[AJ Torres] Was not expecting Joel Embiid to say “or anywhere else” when talking about championships… He’s close to his breaking point here in Philly.

Not the way i wanted to start the week.
This offseason has been disastrous. ANOTHER choke job; ANOTHER loss to the C’s in the 2nd round, lost our quality FAs for nothing, didn’t sign anyone, probably gonna have to bring back Harden only with a worse, shallower roster. Just horrendous.
Its so over fuck josh harris for wasting three years of Jos career with cock rivers
What’s the problem? He’s just being realistic. It’s been 8 years and we haven’t even reached the finals, let alone the eastern conference finals.
He knows this run is just about over. I’d even bet it’s over if we don’t get over the hump this season.
I’m not going to overreact to this comment tbh … Biid has the right to show frustration and throw shades here and there to motivate Morey and the F.O … and in saying that Biid let us down in the playoffs .. didn’t turn up when it counted on the big stage .. needs to take responsibility also .. as true leaders do .. this is going to be a long fucking offseason .. being a nba fan is like no other sport fandom man .. especially being a Philly fan 😂😂😂… this shit is more than the game it’s like living inside a drama packed movie .. fucking ages you and fucks with every damn emotion .. ahhh we’re all some sick demented MFs who love pain .. and we wouldn’t have it any other way .. so FTC … fuck them cunts .. and fuck anyone against us .. it’s unite or die .. TTP .. whatever our roster looks like on game day 1 .. I’ll have a beer in hand screaming FTC ..
Lol at you guys pretending like he isn’t a big part of why we haven’t won shit.
I’m tired of this organization from top to bottom. Blow it up. And spare me the “but Nick nurse is Phil Jackson!1” stuff.
Embiid is like the 3-5th longest tenured player in the league and I think the longest for a star without a ring, I wouldn’t blame him if he wanted to go
Embiid shouldn’t be at his breaking point he’s the main reason along with harden they lost this postseason.
It’s so funny all that morey worship and embiid is about to ask out under his watch🤣.
Hypothetically where would he even go? Heat already got Lillard on lock, thunder ain’t winning shit wit him
This is my 13th reason
Dude has been sick, injured, or choked in every playoff run he’s had. Give me a break. We all saw your game 7…
That’s fine he should be.
Maybe he should show up in a game 7 if he wants a championship that bad.
Look i understand how shitty this situation is, but it’s over y’all. Trade him and reboot.
Knicks baby
Don’t blame him. He’s not winning anything here so may as well leave
Lame but quite typical of this generation – pampered and looking for the easiest path
This isn’t a good look on his part. Not even the part about Philly or somewhere else, the dude still isn’t taking real accountability that his playoff performances are a big reason we don’t have a title with him. Keeps talking about what he needs around him, that’s not why he chokes and plays too much hero ball late in the playoffs every year.
Bill Simmons is j***ing off hearing this- gonna have an emergency pod
Would be an all time shitty move if he asked out on the basis that we haven’t won. Primarily because he hasn’t played up to par in the playoffs himself and we need him to play like an MVP if we want to win.
Maybe he needs to stop choking then
This isn’t a Luka situation where he’s dropping 40 bombs against really good teams, dude hasn’t earned the right to have that “they didn’t build around me properly mentality”
Don’t let the door hit you on your ass on the way out. Seriously, he’s to blame for not making it to the finals, more than Doc, Ben, Harden, Tobi, Brett, etc. The common factor is Embiid getting hurt in the playoffs. He needs to take some fucking accountability. That’s why he’s not a leader. That’s why he’s not a winner.
Nothing like disappearing in a game 7 and then being resentful.
