New and Improved?



Keith Pompey dissects Joel Embiid’s preseason debut in Friday’s 120-106 exhibition finale win against the Atlanta Hawks. As much as Embiid has appeared to buy into Nick Nurse’s free-flowing offense. Pompey wonders how Embiid will respond if he’s not getting the ball in crucial moments. Pompey also addresses James Harden remaining a no-show and the Sixers moving forward as if he won’t be with the team at the start of the season.

    I suspect we will get off to a slow start. I like a free flowing offense but there's 0% chance you can win anything without a featured go to guy that the offense is centered around. Especially with the marginal talent that the 76ers have. Let's not complicate things to much we got the raining mvp & 2x raining scoring champion. Let's get more people involved but we're not winning anything with Tobias or Melton being our leading scorers.

    Trade embiid, maxey , and three 1st for wemby and filler . Make it happen morey since you are soo smart and always get what you want!

    Most fans are tired of hearing about James. Unless it’s a trade – talk about it – other than that – it’s whatever we knew the deal. It’s not the best situation but Sixers GM’s have failed us more than coaching… And it continues!!! Embiid should be fine with the new system. He had the ball a lot in the playoffs and where did that get us. He will still get his touches – nurse ain’t foolish – but move the ball and let other players eat…. I rather Embiid give me a little less offense for a little more defense anyway…

    Have to ask…. Won’t the new “player ‘s have to play” policy kick in starting game one? Would the league really allow the sixers and harden to make a mockery of the policy before the tv contracts are finalized?

  7. Ryan Rowe

    Joel Embiid playing a little bit different from his conditioning and making free throws on focusing to stay healthy during the game

  8. jr haydon

    Embiid complained at various times during his playoff runs about not getting the rock as if they would of won if he got it more,however I think this will work out better than doc's old school system,its about moving the ball and finding the hot shooter(s), like Melton in this game,and most nights your best player will be hot,thats why superstars are who they are,so don't overwork embiid during the regular season he should have Jokic like numbers throughout the season and come play off time, that's the formula to win it all,doing it all,scoring,rebounding,and assist,I'm good if Joel's numbers are 25/10/10

    Yo Keith. Love the Podcast, I'm a Subscriber, but I miss you tellin' us to Have a Blessed Day at the end. We know what people say N.B.A. stands for. 😮 Nice when you Inject the Lord in the midst of Da Club! 😊

  11. Phil w

    Maxey will take time at pg. Till then trade for hyland from clippers. Embid looks out of shape and rusty. Free flow just excuse embid trying to say. Playoffs a superstar dominate his opponent. Post up bra!! Saying it past 5 years

  12. Frank Martin

    I believe Embiid’s interview after the game was 100 percent honest. I do believe he always wanted to play more team ball passing and getting others involved. I think Nick Nurse system will help Embiid and the team. Kevin Pompey seems very negative to this new Embiid. I can’t figure this guy out.

    My guess is – it's not gonna work for sixers.
    Nurse is a "team coach" and sixers are not built to be "a team".
    Embiid is great, Maxey is excellent, Harden is HOF, there are some good players there too, that could play great roles in other teams. But there's no "team".
    There never was.

    Embiid can say whatever he wants, but he's not that guy. He's an ISO player, a possessions hog.
    Embiid "carried" a team with Harden, Maxey, Harris, PJT, Matisse, Harrel…!?
    WHY!?
    A "team" with that roster need no "carrying". Shouldn't need no "carrying".
    Nick can't make sixers a "team" in short couple months, after YEARS of being exactly opposite.

    I'm salty, I admit, bc that MVP was stolen from Jokic just because RACISM.

  17. Cedric Mallory

    When the real games start – and that pressure hit & the fans and media are looking to blame somebody for the failures
    They will make sure they give Embiid the ball
    Everybody want the ball when they are making shots and the fans are cheering
    The true stars can mentally handle the boos

  18. MDM FILMS

    Kieth you never dribbled a balI, you was that guy who went to games but couldn’t play

  19. MDM FILMS

    You can’t just talk basketball, you keep bringing Harden up, when he here YALL say he trash, now he not here it’s a problem..💀💀💀unsubscribe this is not a sixers pod
