Embiid just needs to sit out. He's clearly injured. PG is a disgrace and Tyrese is overcompensating for those two…
Joel cannot move, and Paul George couldn't care less about wining, he got it made in the shade. Thanks to the incompetent owner and GM. This team is in rebuild mode and the GM keeps talking about a championship, lol. Nick Nurse is not the coach for the Sixers he is a veteran player's coach period. I hope the team gets sold to a better owner. Joel thinks the city OWS him something, and he never got the team past the second round of the playoffs, and now he is broken as usual.
The big 3, are a BIG FLOP! The Sixers ain't going NOWHERE, and this is coming from from a Sixer fan. That organization has some talent, but it lacks leadership, on and off the court. The ownership is horrible, the front office is terrible, and the coaching is subpar. The best player is NOT a leader and Maxey is not the vocal dude. PG is along for the ride, and offers nothing with regards to leadership, wheresoever he goes. It's time to blow up the team, and start from scratch, so they can build a championship worthy team for the new arena. Time to move on from Embiid! His time in Philly is coming to an embarrising end.
Joel is NOT serious as the lead player on this squad. He is a careless playful character, not knowing when to get down and when to be serious about his profession. His attitude is his undoing as a professional basketbal player. He displays no meaningful leadership whatsoever. He gets on Kelly for lacadasical play, when he himself, is doing the same thing. I feel sorry for Maxey and McCain. Joel is NO leader people. It's time the Sixers realize this and move on. I can no longer support Joel as the franchise player.
I can see Nurse getting pushed out the door because of Embiid. I have seen enough, Joel is the one constant that gets these coaches fired.
Kayla's usually the optimist here but she looks tired or disappointed this episode
Embiid was atrocious in his triple double game also. He had 9 Turnovers and was dreadful on defense.
I would've tried to fine a way to trade for zion
I can honestly say, as bad as the Atlanta Hawks are after the trade deadline, the Atlanta Hawks are in a better situation than the Philadelphia 76ers.
This was impressive by the Pistons to do this without their top 2 players!
What big three there's no big three Embiid is cooked he can't jump he can't defend He's falling on the floor all the time he doesn't have good balance it's time to trade the brother I hate to say it it's time to get rid of them if you notice they play good without him he slows them down That's why James harden when he was here wanted to play with the bench cuz he knew the bench was faster Remember that Big fella is too slow simple as that.
And don't let me start on Maxay he cannot defend okay he's a good shooter but he's a terrible defender Malik Beasley made 9 .3 pointers on the sixers and seven came from Maxay leaving Beasley in the corner . He always have a habit of trying to double team a player when he don't have to and then the other player be wide open for three watch every game Maxay always leave his Man wide open in the corner He's a good shooter but he's a liability when it comes to defense 💯
If you look at PG games when he play for the clippers he always had the ball in his hand you can't do that with big fella and Maxay they dominate the ball which makes PG looks bad no one can play with Embiid look at all the players that came and gone because they can't play with big feather how many years do we have to keep going through this He's slow he's falling all over the place. It might be time to go another way instead of trying to build around big fella cuz it's not going to work
All I’ll say is at least y’all got the Super Bowl tomorrow. I’m cheering against Taylor Swift because her team winning is what the money people want
Sixers shoulda put maxey out there in the trade season!!! Man they coulda got draft picks for him for sure!!!
Morey rambling about getting younger while NN keeps playing washed Lowry and Gordon. Its absolutely insane. 78 pts by Pistons at half most since 1982!!. This team was fun to watch when Joel and PG didn't play. Also this NN playing Maxey 39 mins in a game like this. I can not stand this coach
Kayla is such an amateur. How do you even blame PG is beyond me. Did you watch the game? Everyone is quick to say this is Maxey & Embiid's team so don't get mad when they both take double the shots of PG.
Maxey and Embiid do not share the ball or get others involved. PG shot 60% from the field and had the best +/- of any starter.
Embiid was like 1-10 at halftime? PG is not going to tell Embiid and Maxey to take less shots. I don't know what people want from the dude. You can't have it both ways. You can't say this is Embiid and Maxey's team and want those guys to take the most shots. Then say PG needs to be more aggressive, that doesn't make sense…..
Jo is a disgrace
Morey talking title, nobody showing up in the first half and the laziest guy on the court calling out effort, gotta be a top 5 worst days to be a Sixers fan
This is not a "big three", stop that shit already. Paul George is completely washed, Joel Embiid is too injured and lazy, and we may have jumped up Tyrese Maxey a little too quick. Calling this a big three is a disrespectful comment to real big threes in the NBA. If this was a "big three", this is the worst big three in NBA history, no cap.
We shot ourselves out the game in the 1st quarter. Taking and missing all those 3s instead of just establishing making a easy basket to get us started. Our point guard (Maxey) wasn't even looking for George plus kept taking untimely uncalled for 3s when we tried to make the comeback.
I’m from Detroit and to be real I was shocked to be up without Cade Tobias Harris is doing more for Detroit than podcast p is doing for Philly
Sixers should always have a twin towers look with a rotational Quartette of Embid ,Yabu, Bona, and Drummond depending who is available.
Whenever the Sixers loose they will never mention or say Nick "White DEI Hire" Nurse name! When the Sixers Win Nick "White DEI Hire" Nurse name will be mentioned throughout the whole broadcast.
SIXERS SHOULD SIGN JALEN HOOD SCHIFINO
Paul George has shot poorly since he came back
Embid is too clumsy
Pistons fan here. Me and bro was watching this game. We don’t fuck with Embiid. Idk how he got the fouls he got. Looks to give up on defense getting back off a rebound. Saw Oubre getting on his head.
I’d be pissed if we got Embiid in a trade hypothetically 😂
This season is done. Get yourselves in lottery position and stop the pain.
Big Perk said it best, " Trade Embiid and George, who's standing in Maxey's way."
So is Joel still honoring his brother or can we finally say he isn’t ??
