JTA66 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Obviously there was a glitch in the Matrix a few years ago that allowed the Eagles to win the Super Bowl. But order has been restored to the universe and we're back to teams of azz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Young was doing his thing for ATL, WTF was Embiid? After an amazing first 3 quarters, he disappeared when we needed him most. I'm also growing tired of his constant flopping. Own the paint and dominate and stop begging for free throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish you could be more respectful of mine. Trae has stepped up late in how many games? Embiid has not. That's how I see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 @Birds~69 my point is...Embiid is our "money guy." Yet, what is our record in games decided by less than 10 points in the playoffs? I believe it's 1-4. That's not #1 seed worthy. With a superstar it should be better than that. He's not delivering down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the team? A gross 0 of 11, including just one field goal attempt from three-time All-Star Ben Simmons. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/76ers-game-5-collapse-hawks/gx3knvpgdz7518rxuezihx8re 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been going to games since 1975. I've been to close to 800 games in person. I know the game pretty well... I'm not arguing about Simmons. I agree with you - but what did Embiid shoot over the final 8 minutes? Look at every elite team in recent history...every one of them had a star. Did MJ disappear in the final minutes? Lebron? Kobe? Of course not. The ball ended up in their hands, and they delivered. Embiid is our man. Last night, down the stretch, he had multiple turnovers, 2 HUGE missed free throws, and very little else. Yes, no one else did a damn thing. I get that. I was there. I can tell you that there were others leaving last night saying the same thing that I am now. While he had no help other than from Seth, he did nothing in the final minutes other than turn it over. Sorry, that's just the facts. I'll go now. Thought this could be a place to talk and not be insulted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes matters worse is he's good driving to the bucket but doesn't want to because he's afraid of getting fouled....then he'll brick from the FT line. (mental) He won't be here next year... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 I can see both sides of your guys points. Embiid was dominant overall but when the games came down to the wire, he made some real boneheaded mistakes. But overall he is not the problem. I think those errors stem from having only one guy he can trust to dish the ball off to when the game gets close and that's Curry. One of Tobi or Simmons has to go. It sucks that they are going to sell really low on Simmons and I think the best you are going to get back is a CJ Mccollum type "star" but you can't roll another year with this "big 3". We probably only have 1-3 years left of embiid before his body breaks down and they need to surround him with talent that can help him ASAP. Tobi and Simmons just are not getting the job done.

Newman Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Anybody is better than Simmons. His decision to pass though he had an open dunk sealed the deal for me last night. It's downright pathetic, and what an awful way to end an otherwise great regular season. Embiid needs another star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Rant (s): Hate to sound mean but why are they still saying 160 people "still missing" in the Florida building collapse? I say at best 3 are still alive and giving families false hope. Yeah, a heavy brick /stone 12 story falls at 1:30am and people just survive? The people on the 6-12 floor would die from height. Those below get squashed even if they survive the height. I say by Sunday they (media) slowly start saying "we doubt anyone could survived." Sick of Brittany and her mental issues. Millions have mental issues but don't get her attention 24/7. Hey Brittany tell your screwed up Dad to F-off and leave....you have millions! What's he going to do ??? Watching PHL17 version of Ch6 at 10pm and Adam Joseph shows the nasty hot/humid/steamy 90s 5 day forecast. Then when done and as he does the awkward transition back to news desk....the giggly anchor laughing/smiling says "Look Great!" WTF!!! Trade Simmons.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
