Tyrese Maxey's game kinda reminds me of Tony Parker but with more more shooting range and athleticism and Parker had a great feel and IQ for the game too which is something Maxey has as well. Maxey has the potential to be a much better defender than Parker was.

That's 3 more rings and 1 more finals MVP than most NBA players ever get.

[@ashenafiwolde8982]

It is playoffs. You don't foul. You play good defense. If you foul, it is a potential four point swing. What if Sixers made the first free throw, missed the second on purpose, got the rebound, kicked it out and hit three like Ray Allen heat vs. Suprs Nba Finals? I can not believe they call themselieves basketball analisits. In playoff, You can not cheat the game. You always play good defense. There is 15 seconds left. You are up by 3. Why would you foul? In this season, no team fouled when they were up by 3. They all played good defense. Some won. Some went to overtime. You do not foul... especially when you are playing at home. If the game goes to overtime, you still have the fans to make some noise.
