They use the injured excuses for Embiid but slander Tatum while he plays through injuries. They say “Tatum gets carried” but say Embiid needs more help when he loses next to Jimmy Butler and James Harden. Tatum put 51 on him in a game 7 and not a PEEP from this dickrider network. Shits pathetic. Tatum has a ring and Embiid never will.

CP3 would rather go to San Antonio than team up with LeBron…😂 Bronny would rob CP3 of minutes. Then CP3’s former teammate happens to be his head coach. CP3 and JJ used to hate each other before becoming teammates. People easily forget how hated Redick was in college. I figure CP3 went to San Antonio for a few reasons… - Gets to play with Wemby - Gets to play under Pop - No state income taxes - Has a more meaningful role I thought CP3 should’ve returned to Phoenix. But since he spent years in Houston, he didn’t mind living in Texas again. I figure it’s his last year as he turns 40 next year in Year 20. He usually thrives as a mentor and not when other stars with big egos are around. One of his best seasons was his lone year in OKC mentoring Shai and other kids. Then his first season in Phoenix making the Finals. I don’t think the Atlantic division has the three best teams. NYC and Philly are still a bit unproven. Boston or Miami has won the East four of the last five years with the lone one by Milwaukee in 2021. NYC is extremely beatable and they did lose Hartenstein. While Philly has never made it passed the second round in two decades. From the free agency I’ve seen so far, Skip Bayless’ OKC looks like a dark horse and looks improved. Dallas and OKC improved but Denver and Minny didn’t. 1. Boston Celtics 2. Dallas Mavericks 3. Oklahoma City Thunder 4. Minnesota Timberwolves 5. Denver Nuggets 6. New York Knicks 7. Philadelphia 76ers Paul George is NOT a winner. Similar to Kawhi, Embiid is not always healthy. Nothing really changes for Philly. They’re just as cursed as the Clippers.

When will the media understand that Embiid is a CHOKER? This is the truth we've been seeing for YEARS, yet somehow there is always conversation about him being a champion. It's beyond me how he gets treated better than Giannis, who's a proven CHAMPION

I'm baffled by some of these analysts still sticking by the timberwolves. Ant can average 40 a game in the postseason but aslong as KAT continue shooting 3s and Gobert is a liability they'll never win.

@@SPACEKNOCKERZ76 he’s the only MVP to never make the conference finals. He has repeatedly come up short in the biggest moments and it’s getting laughable at this point. He’s gonna be like David Robinson winning titles at the end of his career once Duncan was his teammate

Embiid hasn’t made it to the conference finals but adding a known playoff choker makes them a top 3 team??? And Luka who has gone farther than he ever has twice now is under more pressure??? Two of the stupidest takes on ESPN today and that’s impressive

lol Tatum has to win 10 titles before he will get recognition. Embiid just has to show up and he’s golden. Weird. Then worried about Luka’s attitude while Joel has been obnoxious his whole career.

Who is this dude talking 'bout "It was a night."?! It took 7 games to win, sir; so it wasn't a night... it was a series that they had taken over, in fact, and were then subsequently beat.

If Embiid can just stay in the paint and dominate things could be amazing, he doesn’t need to be on the wing now with Paul George in town and Maxey is a star

Luka would never have to win a championship if we’re judging him based on whether or not embiid is under pressure to win one. Embiid been in the league way longer and always disappears even though he plays good. In what universe and what drugs would I have to do to think that Luka is under more pressure to win a ring. But I get it though someone has to go out their way to take some pressure off embiid
