  1. When Joel decides to be dominant, he’s better than 99.99% of players
    And that’s what frustrates me
    He doesn’t put his head down and drive a lot, he takes free throw jumpers or free throws

  2. Joel only wants to compete against the bad teams. Sits out all the big games.. had to whine for his MVP instead of competing for it

  3. Sad that such a dominant player is stuck in Philly. I hate that he is playing for a team like the sixers. They are never going to win. They can't beat the Celtics ever and he is not the most healthy player. He needs to go play with Indiana

  4. Sixers should make a move and get rid of Tobias Harris… perhaps they can get someone from Chicago of Charlotte for Tobi

  5. if Embiid does not get injured this year, he is going to have a big run in the playoffs, Nurse plays him differently then Sixers previous coaches, he has alot more energy going into 4th qtrs because of the substitution patterns and not making Embiid play so much 1 on 1.

  6. Some fun Joel Embiid playoff facts:

    The best team he's beaten in the playoffs is the 2022 5th seed Raptors led by Siakam and FVV

    He averages 22 PPG on 49.2% TS in elimination games(a 9 game sample size)

    In NO playoff run has he ever averaged more assists than turnovers

    He is the ONLY MVP in league history to never make the conference finals

    This year, he had the biggest PPG drop from the RS to the playoffs of any MVP winning season

    He turned the ball over 8 times in back to back elimination games against the Hawks in 2021

    He's shot under 20% from three over his last two playoff runs

    He had a worse eFG% than Russell Westbrook during the 2023 playoffs

    With a chance to go up 3-1, Joel Embiid went 0-12 in the second half against the 5 seeded Hawks in game 4, including missing a wide open layup to take the lead

    He got stripped by Danilo Gallnari to seal the loss in game 7

    Down 3 in game 5 of the same series with 15 seconds left, he missed BOTH free throws to seal the game

    All of his offensive numbers(PPG, RPG, APG, TOS, FG% 3P% FT%) are worse in the playoffs than in the regular season aside from FT%

    He has only won ONE playoff series in his career where he played in all four wins(2022 vs. Toronto)

    He is 0-3 in game 7s and has posted a 49% TS and 5.3 TOs a game in those 3 games

    He once got swept in a series despite averaging FIFTEEN free throws per game(2020 vs. Boston)

    Over the last two seasons, he has a 9.2 BPM in the regular season(box plus minus) and a 1.0 BPM in the playoffs

    WORST OF ALL: HE IS 9/38 IN CLUTCH(within 5 points, last 5 minutes by NBA definition) SITUATIONS DURING HIS PLAYOFF CAREER, WITH AN UNFATHOMABLE TS% of 35.7%
