Why are people so quick to judge a player off of one game though right?

I’m a generational Embiid hater. Let’s just remember that.


That’s fine but he’s still been great for his career productivity wise. It’s weird how easy it is to hate on great players on other teams but get so upset when we do it to our players.

Are you advocating for the right to hate on our team’s good players?

You can really see the early season conditioning isn’t there yet. Both teams fading
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

that's his average from last season...just another game. I was hoping for him to take a superstar step but that's probably not realistic

The efficiency is what really pops from that stat line.

Yeah if he averages that with great efficiency and great defense that is a great season.


It will probably be difficult to score 20 a game on the type of shot diet he needs to be efficient. Regardless, the scoring numbers won't matter as much if the team is having success.
