I think you completely missed the point he was making.


When your head is so far up your own ass, you tend to.

He's trying to suggest embiid doesn't get to the line in the playoffs like he does in the reg season. Which is completely false as ive already proven. Then backpedals by saying he didn't say that, but that he said he doesn't get gifted free throws as much. Like wut? What kind of argument is this? What are we even arguing about now lol

Embiid's raw PPG production takes a dip in the postseason no doubt, but it has nothing to do with not getting to the line.

Side note

To qualify for the all-time career points per game leaderboard in the Regular Season, players need at least 400 games or 10,000 points.

Luka Doncic has qualified for the all-time list on Monday. His career scoring average is 28.04, third highest (behind Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan).

All-time career ppg average (regular season):

Michael Jordan 30.12
Wilt Chamberlain 30.07
Luka Doncic 28.04
Joel Embiid 27.67
Elgin Baylor 27.36
Kevin Durant 27.35
LeBron James 27.17
Jerry West 27.03
Allen Iverson 26.66
Bob Pettit 26.36

You cherry picked one thing he said. The point is embid is a playoff bitch and a predictable 2nd rd exit. U literally ignored everything else he said.

Ye he misspoke about that 1 point of the 5. Not surprising tho

Again you completely misinterpreted what he said

He said, Embiid isn’t GIFTED the cheap free throws he gets in the regular season. He has to WORK for them, (still gets the same amount), thus lowering his energy levels and making his overall game less efficient

It’s really not that hard to just follow what’s said, if you read clearly and take the time to comprehend each sentence one by one.

And again, that still makes absolutely NO sense. It's the playoffs, there are fewer posessions, more half court play, more physical, better defense, and players shoot worse. Of course he's going to have to work harder for his free throws...just like everyone else. He STILL GETS TO THE LINE JUST AS MUCH

Mf arguing just to argue right now. If it's not one thing it's another for the Embiid haters. 🤣

Irony.

Says the guy that follows me around thread to thread just to argue with people.

FT difference last 2 seasons
11.7 vs 8.9
11.6 vs 9.3

Slight dip? Sorry I’m really bad at Math

FT merchants struggling in the playoffs will always be a thing

That’s why Embiid can’t do anything like Jokic when it matters….

Well he’s simply just not that good in the playoffs. So explain why to me then?
