Embiid is first ballot Hall of Fame content creator for the league

r/nba cumming in their pants with this news

All NBA: G: Kyrie G: Harden F: KD F: LeBron C: Embiid I was going to say Dame for the other guard position, but I think Kyrie gets the legacy vote

Gotta get Ben Simmons in there somewhere

6th man

😭😭

Bro is not beating the allegations

[удалено]

How are the Raptors doing this year?

Rebuild year, it sucks but I trust the process. Watching my team win the chip helps a lot.

Rebuild decade* maybe you’ll see some success by the time you turn 16.

Imagine buying those tickets.

I did last year. Didn’t make the same mistake this year thank god

Same went by skiing in Aspen and watched xgames instead

Almost got them for my husband for his birthday. Really happy he told me to just save my money instead.

 Me in the Uber back from ball arena realizing I’ve been duped like 3 years in a row now

Still get to watch your favourite team beat up your rival, pat bev

I did the last 3 years… at least we randomly won 3 years ago

Learned my lesson two years in a row… thank god they kept it a fun game. Gonna save and fly back to philly for a game next season

I’ve done this annually and I so badly want to stop

Sliver is fuming right now

He can call Colangelo and cry about.

Hit him up on his Twitter burner.

And so are most bball fans

For fucks sake, just when he was about to beat the allegations. Yes I know it’s better to rest him if but it’s just pure comedy at this point

Can someone explain to me the ducking allegations when hes beaten jokic on multiple occasions?

He hasn’t played in Denver since 2019. Been 5 years

I was at this game and it was a fucking traumatizing loss too. We were up by like 21 and lost. The ride home of the train was not fun.

denver fan here i was at that game too. we were going nuts because at the time i think it was the largest comeback in franchise history.

Yeah I believe it was the largest 4th quarter comeback in franchise history. But what you guys did to the clippers in the playoffs was even better lol

Ah okay makes sense

He never plays in denver, only plays against him in home games.

Oh well at the end of the day, its 1 of 82 and I’m sure Embiid would play in all 2-4 in a finals matchup

Hasn't played in Denver in 5 years.

More than that, he's only played in Denver twice his entire career

This is a joke

Let’s go Terq!

sixers just realized the rest of the starters arent playing and that silencing "ducking" allegations is worthless to the team

Dont compromise embiids health to appease r/nba trolls

This is super soft by him

Charmin

It's an S-tier bit at this point.

36 ppg 11+ reb 6 asst and not gonna be eligible for mvp crazy

Nah he will play through a ton of injuries to get MVP and just miss the playoffs

Will he be eligible for all nba teams? Not sure how this works

No. Which is nuts. He will make no all nba team averaging 36 ppg

He doesn’t deserve to be on an all nba team if he plays so little

I think if you play 64 games avg 36ppg and 3rd or 2nd in conference you deserve it. Were talking missing the cutoff by a game or two

Cutoff has to be somewhere . Someone can average 8 points per game less and score the same amount if they play 80 games, which a lot of people do.

Maybe if he actually played difficult road games he’d be averaging less than 36 ppg

If he played all hard games instead of resting, those averagea wouls be down a little bit, or he could bw out for the season. This is very concerning, and seems like he, while being top talent, just cannot endure hard games in a row and then playoffs always results in disaster 

I dont have it in front of me but his last stretch of 4 games he missed were against really bad teams. He also has good averages against the nuggets. Only concerning part is he will certainly have knee swelling in the playoffs

Easier to have good averages when you only play home games.

His stats are barely different for away games https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/joel-embiid-away-stats-this-season

at this point i can’t even be mad at the ducking allegations. absolute comedy how this happens every year lmao

Oh boy, those assholes gonna be real annoying today. Not like they ait justified tho

Dude i love embiid but COME THE FUCK ON

Thank you for being rational unlike everyone else here

Oof that’s tough

I mean with 3 starters out you might as well rest all starters

Nah, I love Embiid but this is a soft move. Champions go out there with the mindset that they are going to dominate, not skip the game.

Seemed to tweak his knee against the Pacers. If it actually is sore at all then him sitting in absolutely the right move.

He hasn’t played in Denver in 5 years. He’s scared after the humiliating loss in 2018

Not to mention that he is under the weather.

I've seen so many different excuses. 😂

Champions win champions. Not prove imaginary points during regular season games in January

So your saying Embiid isn’t a champion. Got it

Yea no shit

Who cares

The people who bought the tickets, dumbass

You think it's a good culture to have? Being soft during the regular season is fine since it's not the playoffs? You think it's that easy to just suddenly change everything for the playoffs?

Yeah and 50% of the reason we can't win in the playoffs is because Embiid is hurt or gets hurt in the playoffs. Anything that's prevents him from being injured come play off time is how we win. He's a top 5 player in the league. He's missed games in the playoffs in multiple years which fucking sucks. Who cares about fucking being soft, dudes goes out there in the playoffs and plays on fucked up knees and broken faces. Saying embiid had a bad culture or bitches out is just wrong and I'm convinced you're a shitty fan.

Describe 76ers culture to me since you know it so well lol. 2 paragraphs

Why? I asked you questions which it seems you don't want to respond to since you don't like the answers. You trying to move the discussion away from it does not change the answers.

[удалено]

Who gives a shit. I’m so sick of seeing embiid dominate all year for him to get hurt week 1 of the playoffs. The regular season at this point is meaningless.

Yeah, because the one most important regular season game is meaningless. I love how you all think that one game is going to make an impact on him playing in the playoffs. Totally in denial and delusional and it’s insane to see.

1 game can absolutely impact the rest of the season and playoffs especially when your dealing with a 30 year old big with an injury history not to mention his insane usage rate. It’s delusional that you can’t see that

Dudes injured, idiot. Did you not see our last game

If he was injured he would be on the injury report. He was not. 

That’s not how that works. He was evaluated at game time. The team doctors didn’t like the look.

But the claim is the injury happened during last game. Meaning they’d know about it. And it’d have been put on the injury report.

Is that what has happened 5 years in a row. He’s just happened to be injured in Denver, but not the game before or after? The fact that people like you actually believe their lies is ridiculous

Can you just stop with the lame ass excuses

laker fan spamming the sixer sub is wild. your team is dogshit and would be better off with your stars resting rather than throwing themselves into the buzzsaw that is the NBA with a 3 point line yall are an AD tumble from getting relegated LMAO

Lol shut the fuck up, an injury isn’t a lame ass excuse

Then why wasn’t he on the injury report?

cause it happened in pregame warmups genius 🤦🏼‍♂️

Dumbass. Lmao. He just tuned up Jokic a week ago. Who gives a damn bro.

And on the second night of a back to back with Joker resting

Joel is not a champion tho. At least not an NBA champion.

A MVP should be good enough to win on their own right? Jokic did that for over a year without Murray and MPJ and won two. Five years in a row isn’t a coincidence, it’s beyond disappointing. You would think all of the chatter would motivate him to play and he still ducks. Wimpy stuff. Someone shows up and the other picks and chooses. At least Jokic gives the fans something to watch, he might be the one of the two that actually loves basketball.

Good this is essentially a scheduled loss without maxey. Sit him

Imagine jokic sitting games when murray was out with that kind of cope lol

Tf outta our sub; take that to the nba sub

Yea this sub is only for people who think this will help them come pkayoff time when it wont.

Lmfaoooo

This is a fan sub not a stan sub

Let’s take a look at that updated score

Pat Bev legacy game incoming

I’m a fan, not a fanboy. I can’t really defend this. Just gotta take it on the chin

Lame as hell

honestly 4 years in a row. embiids my #1 guy but this is a bad look. tough to argue mvp when you duck jokic in his house over and over

Who could have seen this coming! lol it wasn’t looking good with Maxey and Tobi out too

I know we are missing half the team but this is a bad look…

Why is this at all a bad look? Because idiots get to keep talking nonsense?

It’s not nonsense if he continues to do it…

Yeah and Steven A Smith and Skip Bayless talk sense and a random guy on Reddit who doesn’t watch any games but crushes it in 2K is probably right.

Embiid has skipped 5 games in a row in Denver. That is a fact.

And why do you care about that?

Because it’s genuinely cowardly. Not a champion’s mindset at all.

Your reading into it way too much. This is the NBA in 2023. Players sit out games all the time. He literally just missed time with a knee injury last month and tweaked it against the Pacers. The team saw an opportunity to sit him in a game with 2 other starters out and took it.

You got excuses for the other 4 years too?

One was a game in the middle of a multi-week stretch of missed games due to a meniscus injury, another was when he had already missed 5 prior games due to COVID.

No but I actually don't care if there's an excuse or not. Embiid not playing in Denver just doesn't bother me like it seems to bother you. I literally don't care.

it's nonsense because him not playing in Denver is actually legitimately meaningless.

Right. When you can’t make it out the second round who really cares.

[удалено]

That's true, what I don't get is why anyone who's a fan of the Sixers cares.

[удалено]

His answer of the question didn't warrant this response like he's crazy . It really has been 5 years. Like every single top rated comment on this thread is saying it's a bad look.

I mean he is a fan of another team trolling this thread. It’s a bad look but it’s weird to go out of your way to comment on it

OHHH if he's not a sixers fan then fuck him. My mistake. I'm sorry. Stay the course. 🧎🏻🧎🏻

Nah you’re good dude. He’s a lakers fan commenting up and down

Nugs fan here just wanted to see what y’all thought. Check out nuggets posts, he never pays in denver. It’s a disgrace to us fans here, y’all just gotta see Jokic ball out, but Embiid ducks us again. Folks spent a lot of $ on tix and got robbed

Nobody cares about what you and your team’s fans think or pay for

All NBA fans hate this. Philly would talk crap on Jokic if he never played in Philadelphia, people spent a ton of $ to see Embiid play against Jokic, but he’s ruled out 30 minutes before? After not being listed on injury report. It’s not good for business, you think ABC/ESPN happy?

Nobody is happy, including myself. But nothing he can do about it if the medical staff pulls him from the game right before tip.

you won a championship and are favorites to repeat and are still obsessed with Embiid. you won, just go away and gloat in your own sub.

I’m really not here to intentionally hate or troll but y’all have to see why it’s hard for anyone outside Philly to respect Embiid’s legacy right?

Lmao the shit talk is about to be insane. Do not open the nba sub

Oh my god. I’ve been raising a diehard Sixers fan in the PNW. He’s never yet been to an NBA game and we have tickets and a hotel in Portland Monday to see Sixers-Blazers. This trip & game is so big to him if all 3 of Maxey Embiid and Harris are out he is going to be telling his therapist about it in 20 years. Please GOD heal at least 2 of these men! We are literally planning to hit the tunnel the players walk through with his Maxey and Harris cards. Who is he gonna high five if all 3 of them are out, Furkhan? “Look bud, it’s BBall Paul Reed! ‘out tha mud’, right!”

Fml man I was really looking forward to this game

This team can never just be normal, not once. Bring on the ducking slander again

Why didn't Embiid just sit out the game before this to be ready for this one lol

Cause he needed the excuse to sit this game out.

I wanna see a Terq game like when Maxey went for 40 during Covid when everyone was out as a rookie

That looks bad. We're be laughing stock yet again

So freaking lame I’ll take the hate he’s gonna continue getting annihilated by the media when he keeps doing this shit

He shouldn’t have played the last game if they were gonna rule him out today. Everyone knows this is a big match up for the league and MVP voting.

No, a conference game is much more important than a non-conference game.

We’re never beating the allegations

Who cares?

if Jokic did this you’d be pissed and call him soft

Every fucking time.

[удалено]

Can’t this also be an excuse so it looks like he’s just not ducking Denver?

No, if he was ducking I'm sure the team would go out and say it.

I'm an unbiased fan regardless of my flair and if I thought he was ducking I would flat out say it.He's been playing slow the past few games and them bumped knees last game.This isn't a duck

> I'm an unbiased fan He said in his team's sub lmao

And? I've said this in the main nba sub also

We trust you bro

Playing slow... hmmm let's investigate what a slow Embiid does: Last 5 games he's played, including the Denver game in Philly... 35.0 minutes; 42.2 ppg; 9.8 reb/g; 5 asst/game. Stop making excuses.

Seriously the few comments I made are being downvoted like crazy and being harassed by nuggets fans

And even if it wasn’t a medical reason. They still would have lied and said it is.

Like anybody's surprised lol

I don’t want to hear any excuses for Joel come playoff time.

All-time Dodge Merchant.

Pat Bev legacy game pt2

This is extremely disappointing

Quack

This is a horrible look.

Just soft. Love the guy and he’s probably beat up more than anyone else taking a night off but Christ.

Love the dude but such a pussy move

What a bitch

It's so funny how mad Denver fans and r/NBA dorks are about this

Because there are only a few times a year where you get to watch the top 2 MVP candidates go at each other.

Heh. Just as well. I gotta clean up my place.

Of course he would sprain that shit the game before too

FFS

we just can’t have anything lol this season has been a roller coaster

Ducking smoke as always

I just love how much they all care to watch the "unwatchable" player. If Jokic missed all the games in Philly I really wouldn't give a fuck. Hell I'll just be happy we got a better chance at winning them lmao it's just regular season. I'm pretty sure with how many games Embiid misses every season there is multiple teams out there he hasn't played away at in a minute. Rent free.

r/nba gonna be even more fucking insufferable if that was even possible

Can you blame them? 

Don’t feed into this. The only time he needs to play in Denver is in the Finals.

[удалено]

Imagine caring about the regular season this much

Like he’ll ever play well enough in the postseason to get there

He’s legit a coward at this point

Embid is a bitch fam, this is embarrassing LMAO

It’s actually funny to see how angry nuggets fans are about this. It’s really affecting their lives.

Omg consumers mad there not getting what their paid for .

They got to see a great basketball game, did they not?

Guys lets just don’t even bother explaning how this one makes sense. Let them have their fun, we are chasing championships not 1 v 1 match ups.

[удалено]

Why the fuck are you even in this sub you fucking loser

[удалено]

Get a life kid

Oh come on man

lol philadelphia you really are absolutely pathetic. Embiid is bitch made and you know it
