"Joel Embiid is ducking that smoke... You cannot sit out this game... When it comes down to these matchups, I have a vote [for MVP]. I'm going to remember this moment."
Kendrick Perkins on Embiid not playing against Nikola Jokic tonight 🗣️
Foul on the floor, no free throws. Almost every player in the league chucks up a shot after a foul on the floor in hopes of free throws. Do you watch the NBA?
Doc rivers offense makes me want to claw my eyes out. This team should be fun to watch and instead it’s torture. This is not winning basketball and it’s 100% on the coaching.
Did you know that Scott Foster received over 130 phone calls from Tim Donaghy between October 2006 and April 2007? On a completely unrelated note Tim Donaghy went to prison for fixing and gambling on NBA games.
You’re supposed to cover basketball for a living and can’t figure out the difference between what KAT did and what Poeltl did in these clips. You’re either an idiot or intellectually dishonest.
No lie I don’t think no Sixers fans on this app would gaf about Jokic like that if swipa cam wasn’t popping up on everybody’s timeline for the past 3 years
This game reminded me of game 5 against atlanta where Embiid was 0-12 in the second half, except this time his costar is James Harden instead of Ben Simmons
It’s so funny that there’s this idea that Jokic generally “doesn’t care” when we’ve seen him have full on tantrums on national television over basketball games
Embiid takes that Jokic matchup real personal. Like he WANTS to prove to the world that he’s better than him. That’s ok to want.
I do think it’s interesting how public he is about it.
I also think it’s hilarious that Jokic couldn’t care less LOL
He’s saying he’d rather be a team that’s perennially in contention but ultimately falls short than a team that’s in the gutter like the trailblazers. It’s not that deep
“Everybody is always basing everything on winning a championship. But that’s not all that matters. Obviously, you want to win a championship. But would you rather be in contention every year? Or would you [rather] be at the bottom and fighting to make the playoffs every single
Mitchell Robinson entered this playoffs injured and left this playoffs injured with a stress fracture for playing on said injury, and both he and Knicks fans are crashing out over Embiid
broskiis... fuck Onlyfans... Nikola Jokic just gave us fap material for a whole week! Is he the baddest defender in the game rn? And if u say no.... name who is
@Harden4T
@statmuse
Embiid was why they are a good defensive team and always will be why they’re a good defensive team. Ben was a defensive luxury not a necessity
Pascal Siakam:
"I always say that once we get into the playoffs, we can kind of make some noise and I don't think it would be fun for a lot of teams to play us."

Twitter is going to not shut up about Tatum tonight
I respect his game a lot even as a Sixers fan, it’s weird seeing people turn on him left and right. That’s just Twitter I guess though.
This is literally what watching Joel Emb*id play feels like for anyone who’s not a S!xers fan. I have no qualms in saying that overall, I think basketball is better without players like him.
This team was not perfectly built around Embiid. He was just having one of the best seasons in nba history to cover up the lack of shooting and horrendous shot creation on this team
This Sixers roster was constructed around Joel Embiid (Hilariously almost perfectly). With Embiid out though, this team has no identity. Stagnant offense. Zero flow. All iso ball & forced shots. Really ugly. Going to be real tough to hang onto a playoff spot, especially banged up
Over the course of an 82 games season Jokic has had the best and most valuable season from wire-to-wire and the stories to explain this season will be among the most confusing at time passes.
Funny as hell that the only reason this discourse is existing after decades of nobody giving a shit is because Embiid is winning his second scoring title back 2 back
Probably the biggest difference between Jokic and Embiid is Jokic doing "enough" to get these games vs Embiid going for the jugular.
Jokic saves it for +.500 teams and in the playoffs.
I'm not sure which approach is better, but Jokic should be rested at the end again.
Free agent G/F Kelly Oubre Jr., is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN. Oubre — who averaged 20 points for Charlotte last season — could get significant opportunity on the wing with the uncertainty around James Harden.
Also regarding Sixers fans complaining about SVG: it’s hilarious how they cry about this when this is exactly how so many media members talked about Jokic last year and they loved that
