Joel Embiid is in for tonight’s game

this guy must have the pain tolerance of a super soldier
The man fights through so many different injuries to come back and play early and some people terminally online still have the nerve to call him soft, or plays with no heart.
It’s truly pathetic
the presser last week he said he tells himself he feels good as a way to help trick himself into feeling better
Joel Embiid, on playing through injuries: “I tell my brain that I feel amazing, so I feel amazing. Hopefully my brain understands it. Sometimes it’s hard, your body tells you something different. But I feel amazing.”
Sickness… begone!!!
Gavin Free method
Or Wim Hof even - imagine them meeting each other and we end up getting Iceman Embiid at some point lol
Embiid needs to have Andrew’s nose injected into his knees.
What is game night
I mean, he flops around and constantly injures himself and other players.
I see Sixers fans say this often but I have not seen a single person call him soft
No one calls Embiid soft.
They call him a massive flopper who throws himself to the ground. Part of why he’s so reckless and an injury risk to himself and anyone near him.
He’s also a dirty player. Will never respect him after dragging Mitch by the leg to the floor. After both of them had been coming back from injuries. Genuinely insane.
E: literally first chance he gets he hooks KAT’s arm and pulls him down lol. You people blind
He flops like a soft wand. Would prob get injured less if he didn’t.
Just making shit up, huh?
No he’s a Reddit doctor
No, just my opinion based on watching him and looking like a wet noodle.
He was medically instructed to fall instead of bracing himself. By doctors.
He’s probably one of the toughest players in the NBA. People discount it because he flops on offense, but think about how many crazy injuries he’s had over the years and by the time it gets to the playoffs his body seems like its been run over by a truck.
Game 7 vs Boston people crashed into his bad knee twice in the space of a few minutes and he was still diving on the floor to make hustle plays in the clutch.
This is the coinflip of players like him and AD. You either think they’re soft pussies for missing so many games, or respect that they’re still out there putting it all on the line for their team despite knowing their limbs are about to fall off
I know he’s tough that’s why I hate him flopping around so much.
The issue is people like u who think their limbs are gonna fall off cuz u genuinly have no idea how this industry works lmao
That intentional elbow from Bridges in game 1 straight into his surgery spot was so crazy. Got me wincing in real time
“The process” is actually the super soldier serum
I hope for his and the Sixers sake he’s better than he was in game 1
This was always going to be very tough for the 76ers.
They are not a particularly deep squad, and went to 7 with a higher seed, barely winning. Bound to take plenty out of you, and Embiid was already banged up pre series.
If only they had another off the catch shooter to give them some extra spark
The guard rotation is probably the only bit that’s fine honestly. But forwards..not so much
Sixers aren’t lacking in guard depth, their issue is size and defense. Idk why y’all are obsessed McCain.
Where is this guard depth you speak of because Maxey literally played 48 minutes last game
VJ, Maxey and Grimes are all guards who are way better than McCain. Idk why ya’ll think Sixers need another guard who can’t create his own shot, playmake or defend. Just because he’s in a position to succeed on OKC doesn’t mean he would have the same success on a Sixers roster that isn’t built to hide his weaknesses.
Grimes lol way better is a stretch. McCain clears and would be their best player off the bench. He was literally on pace to win ROY before getting hurt. Either way if they had him Maxey wouldn’t be playing 48 minutes a game which is the point.
Ya’ll watch reddit clips of McCain draining threes and say anything lol. Maxey is playing those minutes because he’s the best player on the team after Embiid.
Lol okay, the only person “saying anything” is you. You started this conversation saying they had guard depth then listed Maxey, VJ, and Grimes. If Maxey has to play the whole game then they obviously don’t have depth, guy. Playing 48 minutes is not sustainable throughout a long run. Anyway McCain >>>>>
Then they could’ve kept Champagnie who they cut for Mac McClung dunk contest PR
Also they have 3 playable guards
That mid 20s pick could be anything though, even Jared McCain!
The fact this could apply to 2 people
I hope so. I want to see a competitive series.
then win a game against detroit…
I’m saying
He’s good as is. Leave him be
Joel “I got one more in me” Embiid
Toradol comes through again.
May his bones be strong and his tendons resilient.
Great! Knicks in 4
Not sure how to feel about this
Less bona is always a good thing for the 9 other players on the court
Massive target on the defensive end. Guy cannot move. He’s in Poetl territory now.
Didn’t watch Boston series?
What matched up against the mighty Queta and Vucevic? Smdh
Unlike the great rim defense of KAT lmao
Crazy that you’re downvoted when you’re absolutely correct. Most of our fanbase is running on pure delusion and copium
It was a way tougher setup when he was out. Faster pace and seriously Embiid is a Poetl level target on defense now.
He drops way off then we can flash middle with Mikal or get easy lanes to the basket, or he’s blown by.
And Maxey takes a backseat mentally and physically when Embiid plays.
Sixers might come back and if so that speaks on the importance of OG
Sixers in seven.
Knicks in 9
Sixers in 11?
Will this help our offense?
sorta
Let’s F’N Gooooo!
Get ready for some unwatchable slop
Doesn’t matter, Suxers are getting swept like gahbage.
Knicks still win…cause you know….sixers suck

Oh this is getting kinky huh
