Embiid does play hard though, most of the time. He puts his body on the line which we kind of do but don't want lol



Yeah this is true—he does. I feel like guys of his size can’t play like that though—much easier for a guy like wall to get by with it(until he doesn’t)

According to 97.5 midday show (Gargano's sources), Embiid's injury is not considered serious. Could sit a few more (or all) of the seeding games for precaution.

Hope this is true.

dm said it right the other night in a thread, embiid plays hard, love to see it

but he takes unnecessary risks almost every game
diving all over the place, hitting the deck

he's gotta preserve himself, he was supposedly in amazing shape for the bubble, meanwhile what 5 games in he goes down? right after ben

Kind hope he can get back to get at least some action before the regular season ends. These guys need to play together as much as possible to get chemistry going with Ben out, the rotation is looking all different.

Sixers get to hand the Suns (5-0 in the bubble) their first bubble loss, without Simmons or Embiid.

Watch it happen lol

Suns are playing as we type. So they'll be on a back to back tomorrow. They're fighting tooth and nail to make the playin game. Your precious Sixers could learn something from them.

Remind me again, what reason do the Sixers have to fight "tooth and nail" right now? They have nothing to play for until the playoffs lol.

Seeding means jack shit in the bubble anyway, they're locked in where they are at worst, they're actually in the preferred position matched up with Boston. It's much better than facing the Heat (who match up much better) in the first round. They're 1 game back from the 4th seed and 5th seed, but either way that would probably pit them against Miami in the first which would be dumb.
