I wouldn’t say it’s hard to post up . Joel post game just isn’t as good as it should be . He also doesn’t have the strength needed to dominate the post. I’ve seen him get pushed around countless times

He’s gotta lose some weight so he can add consistent rim running to his game.
He would be a monster in the triangle offense, but that’s not where the league is at.

He needs to get stronger and more refined in the post and the Sixers need to get him some scoring threats on the outside so he can have more room to operate.
Wish we could get him in LA. He’d fit with AD well.

I think Embiid is the best post player in the league. I don't think it's strength, it's stamina. He can't dominate in the post throughout a 48 minute game.

In part he's right but he also should know this and drop weight and become more mobile. Instead of trying to go through dudes go around them or past them. He has the footwork. But I have complained in the past in how inconsistent the reffing of post play is. They'll let defenders get away with a lot of bumping but if the offensive player bumps into the defender it's one flop away from an offensive foul.

Shaq, his soft goofy ass can't even be Corliss Williamson.
I don't ever remember seeing a Center in the post looking for the refs to bail him out every time he gets the ball.
Boston has no big man, none what so ever. You telling me you can't put up 30 a game on Theis, lol.

The Celtics are also a hell of a basketball team.
Yeah, 76ers got some weaknesses, but let's see how the rest of the tournament plays out.
If they run through Toronto, then Mil/Mia, losing only 1 or 2 games along the way, it puts this loss in context.
Doubly so if the Cs somehow make it to and win the finals vs whoever comes out of the west.
Granted, the 76ers were only a 6 seed, so there are 5 teams better than them in the conference, and it doesn't seem like they have a clear path UP... but before you start kicking players to the curb, it helps to see who you lost to.
