I agree. Embiid started off hot (first 8 points for the 76ers), but then the rest of the team started to stand around waiting for him to score every time.I dunno if the sixers would have won but embiid being back slows the team down they play faster without him

embiid is a 200+million dollar/hell when he is well/liability. Sure he's dropped 70 twice in his career..hell shaq never did that. But as talented as he is when he's not injured...at this point even well he's not a benefit to the team. Theyve learned to win without him. They keep loading up on 3s and gaurds when they need to concentrate on looking for his direct replacement. Either a diamond in the ruff being overlooked in the G-league or a scruffy Jokić from europe..someone with real potential and better health.I agree.

Fuck!![]()
I'm honestly thinking that the Sixer offense flows better without Embiid. At this point, they have to run specific plays for Embiid to get him ball and a half decent defense can see them shits coming from a mile away.
In a 7 game series, Embiid has become a liability. The 76ers are better off running this series thru VJ & Maxey. With those two at the head of the offense, the 76ers at least have a chance.
I still hate losing to the Leprechauns in the playoffs, but these games have at least been close and fun to watch.
I think Embiid throwing off the chemistry.

victor's had a great season but i'll be shocked if he win mvp. of course a little bias lol. anyway sga has played more games , more minutes, scored more points , better scoring average has taken more shots than wemby and the main one ...has a better fg percentage than him. dudes scoring 31 a game shooting... 55 percent from the field. Only other guard with similar numbers was Jordan.
I'll also be shocked if Victor wins, but I believe that he deserves it. Him being healthy is a large part as to why they have the second best record in the league.
2 games behind OKC.
I'm not biased, I like both Shai and Wemby.
Everything you said's correct about Shai and his scoring. He averages 6 more points than Wemby, but Wemby averages 7 more rebounds which is 7 more possessions and 7 more chances to score.
And he's DPOY anchoring and controlling the other end of the floor.
I'm just saying that it shouldn't be a landslide and automatic win for SGA.
By all the advance analytics SGA might win, but I personally fucking hate analytics. I still like going by the eyeball test, and by the marker I'm hoping for a Wemby MVP.i'm biased....but i like Wemby. he's been great, love his heart and drive....no problem with wanting to be the face of the nba. it definitely won't be a landslide but if he was to win....it would be well deserved for him.
They have to 2028 in embiids contract..it's clear they dont want to or can't trade him not player for player..so they need to use their draft picks to bring in a true center and be honest with Joel and use him as a mentor to groom his replacement for the remainder of his contract. Its the least he could do considering he's only played 5 of the 10 years he's been on the team.I'm honestly thinking that the Sixer offense flows better without Embiid.

Come on Bronny you're down by 20
I was actually rooting for Bronny last night too and he was scared to shoot when the game was actually a game

You are 1000% on point. The 76ers started to play half-court offense celtics will eat that up on defense. Game 3 it was the speed of VJ and Maxey killing the Celtics on offense with cuts and quick passes from cuts out to the wide open people for 3 pointers. That did not happen in game 4, the 76ers turned into a one-man half court team in game 4This is exactly what I was afraid of after Game 3. The entire team had to slow down in order to incorporate Embiid into the offense. They had this same problem all season. The team would get a few impressive wins with Maxey & VJ building up chemistry as a fast paced backcourt duo.
Then Embiid would be cleared to play a game or two and the team would look noticeable slower with him in the lineup.
If you were scared to shoot the ball during the second quarter but want to make a shot and then point in the 4th during garbage time you look even more ridiculous because you're being laughed at for celebrating during garbage time..lolTo be fair, when an opposing player shoots a 3 in front of of the other team's bench. The bench is usually yelling and talking shit.
Which is most likely what happened when Bronny shot.
So no matter how much you're down, if someone's screaming "You missed it bitch".
You're kinda gonna have the same reaction as Bronny![]()
You didn't get it.If you were scared to shoot the ball during the second quarter but want to make a shot and then point in the 4th during garbage time you look even more ridiculous because you're being laughed at for celebrating during garbage time..lol
