Kuminga been a bright spot for GSW
On another note, Embiid looks like he's gonna miss a week at least

 

[Nero Christ]

tryna dance like a guard*

He's gonna have to simplify his game...high & low post ups, pick n rolls, and catch and shoots

 

[SchoolboyC]

This nikka

Outside of Maxey, Sixers have failed to surround Embiid with talent that compliments his game

This goes way past Embiid, it was the same thing with Allen Iverson, decades worth of mismanagement and incompetence

 

[GoldenGlove]

Sixers gonna have to wrap Joel in bubble wrap, get Maxey healthy, and get a more reliable no. 3 that Tobias or have him take another step

Zach LaVine is available

big fool tryna get shifty like a hummer tryna carve a tight turn HA*

 

[Nero Christ]

Zach LaVine is available

He damn sure is

 

[JoelB]

This team will never win anything, I just enjoy the regular season success

Terrible management of players from the top down

We were gonna be the #2 seed and now we'll be lucky to be the 6th seed come playoff time.

He's getting hurt with these fluke ass knee bumps too... We tried load management, we tried playing him regular...his body just aint built for an 82 game season.

Shouldn't have been out there to begin with

yup...Sixers will have to treat him like Kawhi going forward

Facts. His best teammate was Mutombo and Eric Snow? Smh
And anytime he got real talent they were on a different timeline. Andre Iguodala was too young, Chris Webber was too old

Embiid needs to play like Shaq on the Lakers. Powerful decisive moves, pick and roll, Alley oops, hook shots, drop steps, etc etc

It would preserve his body

Yeah his body definitely isn’t built for it, just extremely injury prone. It’s the drawback of him being other worldly talented as he is. That’s another reason why I don’t think we can ever win, but with a talent like Joel you just pray to get 1 magical year where he’s healthy and keep trying until his body is totally finished.

I disagree, he would still get injured, his body can’t hold up in a heavy contact style of basketball like Shaq played. He has to play with finesse, losing weight would preserve his career but I highly doubt that happens at age 30, he is who he is at this point.

 

[JoelB]

He's been playing more like Dirk this season than a traditional center. Everything has jab step, jab step, pull-up. He cant dumb down his game more than that...

His biggest problem is his weight, he needs to get in shape. It effects his balance, especially when he does those guard moves, which causes the constant falling down and knee pain. Also contributes to his endurance towards the end of the season and the playoffs. I have no idea why he does not take his weight loss seriously
