joel “second round exit” embiid!!
Rivers is overrated so no
james harden is in this team, so no.
Yes sir
Can the 76ers get out of the second round ? That will be key this season.
Embiid is MVP 🔥
Sounds like you bias dudes are trying to find another way to ROB Embiid of another MVP due to meaningless statistics
People think it's all about making money but nahhh!! Y'all are making great financial mistakes I think growing money should be your 2023 decision this year it has made me who I am today.
I’ve been telling people who Joel Embiid will be since 2014 !! He’s exceeded what i believed he can be ! This is what Embiid looks like without a 6’10 offensive liability clogging the paint. He’s utterly unstoppable.
Joel Embid will get hurt or lose in the second round like his whole career.
It's kind of crazy the amount of haters that show up whenever the Sixers are a topic.
Lmao sixers been contenders for half a decade now. Gotta show me something else
Somehow, this guy's beard is effing with my anxiety.
Too much Embiid hate. Give this man his respect
6ers need a real coach. Doc Rivers is not a coach and doesnt know how to coach. He lets players play in difficult times instead of coaching to fill the gap in the crunch time
Been watching sixers for 40 + years , the reason they don’t get respect is legit with this team because Embiid is never healthy for a full run and neither is harden . They always look good regular season and fail in playoffs they will never make it to finals . Doc rivers is a terrible playoff coach as his history shows .
I DON'T believe in them. I'll take Celtics, Bucks, Nets.
Maxey to bench change the season.
credit to Harden to leave out money so the kortkmarz, House, Melton, Niang, Milton, Harrell… can get paid.
Joel smoked Jokic boots
Harden actually has a higher assist average than Tyrese (11.2 vs 10.2), but he has only played in 32/48 games and thus falls short of the 70% game requirement to compete for assist leader. If he doesn’t get injured and miss too many games, then he is on track to get the assist title
If they arrive at the playoffs with a healthy Embiid, they'll be problematic for any team. Trouble is, that never happens. As a fan of the game, I'd like to see that.
lol this guy is talking about house jr. Dude hasn’t played since October.
EMVPIID
These advanced stats are a joke. We saw the game, Embiid made Jokic look like a nobody.
Nice to get some media coverage
kevin is what makes watching basketball not fun. go watch baseball if youre into stats. I'm just tryna see who got that dawg in em. not what their VNIOC and A_D)WJ ratings are. nerd
Hearing people use terms like "forensic analysis" when it comes to basketball disgusts me.
It's why certain players get robbed from MVPs and all start voting, people using terms like this are doing the voting.
Basketball has the element of 1v1 competition in games but has there ever been an mvp who’d look so pathetic like Jokic in 1v1 against their contemporaries? Not an mvp and certainly not the best player in the league.
Harden is actually leading the league in assists per game, he just is not qualified for some dumb reason.
The discussion should be titled. « Why the NBA TRY TO ACT like donkic and the other dude are as good as Embiid when everyone knows Embiid is the best of the 3 of them.
No. They always come up small in play offs. I wont believe it until I see it. Plus they still have doc rivers as coach so even going up 3-1 I won't believe it.
2:38 he’s 8th BOZO
Sixers should move Tobias Harris + a pick for Kevin Love and Okoro. This would be better fits for both teams.
The thing about the Sixers is not the regular season form. They have already been ranked 3rd, 6th, 1st, 4th from 2019-22 and have exited either round 1 or 2. It’s post season health of Embiid is the primary. Then comes ability to defend at an elite level teams like Bucks, Celtics, Miami and the Nets over 7 games most likely. Harden’s ability to takeover in a few games and Maxey’s maturity in the playoffs.
I see the 76er's getting put out in the 1st round, they're not built for playoff basketball.. They should of never trusted the process
@ the end of the day, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WILL BET ON THE 76ER'S making a run in the playoffs, they constantly disappoint their fans because they're so-called leaders, Harden,Embid, Doc Rivers, just can't get it done when it counts the most, the best thing they can do is, learn from the early exit this year and keep adding some battle tested pieces to their roster and the process will continue..
