Valentines day is getting closer, guys.

Start thinking about it. If you are not married yet, pop the question. Make it a special day she will always remember.

Also, follow me for more relationship advice.

Classic.

There is no Embiid Cult. This is a real sports city that is critical of stars. Believe me. Embiid would love to miss out on the criticism.

Oh there's an Embiid cult for sure. But it's a cult of one, you.

phuck philly!!!

Always injured Embiid can only miss about 6 games the rest of the season they said last night during the game or he won't qualify for any awards. He'll miss at least 7 more.

crazy how Kuminga and Wiggins made it to the line just fine

maybe because they weren't hunting 3s all game.

It’s so crazy how narratives change.

“Embiid only cares about MVP!” Was the old narrative. Now he doesn’t care enough about a regular season matchup is the new one.

 

[fightinfunbags]

This is the democratization of media. This fucking bitch has the balls to question a man’s character because he misses a game due to injury? Stay in your lane.


With the democratization of information you have no talent ass clowns like this guy thinking he has the right to come at a man’s character. Joel Embiid has been nothing but a good citizen his entire career and he’s getting his character questioned by the likes of this fuck haha.

Um.....clearly I am talking about NBA title since ECF's are not the end goal.

LOL.

Yeah I know you were, but a conference championship is not nothing.
Its a high level accomplishment.

 

[tlance]

And the kids are plenty compensated beyond nil

I don’t really care about like the UCf kicker who had a YouTube channel

Or Jeremy bloom getting money for a completely different sport

But this current shit is money laundering around ncaa rules

You are a weird dude.

This isn’t money laundering. It is capitalism.

The bedrock of what our country was built on.

Then turn pro

The ncaa rules are clear

Hence money laundering

Yeah, nice try.

The narrative is that he has ducked out of every game in Denver since 2019 and it's not new.

You trying to excuse it is hilarious though...especially since we all know that if it were the other way around, you'd be on saying Jokic is afraid of Embiid.

Why is the stat padder who is only focused on winning MVPs passing up on a matchup he has dominated every time they take the court together? Listen… @The Q the king of conspiracy theories will tell you all about it. For a good conspiracy theory to land it has to make sense. This conspiracy theory doesn’t make sense.

I would sit my stars in Denver cause of the altitude

Actually, they used to be clear. It was how and when they were enforced that was unclear and that was the result of NCAA incompetence and selective enforcement.

Who knows why? Facts are facts and the fact is, he has missed playing in Denver for 4 straight years. If this were Jokic, you'd be all over this board criticizing...but since it's Embiid, you're defending it.

Happens a couple of times...you can call it coincidental. 4 straight years? That's not coincidental anymore.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Who knows why?

The answer is obvious to all. The simplest explanation is likely the explanation. Dude is always hurt. I complain about it all the time. He missed his first two years to injury and the medical staff has treated him with kid gloves ever since. This is like the 6th or 7th time he’s been scratched within an hour of tip because medical staff didn’t like his warmup and the way he was moving. This isn’t a new occurrence with Embiid.

Believe me! There’s no one in this world who wishes more that he wasn’t who he is with injuries.

Facts are facts and the fact is, he has missed playing in Denver for 4 straight years.

The problem is never “the facts”. I’m not squabbling with your fact. Why do I have to explain this to you? The problem is your loosely drawn conclusion that he’s ducking a guy that he outplays every single time they meet. Paul Reed put 30 on him. People talk about him caring too much about narrative and MVP and blah blah blah. But you think it’s a calculated move for him to fuel a negative narrative about him?!?!? It makes no sense. It’s just flat out intellectually lazy on your part.

It’s not about the “fact”. That isn’t in dispute. It’s about the poor conclusion you’ve drawn. I’d like to think you’re better than that.

If this were Jokic, you'd be all over this board criticizing...but since it's Embiid, you're defending it.

I’m not defending shit. I’m saying I’d love for him to play all 82 and be healthy for the playoffs. Why would I come at Jokic for missing a game or games when I have enough fodder to use when I point to real times they’ve taken the floor against each other.

Embiid has averaged 41/13 in his last three games vs Jokic?!?!?

Happens a couple of times...you can call it coincidental. 4 straight years? That's not coincidental anymore.

Same condition exists for KAT, Gobert, Jokic, AD…hmmmm…what do all three of those guys have in common?

Ohhhh! They play in the Western conference. Hmmm…it’s almost like a non-conference opponent doesn’t get the same level of priority for the injured player as a conference game. But nah…he’s ducking the guy that allowed 30 to Paul Reed yesterday. That’s the ticket!

It’s harder to recover in Denver

I don’t like it, but I get it

 

[dtgold88]

Is it just me or do these Knicks players complain to the refs every possession lol. A little over the top

Haven't seen NY much....but wow the Bucks sure do. Thinking a team with Giannis that complains to the refs about anything should be issued a tech.
