Joel Embiid’s absence vs. the Denver Nuggets ‘doesn’t look good’ | Brother From Another



Joel Embiid’s absence vs. the Denver Nuggets ‘doesn’t look good’ | Brother From Another

I you know I just I don’t know how you feel about it I don’t want to I don’t want to lean one way or the other because I just want to know your thoughts on this here’s Michael Malone nuggets coach we were all looking forward to nuggets Sixers Joker embiid

Here we go it didn’t happen it led to a round of commentary but here’s nuggets coach Michael Malone talking about it we found out very late and and again you know I I don’t know how you go from being active available to out and I’m sure the league will do

Their due diligence and because that’s frowned upon and we’ve had situations this year where we’ve talked to the league and they told us if a player goes from being active to out there’s going to be an investigation so you know I’m sure that’ll happen and I’m sure that

Joell heard his he heard his knee in the Indiana game like that’s real like he watched the game he heard his knee in that Indiana IND game so I’m sure he is hurt but uh it’s just really tough when a player and the team that like us

Preparing for them and then all of a sudden last minute he’s out oh so so so what you what what you saying preacher but make it plain preacher what you saying okay okay we we confused here in the congregation are you saying are you saying that Joel

Embiid is ducking The Joker are you saying that something they knew he was hurt but then they just wanted to make you prepare and waste your time what are you saying and Vinnie Goodwill what are you saying is there a chance that embiid was ducking Joker which seems outrageous

To me but what’s your opinion I mean the numbers are the numbers he has not played in Denver since 2019 and since we on you know movie references today or at least I am Michael Malone being up there you know what he reminded me of you know what he

Reminded me of Michael Holly he reminded me of one of those opening scenes in one of my favorite movies Mo Better Blues where Shadow Henderson was just up there with the sacks and he’s just going and going and going yeah and blee walks to the back and Ley is like what’s up

With your man with these three hour long solos Grand standing it’s your band Michael Malone was that grand standing or was that competition cuz the nuggets are in a dog fight in the Western Conference mind you right they’re in a dog fight to get to that number one seat

They’re third they got a lead frog Oklahoma City and the Minnesota timber Wars who I’m confident that they probably will do if they decide to put their mind to it so you need to get as many wins as you can you don’t have time to be worried about Nico yic being

Ducked by Joel embiid unless unless yeah you know that your guy wanted to get his get back and guaranteed that he was going to get his get back and y’all going to win the game anyway Nicole yic would never say that out loud but he would say that to his

Coach right and I do think there’s an element of you know maybe Joel embiid’s knee flared up in that mile high altitude you know I’m not I’m not a medical expert I don’t know how this stuff works all it’s been flaring up for five years right I mean he ain’t played there

Since 2019 always flare you know you know what you know I look at that you know how I look at that you know how I look at that we crack on Doc Rivers for the 31 things right Doc Rivers when he gets a 3-1 lead y’all know what’s gonna happen each of those

Situations has its own story but the macro doesn’t look good the aggregate doesn’t look good for Jordan be one of those years he had Co I believe he wasn’t going to play in health and safety protocols back in those days when we you know care about

Our health you know what I mean like so you can’t say he was ducking him there I don’t think he caught Co on purpose you know what I mean but when you consider that he hasn’t played there since 2019 when you consider that he’s put up 40o games against joic in Philly and

Then was awall in those games in Denver you’re going to have people asking the questions especially Michael Holly when you consider this Joel embiid is not at the stage not only from a team standpoint or individually where he can afford to miss games because of the 65 game rule he cannot

Continue to miss games he’s four I think he’s like four or five games away from being ineligible for all NBA and eligible for MVP and to make matters even more dire they are tied with the Cleveland Cavaliers for fifth in the Eastern Conference the New York Knicks Leap Frog

Them last night for third so not only can you not afford to miss games for MVP you don’t want to find yourself in the first round not having homecourt advantage or then even if you do get home court advantage in the first round you got to play the Boston Celtics in

Round two and we’ve seen those movies so Joel embiid needs to play not just because he’s valuable to the league but because he’s valuable to his own damn team well speaking of movies we’ll just say goodbye on this since you brought up the Mo Better Blues reference blee gilliams problem was not

Shadow Henderson playing too long that wasn’t his problem with Shadow had a different problem Well’s problem with Shadow well there was the Clark issue you know remember you know Shadow uh Shadow and Clark and uh blee wasn’t down with that I I mean like what what what’s what’s Shadow doing around

Clark he always around Clark and Shadow M Better Blues sh don’t one that movie but blee okay maybe his career ended maybe he walked off the stage in shame he couldn’t play anymore but he became a whole person he became a better person he became a husband he became a

Father he raised a Young musician no Shadow one Mo Better Blues look that was one of the saddest scenes ever watch watching blee try to play that trumpet oh that was sad you still a man blee love you ble I won’t sell it I won’t sell it I won sell it all right

  1. THE TRUTH ABOUT JOEL…..

    Whole NBA knows that MVP last season should have been Jokic…
    He had better EFF(stat that define MVP)he broke 4 all time records throughout that season, took his team to the number 1 spot in conference,and won NBA..
    What NBA did is there "exchanged" the voters, and oupps,all of them NEW VOTERS voted for EMBID…
    And why?
    Well, one month after his MVP,he decides that he is playing for the USA….
    WHAT A COINCIDENCE…
