I obviously don't disagree with anything in this column, I'm just not impressed by this anymore. Sure, it can be interesting to watch a player lose their touch, then "see one go in" and go on a tear. But it feels like Maxey does this all of the time now. It's no longer entertaining to watch him score seven points in the first half and 30 in the second. He's being asked to keep us afloat while the other stars are out, whether he can do that is still up in the air. He's an all-star in his fifth year, I don't think we should be giving him flowers for putting up this type of game against a bad defense in the first week of the season. This is what he's supposed to be doing.
