Joel Embiid GOT THE BAG in Philly 💰 He FINALLY has a championship chance! - Zach Lowe | NBA Today

[@pg13pacernation30]

Let’s see if this time Embiid can get out from the sec round with the addition of PG but I just got a feeling Sixers will choke once again

[@taiyonblount8283]

Depends on who they play if they run into the Celtics 2nd round that’s completely different

[@seijisawamura5415]

Literally the deepest team yet around Joel and Maxey just entered his prime. They have a big chance

[@youngblood4127]

they ain’t going no where. Philly just don’t want to go with out a star being in a huge market. So they got to keep him. Paul George Will determine if the even get to the finals.

[@ItzzShazey]

@@seijisawamura5415yup and Harris can’t drag them down like he did for as many years as he was on the team being the third option. He was literally unplayable in the playoffs against the knicks and Nurse had no choice but to play him in case they wanted to sign an trade him. It’s not like the lakers with Westbrook where they played him with the 2nd unit being paid as much as he was. Lebron was calling the shots I’m sure. Embiid won’t put his foot down like Lebron will since he doesn’t have 4 rings to do so.

[@ThatmanShowtime]

Not a sixers fan but been living in South jersey for most of my life. If the sixers want to make it to the Finals they have to beat the Celtics in 6 games

[@SPACEKNOCKERZ76]

Only 2 teams he had a chance to win with. Jimmys year and hardens last year with them. Outside that Joel didn’t have a pg to run a pick n roll with. Seeing how Ben turned out idk how a team could win with him and tobi making 80 together. They finally shed dead weight n Joel has his pg. I think him n maxey can make a run.

Why are we acting like he played with trash cans? Bro played with Jimmy butler Simmons when he was good harden lead the league in assists Maxey just won most improved multiple shooters solid coaches and somehow he gets more passes than anyone even praised. While Jokic is playing a tougher conference has won a chip embiid wont even step foot on Denver's court definition of soft player who's game is predicated off drawing fouls thought they hated when harden did it but love it when embiid does just watch that sixers knicks playoff series half his points were from the ft line

[@altdelete7696]

Oh i just realized ur a jokic stan. So I guess I was mostly wasting my breath. All i really should say is: could you swear on ur mother that you would rather have all star simmons and harden in the playoffs over Jamal Murray?

[@PurpleMonkeyDishwasher88]

"He FINALLY has a championship chance!" LMAOOOO... this is a joke right? The man has had multiple All-Stars on his team and loaded rosters with plenty of great role players, and the only reason they don't advance past the 2nd round is because Mr Glass falls apart during the postseason. Stop giving the man excuses.

[@blablablaa14]

I mean in retrospect are you blaming him for losing with Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz as the other high picks on his team? Or losing with Harden and Maxey? He arguably has never had a really good team. He also never was healthy in the playoffs, but even if he was healthy they aren't winning a title with those teams so it didn't really matter in the end

[@Marcus12128]

Same old narrative too, this team is basically the clippers of the eastern conference and look who they acquired lol

[@SPACEKNOCKERZ76]

Always is a stretch lol he was drafted by a team trying not to win. Him developing into an mvp made the team a contender. They drafted Noel nerlens and okafor to play with him. And didn’t draft a player he could run a pick roll with mcw fultz Ben lol had 2 seasons with a good enough team to win jimmys year and hardens last year. Joel def has to better in the playoffs but he’s had a lot of weird stuff going on on around him. Even Joel balling out on most other teams he’s had weren’t good enough. Def should’ve got to an Ecf at least 2-3 times tho.

Does he? I just remember game 7 in Boston. Don't talk title contender if you can't get to the Conference Finals.

[@ColdHoops]

The story of that series was game 6. Philly got to 83 points and it was all over from there. I hope he proves me wrong. But, just like Harden's best chance to win was in 2018, I don't see Embiid ever having a BETTER opportunity to win a championship than he did in 2023. Bare in mind, he's played in the 'weaker' conference his whole career too smh

[@TheManFromKansas]

I remember when he arrived at THE Univ OF Kansas. He knew from day 1, from hard work, he would be one of the greats . Congrats Joel, but you got to stay healthy and earn that money, Philly fans got great expectations.

[@PurpleMonkeyDishwasher88]

it's ridiculous, outside of 2 years, he's always had a loaded roster with at least 1 All Star.
