Embiid isn’t even top 20 anymore after today. That dude is a fraud.
Embiid is such a bum. Take that MVP away he never deserved it
Flyers are officially the 2nd biggest embarrassment in Philly sports.
I would send Embiid to the Warriors. Get Poole, Kuminga and some picks back. Maybe Looney too.
Not gonna lie, I know this is unpopular, but I’d like to see a rebuild now. The core is aging, Harden is most likely going elsewhere. I just don’t know if we can retool again and even if we do I have no faith that we’ll get any farther than we are now.
Don’t be too down, Philly fans. They almost did it.
It’s time to trade who we can, fire Doc, and move on. The Process has failed.
Same old song and dance. Exactly why most people didn’t even watch today because they knew this was going to happen. The criticism for our guys, especially Embiid better be as big and loud as the praise. He never has shown up in the biggest moments come playoff time for us. There are levels to this shit. Great regular season player but always goes way down in the playoffs. The excuse train has to stop for all these guys. They quit every year when shit gets tough, and we’ve been seeing that for years now. Just no toughness from our best players year after year. You gotta make changes. The team follows their stars and Embiid always sulks and pouts when shit gets tough. Whole team followed once again. Doc will be fired, and I honestly don’t think he was all that bad this year or in this series. It gets to a point where I’m not sure what else he can even do when no one wants to hit a shot. Our stars and role players always go missing.
The Sixers are that franchise that wants people to think they’re contenders so bad but in reality, they’re not. Always in that second tier of teams that needs a whole bunch of shit to go their way to realistically make a deep run. I don’t blame anyone who hangs up the Sixers fandom after this one. Everyone has their tipping point with the same bs each year. We as fans, deserve so much better for the stupid shit they’ve made us put up with. When you purposely lose for years, you build a losing culture. All that to not even sniff a conference finals. If you’re going to do that you cannot mess up decisions consistently like they have. As I’ve said plenty of times throughout the years, it’s tough to win when your star is a center who also can’t stay healthy ever. Embiid and all these guys are probably nice human beings but as basketball players they are just gigantic losers.
Blow this whole roster up and create a roster that actually is suited for today’s league. They have a bunch of short, fat, slow, unathletic pieces. There’s no shame in losing in the playoffs if you leave it all out there and bust your ass to the end. They lost to a better team and that’s okay. What’s not okay is what occurred down the stretch of game 6 and the second half of today. They just said fuck it we don’t want to compete and that’s what most of us have an issue with.
Embiid only won mvp because a bunch of fragile black bigots couldn’t stand seeing a white guy dominate “their” sport and that is a fact.
Y’all will be spooky
Hinkie died for nothing
All those years suffering through not tanking, all the draft picks, all the drama just to end up in the same place they would’ve been if they kept Jrue Iggy and Lou Williams
just waiting on the RDCWorld youtube video of doc rivers for the 3 year in a row lololololololol
Quit trusting the process. It’s ain’t working.
Harper and hurts>>>>>>>>>Embiid
Was so invested in every game this season, I need to take a long ass break from sport social media and take a step back next season
What a miserable fucking franchise to be a fan of. Being a Philly sports fan is why I became a Tottenham fan I guess – always decent, but always miserable and we don’t win fucking anything.
Iverson had more heart and toughness than all of those guys combined. It’s like they gave up midway through the third!
How many picks could we get for the reigning MVP? The repeated 2nd round flame outs speak for themselves.
Process 2.0 lets do it
im sad
James harden was ass but philly wouldve gotten swept without him.
Team needs to reload and rebuild
Only word that comes to mind is embarrassing
“This is not a rivalry, they always kick our ass”
Embiid the worst MVP in history of this sport
Fraud of a player, let it be known
