Embiid to miss game 1 vs Miami with concussion and orbital fracture

[PierceFan4ever]

As a Celtics fans who dislikes everything about Philadelphia sports, I feel bad for y’all for the scumbag **** the raptors pulled on embiid. I have respect for embiid since he plays through his injuries and cares about the game. Salty fanbase could not handle embiid having a little fun after all the taunting raptors fans were giving him throughout the series. When Trae Young was getting booed by the Knicks and he was dominating in the playoffs, nothing happened yet that pos Siakam who has a history of dirty plays does a cheap shot late. You got that trash commentator saying that was justified makes it sick. They already looked like trash after cheering when Durant blew his Achilles so this doesn’t shock me.

They know they were never relevant and never will be, so like a child they act out and take this path in order to be seen. Sad stuff.

If I had two good shots at a championship snuffed out by the same team, I'd be salty as well. If we are talking irrelevance though, 39 years is a pretty long time

I hope he heals up nicely. I don't like his flopping or his franchise but some things are bigger than basketball.

The best part was that it was right after he taunted the Raptors. What a dummy lol, taunted then got socked in The eye and it cost him the playoffs.
Maybe try not to be such an idiot next time lol.
Another year of Embiids prime gone…at least harden is young and in shape!

Just want to highlight how classless this is.

A lot of people have said it already but it seems like you ah ent actually gotten the lesson.

Man this is brutal. Really hope Maxey/Harden can figure something out against Miami. Jo is probably my favorite non Celtic in the league. **** I was so excited to see you guys against Miami. ****, hope you guys can hang in there until he gets back

Friday night. Some drunk old guy lol. Who cares. Anyway, Embiid and Siakam have a history. Both of them taking some cheap shots over the years. I don't doubt Pascal put some extra aggressiveness into that drive being embarrassed on his home court. Not that his intended outcome was to break Embiid's face, but it's heat of the moment stuff.

Joel's been fairly 'healthy' in the playoffs lately but seems this one is going to be the toughest blow yet. I don't see him returning for the Heat series which very well may be the end to the year for the Sixers. Really need Harden to go off for 30+ in few games and make Reed a 15/10 guy in Embiid's absence.

Raps fan coming in peace.

Sorry to hear about Embiid, that sucks, it looked bad, but I thought it was just a little cut. It was a dangerous elbow by Siakam, but I don't think it was in any way intentional. He said in his post game presser that it was unintentional and that he felt bad and apologized to Embiid after the game. The timing of if it looked bad, but Siakam didn't even care about the airplane celebration and said that Embiid's team was winning and he should be able to celebrate however he wants.

That being said, it was a dangerous play and I'm surprised it wasn't ruled a flagrant 1.

Here is the Siakam post game where he talks about it.

Just like when Embiid stepped on Scotties foot, this was unintentional. I don't want Philly fans thinking it was intentional in any way.

The starters on both teams should have been pulled by that point...especially on the Philly side.

Hopefully Embiid comes back soon. Game 6 opened my eyes to your teams potential. I have nothing but respect and I'd rather see you guys make the finals than Boston.

Siakam is scum who always tries to start sht with Embiid like tripping him in the last series and trying to scuffle with him earlier this one. Embiid is a class act and doesn't retaliate because they're from the country and he's a good guy, but Siakam can't help himself. I refuse to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one, sorry.

Let’s just hug it out.

If Embiid can forgive Siakam, then so should we

Btw, I think what Siakam did was intentional. When he brought the ball high, it was just high enough to hit the face. And there was a precedent before to initiate that. Its not like a random act.

But again, let’s forgive and move on.

This is an opportunity to show we are a classy fanbase.

You’re on a Sixer board almost two days after a 35 point asswhooping at home and I’m the salty one?

Man I hope you truly cherish and keep 2019 near and dear to your heart because you get less respect league wide for that charity ring than the Lakers do for their bubble ring. Let that sink in.

Hey all,

Thanks for using the report function, there was a lot of rubbish in this thread, especially early on. Unfortunately I wasn't on early enough to ban at the start, but there are several posters who should not be visiting again for a while. Reporting is the best way to deal with these types of posts, so thanks for showing a bit of personal restraint. If you struggled in showing said restraint, we will all just try a bit harder next time.

Carry on.

Schadenfreude at its best. Greetings from Canada.
