We’ve lost every game this series that Embiid hasn’t been perfect. Just so annoying that the Knicks can be 2-0 through two awful Brunson games, where we don’t stand a chance if Embiid has one bad quarter

This is honestly staggering. Wow.

And people here blaming it all on Embiid (what more can he do except be healthy), Reed (not his role to provide scoring, just to help the team survive on defense), Nurse (only card left to pull is trying Ricky).
The bigger problems are Tobias (worthless), Buddy (worthless), and Maxey (who has been great, but we already saw he’s not ready to be #1 option when teams key in on him), and most of all Darryl (roster construction).
It’s a total team and organization failure. Blame to go around for everyone. But if the team could score at all when Embiid sat, we would win this series easily.

I’ve been seeing a lot of Joel hate lately and I just don’t understand. How much more can you ask from him?

I know this year was a shipped in and shed cap roster, but this is these mf’s should be in the g league bad.

Maxey not winning any of the non embiid minutes lost us the series but its okay jared McCain will be taken under his wing and things will get better

Did you know there could be multiple reasons why we lost the game?

Hartenstein was on the bench. Robinson wasn’t playing. Jo spent the entire 4th quarter hanging around the 3 point line being a second 2 guard. He scored 1 point and got one rebound.

Tyrese is unfortunately an Embiid merchant until proven otherwise

Gonna miss bball when he’s on the starting 5 in utah 😢

Same issue for the entirety of Embiid’s career. I honestly can’t believe us fans keep coming back for it.

I’m usually one of the first to blame Jo when we lose in the postseason, but this is clearly not the year to do it.
He’s been phenomenal.

Everyone has to do better but Maxey absolutely needs to do better and so should Tobias but I have zero faith in him, he will never give production close to his contracts worth

Yikes kinda concerning that maxey hasn’t figured out how to generate offense without Embiid. He had more than half a season to figure out how to play in the 5 minutes Embiid is gone each half

This series isn’t really Joel’s problem. Yesterday’s 4th quarter….maybe. But overall he and maxey have been the only one actually doing anything.
Paul Reed is useless when he’s on the floor.
Tobias is typical Tobias when he plays.
Buddy Hield wants to be in Cancun.
Cam Payne and Batum are our only bench options.

The fact they’ve won one game this series and that was with Embiid scoring 50 and shooting like Steph Curry shows how horrible the supporting cast is.
Morey has to have one of the best offseasons of all time, because he has punted half of Embiid’s prime

Us Sixer fans need to make sure Maxey leaves and build the team around Emiid ONLY! He’s all we need 1 v 5 every night!

Meanwhile Brunson goes to the bench and Knicks don’t miss a beat. That is the difference in this series. Game 2 really hurt us IDK why Maxey gave up the ball smh.

BBall Paul has been such a disappointment. He does absolutely nothing on offense and Knicks keep picking on him on defense. He’s got all that energy coming off the bench just to be garbage.

I don’t get why we don’t slow things down when he’s out

We’re losing this series because we can’t rebound. We got ass blasted in game 1, game 2 was the Maxey fuckery yeah but even then they got 2 second chance 3’s they didn’t need to have. Yesterday they crushed us on the glass again in the 2nd half. Second and third chance scoring opportunities over and over.
That’s pretty much the difference in the series.
If Embiid was 100% he probably carries us to a series win but he’s not. Turns out Embiid at full strength covers up a lot of warts for this team.
I hate losing this way. Sometimes the other team just shoots the lights out and what can you do. But the inability to stop the other team from getting offensive rebounds is maddening.
