Nope, it is because Brook Lopez is one of the worst matchups for him, kinda like Horford or Gasol were in the past.


Hence why I've always wanted him to develop a regular sky hook a la Kareem to use against bigger and longer centers that he's not going to overpower in the post.

No different than anyone else on this team.


But it's especially a bad look for Embiid, given that this is a statement game....how bad does he want it? Apparently, he's crumbling at the worst possible time....


Maybe he's made peace with the fact that this team isn't good enough. No point in over exerting himself for scrubs lol

Wide open shots after wide open shots.

This has been a theme for weeks and no adjustments.

It’s like thinking a running back can be the featured player on a Super Bowl team. Not happening In today’s game.

Maybe now people is finally convinced we need to rebuild, wasn't the whole point of the process to not be a perennial treadmill team? but that's what I see right now, time to admit it, the process failed (due to many circumstances of course), we can't keep just running variations of the same **** every year with the same result, won't work.

No I am right

I will go on a rant one of these days as to why

I have been watching Embiid since he put on a Sixers jersey. He's just not built to be that

I've said it before and I'll say it again. He needs to stop trying to carry the load on offense and focus more energy on anchoring the defense. Let Harden and Maxey carry the load offensively. It's simply too difficult to effectively run an offense through your big man in today's NBA. Then again, I also blame the coach for letting it happen.

He’s not built to be that emotionally speaking, and today’s NBA doesn’t permit winning at that level when the featured player is a center.

I'll be the one to say it, because I'm not a coward.

We really need Tobias out there, missing him is probably the second worst injury that could happen after Embiid.

Return to Philadelphia 76ers
