This is a horrendous organization from top to bottom. I thought the Philly media was supposed to be tough? I haven't seen it with the Sixers.

And it all it does is throw off the offense.

When the Celtics saw that Embiid couldn't dominate ,even with mismatches in the paint and PG couldn't get past anyone it gave them a boost of confidence.

Not sure why the offense wasn't focused more on Maxey who at this point is the only player with an advantage(speed) against the celtics

they are only "tough" on the players. They don't want to lose their inside sources by going at any of the FO dudes lol. The Media and the so called fans (not us insane idiots who are here no matter what) are all full of hot air and always have been lol. But they will ask softball questions and then write whatever hit piece that gets them clicks about the players (which tbf may be deserved at this point).

Remember Kate Fagan (I think)? She asked Doug a "tough" question and got sent to the dead zone right after lol.

At this point I really really doubt if there's one team who would be willing to trade for Embiid. He's nearly unplayable right now no matter how his stats look like. Hopefully PG can regain his value a bit at the end of the season there's still some hope there.

Tank, get the 2nd overall pick, draft Ace Bailey, have another tough contested jumper scorer.

Fire Nurse & Morey!

He is agonizing to watch. Can handle the ball and jump out of the building at 6'8, but always gets blocked and can't hit a jumper. Also makes the worst decisions. Completely negates the cool steals or hustle plays he makes.

At this point, might as well send in Howard Eskin.

I can’t believe Darryl signed Embiid to an extension I mean seriously

I checked out as soon as the organization pulled that dodgy bull 2 days before the season opener announcing that Embiid was having knee issues.

Aside from Embiid being a playoff beta who should've been traded two offseasons ago (instead of being extended a year early with his injury history) our training staff is legitimately deadly and our incompetent organization has no intentions to change it.

We'll watch Boston own us for eons.

Just sit everyone, I'm done with it. Jojo, get a damn surgery to fix that knee. You too PG.

I'm so sick of thinking about medical when the staff should be doing it.

SixthStreet · Post #77 » by **SixthStreet** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 4:30 am

Embiid cannot play defense in this form. He absolutely has to be shut down. This is pure negligence if they don't. It isn't really even a tanking issue. He's not helping this team win games with his complete inability to defend.

Mik317 · Post #78 » by **Mik317** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 4:50 am

maybe Jo is playing 5-D chess and taking on the tank commander role himself.

Love you Mik.... but Embiid will always be injured, injury prone, and suck against elite teams because they've exposed how soft he actually is.

When you gave him an extension you committed to a long term with this player, not some idiotically delusional one lost season drive to catch non-existent lightning in a bottle. You rest him, get him the surgery and rest him to allow for a better future for Embiid and the team whether you plan on keeping or trying to move him this summer. There is literally no upside to continuing to play a clearly injured Embiid even one more minute this year.
