“They want me to be Shaq but this league is different. You can't elbow people”-Joel Embiid

[phillycavsfan]

HE POST GAME IS TRASH
WHEN HE CANT BULLY GUYS.
IVE SAID IT FOR YRS.
GASOL MADE HIM LOOK
LIKE A bytch LAST YR.

4, 3, 2 & 4 BUCKETS IN THE PAINT
IN THE SERIES.

​

In the regular season Embiid posted up more than anyone in the league: 37.8 percent of possessions. The only other player who posted up more than 30 percent is Aldridge. Embiid scored more than per post-OP than any other player in the league, and among players who attempted at least 2 FG attempts in the post only Giannis, Drummond, and Jokic were more efficient.

That's all from NBA.com. With Harris and Horford refusing to shoot or make shots, and Simmons to move the defense by driving, the Celtics just collapsed on time and time again. Embiid can dominate for a half or so, but without any help he couldn't carry the team in the second half.

And I'm telling you, the problem wasn't that he couldn't bully Theis. Celtics sent help constantly because they didn't fear any of Philly's shooters besides Richardson and Burks.

ITS BEEN DISCUSSED AD NAUSEAM
IN THIS THREAD THAT DUDE
CANT HANDLE DOUBLE TEAMS.

DRIBBLES RIGHT INTO THEM,
TURNS THE BALL OVER,
CANT MAKE THE CORRECT PASS.

STILL DOESNT CHANGE THE FACT
HE CANT CONSISTENTLY BACK
GUYS DOWN AND MAKE
A SIMPLE HOOK SHOT.

ITS ALWAYS BAITING FOR FOULS,
TAKING FADE AWAY JUMP SHOTS
AND THE OCCASSIONAL DREAM SHAKE.

DUDE LOOKS SOFT AS fukk
WHEN HE CANT BULLY GUYS.

​

 

[CHICAGO]

HE NEEDS TO WORK WITH SHAQ.

IF HE COULD CONSISTENTLY
MAKE THIS SHOT
HE WOULD NEVER TAKE
A FADE AWAY AGAIN
AND WOULD AVERAGE 35+ POINTS
ON 60%FG IN 2DAYS LEAGUE.

NO ELBOWS,
NO LOWERING OF THE SHOULDER,
NO BULLYING.

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.

AD don’t need to be standing out by the 3 point line

I hate to say it but Jj reddikk and Jimmy was the heart of that team.

Agree with this. Never understood why Embid does that akward turnaround jumpshot when he's deep in the paint instead of a jump hook.

Also, Embid should watch his mouth, he isnt half as skilled as Shaq was. I hate when nikkas act like Shaq was just muscling nikkas and dunking over them.

 

[The God Poster]

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.

Nah I’ve consistently seen him get pushed around in the post . No amount of stamina will help that . His base isn’t where it needs to be .

Also as others have stated he needs to stay in the weight room & practice post moves & passing out the double . If Philly decides to build around him he has to get better in that aspect .

Joel's right. He's easily the best post player in the league, and when you consider that he's a master at drawing fouls and good at making them there's another layer of danger there that Shaq never had(not saying he's Shaq-tier offensively).

Even with the soft as rules dude is completely unguardable 1-on-1, but they're able to throw doubles at him and do things to deter him in ways they couldn't with Shaq. Breh also has to operate with negative floor spacing.

 

[FTBS]

It's true. Not to mention teams can zone and get away with way more around the basket while you can't look to hard at someone on the perimeter. Also doesn't have a Penny,Kobe or D. Wade.

 

[UserNameless]

You know he getting called all types of names for that “stupid question” comment

 

[krazykid18]

@CHICAGO is right in this argument ,

THE "BEST POST PLAYER
IN THE LEAGUE"
WENT A WHOLE SERIES WITHOUT
MAKING ONE SIMPLE HOOK SHOT
OVER A 6'8 CENTER.

KAT IS A MORE SKILLED POST PLAYER
THAN EMBIID ALSO, HES JUST
SOFT ASS shyt AT TIMES.

SO IS JAHLIL OKAFOR
BUT HE DAMN NEAR BLACK BALLED
HIMSELF OUT THE LEAGUE
DUE TO HIS IMMATURITY IN PHILLY.

EMBIID HAS GOTTEN BY
OFF BULLY TACTICS AND JUMP SHOTS
HIS WHOLE CAREER AND
IT ALWAYS CATCHES UP TO HIM
IN THE PLAYOFFS.

I ROOT FOR EMBIID BECAUSE
I WANT THE LEAGUE TO HAVE
DOMINANT POST PLAYERS
BUT DUDE IS FLASHY
FOOLS GOLD.
