Philly bouls, Trust the Process
Our roster construction is literally as bad as it could possibly be. No shooters to space the floor allowing people to double team the shyt out of him, no ball handlers capable of penetrating or running PnR to get him easy looks around the rim, no one even capable of throwing him a damn entry pass in the post, and to top it all off a god awful coach who doesn't call nearly enough plays for the guy.

Boston has had no answer for Joel, I hate watching our god awful management fail him like this

TYRONE GA!
Embiid is a generational talent imo.

Just very poor handling and building around him. They have no idea what they’re doing up in Philly front office.

Sign Al "Me No Rebound Papi" Horford to 4 years/109 million brehs...... :mjlol:

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.

New Orleans problem was more so the fact that they rushed to build a team around AD and mortgaged future assets to make it happen. One of those trades literally consisted of trading a FIRST ROUND PICK for Omer Asik.

Whiffing on the Fultz trade is what really did Philly in, so I’m not going to place full blame on Elton Brand. If Fultz came what they thought he would be, then they never would have needed to trade for Butler and Harris nor felt the need to give him a max contract. They would have also had an extra first round pick to draft and develop a player of their choosing.

Goin on his 4th year and 25 years old he should be better than easy work for Boston in the 1st round. He had crazy hype!

3 years ago, it I told you Joel Embiid entering his prime was the best player on the team with Tobias Harris, Al Horford, Josh Richardson around him, and no Lebron in the East, you would think he’d be running the East.

i come in here and read through threads and often wonder why more cats in here aren't boxing....golf....or tennis fans.....because obviously a lot of you STILL have no concept of how TEAM games work....


it's interesting to behold..:francis:

This isn’t college, stars run the NBA and Embiid should be able to carry his team past the 1st round in the East at this stage of his career.

I'm glad folks can finally acknowledge big men don't have impact in today's game like they did in the past. I've been trying to tell cats for a minute.

:mjgrin:
Who said the big men have the same impact ? It’s a whole new league style . Why would they?

Also if Embiid had more shooters it would make them more dangerous. Allow him to eat or get killed from 3.

Agendas :mjlol:

No ....a one man Embiid should not be able to carry a team past a much better Celtic team .

Still as a #1 option a team is far better off with Embiid than your boy

Lebron had his squad in the finals with Mo Williams as his 2nd option, Embiid could at least be competing for the Eastern conference finals considering the hype he’s had up to this point

This is hilarious coming from you.

your dumb ass criticizes LeBron for needing shooters around him & a certain set of teammates.

yet here you’re saying the same thing for Embiid. Where’s the vile hate you have for Embiid for needing shooters that your stupid ass gives to Bron every day?
:dead:COMPARE A PERIMETER
PLAYER TO A CENTER IDIOT.


ALL YOURE DOING IS HIGHLIGHTING
BRONS LIMITED SKILLSET.

The East is much better now.
What don’t you understand about Boston being a much better team ? Embiid is great but he’s no Bron .

Let’s not talk about hype ...

Ya boy Simmons is no Embiid or Bron . Would make a great 3rd star on a team tho .
