The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[TheSnowdog]

Gotta be one of the dumber organizations out there.

The league tends to look the other way if you do things like tanking and load management quietly.

They keep saying the quiet part out loud.

I’ve been a Embiid defender
But him not playing the first week is ridiculous

If his knee is that shaky then why play in the Olympics?

If you can only play 30-40 games in the season just retire dude

I completely agree

Retire today

His punishment will be therapy twice a week with @fightinfunbags

If this doesn’t bring him back he gone

I was told I was foolish when I said Philly should trade him while he had value. The fact that he and George can't even make it to opening day without issues is pretty bleak.

Thoughts @fightinfunbags

@fightinfunbags wanted to see Embiid put up big stats on school nights against the likes of Charlotte. He's going to be disappointed watching Andre Drummond get 20 boards and no points in a narrow win.

Sixers Facing NBA Investigation Over Embiid's Early-Season Absence

The league is expected to look into whether the Sixers are violating the player participation policy.

Nothing will of this

Silver will cover it up and sweep it under the rug like he did every single one of their other transgressions

What crime is he committing? I think the NBA is basically going to say to the Sixers that Embiid needs to play important road games because fans expect to see it, etc.

Basically admitting you’re gonna be faking injuries to sit him

 

[Iggloo]

They're not saying that he is injured though, they are basically saying his body can't take games without extended rest anymore due to pain. It's not a good thing to hear obviously but it is not faking any injury.

It's either:

True, and Embiid is breaking down.

False, and Embiid is not in good enough shape to play basketball on opening day.

We'll find out whenever they finally put him on the court. Their strategy this year seems to be, he can't break down right before the playoffs again if we don't play him!

 

[Iggloo]

He’s going to come back just in time to ruin Brooklyn’s lottery chances isn’t he?

As I posted earlier, it's not him doing that is the problem,..it's announcing it that is the problem.

Everybody and their brother knows Lebron is gonna take some games off and isn't playing both games in back to backs...but he and the Lakers aren't announcing it.

Love the pace and new offense. They look so much better withe ball in Mitchell’s hands and no Garland

 

[thunderc]

Lavine is unconscious at the moment can’t miss

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Ben Simmons makes a 3 tonight!

Book it!!!

Ok maybe not

Miami made this game get away from them fast
