Cavs owe us a beat down. We swept them last year.

He's trying to generate points, historically the league allows it. If they cut down on it every game he'll adapt. I agree that it can get annoying, but if no one else is hitting, and he can't make shots I'd rather he try other stuff then just give up.

Just because the league allows it doesn't change the fact that it has made the game **** to watch. I hate that the league encourages it and I hate watching it. I've watched fewer Sixers games this year than normal because of Embiid. I'd rather watch a young team like OKC that doesn't scream and flop looking for fouls on every shot, then mouth off when the flop is not paid. I'd rather watch Philly lose with other players than watch Embiid win at this stage

Dean Wade looks like a guy named Dean Wade who drinks Starbucks and plays basketball.

They beat a poor magic team and a hawks team full of mental midgets and believed their own hype.

This is on the coach as well as the players. Some of this is thinking their **** doesn't stink. They were a little too high on themselves. But this is how the team has always been. Can never get on a consistent winning streak. Even when we were 1st in the east the most games we won was 6 in a row or something. That's on mental toughness, and being consistent. Coaching and players are both responsible. Starts with Embiid, but the others absolutely have to step up. He is the most consistent, and when he's got a bad game, others need to step up.

Nope they played a good team and are getting exposed. No Maxey and Harden with a bad coach and Embiid chose the wrong time to disappear

Switching over to the OKC game, but before I go I just want to remind everyone that House and Harrell have player options on their contracts next year, and Tucker has another 2 years earning $11m per year. All three would not get picked up if they were waived right now, and probably would have struggled to get one-year minimum contracts from anyone else when Philly contracted them.

Looking at the team's pluse minues, Embiid a -15, everyone else is a -28.

Eh, 2nd game back, and he really only played great the 2nd half last game. I'm not worried about him, but you're right no everything else.

Jo has not been a great rebounder this season. He mentioned boxing out messes up his fingers, so that's a concern, especially when eh said he's not sure if it'll ever be the same.

I see that our highest paid player has a whopping 3 points. Yikes.

ExplosionsInDaSky · Post #54 » by **ExplosionsInDaSky** » Thu Dec 1, 2022 2:03 am

Oooh I'm reminded real quick to stay outta here when we lose. The haters and Negatives crawl out from the cracks to make comments. We even have Rocket fans on here. Yeah I'm out.

people think it don't be like that but it do

you know sometimes you can lose and it doesn't have to be an inditement on whole careers or blaming people.

sometimes you get hit in the mouth and can't respond.

this was one of those nights lol. they hit shots. We didn't..

Just one game where Embiid plays merely good and all I see is Embiid hate all over the place again. All I see is by far the best +/- of our starting lineup, with an AST/TO ratio of 6 combined with 3 steals, he played with poise and did very few mistakes, that's what you want to see from your superstar, yeah eventually your are going to have a bad shooting night like today, but he did all the little things that are underrated and the box score can't capture.

Not only did the Sixers overpay them, but they also gave up two 2nd rounders for House and Tucker.

We keep signing terrible players in the offseason, I mean, we have 1 guy in the SL that can't even score 4 PPG FFS. But somehow Embiid is to blame.

Clearly the key to success is when PJ Tucker does not score, those are the games we win, lol.
