Playoff Embiid back in action
No ankles or ACLs are safe 😤
Can’t believe he’s already in second round form, truly no days off for the MVP
5 rebounds in 33 minutes. Truly the most Embiid player in the league rn, nobody is doing it like him.
bust
Nba is a sitcom masquerading as a reality show. They control the script and the outcome. If they want to swing a score they just start blowing that whistle every play.
Magikarp in playoff form already
God this is gold
Only if he's shiny
Take Jordan Poole's 1 for 16 night to remember, flail around until you get gifted 15 free throws, finish the game with respectable numbers. 82 games later you're the MVP. Then fake your annual playoff injury, lose in the second round, chose a scapegoat to fire or trade, hire his replacement, enter the new season proclaiming that this time it will be different when Embiid is finally healthy. Rinse and repeat
Not great from the field but 33 minutes in his first and only preseason action is pretty impressive.
And everyone wonders why this dude sucks ass in the playoffs when he can’t bait a call every possession
He shot 55% from the field last year taking midrange jumpers and threes💀. Y’all are really basing all of this off of a preseason game🤣.
15/8/1 on 28% and 20/12/2 on 29% in his last 2 elimination games
everyone knows elimination game stats are uninmportant, its too small of a sample size
Literally the most meaningful games of the season.
Ahhh 2 whole games compared to a season
How about 17/12/1 on 36%. What about his 21/11/4 on 33%. Don’t forget about 15/12/2 on 40%.
Embiid averages 22/11/2 on 39% in 9 elimination games in his career. He’s trash when it matter most and that’s what these stats prove. But don’t worry you can always count on him to get 15 FTs a night during the regular season to boost his stats.
Don't forget the 25 turnovers in the last 4 games vs the Hawks
TALK YOUR SHIT 🗣️🗣️
This thread is a clown show. Basketball fandom has become so toxic, it’s by far the worst in sports.
I will continue to clown on Embiid until he makes it out of the 2nd round. Until then he remains a foul merchant and a fraud.
Nah Bro. Youre just on the recieving end and have been for while a while now. It will end eventually. Philly fans can really dish it, you gotta take it as well.
Embiid deserved his mvp and shat the bed in the playoffs. It happens. People will get over it soon enough.
I appreciate the sentiment, but your comment is missing the point. I’ve been a 4 major sport fan my entire life. I’ve been through a shit ton of ups and downs over several generations of players and incarnations of teams. I’ve never seen anyone of Jo’s talent level and ilk receive this type of hate/disrespect. It’s something else. Look at these comments….
Really? You weren't around for LeBron and The Decision? 100 times worse than what people shitting on Embiid right now. Russell Westbrook got the exact same treatment as Embiid after he won his MVP on "empty stats". Harden=literally Hitler etc etc.
It's just flavour of the month. It is funny that Embiid campaigned for the MVP(not as much as people say he did, but he still did campaign for it a little), and then he got owned in the playoffs.
If this happened to Tatum you would be laughing your ass off right now. You're just sad about it because it's your team.
I'm not a Sixers fan. I'll give you this, I agree Embiid is way better than what /r/nba gives him credit for obviously. He 100% deserved his MVP, although it could have gone to either him, Jokic or Giannis. Jokic sat the last 6 out of 8 games which sealed the deal. People just seem to forget that.
But man... it's just fucking funny that he shat the bed in the playoffs. Don't take it so seriously. People will forget and move on to the next guy to clown on.
Embiid is easily the worst player in the league to watch. Acts tough and badass, talks so much shit then just get carried by the refs and ends up on the floor over half the game
Lmao hard disagree love watching the man play that middy J is so automatic and satisfying to watch.
The middy J that got him 3/12 shooting? That one?
Ah yes the preseason where all the trophies are won. You can hate all you want the second he gets traded to Wolves you gonna be deleting all these comments lmao.
Embiid is a beast there is no denying it, led the league in scoring two seasons in a row as a seven footer.
Satisfying to watch 2 middies out of 10 shot attempts that end in flops
Agreed. For some reason it is still tolerable to an extent when smaller players like Harden or Trae are doing it but for a 7ft 1 in MVP who's entire bball identity is how tough he is in post to bitch and moan to the refs for 42 min a night is disgusting to watch
LOVE watching free throws for a whole game
Glad I decided against going to the Garden for the Philly game and bought tickets to see us play the Thunder instead
Tribute game to Harden
Already in postseason form!
why do they give this asshole so many fts
MVPee
JoElbow alway gets bailed out by the zebras. this pos leads endanger other players by falling on then and get bailed out with ft. smh do better refs
Some things never change...
Are these MVP stats?
