Even if he was soft….
I am wondering if Franz is being miss cast just like Aaron Gordon was in Orlando. Is Franz just a really highend role player and not a true #2
Ryen Russillo is smart as a whip about sports but something about his monotone voice puts me to sleep
All of you idiots saying Embiid is a FT merchant fail to realize that all time great scorers who get a lot of their points in the paint will get fouled frequently. Brunson had 12 FTs, Embiid had 15 if you do not count the intentional fouls at the end of the game. The Robinson play was definitely a flagrant, but no one is ejecting a player in the playoffs in the first quarter unless he punches a player or seriously injures them i.e. Olynyk ripping Kevin Love’s shoulder out of socket. Or if the player has a history of intentionally hurting players. Embiid does not. Anyone who uses “FT merchant” as an argument is idiotic. I could say the same about Brunson. He jumps backwards into defenders and flails his body to draw fouls. But no one is bitching and crying about that because people like him. Be objective in your analysis or shut the fuck up. You’re unbearable and what’s worse is you’re idiotic.
I hope Embiid keeps on flopping. It just damages his body in the long run.
Nikola Jokic is better now than LeBron ever has been.
14:33 they need the power glove😂
Franz 🏀🔥🙌
Sorry it's not just a "bad look" for LeBron. What kind of understatement is that? His "leadership" is literally all of theur problem.
Why would you have any confidence or trust in a guy like that as your team mate? They have zero team chemistry because of it. Add to that his horrendous body language and blame shifting.
The nuggets have less talent and they shot worse in almost every game. The difference is they are actually invested and play as a team.
This is not NBA2k
I still got lakers in 9
13:08…When he FINALLY talks about Denver/LAL
The ongoing media narrative that LeDope has "the highest basketball IQ in the league" is just such crap.
YouTube unsubscribed or something Ryen but it's good to see you 👌🏽
Never seen more protected star than Embiid…very time Embiid has a bad game in the playoffs, the media is like.."ahh he was hurt"…😂Stop making excuses, if you are out there you are straight(ain't nobody 100% healthy)..
The only good playoff series for him were vs Wasington and Atlanta and thats a fact😂
Embiid is really leaning into his heel turn.
3:22 – RR leg kicks. Embiid would drop like a rock and never walk properly again.
I analyzed D'Lo on the bench like the Zapruder film, and I still can't tell what he was doing.
Jokic on a top 5 all time pace…. Conversely, LeBron will be properly have a reassessment of his so called concensus #2 all time ranking which is A joke
Was there never any discussion of Mavs-Clippers?
3:14 "Even if Embiid were soft"
Uhh, millions of us have watched Embiid for over a decade now. Injuries, flopping, random stomach virus.
He is not "maybe soft". He IS soft. You're completely blind if you DON'T think he's soft. That dude is made out of 99cent store glass and toilet paper, and they're going out of business.
The officials favoring Embiid have gotten out of hand? He gets 21 free throws and tries to take a guy out without penalty?
I think Ryan Russillo could do a Joe Pera-esque version of sports talk and it would take a year to get through
Me encanta el fondo, parece un cuadro de Hopper o la casa de De Niro en HEAT o ambas dos.
LeBron will do the exactly what he did last season in game 4 he’s going to go all out in the 1st half and scored a ton and n the 2nd half be a no show. Then all his media buddies will say that Lebron was great he scored 39+points he had no help, negating that he was a no show in the second half.
Go back to game 4 last season Lebron was stat padding and scored 6pts in the second half, shot ball off the back of the basket and then got blocked by Murray.
„Mitchell Robinson ended up being hurt“… are u fkin fr? Embiid injured hin on PURPOSE
Just because hes rhat big doesnt mean he can fight none of those guys are small
Lebron is going to blame Jay Mohr!
Everyone feels compelled to criticize LeBron. When he has to make 88-100 correct decisions in a game you would think Rui and DLo would CRASH THE BOARDS !!! Why does he have to grab more than 5-8 boards, 6-15 assists, 20-40 points, 1-4 stops per game??? He's frustrated by younger fresher legs not WANTING IT !!!
Love Russillo’s energy here. Well done!
Blaming DLo is so LA. Guy went off for the first two games and you still lost so it ain't him. How about blame lebron not playing any defense. If he played mid level defense then Gordon isn't scoring more than 20.
joeL is the most embarrassing MVP in history 🤮
Lebron will bring up retirement to deflect from being swept AGAIN.
My Ryen Russillo impression –
“So I want to talk about how people react to Joel Embiid. Because he went 12/31 in game 5 so I know we all do this thing where we go ‘Oh so you only…’…like remember back in 1999 when were criticizing Shaq and saying he could never win because he had gone 2/8 on free throws in that series against…and for the record I was always someone who said “yes I know Shaq struggles with his free throws but they used to say the same thing about Wilt when he quote unquote gagged against Russell, which by the way when you go back and look at the box scores is like “oh Wilt gagged when he went 37-14-12 in a loss in…” another snort
Here comes Ryan trying extremely hard to make us believe he knows what he’s talking about.
Embiid is a free throw grifting flopper willing to injure anyone on the floor with his careless play. It’s no wonder that no one wants to guard him. Career ending injuries seem likely getting any where near his “fall” zone
Isaac has been coming off the bench all year. We've had a consistent 10 man rotation. Mose tried JI in the starting lineup but it clearly didn’t work, so we went back to Dell at C and we rebounded better. Chemistry is off the charts with my Magic
Only embiid and the 76ers could be mad about not getting calls when he had more free throws attempts than shot attempts. Absolute joke of a "superstar"
Am I on something or is rusillo on something? I don't remember him ever moving this much in a video
