Joel Embiid -- The Process is now Live

[LongLiveHinkie]

You are taking evidence that proves you were wrong, and trying to use it to show that you were right.

Take the 'L' my brother, it's not the end of the world. I said they were lying, and they were lying. Bottom line. My only misstep was thinking my team who had treated Embiid with kid gloves the entire time would be smart enough to not let a guy with a torn meniscus practice, run, and jump.... oh, and play in the Houston game. I won't make that mistake again, but the fact that they were hiding something and/or lying was dead-on correct on my part, and many others who said as much.

Take the L?

You claimed that they were lying about him being injured, and you were wrong.

Regardless, I didn't call you out because I knew that you were wrong. I have no more knowledge of the details than you do.

I called you out because you fly off the handle constantly and immediately leap to the emotional hot takes, and then in complete hypocrisy were seen calling other people out for their hottakes, and denied that you ever have hot takes.

So you are the pot calling the kettle black. It's the knee jerk reactions, and the hypocrisy that I am calling out, and not any given hot take.

Now in complete delusion you see evidence that what you were charging them with just two days ago was wrong, and you believe that it validates you. This is pathological.

Wrong. I stated all along he was either injured more seriously than they let on or they he wasn't as hurt as they let on and he was tanking. Either way, they lied about him being injured. Either not as much or more severe. The basic premise was correct. The specifications I leaned toward were not.

You kept getting on me about calling them liars. "So you think they're lying??? They're telling you what the injury is, you just choose not to believe them" to loosely quote you. And I responded by saying: "Yes, I think they're lying."

Guess what? They were lying.

Again. You said that they were keeping him out, and he was uninjured, and they were lying about it. That paraphrase of my comments was in that context.

It was a pure conspiracy theory that was proven wrong. I said, you are calling Embiid a liar too, and you said no, just them. Then Embiid came out and confirmed that he was injured, which means that you had to now be thinking that he was lying.

Plus, I obviously didn't know about the meniscus, but if I did, my position would be the same. He is injured, needs rest, and will play when he doesn't have pain anymore. Keep calm and carry on. That is what is still the case. Whether he plays before or after the all star game we can't have him playing on an injured knee.

You flutter all over the place on everything, but some how have convinced yourself that you are a rational, and logical person. I find that annoying, and it annoys me that someone that purports to support the process would be so quick to jump off the Ben franklin bridge at the slightest discomfort. After all, you were the guy that dramatically declared that you were done with the team when Hinkie left. You changed your name and came right back as if you didn't do that.

Brett Brown has been excellent the whole time for example, but you were very adamant that he was horrible and needed to go, now that they started winning you suddenly think that he is doing something different when in reality you were just shown to be wrong. Oh well, move on to the next crisis. When we see how it turns out with Embiid, and it is the opposite of what you were charging, it goes right over your head, and you move on to the next crisis.

THAT is what I am railing against, and not any individual opinion that you, or anyone else has.

I don't flutter on anything. I have no agenda, bias, or anything of the sort. I keep a cool head, think logically and rationally, and give my thoughts on the situation. It's what I pride myself on, what I'm known for by everyone who knows me. I had no beef with Colangelo before any of this. Fact is, I was one of the few who defended him, and I loved Hinkie, but I always said be fair to Colangelo until there was a reason to be pissed. Now there is.

I may have been off on the reason they were lying, but I was right that they were lying. The latter supersedes the former, because the reason I'm angry is because they were lying and hiding stuff from the fans and media. What they were lying about is irrelevant to me, I didn't really care, I just had theories. But something clearly was amiss, I stated this several times(as did many other posters) and that is what angered me. The fact that the evidence wasn't lining up with what they were saying publicly, and I just stated this in this very thread. Something was off, and I called them out on it. I just was off on what exactly they lied about.

I took issue with you coming at me and calling me reactionary, when I'm nothing of the sort. I accused them of lying and they lied. Bottom line. The reason you called me reactionary was you said I had no basis to call them liars, and I tried to explain to you why I did and why nothing they were saying made any sense. I think with my head, not my heart, and I don't let emotions come into play. I just tell it how I see it, and if people disagree, that's fine, but I don't care about "hot takes" I care about being correct.

Bryan Colangelo went on the air twice in the same week and flat out lied to the fan base after saying in his introductory press conference how "transparent" he'd be after subtly bashing his predecessor in Hinkie for not being transparent. He's a hypocrite, and a liar, and as someone who defended him I have every right to be pissed about it and call him out on it, and that isn't a "hot take" that's just reality.

Oh well. Hope he is finally back and healthy after the break.

[XDevilBoiX]

Let him sit the rest of the year to rehabilitate, we don't need him the rest of the year anyways. Good for our last year of tanking.

I agree now. Just let him and Simmons sit...get a top 3 or 4 pick and be ready for a 45 win season next year.

Embiid has posted stuff to Instagram two days in a row about the "great" workouts he's having.

Good to hear.

[cksdayoff]

you guys think there is any way to fix how he awkwardly lands? is it leg strength?

I said before, I would think there are knee braces that can help until he knows how to land.

I don't follow twitter or instagram. Did he come up with new dance moves?

Agreed. Shut down Embiid and Simmons rest of the season. Play Noel 38 mins/game then trade him draft night.

He SUCKS at dancing. I'm mean he's really bad and shouldn't do it anymore

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Knee braces lol, for some reason I picture Embiid out on the court with the same braces Forrest Gump had as a child.

"Nerlens showed me how to land, and I showed him how to dangle....Nerlens was my best good friend"

[eagereyez]

I think it's his balance. His movements aren't completely fluid right now. Very herky-jerky and stiff. He should get in contact with whoever Westbrook worked out with that helped him play a little more under control. That seems to have helped Westbrook with his landings as well.

He was lip syncing some Blueprint 2 ("H-O-V-A I got my mojo back baby")

they both look healthy and if they are able to play, they should play. Especially Biid has to play. If he isn't even able to play 40+ Games a season, then I think the sixers are in big trouble.

[CoreyGallagher]

If Embiid were healthy he'd be an All Star with Kevin Love having surgery...
