The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics are facing off in the Eastern Conference Finals, and against all odds, the 8th-seed Heat has taken a commanding 3-0 lead.
The Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers to make it to this stage in the playoffs, but they have had no answer for Miami. And Sixers star Tyrese Maxey is feeling the frustration of watching the team that beat them lose in this fashion.
“I can watch the WCF soooo peacefully. But as soon at the ECF Game start I want to throw something at my TV!” Maxey tweeted along with a GIF captioned, ‘Sore loser.’

The frustration is understandable, the Sixers will feel like they might have given the Heat a tougher fight if they had gotten to the next round. However, that is easier said than done. Miami has been the underdog for their entire playoff run so far, but they have played with determination and dismantled the teams that are all considered to be better than them. There’s no reason to expect that it would be any different with the Sixers as their opponents.
Tyrese Maxey has been emerging as a star for the franchise, and his continued growth is one of the few bright spots for Philly. With James Harden’s future looking uncertain, Maxey will be expected to blossom into a proper star moving forward. The Sixers will be heading in a new direction after firing Head Coach Doc Rivers, and the goal will be to at least make it to the Conference Finals next season.
Tyrese Maxey Could Get A $200 Million Contract
Tyrese Maxey averaged 20.3 points per game this season. He is just 22 years old, meaning he could blossom into a perennial All-Star moving forward. If that does happen, it will be a godsend for the Sixers in terms of having a co-star for Joel Embiid, but they might need to pay a premium for it.
According to reports, Tyrese Maxey could be heading for a 5-year, $200 million contract extension. He is entering the final year of his contract in 2023-24, and he will be a restricted free agent after next season. However, the Sixers might pay big money to lock him down before that. The proposed deal seems like a lot of money, but it might work out in the long run if he can continue his current growth.
