Fat Mitch has his positives...he was able to give Embiid issues down low... something very few centers (if any)can do. I'm starting to think we should just gift wrap him until the playoffs.

Thibs needs to use Julius at the 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brunson
Divo/jhart
Mikal
Og
Julius

He needs to lean into this lineup a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Otherwise **** can hit the fan really quickly imo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The only problem with that suggestion is that when Julius was asked if he'd be ready to play at the start of the season, he said "We'll see."

That didn't sound too convincing.

that video is from june by the way, don't fall for the fat boy's tricks!!! and for all the talk about mitch's weight and health, he's played in more post season games than his guy randle. and he's played well in the playoffs compared to randle who has been historically bad. mitch has been instrumental in them winning the only 2 series they did. randle aint never help them win anything and likely never will. dunk your oreos in that you dj akademiks looking motherf*cker!!!!!

Embiid looked like Dirk Nowitzki in his very last season. Maybe that has something to do with it.

mitch is not a starter

ive been trying to tell you all this.


fat or not, FT % declining every year or not.

fat mitch has 0 positives other than accelerating the next foot injury that will retire him.


hes not a starter in this league bc hes got an accumulation of foot and leg injuries that rekt the careers of many 7 footers. he literally needs to play at a lower weight (to decrease the stress on his foot) to save his career and I doubt he realizes that.

Playing 48 minutes a game under Thibs, he will get into shape very soon...

I know you're kidding, but it's so f*cking frustrating that a multi-million dollar career is being torpedoed because of the ass-backwards assumption that body weight is about cardio.

Mitch needs to be lighter to stay healthy. Period. A better diet is 99% of what makes humans lighter. Not cardio.


I feel attacked here.

Kinda scary, but when you do well, other teams are going to make moves for your staff.

You would think that SOMEBODY in the organization or on his personal team would make it clear. I was appalled when he came back big from the foot injury last season.

It would be somewhat understandable if a normal person came back heavy after a foot injury. But a professional athlete whose livelihood depends on his foot health? A seven-footer, no less? I mean it's tens of millions of dollars on the line, but Mitch seems either unconcerned or unaware that all he really needs to do is limit his diet while he's out.

All these commentators and fans saying he needs to "play his way back into shape" are so misguided. Playing at heavy weights on a bad foot (under Thibs) is a 100% recipe for career ending injury. It's wild to me.

im sure he knows. in fact I bet thats the reason why he directly referenced the skinny mitch video earlier in the summer.


I bet that the medical team told him he has to lose xx pounds before he gets cleared for contact and weight bearing drills. assuming of course his corrective procedures have fully healed already


the reason why he hasn't been cleared yet is probably that hes still fat.
