You have the weirdest takes with this free throw thing, as if it's a bad thing. That's like saying the best teams in the league are too reliant on scoring more points than the other team to win games lol.

More free throws = a good thing

Free throws are a result of being fouled.

Being fouled = defense could not properly defend you, therefore resorting to defending aggressively and needing to foul to prevent a bucket.

We are spoiled watching a generational talent, and one of the most talented bigs to ever lace em up. He's a 7'1'' center who can play like a wing, face up, and shoot faders with the best of em. His footwork is unbelievable. He drops 30+ literally every single game (every game in March - except for the Bulls game where they benched him at half because of blowout) over double and triple teams nightly.

If he was on the Celtics you'd be walking around with an erection 24/7. Unfortunately for you, you'll never know what it's like to have a talent like this, or what it's like to have an MVP caliber player. ;)

Unfortunately for you, you won’t ever know what it’s like to get past the second round :)

Plays like a wing lolol

He’s a big man… nothing else. Let’s not try and sound too cute


You talk as if he's some slow footed back to the basket big man just using size/strength to dunk on guys, set screens, and get rebounds :rofl:

A big man that faces up, takes players off the dribble, and shoots among the best in the league. There's nobody like him. Jokic is insanely skilled, but he's not the athlete that Embiid is.

I would normally agree, but Embiids fouls are debatable at best. Most of them are flops or at minimum exaggerating contact. It hasn’t really worked for the 76ers this far into his career, I can’t see how far it will get them with this Play style.


It has worked pretty well considering he has finished 2nd in MVP voting the past two seasons, and is the favorite this season lol.

Not to mention he's going to win his second straight scoring title.

He gets torched on the perimeter

Basically a Gobert when he’s drawn away from the basket.

lol???

I swear sometimes you've never actually watched Embiid play.

Comparing Embiid's perimeter footwork and lateral quickness to Gobert is just...yeah, no words. Then again you thought Embiid couldn't go coast to coast, face up, or handle the rock. :wallbash:

I think you watch too much of a stiff like Rob. Not used to seeing a real talented big man.

Complete cringe for one of the biggest bitches and cry babies in the nba.

Also bitch ass sitting vs jokic in the mvp matchup. Giant pussy, make sense why he hasn't been able to get out of the 2nd.

Yeah, because he's so scared of Jokic. LOL. Stop making their h2h matchup seem like a rivalry, Embiid shits on that slow pale slug.

Nobody dodging shit. Embiid doesn't care about regular season awards as much as Jokic does. Jokic chases them.
