Welcome to the NBA Daily Ding on The Athletic NBA Show.

Ding, ding!

How about we can just watch basketball?

I like that idea.

Welcome to the Daily Ding here on the Athletic NBA show.

I'm Jared Weiss.

He's always Mo DeKeele.

That's Dave Dufour making it sound pretty.

We're going to talk about two powerhouses in the Atlantic Division.

Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics.

Both teams whose offenses are looking pretty good so far in the preseason,

which we all know is 100% real Mo.

But let's talk about Tyresexie because the guy looks like he's taking another league maybe.

Oh, I mean, he's unbelievable.

At this point, you're watching him.

And I think the ultimate takeaway is he's just continuing what he was doing in the playoffs last year,

you know, especially in that Toronto series where I really think he kind of just showed that explosion.

He's taking advantage of the fact that he gets to play on the second side, you know,

with James Hardin and Embed running, picking roles and things like that.

But, Jared, honestly, I think we're going to look back at the end of the season, and we're going to say Tyrese Maxie was the second best player on the Philadelphia 7thixers. You think Joel and B's going to struggle that much to see her? Wow. Wow. It's not even about struggle, though. Like, I know we're kidding here, but it're kidding here, but it's not even about, like, whether James Hardin struggles or whatnot or things like that.

Like, James Hardin has a very different role than what Maxie is going to have, what everybody else is going to have.
