BREAKING: THE SIXERS ARE F*CKED… THE COLLAPSE HAS BEGUN!



BREAKING: THE SIXERS ARE F*CKED… THE COLLAPSE HAS BEGUN!

[Music] The Philadelphia 76ers are a uh a disaster. Continue to be a disaster. And uh I was trying to enjoy my Sunday. The Phillies are on soon. And uh I got this report by Legion Hoops and uh they quoted Brett Seagull, a pretty credible source around the league. And this is what he had to say when a an account asked him about the updates on Joel Embiid and Paul George. and this is what he had to say. Only updates are that George is out for the start of training camp and may not play in the preeason. Too early to tell there. As for Embiid, there’s genuine concern about his knee health. Of course, word from Philly gets downplayed, but around the league, the word is bad. And Tyrese Maxi recently went on what the Deep Three podcast and uh did a PR stunt talking about how the Sixers are going to have a bounceback season. He knows what’s going on with Joel Embi. Let’s not beat around the bush here. He knows like he’s played with him for like what five, six years now. Um, this is Tyrese Maxis’s team now. I think we have to admit that. I watched some I watch watched a lot of that podcast, bro. I I liked everything Tyrese Maxi said other than him blowing smoke up our ass about the this upcoming season. He had Watford and I think VJ Edgecomb at the gym is at 6 am. Tyrese Maxi is the leader of the 76ers. They need to just completely can the Joel Embiid era. It is over. I I try I I usually get pulled back, you know, pulled back into the Sixers every summer, no matter how bad the season ends, whether it’s a disgusting playoff exit or a uh just a terrible regular season where they don’t make the playoffs. And this season it was especially the case since they were able to get the third pick and they drafted another dog in VJ Edgecom and now the Sixers have a core of three terrific young guards in Maxi, VJ and McCain. So you think that there is something to look forward to in the future and you got those Clippers picks as well. Sure. But then you got to consider that they are anchored by the two worst contracts in the NBA by far in Joel Embiid and Paul George who both of them are decrepit. They will no longer be players that can contribute on an NBA court at a high enough level for the 76ers to see any playoff success. It sucks. I I don’t want to admit it. I really did not want to admit it, man. I wanted to be positive going into this season. I just want to think that last season was a fluke and that Embiid looking wash is that he was recovering from his meniscus issue or his minisctomy and his he got he got the surgery got the same doctor that fixed Kawhi Leonard and uh it was going to be all good and that maybe the Sixers if they were healthy they could be a competitor in the Eastern Conference because the Celtics and the Pacers their best players are injured. Tatum and uh Halleurn. So, you only got to go through like what? The Knicks. The Knicks and the Magic, I guess. Uh, but no, the Sixers are [ __ ] The Sixers are screwed. And there’s no other way around it. Uh, I just excuse my swear words, but it’s true. The Sixers are [ __ ] There is no other excuse that we could keep making about this team. Has been the same stuff over and over again for the past 10 years. And I have to use those v vulgar words to really express how disappointed and just how tired not only I am, but I’m sure you are too since you’ve probably been watching the Sixers for a while and have been paying attention to the team and really been invested and hoping that they, you know, go on a playoff run and can get to the fi finals since the first time since 2001. But we have to deal with the same thing over and over again with Joel Embiid and his injury and his ramp up processes and uh all of that mumbo jumbo about him, you know, in whatever surgery he gets or having to scroll through, you know, doctor p doctor’s pages on Twitter to see if he’s like his injuries going well. I don’t even know anymore, bro. My brain is gel jelly. My brain is jelly from all this. I’m so tired of Sixers fans having to have had pass the MCAT in order for them to to pay attention to this team in a intelligent way or whatever or just a a passionate way because we’re screwed. And I’m not a doctor of course, but you don’t have to take it from me. You could take it from, you may have heard of him, Dr. Brian Sudterer who Joel Joel Embiid Joel Embiid has pretty much become his mascot. This this is pretty much how he got his claim to fame talking about Joel Embi is injuring Sixers fans going to his page. But this is what he had to say on April 2nd, you know, when it came to his uh arthroscopic surgery. How many arthoroscopic surgeries have we been told will be a complete success for Embiid? Yet issues keep persisting. The quick timeline suggests that they will be doing more of a cleanup which rarely rarely fixes things long term. Short-term benefit, yes, but to act like this is going to turn his career around healthwise is being disingenuous to fans. And you know, we kept trying to say if the se you know, if he was just healthy, you know, if he could be at least 80% of what he is, maybe the Sixers have a shot, he could play consistent a consistent enough amount of games. But Joel Embiid, his mintomy is not getting any better. It’s not going to be getting any better. It was a ploy that they that he opted into so he can return to the playoffs in time because guys like Lonzo Ball, they got complete cartilage like meniscus replacements and it took him like two years to get back into the NBA. Of course, Embiid wasn’t going to get, you know, go that route because he already missed his first two years in the NBA. And uh it’s not getting better for Joel Embiid. He’s he’s approach he’s getting into his 30s. He ages in dog ears and uh it sucks, dude. Joel Embiid is a warrior. I’ll never doubt Joel Embiid and his grit, his toughness. He has done everything he could. Elise, I mean, he could definitely, I guess, be better when it came to conditioning. But the dude, he had to suffer so many freak injuries, bro. I just, you could talk for hours on hours on end alone just talking about the Joel Embiid injury saga and everything he has had to go through. Paul George on the other hand, I forgot Paul George was even on the 76ers. I think I saw a post on social media that he was rated a 76 and 2K. Uh he should be a 70. He should be like a 72. He was awful. Maybe he might have a bounceback year. I was trying to gas up Paul George a little bit. Just trying to be positive. But if he’s missing training camp now and uh we we see the same old thing every single time. Same old Sixers and Daryl my Daryl my Joel Embiid extension. Is that the worst thing Daryl my has ever done in his entire career? Is this a fireable offense? It is work looking worse by the day. Now I’ve been trying to defend Daryl my I’ve been defending his move to sign Paul George in the first place. I did that because it was a dog [ __ ] free agency class. You weren’t getting anybody who was going to move the needle. Uh, and when you were getting Paul George, at least you were getting someone with the expectation that he would be better than Tobias Harris. And there have been years even with MB getting injured that the Sixers were able to advance in the playoffs despite Tobias Harris not playing up the snuff. And if Tobias Harris, if he would just play a little bit better and really step up for once, then the Sixers things may have gone different for them and they could have really gone on a deep playoff run. However, I guess I was too optimistic about Embiid’s health in the first place because without Joel Embiid, the 76ers are nothing. And the Sixers, they need to blow it up. And uh does this sound like a really bipolar reaction from me? Yes, it is. Well, that is because the Sixers are a bipolar franchise, man. and they have been toying with this fan base for years. I have no idea how what scheme scam Josh Harris is going to come up with to try and put uh butts in those seats next season cuz ain’t nobody going to those games. Season ticket holders, they uh there’s no way they’re going to be renewing their season tickets. Or maybe Sixers fans are just that sick in the head that they’re gonna go anyway just to see VJ Edgecomb dunk all over Ace Bailey. Sure, I guess. I Well, I mean, yeah, Josh Harris got another uh escape route this time. Now he has a brand new third overall pick that he could play with. And the Sixers are done. The Sixers are done. You need to wrap it up. Joel Embiid, he he tried. We tried with Embiid. We thought he could be healthy. We thought that, you know, you could build a good enough roster around him even with the Tobias Harris contract holding you down. You couldn’t. You thought, hey, let’s bring in Paul George. All you had to do is be better than Tobias Harris. You did that. It didn’t work. It was understandable, but it didn’t work. And but then you gave Embiid an extension. He signed through 2029. And uh yeah, is he gonna go on a medical retirement? Do we have to talk about benching Joel Embiid? Seriously, I don’t think that’s even a crazy thing to say at this point. Benching Joel Embiid. Uh I just he what he looked like last year was so awful. He looked completely washed. He he never really closed down any three-pointers, but in that season it was it was really apparent. He wasn’t even closing out to the freaking elbow. And uh it was a light layup line. I don’t know what it is. What was going on with Embiid, bro. I don’t know if Brett Seagull, he’s just trying to get attention or whatever because it’s August and there’s nothing to talk about newswise except for this now. And uh what I’m all I’m going to say, my final thing, man, Sixers fans aren’t falling for it again. We’re not falling for it again. We’ve seen this for 10 years, bro. I uh when Joel Embiid got drafted with this to the Sixers, I was learning long division. It’s over. Wrap it up. find a way to get those contracts off the books and move forward to the future. Tyrese Maxi is the leader of the Philadelphia 76ers. Joel Embiid, thank you for your service. It’s over. Peace.

Joel Embiid is not getting better. Paul George is missing training camp. Sixers suck #sixers #joelembiid #paulgeorge #76ers

  1. Embiid looked washed???? When????!!!!! Are you talking about defensively??? What about offensively???

  2. You should have stuck with having Adem Bona being the starter for the Sixers.
    You You Tubers need to get together and call for Joel to come of the bench and not stink up the team by trying to pace himself for 35 minutes.
    Clearly Morey and the local media doesn't have the courage to ask Joel to make a sacrifice for the team. The You Tubers can.

    Yes, I am a fan of Dr Sutterer. You are correct about the "cleanup". It is the physical therapy that is supposed to get Joel better. I have explained this online.

  3. Paul George is another story which has been misinterpreted, although Morey gave some clues about it just being a cleanup.
    He didn't have a new injury. He is NOT that frail (lol). He may have had a flare up (that is what our friend Grok believes). It was that the knee issues from last season never fully resolved, probably because there were loose bodies and some necrotic tissue.

    I am optimistic that the early July cleanup that he had will resolve his problem. Would have been better if he had the flare up a few weeks earlier, so that he would be on course to be fully ready for camp at the end of September. Now he could be on a minutes restriction to start the season.

  4. Who the hell keeps farming this goody fake news, & why are local content creators reporting this "word is bad around the league" nonsense Like they know more us?? Smh 🙄

  5. This is as close to a clickbait nonstory as you can get bro…Shiid let me go find a random tweet from Joe Bagofdoughnuts too & make a video! 😒

  6. You needed Brett Siegel to TELL you how bad Joel Knees are and that he’s on borrowed time… I’m not a Sixers YouTuber or a NBA Insider/ Reporter to tell you that.. I just watch basketball 🤷🏾‍♂️
