2024 Olympics/Embiid Watch Thread

Guys, Paul George is post-prime. Embiid is entering post-prime. However, Maxey is entering prime. We're still going to win the title in either 2025 or 2026. Guranteed.

He just doesnt get it.

All the signs are there, hes more of a Harden than a LBJ, MJ or Kobe.

My God this is worse than doping !

Meh we have plenty of good reasons to criticize Joel. Him taunting the crowd and airballing a half court shot is not something I’m concerned about lol

If you look back at 76ers history you'd be hard pressed to find many likable 76ers stars that were held in high regards when they played by other fans and the NBA at large. I mean everyone loved/loves Doc. AI no. Barkley no. Joel is just keep the tradition going. But Maxey will break the mold.

*Edit...OMG I forgot to add Ben Simmons to the not likable 76ers list.

Lol with Biid the problem is not the tauting per se, the way he did it shows you hes in his feelings like a small child.

Just one more sign he doesnt have the correct mental profile for the task we expecting him to do.

We get it dude. You keep repeating yourself over and over again. I get that doing so is self-soothing for you. I do apologize in advance if you suffer from some sort of disorder. I was reading a bit about Palilalia, and it sounds rough to deal with if that is what you're dealing with. Hopefully, this isn't some early onset of dementia that you are suffering from. If so, I'd look into it. You could also have some repetition compulsion going on. Either way, I'm trying to be supportive here. I'm definitely not trying to shame you for it. As nicely as I can put this though...We get it...We've heard you. There is no reason to keep driving the same irritating point you are trying to make home.

Especially after they've been booing his ass for two hours.

Yea, it actually felt like the whole thing was in good fun with embiid and the crowd. Like very wwe, playing the villain. Wasn’t actually a big deal imo.

Can’t believe anyone would seriously care about that play. He actually looked good today offensively and defensively. Wish he could’ve got a couple of those jumpers at the nail to fall. Also loved seeing him use the right baby hook…that shot could pay dividends if he keeps at it.

I don't get why its a problem. I watched the game and I don't even remember it. What does bother me is the hate from whoever is posting now (not sure they are actually Sixers fans).

Leave Jojo alone, He's playing at half speed which he should be doing. If he is hurt or injured, I hope they are looking at that. What I love is he can't sit around eating Cheetos all summer, he will be in better shape for the start of the season.

This. He played better today and I love seeing that baby hook from him which he needs in his arsenal.. Still perplexed as to why he won't loose weight but I'm looking forward to seeing him learn from his olympic experience.

Nah, I really do like him every year until the playoffs come around. Then I can’t stand him until training camp, it’s a vicious cycle :lol:

Aw, aren’t you two cute.

Here’s more advice, you both could stand to not be so much in your feels about another man’s fandom. Very weird stuff there.

Been a fan of the SIXERS way before Joel and will be a fan way after Joel. The ride is fun!
