Embiid gots to play. With his injury risk even if he's not at his peak tomorrow is not guaranteed. He can't wait.
Bro Jrue literally shoved homie into Tatum, how bout we blame Jrue
How does NO ONE see Jrue pushed Caleb in the back?!?!
(posted before he said it) Greeny only person I seen mentioned it.
Embiid literally missed the first two years of his career bc of injuries. He’s not going to magically become a healthy durable player. I believe his championship window has closed, at least on my favorite team smh.
Caleb pushed by holiday
Embiid is risking losing next season just to make Philly fans have a little hope to maybe get into the 2nd round, if he tears something and misses next year then his prime is 100% over at 32. Get him right, get him on the Jokic line of play in the regular season but stay healthy for the playoffs, and hope he doesn't flop to the hardwood that causes most of his injuries.(thats the difference between them Jokic can win by passing and not exerting himself, Philly has to have Embiid go all out now that Maxey is his costar)
Jrue Holiday quite literally pushed Caleb into Tatum lol
If giannis is smart he’ll ask for a trade because dame is a phony and not even a top 40 player all time.
All I got to say Is Antman . Nuf said
J-Will is right, at some point you can't keep saying 'next year is our year' embiid has never been able to stay healthy so why would anyone think next year would be any different? We'll probably have a similar conversation again next year when playoffs roll around
It was Jrue Holiday who pushed Martin to Tatum
Jrue pushed Caleb into Tatum
Players like Embid need to get booted out the NBA no matter how good they are for the 50games they play or just pay them for the games they actually play in, and see these players starting to play all 82games.
I'm just a fan.. but it is now at the point where Embiid, has ran out of excuses,, he no longer can hide behind Ben Simmons, or Doc Rivers, Or his injuries.. He has been on the floor for everyone of the 76er's playoff series loss. he never is healthy at playoff time. A losing product of the trust the process, which is a losing process.
I guess you really aren't looking, not only was he looking at the ball, jrue shoved him…and yall analysis?
Martin's foul was intentional no matter anyway it's sliced. Last season in game 7, the Heat knew what it meant with Tatum out. So, they trying to do it early. Martin barged into him straight up, didn't even try to go for the ball

so nobody saw Jrue Holiday pushing Caleb Martin into Jason Tatum?
No ask why was Tatum and Brown still in the game????
Jrue pushed Caleb into JT, no?
Embiid on one leg is still better than the entire knicks franchise. Sixers were in the game with a few minutes left with a one legged Embiid.
Knicks better win game 2😂
No one acknowledging jrue holidays push into Tatum
he's right, always the next year. And next year there's going to be another new super team in the conference, another emerging stars in the league, another sub-par trade happening not improving the roster.
They should call Embiid "Mr Glass" at this point
Caleb Martin literally gets pushed forward and his momentum led him to where Tatum was landing. Just an accident
WHO keeps putting CALL CENTER HOLD MUSIC on this show during the game clips?
*please staaaaahp
Bruh as a human being, let Embiid get the rest he needs. Sixers got him running on fumes and he gonna end up like Derrick Rose.
Alan Hahn would've kept spewing nonsense if Jay hadn't checked him.
Ready for the Knicks to get the Sixers up out of here so the media can stop making excuses for why the Sixers lost just like they do every single year. Embiid is made of glass, he will let you down just like he does every year.
The pacers "adjustments" was to literally double n triple team dame. They can't afford to do that for a whole series with the offensive firepower the bucks have. Keep the same energy y'all have had about the bucks all season vs the pacers, if the bucks sweep the pacers n giannis comes back healthy goin into the 2nd round look out
It look like jrue tried grabbing Caleb he ain’t push him 💯💯
3:50 Dirty play from Jrue Holiday?
hes watching the ball? thats your excuse?🤣 his eyes can be anywhere else while hes running into a player to make it look accidental dummy
Even if Embiid is fully healthy they'd have a tough time beating the Knicks because the Knicks bench was good enough to beat them at their relative best. When their starters get cooking, this is a blowout.
Mike is wrong. The sixers are not the best team with Embiid on the court. Ironically, its the Knicks with OG anunoby. 31-9 vs 21-3. 80% vs 87%
Playoffs are a different beast. You can't do it alone.
Embiid is basically a noone in the playoffs. Defenses get stingier, and his performances show it.
A great player is usually defined as an elite player who matches their regular season stats or exceeds them in the playoffs.
Embiid can't and he is overrated….his game has elements of attractiveness, but once playoffs come and the pressure comes, an injury prone player like Embiid can't meet the expectations.
YeZZZeRRR
Lmao, Jrue pushed caleb into Tatum.. Caleb's initial path was no where near Tatum
3:49
Ok. Let us know when you are here. We have new keys
What does this clown Jay will thinks he’s talking about. Like Embiid was holding back for some selfish reason. Dude gave his all despite being hurt, why we have opportunities for clowns like JWill running his mouth on tv
That knee can’t hold up and the Sixers have 0 shot without him
knicks in 4, 76ers are all beat up
The Bucks are beating the Pacers. Put it on record. Indiana's lack of playoff experience is a massive factor in this series, and not to mention Milwaukee wants payback for the in-season tournament, and stealing Giannis' game ball. Here's another point of view. The majority of ESPN wants the Pacers to win so that the Knicks have a cakewalk path to the Eastern Conference Finals. They don't want the Bucks coming into New York in the 2nd Round and ripping their souls out. I'm looking right at you Stephen A. (If the Bucks beat the Knicks, Malika is going to bash Stephen A. about going to Milwaukee for the ECF just like in 2021)
It’s very simple… Load manage his minutes
That’s the way they should load manage players
Half a game… For six minutes of the first quarter… last six minutes of the second six minutes of the third quarter and the last six minutes of the fourth
He’s on a minutes restriction so he can get into the game be effective and still rest
Reasons why Embiid struggles in the playoffs
1. Playing below your size and settling for jumpers (as he was a forward or shooting guard)
2. Not having a go to reliable effective move offensively (like Jokic, Olajuwon or Kareem)
3) the game in the playoffs is way more physical than in the regular season where defenders can hold you and grab you.
4) the game is reffed differently, less superstar calls and free throws, a skill that Embiid has mastered beyond other superstars.
4. Opposing teams scheme for you and scout your weaknesses unlike in the regular season. You aren't forced into your worse tendencies in a regular season game.
5. Every possession matters in the playoffs and your mistakes are exacerbated. The margins for error are tinier.
6. Pressure, nervousness are real in the NBA. The playoffs are not like NBA 2k where players perform like in the regular season.
Joel Embiid and Houston James Harden are very similar players in the sense that they are unstoppable scoring machines in the regular season.
In the playoffs their game is easy to pick apart with physical defense and less free throw reliance.
Ill rebuttal the statement of the sixers being the best team in the league. 32-8 is respectable but so is 21-3 with Og Anunouby
Jrue Holiday pushed Martin which led to a change of course which then led to the collision of him and Tatum
baloney thats a straight body check while a guy is airborne Miami heat try to hurt people they have no chance unless they take somebody out and they know it
