Is this guy confused? I guess he never saw Embiid drop off a cliff in the playoffs


Myers is fine in his ESPN gig but it seems like the vast majority of his takes are entirely based on what stuck in his mind from past Warriors games he watched.

Embiid last played in Denver before COVID. Shook.

LOL I really thought he would man up and try to shut down the narrative but he has absolutely no shame. What a goof.

Don’t give me injury excuses either. Jokic is playing today with one eyeball.

Makes sense. He hurt his knee last game. There is clear video on it, and he didn't look the same. I was suprised he wasn't listed on the injury report. I think if everyone was playing, he might have played, but giving that literally the entire team is out, what's the point. He'll strain himself and could get even more hurt.

You cant give MVP to a guy that ducks opponents and flops all over the court... Hes a mix of a duck and a fish... A mockery to the game of basketball...

I wouldn't mind SGA as MVP...

I know he doesn't get paid for it, but I really hope eyeatoma at least gets a signed jersey from Embiid putting all this extra overtime to spin whichever narrative is needed at the moment

Wtf, who is ducking here? I've been here the whole time buddy. You duck any time Embiid has a great game. Interesting.

How is this a spin lol. I'd say more likely he decided not to play, if he wasn't warming up, but he clearly did. People even noticed that he didn't look great.

Yeah let's be serious for a moment here, there is no way he is injured or has something every **** year that he has to play in Denver, everyone that believes this is a fool. Actually I'm starting to believe he is faking injuries in the 1st round of playoffs to minimize criticism, but maybe just me being unfair.

Why would i duck when embiid has a good game? When has he ever had a good game when it matters?

Nice 70 point game against one the worst teams. Its nice but doesnt mean anything in the big picture.

There is nothing to duck since he has less playoff success than trae young.

Meanwhile you keep making endless excuses. I already call embiid a top 1-3 regular season guy but he isnt even top 20 in playoffs.

Hard to imagine Embiid playing without an advantage, let alone with a huge disadvantage of half the team out. That's not the Joel we know. He must be desperate to hit the 65 games mark.
Keep twisting your weak ass narrative. You all were so confident that he would duck, now that he isn't you've shifted to something else.

Lost all credibility.

We don't know yet if he will actually play. In fact, they might be setting up another excuse, because the one with injuries was getting old. Now, Embiid is healthy and wants to play, but his coach insists that he rests because the others are out so they have no chance anyway.


Just wanted to show that I predicted this yesterday.
