you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

You first dude. All I'm saying is it's loving dumb to act like Philly is sports hell. It's not. Also I'm sure the Sixers will be good in the East for years to come but Simmons failure amuses me and I'm not sorry.

You realize that you just pulled that out of your rear end right. Where in GI's post did he say anything at all resembling that?

Also in all seriousness I was expecting the 76ers to win ~30 games or so this year, definitely didn't expect them to make it to the 2nd round. Y'all should be disappointed with the way this season is ending but not with the results, the future is real bright, y'all.

I never said he did. They did in the post game coverage. Settle down Beavis.

Embiid is super good but his post game, at least from what I've seen, isn't special. He's averaging well under 1 point per possession unless my eyes are lying to me.

yeah hes gotten more hype than he deserves offensively, a lot like porzingis except a better player obv. he has the tools to be incredible but right now hes really not this transcendent player people act like he is. hes still very good and has a ton of room to grow but philly fans jumped the gun super hard on declaring him the goat/an mvp/etc etc

If Embiid works on protecting the ball/cutting down on TOs whenever the season ends he'll come back as a behemoth next year. Absolute unit

philadelphia is worse when embiid's usage gets too high. They weren't particularly good in the season when his minutes or fga got too high.

in this series hes at 41min, 37min, 35min and 26fga, 22fga, 21fga. All are among the highest for him all year.

hes a young player so him not being insanely efficient yet isnt a huge knock on him. there is absolutely a path for him to become an absurd player but he is not actually there yet

His footwork is incredible he has great range and he's the number 1 option of a playoff team that won a series

ooooooo, i think embiid is overrated too. has all the tools but needs to develop them more. he strikes me as a player who could have really used extended time in college to figure the game out. isn't he relatively new to basketball?

Joel is a freak of nature, didn't I read that he barely gets to practice somewhere? His aptitude vs time spent on the court/in practice is basically unheard of so I could see him improving at a Giannis-like rate if he stays healthy and accumulates experience

Yup, he barely gets to practice. He clearly needs to polish his game, which apparently is surprising to some people? Dudes played like 100 career games.
