Some Joel Embiid Slander

[picc]

Shot 23% from the field in the 4th quarter this series, 11% from 3.

That's what happens when he doesn't get every call and randomly falls down every drive begging for free throws.

Great player though.

Great player though.

There are 4 other Embiid threads on the first page. Just saying …

Not enough tbh.

Make another one then

Rather make another Hov.

I wonder if his foul baiting hurts him at times. When he can easily just score over a guard, his first instinct is to sweep his arms to try to get a foul. He did that a few times against guys nearly a foot shorter than him right under the rim. Just go finish...it was pretty pathetic seeing a guy his size flail all over the place.

[Hatrick Ewing]

I think it's an interesting question to ask if he is a good candidate to be the 2nd best player on a championship team. Respect his playing well hurt. Absolutely do not respect his dirty play. Everyone deserves forgiveness but he should be ashamed and needs to clean that up, and it is really disappointing that the league didn't do anything.

The Sixers are a super interesting team this offseason because it really seems right on the fringe as to what direction they could go in. If they get a Paul George etc you'd have to keep this team together, but if not, how long do you want to hold the fort before Embiid becomes a declining asset and the difference between Maxey and his timelines becomes an issue?

Great player but he’s a loser

[TheFire]

Although he’s supremely talented, he’s a mentally weak player, extremely dirty and reckless at times, and a clear foul baiter. I’ve lost all respect for him after this series.

[Black Jack]

I feel like this Sixers era is salvageable but they REALLY need to put everyone not named Embiid or Maxey on the table, and all assets. That or break this thing up.

Sixers seem to have Warrior / Lacob disease where they want to contend and rebuild simultaneously. Doesn't work!

[itrsteve]

I like that you started with a compliment, ended with a compliment and eviscerated him in the middle

Well done lol

But what will the rest of that Squad getyou in return? Old, overpaid guys, who no one would want on their team. Other than salary dumps maybe

I dunno but from what I see its mainly a wrap and they need a reset. Don't the Sixers have a good amount of picks stashed?

How about going after Durant?

I feel like OG and Siakam were both guys Sixers should have tried to get.

The guy averaged 0.8 rebounds in the fourth against the Knicks.

0.8

Holy ****!!!!!!!!!!! this might be even worse than the 23% shooting in the 4th

0.8

How is that even possible?

[BigGargamel]

Another year of accomplishing absolutely nothing. The injury excuses can only go so far. If you're always "injured" during the playoffs, what is the point of having you around?

The guy has one sham MVP and absolutely no other accomplishments during his decade in the NBA. Even Trae Young has a Conference Finals to his name.

[pontius]

He's a crying, foul-baiting, teammate-blaming, constantly injured, dirty, reckless, mental midget, who shrinks every year when it matters the most.

Great player though.

[Jabroni Lames]

OP is out of line here. Embiid played fantastic in this series.

Nurse deserves most of the slander here. He couldn’t even shut down 5’10” Jalen Brunson, when Knicks have no second option on offense.

[Dubious Handles]

I really thought this would be his year after watching his 70 point masterclass in a meaningless RS game against a tanking Spurs team. Oh well, maybe next year.

[Exp0sed]

And Jalen Brunson foul baiting wasn’t bad? Cocking his head and hitting the sixers defender in the face and got the and 1? You don’t see anything wrong with that? Smaller guys do it all the time.

While I do agree with most of your points. Embiid is injured. Watch him as the game goes on. He doesn’t have a lot of lift in his legs. Pre injure embiid will take those jump shots.

Just not in the cards for him. He pay pretty well. Hart hit the big shot. Props to him. He did it in game 1 and now in game 6. So the Knicks had hart and Donte hit the big 3 in games 2 and 6. Their role players. Brunson scored points but he didn’t hit the most important shots.

no, it isn't even remotely close. Brunson is 6 feet tall, Embiitch is huge and was supposed to be the MVP - big diff

[famicommander]

In the Embiid era, the Sixers are 30-31 in the playoffs when Embiid plays and 5-3 when he doesn't.

You basically admitting smaller guys can sell fouls and you don’t have any issues with it. There are rules in place and it should apply to everyone.

Embiid played pretty well on one leg.

replace maxey with j. murray and 76ers win in 5
