Joel Embiid should be better than a easy 1st round exit

Once they flip Ben and Tobias they’ll be a lot better

Y'all cats can't see the forest for the trees.

Why do you think there's been an overwhelming, conservative groan about the game not being what it used to be?

Cats running to ignorance when they're slapped with reality.

they looked so much better when they had JJ and Marco. also, it goes back to what @Gil Scott-Heroin says. him and I have been saying the same thing for a while now, mainly in defense of AD because people kept saying he was overrated because he didnt have any real playoff success with N.O.

Even tho Joel didn't play in this game we were at the peak of our powers with this group this game..We got rid of our snipers & it's been downhill since

Let's see what he can do with trae young

Embiid with Trae Young would be scary

Simmons would easily be the best player in the league if he had a step back like Luka/Harden

How is Embiid still out of shape after all this time off??

Joel checked out of this series. Philly fan's better hope he didn't check out in the franchise in general. Like someone said earlier in this thread. At the beginning of the second quarter you can tell Joel gave up.

He has horrible body language and I'm not sure why the media hasn't called him out on it.

Welcome to the PPP era. If you can't produce offensively, you literally have no shot. This is why Ja probably should have been #1 last year regardless of how good Zion looked in college. Luka and Trae should have went 1 and 2 in 2018 and Melo should be #1 this year. Because scoring+playmaking is leads to a lot of open high-value points, high value points actually made leads to PPP. Point per possession is the name of the game. We graduated from the school of momentum (Kobelogy), to the school of shooting and kinetics (Stephlogy) to the school of high-value points (Luka/Ja/Trae/Steph/Bron/Harden/Jokic). Scoring+playmaking is where it's at in 2020. I honestly feel like we are going back to the 80s to some degree where that was valued but truth is, it's all about the talent around the league. The league can only give you, what it produces.

Great post. Do you think Wolves are gonna take Melo? And would Harden help or hurt Embiid?

No, they should but they won't. They will take Edwards because he looks the part.

Help. Harden proved this year, he doesn't need screens which Embiid is bad at.

Melo already looking like a Penny 2.0
