The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[fightinfunbags]

I love the Minivan but he's a huge liability in the playoffs.

I tried to tell these guys but they’re gonna have to see it for themselves when he gets hunted in every action he’s on the floor.

I mean, he gets stopped in the playoffs every season and we seem to do as well as most in keeping him in check.

He pretty much always gets hurt in the playoffs.

Embiid is averaging 36 and got 32 against CLE on 9/21 shooting

3rd worst shooting game of the season

I get it though. There were times in the regular season when we loved seeing on the floor, especially when he first showed up. Likable guy.

But he's a regular season rotation guy.

Well it is possible that one November game is indicative of what you will do against Embiid in a 7 game series. If you wind up playing against the Sixers.

This is how you do twitter correctly.

LMAO

Using his own graphic is boss shit.

I don’t know why people pay him any mind. Do you ever remember an NBA player sticking around for years to just be a mascot? That shits for the unathletic kid that everybody likes so they let him hang around the team and shag balls and shit during shoot around. The whole thing screamed beta cuck to me for years.

You said they have no one to stop Embiid. Literally nobody can stop Embiid now so who the fuck cares.

The Cavs have at least two 7 footers to throw at him which is more than most can say and they have a top 3 defense.

It just seems like you are throwing shit at the wall to see if it sticks

it's also a very stupid point to make.

Can Dunc beat KD in a shooting competition? Probably?

Does that matter?

No.

I could beat Shaq in a free throw contest.

That means fuck all.

Habahahah!

Fox in the hen house.

Doc Rivers was serving as consultant to Adrian Griffin at the request of the Bucks

League sources say Doc Rivers, who signed on as an ESPN analyst after getting fired by the Philadelphia 76ers in May 2023, began to serve as an informal consultant to Griffin at the behest of the B…

Or quits.

Bud to the Lakers makes sense

Didn't you make it to game 7 with him being hunted in every action on the court? His fault, too, the guy they really needed to show up in a game 7 was a no-show?

Oh FFS. I literally just said the Cavs could beat anyone in the East except for 3 teams and you think I'm the one throwing shit at the wall?

The Sixers are 25-6 when Embiid plays. They are going to be extremely difficult to beat if Embiid is healthy. Of course that is a big question mark.

and if memory serves either allen or Mobley missed the game.

I think we all know the playoffs can be different...but it's not like we have anything else to go by with these 2 teams facing off. You just assume we have no shot in the playoffs.

also seems like you are already making excuses should it not go Philly's way.

Niang played 3:00 minutes in that Game 7.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Because you have no one who can stop Embiid in the playoffs. Regular season games aren't a great indicator of how teams will do against each other in the playoffs.

I disagree on this. Jarrett Allen plays Embiid better than most. I think the Sixers would need a big Maxey series. They need him to be both scorer and playmaker. Garland and Mitchell are turnstiles so he needs to exploit that matchup and break down the defense. That’s a matchup where Maxey is arguably more important than Embiid.

And it’s the playoffs so animal ball against Embiid will get a different whistle as it does every year.

yes

Niang played 3:00 minutes in that Game 7.

Even less reason to think he's why you lost the series.

What excuses am I making? The team be healthy is now an excuse?

You guys got smoked in 5 last year. But I'm sure now that you Niang, things will be different this year. Probably conference champs.
