[Hudrick] Joel Embiid said he talked to Tobias Harris for almost an hour today to try to give him confidence. Said while he’s out he’s going to be around the team and try to help any way he can.

Honestly booing him isn’t going to help matters best we can hope for is he goes back to a 20ppg scorer while Embiid is out and not hurt the team.
We want to tred water while Embiid is out, he has to turn his season around.

Tobias does not deserve his minutes anymore I don’t see what he even does better than our bench players anymore.

Little late for that.

get after the boards dive for some loose balls body someone up for no other reason than to pump up the team
do that kind of shit and the confidence will come back (and help the team)

You could give Tobias an MLK-tier speech and it won’t magically make him better at basketball. He is just not that good. Should be a 6th man type player making 12/15 million per year

Giving pep talk to the 2nd highest paid player on a contender is insane

I never booed or bitched when Tobi misses shots. You can’t “try harder” to make shots. Every missed shot is on our front office at the time for the horrible contract.
But FUUUUCK Tobi for his effort lately. He’s better off on the bench. Pisses me off – definition of collecting a check. He’s never been the type to dive for a loose ball, but holy shit he isn’t even contesting shots or rebounds and goes up for layups with the strength of a fucking newborn hermit crab.

Tell him to ask to come off the bench. Or just stay on the bench rather. I’d sooner star Ricky council, at least he gives effort

Very kind of Joel to give Tobias a 1-hour intro course to Beginner’s Mandarin

I’d like to see him pick up his play so somebody else pays too much for him next year.

the PHLY guys have nailed the issue with tobias. its his processing speed. his actual mechanics are fine, hes got good size, hes decently athletic. but his brain moves too slow, and because of it, everything is out of sync, and then when things dont go his way, his brain slows things down even more and it just spirals.

He needs a sports psychologist to help with decision making and having a agent(father) who hypes him as a assassin scorer is not doing him any favors. He has capitulated in 2 games against the celtics where we could have stolen the games. Its okay to miss shots if you leave it all on the floor by going hard for rebounds, diving for loose balls and getting to the rim aggressively but he looks like he doesnt care and thats why the fan base is sick and tired of him.

Joel could deliver the entirety of the gettysburg address dressed as Lincoln himself & we’d still get more rebounding tenacity from a drenched amoroso roll left askew in a post-thunderstorm wawa gutter

This is what a real leader does. You’ve got to motivate, instill confidence, but make sure he knows where he’s slacking.
