this honestly is the worst one. No real excuses or people he can defer blame towards. This is his MVP season, and Tatum dropped 51 on them. The Hawks one is bad, but you can at least blame that on Simmons, this one... him and Harden sold.

Doc using the same "no one picked us to win" excuse I see

Nope. I don't think Miami would want him. I would be more curious to see how KAT would be with Riley, Haslam and Mourning's influence though.

Ask Jimmy

Embiid is going to get a majority of the blame from the fans and the media, and rightfully so, but at the same time this Sixers teams just don't have the pieces to maximize his talent

The Sixers do not have a dominant consistent playmaker to compliment Embiid, to get him in the spots for him to get easy baskets. This series showed how difficult it was for him to get past the Celtics defensive wall because he had to generate his own shots. Look what Lebron has done for Anthony Davis on the Lakers

On top of that, the Sixers have one of the worst perimeter defenders in the league outside of Melton, who is undersized. Only the Bucks have a worst perimeter defensive lineup. Joel has to do EVERYTHING for them defensively. So many times you had Jayson, Jaylen, Brogdon, and Smart consistently get in the paint so easily only for Embiid being forced to bail the Sixers out on the backline to block shots. He just does not have help offensively and defensively

Get the right pieces around him, and the Sixers would be in a great position

While I did notice that he always has to create for himself, what is Doc coaching? The ball movement is poor. 80% of the attack is just Embiid getting the ball up top with two guys on him. Doc has to do better than.

I agree. I know this will never happen, but a coach like Stan Van Gundy would do wonders for him. He is a great big man coach that was the Coach for Dwight Howard, Shaq, and Zion. Embiid needs a coach that understands how to coach big men, how to get him easy baskets, how to have plays that start with him deep in the paint, etc

Vs Atlanta they lost to a younger team full of relative randoms and a star who’s actually regressed since. As have the Hawks as a team. And it was at home

CLEARLY Atlanta was the worse loss

Embiid's #1 stan is telling y'all to stay strong. #stickbythemvp

I'm one of those fans that stays calling out this bum ass fraud on twitter. It doesn't mean I'm a fake fan. It means I want what's best for the players on my team. Other top players in the league seek out former all-stars and hall of famers to help them with their game in the off season. Also seek out former championship players who can give them advice on how to approach the game in the playoffs from a mental standpoint. But somehow top players seek this dude out who's never even been in the league.

Man, fukk a Drew Hanlen

100% Facts. Drew Hanlen's influence on Tatum has done more harm than good

I rather Tatum call Olajuwon or Kevin McHale than that Planet Fitness hack weirdo
