Is it safe to say Embild is back?

Hell of a game from him by halftime

Even if he doesn’t return to his MVP days, he’s proven he can still be a great player.

Nah. I mean offensively he’s great but it feels like he just doesn’t have it in him to be the defensive presence he used to be. I think the 6ers are a bottom five transition defense w him on vs a top 5 transition defense w him off this year

Wait - he was able to score more than 20!? Isn’t he a shell of himself?

i am not gonna lie, after last season and the beginning of this season i had very little hope for him to be anything like this again, but it just goes to show what happens when you let someone recover instead of rushing him out to play injured every year.

Nah don’t do that. 23-24 embiid was literally playing basketball at a level that hasn’t been touched this decade inc jokic giannis etc. He can be a great player now while being a shell of that dude because of how special that dude was

Both him and Nurkic must have new girlfriends or something bringing the home cooking.

how many of those points were on wemby? i think it was like 20? still a lot but he didnt score 70 on wembys head

Thats because they hid wemby and he was in foul trouble for much of it. Its fine to admit he got cooked in that game, Wemby is a much better player today than he was back then and Embiid is worse.

I would like to see a rematch of Victor against THAT Embiid but we’ll take what we can. Hopefully Joel can play himself back close to that prime version of himself.

Why does Embiid love kicking the Knicks’ asses so much lmfao

ChickenLiverNuts | PHI

1 | 15 minutes ago

he def tried harder in this game than he has all season. Hes been holding back and not jumping as much or driving to the hoop to preserve himself and stay healthy. That seemed to not be the case today.

he hates the knicks i guess lol

shame the rest of the team shat down their pants because this was an iconic performance to announce that he is back back. I mean he posted his stare down of Sengun after his triple double with “Furk” who was a former teammate that said Sengun was the better player. Troel and Joel are back.

Professor_Finn | 76ers

Give up dude. I’ve seen plenty of Nuggets fans giving Embiid his flowers lately, Jokic is hurt. This is stupid. It seems like every good thread about Embiid has you in the replies talking about Jokic when no one even brought him up. Why does he live rent free in your head? Can’t they both be good? It makes us look bad

Pipedmeat | 76ers

-5 | 3 hours ago

Remember when people were calling for the 65-game rule to be abolished because jokic got hurt for a few weeks? Then when kuminga landed on embiid’s knee, those same people were calling him a fraud and ducker? The double standard is fucking ridiculous

A few idiots = the entire comment section under Embiid hate posts that used to reach the front page of this sub. Since embiid’s recent play, everyone’s acting like they weren’t hoping for embiid to retire early

Fun fact, the lowest amount of games Jokic has played in a regular season is more than the highest amount of games Embiid has played in a regular season

Pipedmeat | 76ers

That’s true. Also fun fact, Embiid is probably the most injury prone player in NBA history and still won an MVP over your ironman

Which grants him the distinction of being the only MVP in NBA history to not make a conference final

Well done, Embiid!

Japanese soldier who kept fighting after 27 years. Just enjoy your franchise superstar man, has been fun to see him perform today and recently, who knows how many years he will perform at this level. Next thing you know, 5 years later and he retires

Nah this is a Japanese soldier still fighting in 1943. Embiid winning finals and finals mvp this year.

And it will be against real competition not like that Mickey Mouse championship by Jokic

Come back here when Embiid loses in the first round again

Joel Embiid has 28 points on 92.8% TS in the first half. It’s the most he’s scored in a half since 2 years ago, when he dropped a career high 70 against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs (34 1H, 36 2H)
