The Sixers and Joel Embiid’s Health

[eyeatoma]

Watch on YouTube

Hundred percent, he is a huge factor on whether he plays. And what I'm saying, is that he's an emotional person, and the constant media barrage, and the fans getting on him, gets to him. The fact that Ramona Shelburn said, you're not putting me on the injury report against Denver was a perfect example of this. He wanted to play to get the fans off his back. He tried, and they (the medical team) noticed he couldn't even jump in Denver (as per Ramona Shelburne again).

This is evidenced by the video I sent two posts later where he tries to go for a block and his leg gives out. He was a little better than in Denver, but again shouldn't have been playing.

This is three fold 1, The Sixers Medical Staff, 2 Embid, and 3 the public pressure that gets to him, that makes him make unwise decisions. Why, because he wants to win, he wants the accolades, and he wants a chip. He wants to prove that he's an all time great, but his brittle body won't allow it. So he pushes himself, and inevitabley gets more hurt. Simple as that.

I don't use twitter. Did it explain why he didn't play last year?

He has been dealing with the calf for a while last year. Which is why he sat out. Big man, and calf issues, not something you want to mess with.

Mmmhmmm. But he played right before and right after.

The fact that you still believe this after everything you saw in the last week tells me you just want to believe a narrative that you want to believe even though all the evidence proves otherwise. You have one game in the last 5 years that you are clinging to lol. Nuff said.

He is right though, last year he played games before and after the Denver game, he only missed that one, it's too suspicious. Also, he misses the Utah game more than half the time, if you don't see how this dude doesn't like the altitude then I don't know what to tell you...
The stats are there to see, it's what, his 7th season or so, and he has only played two times in Denver and two times in Utah. What is the common factor with the two? yeah I don't believe in coincidences sorry.

It was a calf issues. And again, why you hanging on one game. All the other evidence points to clear injuries or illnesses where he missed multiple games before or after. However the sample size of one makes it too suspicious? Yeah that's a no from me dawg.

I believe the rumors that he felt pressured to play. It does make a lot of sense. What Nurse says about the injuries being unrelated also makes sense. It's not like he landed funny and hyperextended the knee or something, a player fell on his leg during a loose ball scramble. It's bad luck, but it happens and is part of the game.

A player fell on his shin. It caused his leg to go flat on the floor. There's almost no chance of this resulting in injury unless the leg is already injured somewhere. It means that Embiid was playing that game without being able to completely straighten his knee. Nurse is just trying to escape any blame here.

I'm not, I'm giving the example of him also ducking Utah as proof.

Only 2 games in Denver, 7 games at home
Only 3 games in Utah, 7 games at home
In like 7-8 years career or so.
He is not ducking Jokic in Denver, he is ducking the altitude. One season or so where he was truly injured doesn't change this fact, too much coincidence is just not possible.

[losmi]

eyatoma, nothing you posted changes the fact that he played that game to chase the 65 games requirement. He's obsessed with personal accolades to the detriment of his team. There should be some serious talks within the 76ers organization.

Also, his PR has always been awful, but now it's out of control with blaming fans of opposing teams. That's irresponsible.

Social media is a scourge on society. You don't know how it affects people. I'm a teacher at an international school, and you have no idea how many depressed kids we have from online bullying etc. It is absolutely a real thing. Just because he's one of the best players in the world doesn't mean he's immune to feeling sensitive about this stuff. I do agree hes trying to meet the 65 game requirement. Why do you think that is?

He wants accolades, because that's the measuring stick, in addition to championships when ranking people in NBA history. Chips and MVPs. If he's capable of winning another why shouldn't he while also going for a chip. I agree that this year with the way his body has reacted he's going to need to scale it back, and not go for it, at this point he's going to be forced to with his latest injury.

I've posted that tweet many times. Explain to me how he's not truly injured in every game against Denver except for maybe one?

I'm betting you if someone dug to see the before and after games in Utah it would line up similarly. It's hilarious to see you playing too sides on this. Never change Bum.

Well they can’t exactly say “DNP Altitude” they’d get fined.

Teams list players injured all the time when they’re resting.

For which the Denver games?

Literally one game is questionable, even though it's a calf issue. I'd be more inclined to believe the calf issue game was a duck, if he didn't have a real issue for every single other game that he "ducked" Denver. Every other game he's missed multiple games before and after the Denver game. Look at the tweet that proves it.

Ah, okay. So he played to chase accolades because he wants to rank high in NBA history. That's what I said, as well.

But that's vastly different from "he played because social media accused him for missing the game in Denver".

It can be both. He probably would have just rested if the media and fans weren't so toxic about it. SVG is an **** on TNT. Richard Jefferson was calling him a pussy, these are mainstream media folks doing this. There was a nuggets reporter that asked Nick Nurse what does Embiid missing the Denver game mean about his character. Nurse had a deadpanned face and was probably thinking, are you seriously asking me that question. He just ignored him and moved on.

I won’t say they’re are celebratory, but there’s some pretty gross chest puffing posts in this thread about Embiids injury…

[Sixers in 4]

I won’t say they’re at e celebratory, but there’s some pretty gross chest puffing posts in this thread about Embiids injury…

This is what they wanted. They kill Embiid and the Sixers for trying to keep him healthy, then kill him when he gets injured trying to appease them by playing even though he shouldn't. Here is what should be apparent to everyone he can't play 75-80 games physically he just can't. Shaq didn't either during his last three years on the Lakers and no one cares now.

Embiid is not going to be remembered for the one regular-season matchup he missed. No one is going to care forget in five years in a week it won't be a story. They will however remember a lost season though to yet another injury. The worse thing about Embiid is he seems to give a damn what these people think.

Embiid got injured trying to appease...who? Stop with this nonsense.

Joel definitely isn't ducking Jokic. I think last year was a little stupid for him to miss, but every other year was valid. If COVID interrupted 2-3 of the years he couldn't play in Denver. To lazily just scream since 2019 is intellectually dishonest and truly who cares. If a player can put up 2 back to back to masterpieces against Jokic... Seems like Jokic fans grasping at something.

Jokic is better than Joel, because he's more available than Joel. Joel is the most dominant player in the sport though... Along with Giannis who I think is the best player in the sport.
