, the 76ers played a climax in the second quarter led by McCain's consecutive scores, leading by 19 points at one point. But Butler led the Heat to quickly close the score, and in the second half, it completely turned into a one-sided abuse by the Heat, and the 76ers had no resistance, playing from a 19-point lead to a 17-point loss in the end.

Today's top scorer was still McCain, who scored 20 points on 8-of-16 shooting and 4-of-9 three-pointers, and if it weren't for McCain's outburst in the second quarter, the 76ers would have gone into garbage time sooner. The rookie quickly rose to the top after Maxey's injury, scoring 20+ points in five consecutive games and striding all the way to the best rookie.

McCain's confidence in the game is getting more and more, on the other hand, the two top paid big brothers are playing worse and worse. Today, George was 5 of 13, 1 of 7 three-pointers and got 18 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 3 turnovers.

Speaking from the heart, except for the three points that are too bad, George is okay. It's just that George himself is a player who needs to rely on a lot of three-point shots to support his scoring output, and without three-point output, scoring is naturally very difficult.

After Maxey's injury, George had to take on the ball again, and 76 made him play point forward, and everyone knows that after all these years. It's okay to let George hold the ball occasionally, let him play like this for the whole game, he can't play.

George is currently playing in seven games, averaging 16.7 points per game while shooting 39.6 percent from the field and 28.8 percent from three-point range. In just seven games, George's 1-of-7 shooting wasn't the worst three-point performance, as he also shot 1-of-9 and 0-of-6, respectively. Except for one 29-point game, there were no 20+ in any other game.

As for the other, it is even more heavyweight. Today's 76ers are obviously not back-to-back, but Embiid acts like he doesn't want to play at all. Although the Heat are also packing a lot, Embiid's desire to attack is as low as it gets.

A very rare statistic, Embiid did not make a single free throw in the whole game, which is the first time in more than 6 years that Embiid has played more than 20 minutes in a single game, but made 0 free throws. No free throws means no aggression, and with Embiid's ability and skill, it's not hard to get to them.

You say he doesn't have a strong desire to attack, in the garbage time at the end of the game, Embiid came up and hit a few, and finally broke through the single digits in scoring. He finished with 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting and 1-of-3 three-pointers in the game, with a plus/minus of -22.

Embiid plays like, you wrap me up, I'll pass it out, it's none of my business if my teammates can't shoot. There was a round when the 76ers sent the sideline ball, and Embiid stood directly in the middle line position, and he didn't receive the ball, so he didn't go inside anyway.

I'm used to Embiid at the three-point line, as long as he shoots from mid-to-long range. But the problem is that in the three games after Embiid's return, there was no big killer in the middle of last season, and he only made three mid-range shots in three games. Three-pointers were 2-of-13.

I don't know if it's because the injury is not good, or if the physical condition is not at its best, Embiid played soft and weak all over the court. The 76ers missed 49 of 84 shooting on 35-of-84 shooting today, but only grabbed two offensive rebounds, and the team scored 0 points on the second offense.

In the three games after his comeback, Embiid played an average of 30.1 minutes per game, scoring 14.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, shooting 32.4% from the field and 15.4% from three-point range. Seriously, if you don't want to fight, there's no need to force yourself at all.

The Lakers started 2-10 and finally reached the Western Conference finals, and there were too many unexpected factors in the middle. And now the 76ers, starting 2-11, Maxey's comeback time is undecided, the state of the two top-paid big brothers has not been found for a long time, and there is almost no hope of qualitative change through trading in the future, and it is too difficult to reproduce the Lakers-style miracle.

Of course, the 76ers have another way to choose, and their 2025 draft pick, which was traded to the Thunder when they dumped Horford's big contract, is protected by the top six picks. In other words, if the top six picks are drawn, this draft pick will still be 76ers, and next year will still be a draft year.

Of course, this is just talking, if you sit on the "Big Three" and choose to put it badly, this 76ers will really be ridiculous.
