good game

Vaughn pushing the right buttons. Good time out down 14. He’s tweaked the zone too and doing a better job in defending ball into Jo

He loves these rims and sight lines. Smooth

Harden has been yuck all night but trying to redeem himself

 

[fightinfunbags]

Kyrie is sick!

 

[fightinfunbags]

Still some bad 4th quarter turnovers from Harden. Embiid has also been subpar tonight.

Welp, there goes my Philly -6

Should have talked to me. First game back at home after a 5 game road swing has subpar effort written all over it. They’re lucky they won it at the line.

He got 12 now but yeah lets act like he not playing well in the 2nd half....copy

I will give Simmons some credit for finally manning up last night and playing some more aggressive basketball. Maybe confronting his demons in Philly and playing positive offensive basketball will carry over into the rest of the season for him. Maybe....

But all Philly fans know that Ben Simmons never maintains that kind of intensity on the offensive side of the floor. It's sad because if he just did that, even if he didn't develop his game anymore, he's be a 20 ppg scorer!

Hey Knicks,

I appreciate you.

So let’s review how all of this works:
When it comes time to select All NBA, Joel Embiid is a center and only a center and he’s 2nd team. However, when it comes time to select the All Star game starters there is no center, just front court players so Joel Embiid is therefore not a starter. Makes perfect sense. Are we ready to admit yet that people hate the guy?

Players and media had him starting. Fans voted him 4th which is why he isn't starting

At the end of the day all 4 of those guys are all star starters but they unfortunately all fall under the forward bracket. Doesn't mean they hate him

 

[bksballer89]

No different than the guard situation in the west.

SGA and Ja are both starters but there's only 2 spots so all 4 couldn't get the start

That’s much better. Joel Embiid isn’t an All Star center because of a bunch of Filipinos with nothing do all day except keep voting for the NBA All Star game.

Oh there’s always reasoning applied after the fact but the trend is well established…Embiid gets fucked.

People get fucked yearly for this. There are 4 superstars at the forward position. Someone is going to be left out

 

[bksballer89]

Last year Tatum got the short end of the stick.

This year it was embiid

Maybe next year it is KD

And someone is always Joel Embiid. You see where the media had Tatum? Above Giannis. Above Durant. Remember all that shit I talk about the Ringer and this little clique of 5’8’’ no talent ass clown Mass Holes led by Bill Simmons? Crazy how that shit works out. Go log into your app and put $50 on Tatum to win MVP. The Mass Holes are going to wish it into existence. They already told you with this vote how this is going.
