The Sixers Are ALREADY In Trouble…
The Philadelphia 76ers are already having issues. The NBA season has barely started and we already have drama… stars missing games, weird comments in the media, being actively investigated by the NBA… Not the start they were hoping for with Joel Embiid and Paul George.

Finally somebody gets it thank you
Philly is in trouble since they drafted a bum called Joel. He's the biggest fraud in the NBA history. Probably lied about his age as well.
What if they make a rule that if they violate the rules 1-5 times with a player, they have to sit that player for 1 game in the opening playoff series
Who cares about the Sixers in this situation, this just shows more that the season is too long. If the league wants players playing more games, reduce the number of playoff spots so that it's harder to get in. Otherwise teams can coast into the playoffs more rested. Look at Jimmy Butler or LeBron.
Just make it so you have to play 65 games to play in the play offs 😅. If you start the season injured you're still able to go into the play offs with 66% attendance since your return.
To win a championship you need to make the playoffs. It also helps to have consistency and time together playing with your teammates. Not playing some random game doesn't make it less likely his flopping will injure him in April or May.
They’re going to play back-to-back in the playoffs. Therefore, he won’t be properly CONDITIONED & will be GASSED by GAME 7. Just to play back-to-back the very next series. INJURIES ARE ALMOST GUARANTEED at this point. CONDITIONING MATTERS
oh so now he don't care about the mvp award after he got his pity mvp and as such will not play many games for his team until they reach the playoffs? that's a winning formula right there, gj philly. you got a "star" player that you wasted 10 years on and got jack in return
Embiid doesnt care about mvp's?, what about the one he cried for until they gave it to him, thank God I'm a celts fan I couldn't deal with this perpetual loser on my team
All you have to do is take away these massive guaranteed contracts and I bet all these little maintenance injuries magically disappear and players become more durable all of a sudden.
I dont Get how «only playing 50-60 reg.season games» is a bad thing. More young players will Get the chance to play, and the league as a whole will become a lot more competetive as a Direct consequence.
Nah, they shouldn't shorten the season. It wasn't a problem before but it is now because we have divas who won't even put the work in. Embiid has no work ethic, has never taken care of his body and is now trying to punish everybody else but him for his own mistakes lol. He can't be a legit champion so he tries to bend the rules. We have 80 year old Lebron and KD still playing most games, Mikal who missed more shots on opening night than he has missed games in his whole career and yet lazy bumbiid is whining as usual? Fuck that. Such a sissy.
The Sixers are talking as if they're going to be able to hold on to a decent seed in the playoffs with all this rest. But this Eastern conference isn't that weak anymore; they won't be able to sleep walk their way into a top four seed this year.
We'll see how things look in February when they're a play-in team.
You cannot be in the playoffs if you do not win games. I think the 76ers should be careful they might not make the playoffs 😂😂😂
Honestly, as a Celtics fan, I don't get why Philly sees Embiid as being so untouchable. I'm not saying just trade the guy to trade him, but they should see what's available on the market. It just makes sense. Embiid struggles to be able to play in the playoffs. More importantly, when Embiid does play, he can't even get his team to the ECF. Even when Embiid is playing, the Sixers get bounced to Cancun by the Celtics, Raptors, etc. So what is the point of acting like Embiid is untouchable when he's almost never healthy in the playoffs and when he is he can't get you to the Conference Finals? Once again, not saying to trade him just to trade him. But I'd actively see what the market has on offer. Embiid is a very good player and I'm sure there'd be some return, the question is whether or not the return is worth it.
Should've traded him RIGHT AFTER the 2023 season.
That was their opportunity to gain as much assets for him as possible.
Now, they'll be lucky to even get 2 first rounders for him
We all act like this load management stuff works but no team that has load managed has ever won anything of note. I’m not buying the load management argument, I just don’t think it’s worth jt
Everyone is looking over the fact that fans are the one's who get shafted when they go to these games to watch players like emiid only to find out he's sitting out for no reason.
by not dealing with the hardships of the regular season you’re just not going to be built for the competitive toughness of the playoffs, whether that to do with injury or just team chemistry
No, this is fcking BS. People pay to see the stars…with all respect to the other guys.
Exclude players from the fcking playoffs if they are on load management. Thats the only solution.
Also, Embiid is a fcking pussy. He makes 50 mil a year, and doesnt do shiit. When he plays he is incredible elite, dont get me wrong, but he is never playing. At least, thats how I feel about it. If he hurts that much, stop playing. Its that simple. Look at Walton, he played when he could, just never could. And all the highschool prospects, who got injured before they reach the NBA. You cant sell that shiit man. This whole load management makes it more like they can simply stop the play offs, of the regular season.
Dudes just resting up for this in season tournament
Imagine not caring enough to take care of your body to the point where you can’t play back to backs in your 20s lol
Make the playoffs 6 teams instead of 8. No play in. The regular season immediately means more.
Soft. Wilt played every game of every season all the the. Smh
Paul George And Joel Embiid is Still Young!
Easy solution is if caught purposely resting player you lose drafts pick(s)
Here is a solution
1). Fans should be able to buy insurance on tickets. Select idk the top 20 players. If you show up and the player is a healthy scratch. You can get your money back or go to another game
2. Reduce the 1st two rounds to best of 3. Puts more pressure on the regular season to matter. No one wants to see rhe Celtics or nuggets in best of 3.
3. Reduce the season to 70 games. And thus reduce the amount of games needed to win an award to 55.
4). If you dexided to be a healrhy scratch you forefit the money for that game.
In Europe season means the number of matches = 2*(n-1) teams in the league i.e. 30 teams means 58 matches and that it should be. You can throw few games for the in-season tournament for good measure
