Considering what he said and how he treated Towns I think it is totally necessary!

I did not know this and now have more reasons to hate Embiid!

That’s because he’s almost always injured and his team is built around him so when he goes down, the team break down.

Let's be honest. Any RealGM poster could have gotten a gold medal on that team.

Biid up!

82 games of what? Chess?

I doubt, embiid could play 82 chess match without injured himself.

But I am sure he will try to poke his opponent eye, and try to change place chess pieces while opponent doesn't look.
And after loss will start to crying

Last year's team made it once again to the Conference Finals without KAT, so we can scratch that data point. Meanwhile, last year's Knicks suited up 6 players for a game in the Conference semis, while this year's Knicks were entirely healthy. So, scratch that data point, too.

Nothing to see here, move on.

Since when is it okay for a forum member (let alone a mod) to bait another franchise?

It’s okay it’s Embiid, not really a significant player.

The hate is strong with this one.

KAT helped the Wolves make it to the conference finals last year, defeating the defending champions no less.

Same case for this season when no one expected them too. I think you're the one that needs to move along here.

I don't hate. He's a good player, a championship quality 2nd option. Every contender needs one. But the headline suggests that KAT is the difference maker -- he's the reason for those different teams' success -- and that is not true.

Respect to KAT. People said he was a life time loser and he is doing ok so far. He has made if further than Embiid.

Good, I always liked him. But the franchise player in Minny was Edwards and in NY is Brunson.

Chokic · Post #37 » by **Chokic** » Sun May 18, 2025 4:53 pm

Congratulations to KAT. It was a joke ppl had Bam and Gobert above him.

Embiid when healthy is the best player in the league. Embiid when riddled w/ injuries has some competition with guys like giannis and jokic.

Embiid couldn't play 82 anything in a year. Golf games, 82 games of darts, 82 games of shuffle board. He'd sustain something.

How can a championship quality 2nd option not be a difference maker? Seems like you're reaching on the headline. Smells of hate to me.

He's a difference maker for us, and a championship quality 2nd option is kind of a big deal :lol:
