Don't you think it's bad that someone of his star power needs to "ramp up" instead of being in shape?

Of course it's bad, but facts are the facts. He doesnt do much in the summer and uses the first 2 weeks of the season as training camp.

It took him about a week to ramp up after the injury and he gave the Knicks 33/11/6 once his conditioning improved.

I wish it was different but ive seen this movie before :yeshrug:

I will say even with a "healthy" Embiid, AD is just a better fit for the team because he makes quicker decisions and is more versatile defensively

Jo is a ball stopper and will pump fake, foul bait, and dribble nikkas to death. He plays hero ball. He's gonna have to play a different style which he hasn't done before.\

AD/Bam/Tatum were excellent choices got damn :wow:

Nurse had to play him the entire 4th quarters bc we kept blowing leads when he sat. Embiid's body/conditioning is not built for that.



He now has Drummond, PG, All-star Maxey, etc. so he has to learn to play a different way. I hope Team USA teaches him that lesson because scoring at Wilt Chamberlain pace is not sustainable.

Those around Joel have to come thru

He's giving 30/10/5 every night. Others have to do their part
