With a star-studded roster featuring players like Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, and LeBron James, the 76ers’ sheer potential led to them being considered a “juggernaut.” Unfortunately, when pairing superstars together, the growing pains are inevitable.Philadelphia’s hot start to the season came to a grinding halt following their matchup against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night. After a blowout 123-101 loss at the hands of the Celtics at home, the 76ers’ offensive shortcomings became apparent.During his postgame media availability, 76ers superstar Tyrese Maxey was asked about the team’s poor scoring production, noting their 33-79 FG and 11-37 3PT FG on Tuesday night. While acknowledging the initial adjustment issues, Maxey opened up about the challenges on the offensive end, stating:“I think just trying to figure it out. It is a little different for everybody. Every five starters that we have are playing a different role than they played last year, and some of them probably ever. I think for myself it’s a little bit easier because I’ve had to do this before, you know what I mean.” “I’m probably the only starter here that’s had to do this before, as far as just figuring it out with different groups and different things like that. I did it with James; I did it with Ben. I did it when James left and James came back. Bron’s here. I’m just kind of used to it.”Tyrese Maxey’s outlook on playing a supporting role comes from firsthand experience. Although he is undoubtedly one of the most electrifying scorers in the league, a fact supported by Tuesday’s performance of 24 points on 8-12 shooting from the field against the Celtics, Maxey’s ability to alternate between being a primary and secondary scoring option is remarkable.Unfortunately, this doesn’t necessarily apply to some of the other core players.Having been the face of the 76ers for the better part of the decade, Joel Embiid has made a name for himself as a primary scoring option. Similarly, Jaylen Brown’s ability to carry teams even in the absence of a secondary superstar was put on display last season.Apart from these two, the 76ers also feature the NBA’s all-time leading scorer in LeBron James. However, the 41-year-old has looked more comfortable in a supporting role than his superstar teammates.“I think we’re all trying to adapt and figure it out. I mean, it’s going to take time. But thankfully, our defense has been pretty good to overcome and save that. And I think we’re going to continue to defend. We didn’t defend great tonight, but we continue to defend and compete and try to keep winning
