Joel Embiid’s Season Might Be Over

[@aesirgaming1014]

Also, Embiid is 100% to blame. I'm a Celtics fan and I've watched every series that the Embiid-era Sixers have played against Boston. In every series, Embiid underperforms at critical moments. It does not help Philly that he's not a high IQ player. Boston consistently doubles him because they know Embiid struggles to make the right read, let alone the right pass. They also know that despite his size, Embiid will settle for jumpers rather than push into the paint, even against a smaller defender. This why Boston is fine with rotating guards and wings to defend Embiid. Of all the big name teams in the East, Philly is the one I fear the least because I know Embiid doesn't have the IQ to lead his team to a win. Maybe one or two games he manages to dominate and secure a win, but most of the time Boston wins handily and makes it look pretty easy.

Exactly, and it's true even if you love Embiid. Now he's made it clear he's prioritizing his life after basketball and his family, (which is smart...great for him!). Winning NBA championships takes guys driven to win even at the detriment of "real life."

Honestly, if I'm Philly I rest Embiid until after Christmas. Then let him play and remind everyone about the awesome stats he can put up. Then trade him in the offseason and build around Maxey for the future. The fact is that Embiid has never even gotten this team to a Conference Finals. It's time to give up on that and instead set up for the future. If Embiid has a healthy month or two, he'll drive his trade value back up. Also, moving towards a Maxey timeline would get the Sixers out of the window of having to compete with the juggernaut in Boston, as well as giving time for Cleveland to potentially break up and Giannis/Dame to age out. It just makes more sense.

He's really demanding on the court he expect the best from his teammates and he gets frustrated went they are playing bad and is the 1st one to come on screaming and yelling at his teammates on timeouts if they are forgetting plays and being out of position on defense.

[@localneo-graphic4647]

In order to understand Morey's analytics, you need to think of basketball like a game, which it is, but in this thought experiment it's more like a board or video game. In this game, you have a limited amount of 'points' called dollars that you can spend, which is pretty much what dollars become once you are NBA-owner rich, and the limit is the hard-cap and the aprons. So just like a game where you can choose between a few ultra-powerful units, supported by expendable fodder, or a large, deep, yet weak army, with the player crunching the numbers to figure out which is best option, an NBA GM has to figure out what combination of players he can afford has the best chance of winning. This is literally how baseball works these days, WAR has a literal dollar value that GMs put a number on, and if you do it the 'old school' way, you end up like the White Sox. This is what Morey does, but unlike MLB, there is a limit in how much a player can be paid, even if their actual play is worth even more. THAT is why Morey chases superstars, because they are 'undervalued' because they are actually paid LESS than what they are worth. This level of 'analytics' may be so simple a child can understand it, but it still fits his approach of finding undervalued players, and regardless, it's not limited to just superstars. I think people forget just how good those Rockets supporting casts were, the Rockets were regularly turning nobodies and washed players into valuable assets, and that was all due to Morey's system of finding undervalued players with an analytics approach. I'm not going to defend Morey entirely, him ignoring actual human personalities and fit is what is causing the absolute disaster going on in Philly right now. Even back in Houston, it doesn't matter how great analytics say Dwight Howard would have been as a PnR rollman if he just straight up refuses to do it, I just think that people don't understand the logic behind his superstar driven approach.

[@bronzeandsteel3344]

That's why it's so important for Rooks to get good coaches that will hold them accountable. Just check out Jalen Green. Stephen Silas just pretty much let him do what he did. He scored a lot but was a liability. Ime Udoka benched him and called him out. He's now playing better because if he doesn't, then he'll get benched. Embiid has had coaches like Bret Brown and Doc Rivers just let him do whatever. Butler even said how nothing was said much when they watched a video. Accountability was not upheld for him and Simmons. They were celebrated as unicorns right away.

Joel is far from being a team player. Last night against the Grizz I have at least 4 clips of him throwing up his hands on his teammates. Two times where he did not even make an attempt to defend just stood there.

Paul George switched from a Injury prone co-star to a Injury prone co-star. 😂😂😂

Don't forget about Donavan Clingan. He's a rookie that's BALLIN!

Just for fun, I would love to see Giannis and Embiid switch team for a year

[@johndebono1870]

Yes Embiid is a big part of the problem, but what do you expect when the first 3 years of his career is the organizational attitude of "Eh, the higher the draft pick, the better"? At this point, I appreciate Embiid reinforcing what I've been saying about the process for the last 10 years.

[@juliusperseus8612]

That reporter was Right and Embiid wasn't suspende Enough.

[@wesroberts1983]

We need a Dalton Knecht video if he keeps this up.

Nikola Jokic has a laid back demeanor not reputation. The man is a literal workhorse, when he’s not grinding out an 82 game NBA season he takes care of a stable full of horses. Jokic and Embiid aren’t even on the same planet

[@JKI-ANIME]

Crazy how the best rookies in this draft class is the 16 and 17 pick

[@kofius]

I don’t ever want to hear comparisons with Joel and joker again 😂

[@cesarlastres]

Some teams need to learn how to cut their losses early. With or without him, you're not winning the NBA championship. Trade him now, while he has value, and rebuild around Maxey and PG. Get one or two impact players for now and picks for the future. He's too injured, too often, to be your franchise player.

[@jantaramiyongsuntriyapas2570]

Who here thinks that this is the start of Embiid's decline... Hunger is no longer there. * He won MVP * He won Olympic Gold * Multiple All-NBA and All-Star Plus the fact that he is always injured..

[@TVguy9999]

What's going on with the podcast? No new episodes...🤔

[@moryljestem5229]

Imagine what could've been if sixers were trying to build their team this hard 25 years ago. Allen Iverson would dream of that and would play even without limbs just to bring this city a championship.

[@le0fonzagoric164]

Embiid is just worst person in NBA, crying, flopping, no work ethic, sense of entitlement, no honor, professionalism, grit. If he did all those things in backyard court, after two days noone will call him to play ever.

[@pawpasal]

I feel the road rage analogy was incomparable. Otherwise, excellent content!

[@HerosTheme]

Embiid was never the guy. My city wanted him to be because we wanted another main guy so bad, but Embiid is just not that guy. Truth is, we've been a broken ragtag team since Iverson left.

[@Rocky-rh3rz]

I say again.. I really hate the Player Empowerment Era (aka, Supermax Era)

[@Titor1021]

The Sixers and the Bucks are the biggest disappointments this season so far. Especially the 6ers, they tried to address their flaws from the previous season, got another Jimmy Butler kind of player in PG. got Embiid the best back up in Andre they were even lucky with their rookie Mcain (shades of MCW). It feels like they are cursed.

Ben Simmons: I think I treated you too harshly.

[@GroundHOG-2010]

I think the Jokic comparison was kinda silly. Jokic is outwardly distant or detached from basketball, whether that is because of not liking the media or seeing it a job, or whatever, we can all agree on that. But if you look at Jokic's career and how he acts, he at least is professional. If the team isn't doing well, he says he needs to do better. He has clearly improved his conditioning over the years, and there is always signs that he understands a lot about the game, which given how things changed over the years he has been in the NBA must mean he is studying and working on his game a ton. Embiid, at least from these reports, clearly isn't professional. That all said, it's interesting that Embiid and Jokic were in the same draft, and both sat out at least a year (Jokic overseas league, Embiid 2 years because of injury). But the very professional Jokic was the 41st pick, almost a random talent found overseas, while Embiid even when he started playing in College was basically the preordained first pick (falling to 3rd because of the injuries). Man the 2014 draft was weird.

[@ry_an.]

Jokic isn’t that detached. It just isn’t his life. Guaranteed he works harder than Embiid does improving his game.

[@GroundHOG-2010]

Embiid wanted to play in Paris so bad because it was his only guaranteed chance at a World Championship.. The odds of him carrying a team to a Finals and then winning it get slimmer and slimmer as he ages and gets worse and injured.

[@JigsawBell]

Are they shutting him down? I though Silver said there was no more load management or shutting players down. Adam needs to stop lying. Injuries are the biggest problem with the NBA. GM's are hoping their players will play in 45-50 games a year. That is not the formula of a Championship team.
