U got to be fucking kidding me.
This dude is gonna end up out of the league
I know that the whole 'Miami Heat culture' might be hard for ever player to adhere to, but this dummy is working his way out of the league right now.
He's probably done in Miami. Especially with Herro stepping up to replace him in the offense. I just wonder if any other team will want to bother with him after this year.
Embiid is leading the league in points in the post
:angry: he should be leading the league in that department by a WIDE margin. Look at Harden and Giannis breaking records left and right this season. If Embiid started down low all the time, he could be breaking some post play records and have his name deep in the MVP conversation.
 
It's so fuckin stupid. It really is. Now, to the contrary, you see what happens when he stays his fuckin ass down low right? He absolutely dominates. He's either gonna go to the line, get an easy basket in the paint, kick out to an open shooter on the double, or bounce pass it to a slasher to the rim depending on which direction the double team comes from. It's so simple yet the Sixers are their own worst enemy when they make their offense harder by designing plays with him handling the ball at the top of the key. That's where the majority of his turnovers comes from. It's up to Brett Brown as a head coach to correct this. He has to understand a championship was lost last year due to this bullshit cause I believe we would have beaten Milwaukee in the east finals. Embiid has to stay his ass on the block. If he plays like he played in Boston Sixers will get to the finals. Milwaukee won't have an answer for him. I'm glad Shaq and Charles got on him about his passive bullshit and told him be aggressive. Want to be great. He did a good job of receiving the message and listening to them.

Man. Problem is the 7 footers like KD, Dirk, Garnett, and the Greek Freak got this cat thinking he can be like them. I bet that's in his head big time. It's like he equates being in the post with being a clumsy goon. Fuck that shit. Go eat like Shaq did. Joel dominates down low.

Fuck watching these 7 footers on the wing, go dig up the tapes of Shaq and Hakeem. Shit, if you want to be wing so bad, do some Hakeem moves down low.

And yeah, this coaching. Coach needs to sit down with the owner and GM and show them tapes of this constant dumb shit so they have his complete back on the ensuing beef. Because you need to exert some type of influence over Joel and have the back of folks up top.
 
This week the Sixers beat 3 playoff bound teams - Celtics, Raptors, and Nuggets. The real test will come when they play the Bucs, Clips, and Lakers. So far this team is winning games (13-0 at home). They aren't perfect, but as long as they win I don't care.

Exactly. He acts like its taboo to work in the paint. The influence of these 3 point shots got him thinking he needs to be out there too. Its destroying his chances of getting a championship. I'm glad he talked to Shaq about it. Hopefully from here on out he stays in the block and just bust people's ass there. He can average 30 points a game easily with free throws if he stays on the post. Joel is the only one that can stop him.

The Bucks really don't match up well against us. I think we can beat them in a series. Celtics are gonna fall off. Raptors will hang in the top 4. I think the Pacers will be there as well. They can give us problems.

Of the top teams in the East,
  1. Bucks: I think we match well with them and should be able to take them in a 7 game series.
  2. Celtics: Tatum scares me. I don't see the Celtics as a whole being better than us, but I see greatness in Tatum. I could see him going super sayian one day and carrying a team to a ring.
  3. Heat: We'd probably take them in 7, but you can't sleep of them. Especially with how good they are on the offensive end this year. True team ball.
  4. Raptors: Nick Nurse is a hell of a coach. He seems to specialize in taking the other team's star player out of his comfort zone. They just did it to Embiid bout a week ago.

Don't forget about Indiana. Myles Turner's ability to play away from the basketball and take Embiid with him allows Oladipo to get to the basket. It's a formula Nate McMillan has used very well against us. Against them I'm thinking Richardson has to play a little less and put Thybulle on Victor.

Harden scored 109 points his last 2 games averaging 54 points. He only shot 11 free throws total those games so let's cats can't say he shoot 20 free throws a game. Dude is unreal offensively.
 
I just watched Fultz play for the 1st time this year with Orlando & man I see why ya'll got rid of him :smh:.

Dude looks completely lost out there, and still no confidence in his shot.
Two years he will be out of the league. 4 years from now it will be a 30 for 30 on his ass. :smh:

yea he’s a fucking beast, I love it when we as humans are in full control
sports wise
 
I wouldn't doubt it, it's kinda sad because his game in college was made for the NBA. I remember some scouts even compared him to Harden coming out of Washington.
Yup. But the reality of is you never know what these guys are gonna do at the next level. People said Thybulle couldn't shoot which is why he fell to the Sixers in the late 1st round. Dude is shooting 60% from the 3. You just never know. :dunno:
