Embiid cannot be the leader of a championship team, my memory of him when the team didnt perform is crying and heads down. This is the time when u show ur leadership, steer the ship, giving the team confidence that everything is ok.

[@Emperor-yb7mq]

All of this is true. A leader doesn't act like that. They don't have a team leader. This is why the Knicks will sweep the 76ers.

[@uasakura]

@@Emperor-yb7mq When the captain panics, the whole ship panics. I see bad managers, when they stress out or show their frustration, the entire team moral just goes down. I have been in that position before, even when i m stressed out n is anxious, as a leader, u keep it inside, n make sure the team is confident that there is a direction. Its not easy, but thats the role of a leader.

[@sqweeps.03]

I’d be mad too though

The singular reason Embiid isn't as effective as Jokic is his immobility. He's too big(weight) or just poorly conditioned. The Sixers usually play 4 on 5 until about 12 seconds into the shot clock because Embiid takes so long to get into the front court. He's so talented but his motor has been trash for a while.

[@walkrwalkr3622]

His game is too physical whereas Jokic is more strategic.

Baby Embid - excuses excuses - The NBA is doing right by letting scrappy things go & letting it play out. Real fouls would have been called. Maxey pushed off Hart to get free. Thats a loose ball foul. They let it go as they should at the end of a playoff game. As for Coach Naggy Nurse he was trying to call timeout when the ball was not possessed. He was waaaay too late. It would have been a crime to allow that timeout. Both teams played hard. Knicks wanted it more. Simple.

[@montrellspunk8923]

Nurse and Sixers blew the game. Trying to blame their meltdown on the refs is silly. Tyrese pushed Josh Hart with 2 hands before his jersey was supposedly grabbed on the inbounds attempt after the made Brunson 3. Then, if you want to call a time-out, don't grab the ball and run along the baseline looking to inbounds it. Instead, walk to the ref and signal "time out" as you say it. Finally, don't the Sixers have a set inbounds play they practiced all season for such a situation? I mean, I coach middle school students and the players all know various plays to get someone open on an inbounds, most involving off-ball screens, which the Sixers never tried. Basic stuff. Do better, Nick.
