JoJo is 3rd in frontcourt votes for the East. So far he is a starter an All-star starter.

I would love to see JoJo start! Let’s get him some more votes!

Embiid wasn't even listed on the injury report today so that is a good sign for him playing tonight obviously.

I can’t imagine Jojo missing a game against Drummond unless he is seriously restricted physically, especially after Drummond called him out for not playing back to backs.

Is Drummond playing though? I think that he has been out recently.

As long as he can use Twitter that is active enough. (-;

Only 1 TO tonight. Would be great to see him bring it under 4 per 36 by the end of the season. Currently at 4.8.

But what about load management and stuff like that?

Going to be tough with his usage. His turnover percentage has been solid for a while.

I think that's trolling/acknowledging draymond also. Draymond commented on one of his pictures after the Phoenix game (when they blew a lead before pulling it out) "You weak!!! You didn't end it like you should've bum." And it also goes back to the Warriors game where Embiid tweeted "now we know how it feels to blow a lead" (Referring to the Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead)

Embiid's location for the above picture is "Draymond Media Limited"

So many layers lol

He was third last year in voting. Issue is fans vote counts 50%. Players and coaches 25% each.

Players voted embiid 8th last season. So lots of players so do not embiid

Plus it’s 3 frontcourt players and 2back court players (I think....I know the one who gets most votes gets to pick the players from either conference).

Embiid should make it as a reserve player at min . And LeBron and Giannis have two slots locked up. So does kyrie and derozen.

While this is not really horrible by itself(while still not cool) it worries me.. I have said again that i am afraid that Joel while truly Charming can also be a hothead.. He needs to grow up a bit and cut stuff like that out... He can Trash Talk other Players in Game and on Twitter all he wants... but everything beyond that is never good.

Simmons25 · Post #1437 » by **Simmons25** » Mon Jan 15, 2018 1:00 am

Yeah. I would probably be pissed too if some flog decided to push me and cause me to almost lose balance and fall for no reason. I understand why Joel did it but he has got to be a bit smarter.

What he did is totally ok, the issue is him not putting that effort in boxing out opposing centers for more rebounds, especially on offensive end. The stuff he does outside is irrelevant, he just needs to play better that is all.

that push off by embiid was in self defense. he should sue

It's a shame that athletes can't even interact with fans on an intimate level without someone being an idiot and ruining it.
