A superstar like Embiid should never be trusted always good in the regular season and always unfit for the playoffs 76ers r not winning the chip anytime soon
As soon as I knew Embiid was going to be out game 1, I knew the Celtics were going to lose.. because they don't play hard when they think the other team is inferior. That's why the Hawks series wasn't a sweep. I also knew, regardless of Embiid playing or not the C's were going to win game 2. They got angry and actually played, they need to stay angry until they win the finals, or they'll lose.
I’m actually fine with Joel playing last night. If you want him to play the rest of the series/playoffs, you’re going to want to get him in there before he is “needed” because you’re down in the series. Harden being less aggressive is a Harden problem, and James needs to sort himself out.
They had to bring Joel back, the worst they could do was go one and one. Better to bring him back now because even if Philly won without him they would still have to upset the rhythm at some point. Better now because they can't win 4 without their best player. Up 2-0 and then affect the rhythm lol, no.
Good to see EMBIID WIN an award he didn't deserve because now i don't have to watch the BET Awards. Lol. To go through life without Dignity must be Awful ~
My conclusion is that the sixers best winning the series is having joel embiid out. And having James Harden ball out. The joke is the mvp is a liability at this point 😂 in the playoffs. Give me consistency and healthy Jokic over inconsistency and unhealthy joel. Numbers do look good I understand, but mvp voters got blinded and fail to look at the wholesome or bigger picture and who is a bigger asset to there team and more valuable. Unfortunately embiid won with numbers and sympathy. I understand its a regular season award but theres no way joel was going to be consistently good throughout the playoffs with his inconsistency- high percentage performances. He had better numbers because he played less than everyone else in the regular season. Boston in 6
Should’ve sat out imo…..get back to Philly have solid practices and play in game 3 (knee would’ve been warmed up, home crowd and probably would’ve been up 2-0)
Was at the game yesterday and jb and the bench popped off for Boston, tbh Philly never had the lead and the game was tied 8-8 with 6:34 left in the first after the Celtics go up by 6 the lead got bigger and bigger Philly never stood a chance so it was a dumb move to bring Joel into the game idc what anybody says Philly never had a chance to win game 2
MVP adds crazy expectations, Jokic last year faced the eventual champion Warriors with Monte Morris and Will Barton as his starting back court with Austin Rivers and Bones Hayland playing significant bench minutes, while Jokic averaged 31, 13 and 6 on 57% FG% he lost in 5 and gets slandered for it.

The Celtics only show up when they play stars. It's that simple. They phoned it in for game 1 because embiid sat.

So I guess load management is ok when the media says it’s ok and not when the players says it’s on 🤦🏾♂️

Nikola is best player in nba

Most Valuable EmBitc#
Bro even if Embiid gave them 40, the sixers would’ve lost handedly. Give the Celtics their credit shit
I feel like by the end of it all Joel will be in class with Allen Iverson cuz he ain't win a ring but he's so great
Bout to see a lot of guys who don’t know ball saying “sixers play better without embiid” lol

They gave MVP to the wrong guy.
This is Embiid's story every year; Injured for Playoff Series.
Here comes all the "injury" excuses! For the "mvp"
C’s in 7. The Celtics are better but Philla will make this a series winning the close ones.
Imagine if he sat out and Sixers played looser and won going up 2-0 with Embid coming back fresh for Game 3. The power of that decision.
Pittymvp at its best

I truly think the Celtics are a better team
It has NOTHING to do with Joel and EVERYTHING to do with expectations.
Harden plays great w/ no pressure to win the game. But when you look for him to play good that's when he folds!
Should’ve waited until game 3
Embiid shouldn’t have played at all
MVP adds crazy expectations, Jokic last year faced the eventual champion Warriors with Monte Morris and Will Barton as his starting back court with Austin Rivers and Bones Hayland playing significant bench minutes, while Jokic averaged 31, 13 and 6 on 57% FG% he lost in 5 and gets slandered for it.
Its not night and day. Harden been a head case in the playoffs. He jus had a 1 in 10 good game last game.
James can be hot or cold ain’t no way they better without him
How and why did he win MVP??
More of a reason why I want Jokic to win a chip this year.
A lot of excuses for Joel Crybaby Embiid
