^Sixers

against winning teams only, oops Embiid ducked Boston recently before his soft schedule

Embiid: 30.2/10.9/6.7 on 48fg%
Giannis: 35.3/11.4/4.5 on 61fg%

your thoughts? is the man baby going to appear against any good teams soon or is he ducking Minnesota tomorrow too? prolly not since its a home game, we know he likes to show up against the good teams when its convenient for him




Give us more excuses about home game blah blah blah

Embiid destroying the league. #1 defense in the league? No problem. 50 piece mcnugget.

We all know dude can heat up from mid range for a regular season home game

It’s the fact this dude always misses marquee matchups on the road and always comes up short in the playoffs. He has a top guard and a top coach in the league now. The excuses for him should be 0 this year

Insane mid-range, and like tonight put the ball on the floor a lot and attacked the rim. Nick Nurse has him playing the right way.

He's not dodging anyone though. There's no one that can match his level right now. He's destroying everyone like never before in his career. You're witnessing greatness B)

Incoming third straight scoring title and b2b MVP.

This aged like dog shit lol

Embiid tonight through 3 quarters vs Minnesota (best record in the West and #1 defense in the NBA).

39 pts
10 rebounds.

:rofl:


He needs to play against the actual Chip Contenders & especially easy ones.. That way when the playoffs start he has those battles in his mind.. this is a flaw.

If he wants to push himself for another regular season award he will have his injury excuse like clockwork when the playoffs start

He's actually playing fewer minutes per game than last season, but producing more. Plus, he has sat out the 4th quarter in 40% of his games lol.

There's no real evidence that sitting out games for rest actually prevents injuries anyway. Load management is a thing of the past.

Embiid's playoff injuries in recent years haven't even been related to being overworked though. Just freak accidents like banging knees or getting punched in the face by that fuck in Toronto.

Until proven otherwise, Embiid will have a reputation of getting gassed in the playoffs. Love to blame Simmons for the game 7 stunt, but what accountability was there when Embiid shot 1/12 from the floor in the second half of game 4? Trying to conserve energy no doubt by settling for jumpers. Plenty of evidence to show that Embiids efficiency sinks in the playoffs, he gets so used to getting soft calls all season and then when it doesn’t come in the postseason you can see he is irritated about it

We don't blame Simmons for the game 7 stunt. We blame Simmons for that ENTIRE series.

Also, Embiid gets nearly as many FT attempts per game in the playoffs as he does in the reg season. The pace slows down, so there are naturally fewer possessions, but he still gets there nearly the same rate. That whole "he won't get those calls in the playoffs" belief is such a myth lol.

He also had who as head coach in the past? Nick Nurse actually runs a real offense with off ball movement. Not just ISO and stand around watching.
