funny how everyone forgets ben simmons
Brockman wants Embiid to average 50/20/10 shooting 65% from the field. He did everything he could on one leg and half a face. Stop riding his injuries like he gets hurt just jogging up and down the court. It's such a lazy excuse from a person in your position.
Tobias Harris made $37 Million this year and had 0 points and 4 rebounds last night.
Trade him to the Knicks.
It’s so clear what Joel means. You need continuity. The only continuity he’s had is Tobias Harris.
And Brockman is wrong for his take. Embiid did everything he could.
Whoever slected Davis and Embid as the olympic staters should be removed from the program
Tobias harris is the problem…dude is paid like a super star and plays like a jag
✝💪🤍God bless! Jesus Christ is King and saves and is the way! Psalms 62 – "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." Jeremiah 29:11 – "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ✝💪🤍

Damn Brockman is a hater. Embid didn’t lose this series Tobias Harris needs to go.
They chose Simmons over Butler which was the wrong move. But that is why Butler wanted to leave bc he wanted the ball in his hands
Respectfully, stick to football guys lol
As someone from a basketball-less city in Seattle, if the expansion happened this next season and we got a team, there is nobody I’d rather build around than Embiid. Dude is such a good leader and if used correctly and kept healthy he’s unstoppable
Embiid is a problem
Tear it down except Maxey and build around him. Sixers fans don't deserve another process, but you can't continue with this roster and hope you make it out of the east.
Realizing tjs fandom is straight up a sports curse
People overlook how important team chemistry is and team culture.
Joel Embiid got hurt watching this clip. He will miss the start of the season.
Brockman and Rich are both dancing around the point with Embiid’s continuity point. It’s more than just Simmons and Butler. It’s Josh Richardson, Al Horford, JJ, constantly at the deadline shuffling even with bringing in Hield and Batum and Lowry mid-season. They need to keep Oubre/Hield maybe Batum and get a big that can take minutes off Embiid and be effective on the floor.
Nobody that knows ball wants to give Paul George a max with his weak passive mentality 🧠💯
PG just like harden chokes in the playoffs consistently. idk why he doesnt get that flag but look at the facts (basketball reference)
If Embiid is healthy, they beat the Knicks. If Kawhi is healthy, they beat the Mavericks. If Giannis is healthy, they beat the Pacers. But none of it matters, because they’re not healthy and that’s just part of the game.
Trade Embiid
Rich is usually pretty logical, and well reasoned…this was a weird exchange. Joel was like, an outrageous +46 over this series, where his team was outscored by a +1. he averaged over 30 points and 10 rebounds. Even with his obvious multiple health issues, he did about as much as can be reasonably asked of a superstar in this league. the highest paid player on his team averaged single digits, and scored nothing in the elimination game. How the Sixers lost is pretty plain to see. And it isn't Embiid or Maxey. He has been hurt pretty much every post season, that's true. Also, he usually doesn't produce as well, generally as a result of those injuries that he plays with in the post season. This was a situation where he still produced at a high level, but was let down by his running mates. Specifically Tobias.
And continuity is what Embiid is talking about. This team gets remade twice a year. He knows Maxey is a player he can count on as a running mate. He's hoping they can get consistency out of the 50+ million in cap space they have this offseason.
I think both sixers and Knicks will try to get kd
Pg wants a big contract ?
Lebron was KILLED for not being able to carry his team against the 2017-2018 warriors. But embid gets a pass bc he was a wittle hurttt:,(… dude this is the highest of leagues it doesn’t matter
2:53 you're right. Paul George would have scored 8 pts.
This train has no brakes
