I guess the argument is that it's not sustainable beyond the first round of the playoffs. I think that's more about his conditioning/health than his approach though.

Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down

He's not wrong though. Must be nice to be able to go 5-20 and still win.

Tatum gave him 50 while Joel was needing pep talks from PJ Tucker.
He needs to just win and stop worrying about everyone else.
Bro, you're like a GB troll on the Sixers board. Anytime anyone says anything good about Embiid, you're here to throw cold water on it. It's a joke. It's also true. Tatum has the luxury of management that was able to build around him. Also lets not forget that Tatum was ass that whole series, and then got hot in game 7. Props to him, that was a big game, but his performance this year, further indicates that at best he's top 10 in the NBA when healthy, maybe top 8. He never had to carry a team ever. When he did he's failed every time. Embiid had a bad game, 9/10 Sixers lose. Tatum has a bad game they win atleast half the time.

Tatum - one championship and multiple Finals and ECF appearances
Embiid - zero championships or even ECF appearances
Your obsession with the GB is one thing, but you make yourself into a virtual meme with some of your arguments. No one here believes that Tatum is better than Embiid (as if that means a f***king thing), but the fact is that his team has won and the Sixers haven't, which is all that really matters to anyone but Embiid fanboys.
Embiid needs to shut the f***k up, lose 25 lbs. and get in shape, learn how to play in a system where he isn't the sole focal point of the offense, and focus on winning with his defense and rebounding as much or more than his offense. Stop with social media and get your ass in the gym. At what point in his career does Embiid make adjustments that are more conducive to winning big games than personal accomplishments? That will be when you can go on your precious 'GB' and not come off as a nitwit.

Clearly you haven't read my posts in the last two pages. All I've been saying is that he needs to lose weight. I also don't think he's capable of playing a different way. I've largely avoided the GB this summer, but I can refer to it.
Also Tatum is a loser, who lucked out being drafted by the Celtics. On any other team he wouldn't even be a top 15 player. The dude has ridden the coattails of organisational success his whole career. Inspite of Jo's injuries if the team was built even 90% close to what Tatum's are built like they would have won a chip. They had it with the Jimmy team, and then ripped it apart. Me saying he's right about Tatum is completely fine and is not a meme.

Do you have any numbers to support that you could just replace Tatum with Embiid and still win? Tatum has averaged a pretty healthy ppg on solid TS% and low turnovers in the playoffs. Embiid hasn’t (at least with turnovers where he literally averages more turnovers than assists per game in the playoffs). If you want to say it’s because Embiid hasn’t been healthy, than fine, but that’s somewhat its own problem. But Embiid has been pretty mediocre in the playoffs and worse than Tatum imo. Now that I’m looking, a non-trivial number of advanced metrics seem to like Tatum in the playoffs too.

Jailblazers7 wrote:It is massively disappointing to see Embiid on a grievance tour leading into a season where he’ll have the best roster of his career. It’s just enormous loser energy & makes me lose any confidence I had left in him. It’s especially disheartening to see him complain about the Celtics being so talented when he no-showed against them in a game 7 two years ago.
I don’t think he’s learned anything & at this point I'm not sure he ever will.

To be fair; Tatum was actually provided a team around him. Joel has had to deal with an emo cripple afraid to shoot; a dude who forgot how to shoot; and a GM who picked Tobias over Jimmy and then said "let's go twin towers with another big and grab a guard who doesn't shoot from the outside and have 3 guys essentially needing paint space with Joel."
I get Jo's frustration; he gets ragged on everywhere about not getting out of the 2nd rnd. The only year he actually had a team around him they miss the conference finals and probably the finals to Kawhi getting to turn into a running back carrying the ball until he shoots a quadruple doink. It's gotta be frustrating.

This, but if we defend him, apparently we're Joel simps. I **** on Joel all the time, but the **** on needs to make sense.
