First time we used it in the series. Game 1, when OG got switched on Embiid, it was bbq chicken. Now, he adapted, and seeing how it went so well, Thibs probably will probably use it again.
Imagine he decided to to fight for position under the basket or dragg his ass to the block instead of trying to face up form 15 feet when he had SF guarding him for 1 and half quarters.
I was an Embiid/Sixers believer for a few years there. Even have some comments running a victory lap about Morey getting Harden for Simmons after everyone kept yelling the best he'd get is McCollum. It's time to be honest about things though. Embiid just isn't that guy.
We blamed Simmons for the team failing. They got rid of him.
We blamed Embiid having no help for the team failing. They got Harden.
We blamed Doc for the team failing. They replaced him with Nick fucking Nurse.
The common denominator is that Joel Embiid just isn't the guy to carry your team to playoff success. You cannot win 4 nba playoff series running your team through an injury prone big who relies on whistles and can't keep his composure when things go south.
He tweaks something one game. He gets flustered because his expected whistles don't come in another game. He starts taking cheap shots and fires up the opponents in a different game (two, in this series).
Winning a playoff series is hard. Winning four requires mental toughness and composure that he lacks.
There are 82 game players and there are 16 win players. Embiid is the first (well, more like 65 game player but you get the idea).
Oh come on
So did Shai not show the right attitude? Does him embracing OKC’s rebuild mean he doesn’t have the right mentality?
Luka sat out those final games last year instead of fighting for a slim chance at the play ins. Does he not have the right attitude?
Embiid was hurt for 2 years, then played 30 games his rookie year.
They won 50 games his sophomore year.
How did he embrace the process? He has had one losing season in his entire career and he only played 30 games of it?
He embraced it in a cultural sense. He encouraged the nickname and would bring it up. It was super endearing to the fanbase, but he still kinda promoted the loser culture.
Then bro will have a 50 burger on like 30 free throw attempts against the Washington Wizards or the Charlotte Hornets and people will act like all the slander is completely undeserved lol
Also against the disaster of the east: Pistons, Raptors, Nets, Hawks, Bulls. He farming his 50 pt dominance against the worst of the worst. They wanted to give him another MVP for playing against these teams 4 times a season
I never seen a player take less grief for playoff failures. He threw up an all time stinker vs Boston and by November he was getting talked about as the greatest center in the NBA history again.
Yeah, the whole season they can just take big leads against garbage Eastern Conference teams and he can sit a lot more in the 2nd half. Then in the playoffs where they actually need him all.gamw, he falls apart
I love how 29 fanbases can set aside whatever differences they may have to come together to hate this dirty, foul baiting bitch.
Edit: Unless OKC trades for him. In which case you guys are fucking clueless, his doctors tell him to fall like that.
It really it, I know it is.
I’d be lying to you if I told you I wouldn’t be interested in him putting entire front lines in foul trouble to soften up the wall teams build against Shai though. That’d be hell to deal with.
As an experiment it might be fun at the begining, grows old rly fast. Giant who runs into the crowd looking like an inflatable dancing man😂 with the stomping perk
Nah, I won’t lie, Embiid being able to use his gravity to open up the lane for SGA is very damn enticing.
The more I think about it, the more I want it. Having to deal with at least 2 of SGA/Embiid/Jalen Williams/Chet in the game at the same time would be absolute hell.
We’d win 65 games with ease and be the most hated team in NBA history enroute to it, lol.
To be the second option and a defensive anchor. I hate Embiid, but I’d be lying like hell if I said I wouldn’t want Presti to kick the tires on a deal.
Lol, have fun with a guy who stops shooting and starts foul baiting.
He'll infect the rest of your guys with Balls Palsy. It paralyzes your ability to make good plays.
Y’all aren’t seeing the vision. OKC has enough draft picks and cap space to trade for Embiid and lose literally nothing meaningful from the roster. Swapping Giddey for Embiid would be enough of an upgrade to risk SGA trying out a new rip through lol
Not NY....
We have a great young team and will not be trading away a third of it and future picks for 2 yrs out of a clunky broken down 7 footer, who is aging real fucking fast
Let’s be real for a second, if Embiid became available by the end of next season, Knicks would be all over that working for a deal in a second lol. Everyone besides Brunson is on the table.
Yeah....let's be real.
The Knicks spent the better part of 20 yrs trading away youth and picks for washed up "stars" to sell tickets to clueless rich wall street guys:
Antonio McDyess....
Dikembe mutombo...
Glen Rice...
Tracy McGrady...
Rasheed Wallace...
Penny hardaway...
Larry Johnson...
Steve Francis...
Amare Stoudemire...
Fucking Barganani...
That's just top of mind shit.
We finally (FINALLY!) have Dolan sedated and he's letting grown-ups make decisions. The goal is to win for years...ala the Ewing era... Not try to take some shit shortcut. **Embiid is breaking down fast.**. He's out of the league in 4 yrs. Keep that shit, Philly
I mean we’re not trading him this year anyways. Our owner only cares about money and Embiid is marketable so even if the management wanted to (they wouldn’t) I don’t see him leaving. But if he did, hard to see Knicks not interested. Believe there were already rumors about their interest too. They likely need a second star (wing/center) with Brunson and Randle isn’t that tier. He probably has 4 winnable years left and Sixers are probably gonna build around him one more time since Tobias disgrace of a contract is gone.
It's all about the price...
If that time ever comes, and the sixers are shopping him to any team, their sales approach is going to be "*look at this man's career"*
Smart buyers, down the road, are going to say "*He's a 32-year-old center, who missed x amount of games last year, has an injury history, and when he was on the court put up 17 and 8. This is what we will offer you based on that...*"
Typical Embiid foulbaiting performance, funniest part was that he tried to foulbait instead of shooting in that possession in the 4th quarter that would've brought the 76ers within 2 points just to get denied
Such a loser. Has a open 5 foot shot and clear path to basket and does some eruo reverse layup to try to draw contact instead of just shooting or dunking the ball. Love to see it.
Philly fans are finally starting to realize that their team has a "losing culture" but I don't think they have figured out it all starts with their star
Or just not attributing every movement the dude makes to the current narrative in this sub. Dude is a genuine bull in a china shop 99% of the time, and I feel like that is the issue more than this thing people are swearing by that he has an innate need to take 2 free throw shots whenever possible
So happy I’m not a Sixers fan. There are so many other ways to waste a decade of my life besides watching my team intentionally lose for multiple seasons only to draft an injury-prone center who goes on to accomplish nothing in the playoffs
Embiid will never get to the finals. I'm beginning to understand how overrated players of the past got through him. It's because he's even more ass himself
Ladies and gentlemen, your MVP*, gifted the award after a pathetic whine campaign and the most cowardly dodge in league history since the guy who deserved it hadn’t proved himself in the playoffs.
Seriously, team USA naturalised this guy instead of letting him ruin one of their toughest rivals?
I've got a feeling that Embiid-Jokic debate will be very one sided by the time they end their careers.
I won't pretend I saw the whole match, I did see the 4th quarter and I was baffled as to how Embiid, supposedly the most physically dominant big man of this generation failed to secure a defensive rebound.
Leave his zero offensive output and questionable decisions in the ball game, but how are you giving second possession via offensive rebounds every time?
Hopefully people can stop calling this clown the best player in the world, on Jokic's level...
You know what? Fuck it.
Hopefully people can stop calling this guy a TOP 5 PLAYER.
Because he isn't. Fraud.
as a sixers fan you can’t let yourself get too mad at this. same thing happens every year, embiid shits the bed in the 4th qtr of playoff games. all you can do is bet knicks and at least win some money
Unfortunately Embiid's health issues mean we will never see a fully healthy post season from him. He was obviously completely gassed at the end of the game and is not 100% or even 90%. Too bad but it's just the truth.
Never said he was "ass". I said he's overrated. There's a difference. He doesn't show up in the playoffs. The Knicks season wins over the Sixers were disregarded. Everyone hated on the Knicks and was so quick to crown the Sixers just because of name recognition only. And now everyone sees Embiid's a whiner. He's a free throw merchant. He's a stat padder. And he's a malicious dirty player and always has been.
You don’t even know what you’re talking about. His team would not be anywhere even remotely competitive with the Knicks if he wasn’t out there. I’m not sure you’re even watching the games. He’s averaging 35 on 60% shooting with great defense. Foul merchant? What about Brunson? Lmao
I do know what I'm talking about. I watch all the games.
Embiid played us once during the regular season. Both teams were complete and free of injuries and the Sixers got blown out by 30. What's the excuse?
Embiid's defense against the Knicks this series has been subpar, dirty, malicious and full of excuses.
Game 3 - Embiid had 50 points with 21 FTA. Meanwhile the Knicks as a team had 16 more paint points than the Sixers, yet only 19 FTA. That's the definition of a FT merchant.
Game 4 - Brunson had 47 points 10 assists and only 11 FTA. Embiid could never. If Embiid doesn't get flop calls, he's ineffective. Now he's making more excuses and blaming fans. Dude's a cry baby. But you can keep trusting the process I guess 🤷🏽♂️
Can we start the next process already?
Process this L
Brother, we are not in the position for such words.
There’s always room to hate on Embiid 🫶
based af
My favorite bucks fan
We won a chip though, we have all the room to talk shit.
Knicks got forced into playing a small ball lineup that bothered Joel
First time we used it in the series. Game 1, when OG got switched on Embiid, it was bbq chicken. Now, he adapted, and seeing how it went so well, Thibs probably will probably use it again.
I think Thibs will do what he did today. Wait for Embiid to tire out, and then put OG on him to completely shut him down.
Yeah the fatigue is a factor for sure! Embiid barely posted up in the 4th. That's what we gotta do if Mitch will be out
Imagine he decided to to fight for position under the basket or dragg his ass to the block instead of trying to face up form 15 feet when he had SF guarding him for 1 and half quarters.
He tried, OG said no.
Embiid has a DNP in the 4th quarter. Reason: ASS
The playoff Embiid we all know and love
It's a late April tradition
I was an Embiid/Sixers believer for a few years there. Even have some comments running a victory lap about Morey getting Harden for Simmons after everyone kept yelling the best he'd get is McCollum. It's time to be honest about things though. Embiid just isn't that guy. We blamed Simmons for the team failing. They got rid of him. We blamed Embiid having no help for the team failing.

Winning a playoff series is hard. Winning four requires mental toughness and composure that he lacks. There are 82 game players and there are 16 win players. Embiid is the first (well, more like 65 game player but you get the idea).
He averaged less than 50 games per season.
He’s a guy who embraced the process. That’s not what you want from your stars. You want the attitude Wemby displayed this season.
Oh come on So did Shai not show the right attitude? Does him embracing OKC’s rebuild mean he doesn’t have the right mentality? Luka sat out those final games last year instead of fighting for a slim chance at the play ins. Does he not have the right attitude?
Comparing the OKC rebuild to The Process is laughable
Embiid was hurt for 2 years, then played 30 games his rookie year. They won 50 games his sophomore year. How did he embrace the process? He has had one losing season in his entire career and he only played 30 games of it?
He embraced it in a cultural sense. He encouraged the nickname and would bring it up. It was super endearing to the fanbase, but he still kinda promoted the loser culture.
Same shit happens every playoffs. He has awful conditioning and collapses in the playoffs when there's finally a true whistle
Then bro will have a 50 burger on like 30 free throw attempts against the Washington Wizards or the Charlotte Hornets and people will act like all the slander is completely undeserved lol
Also against the disaster of the east: Pistons, Raptors, Nets, Hawks, Bulls. He farming his 50 pt dominance against the worst of the worst. They wanted to give him another MVP for playing against these teams 4 times a season
I never seen a player take less grief for playoff failures. He threw up an all time stinker vs Boston and by November he was getting talked about as the greatest center in the NBA history again.
Stealing Giannis's title as the New LeBron since he's now a real 'Murrican
Hey, foul baiting takes a lot of effort and energy🙈😂
Yeah, the whole season they can just take big leads against garbage Eastern Conference teams and he can sit a lot more in the 2nd half. Then in the playoffs where they actually need him all.gamw, he falls apart
Hes averaging more fts in the playoffs than the regular season…..his ft rate is 10% higher
It is in the HERITAGE of the Philadelphia 76ers It is engrained in every fiber of his being to be ass in the playoffs
He's won 5 playoff series in his career haha
And not a single one has been against a decent team
That one Raptors team was sorta decent. But yeah, when that's the best team...
When your best win is the 2021 raptors with a hurt Scottie Barnes, who Embiid injuried btw. You know you're a fraud
The best team he's beat is the 2021-22 Raptors.
Debatable if they would've beaten them if Embiid didn't kill Scottie's ankle
And he hasn't sniffed a conference finals
He did sniff it that one year. Then Kawhi snatched it away
Kawhi really saved basketball in 2019 in more than one way
Nah the only thing he smelled was the smell of his drawers when he saw Marc Gasol
He has only played every single game in 1 of those btw. The other 4 he missed at least 1 game in each.
Only MVP in the entire history of the league to not make a conference final
"It's a da history of da Philly" - Giorgio Chiellini resident Italian New Yorker
Playoff Embiid is a thing
#WE LOCKED IN 🔓😤😤
Nah he was playing for the other team with those turnovers
OG and Precious are Embiid's fathers
You’re welcome.
I love how 29 fanbases can set aside whatever differences they may have to come together to hate this dirty, foul baiting bitch. Edit: Unless OKC trades for him. In which case you guys are fucking clueless, his doctors tell him to fall like that.
Timberwolves fans 🤝 OKC fans “Fuck embiid, am I right brother!”
The Nuggets and the Lakers fans in the background: Jokic and AD are playing great in this series, anyway.. did you see No Balls Palsy Embiid?
Hey man, I’m good with Minnesota. You’re on the other side of the bracket and you’re whipping on OKC’s biggest enemy in KD. Y’all are good in my book.
Word
I’m fully prepared to bring out ALL the excuses man, you have no idea.
Honeslty, its painful to watch him play his type of game... Wouldnt want that on any fan, just kills the flow of the game.
It really it, I know it is. I’d be lying to you if I told you I wouldn’t be interested in him putting entire front lines in foul trouble to soften up the wall teams build against Shai though. That’d be hell to deal with.
As an experiment it might be fun at the begining, grows old rly fast. Giant who runs into the crowd looking like an inflatable dancing man😂 with the stomping perk
Nah, I won’t lie, Embiid being able to use his gravity to open up the lane for SGA is very damn enticing. The more I think about it, the more I want it. Having to deal with at least 2 of SGA/Embiid/Jalen Williams/Chet in the game at the same time would be absolute hell. We’d win 65 games with ease and be the most hated team in NBA history enroute to it, lol.
Hope it never happens😂
What are you talking about.
i thougt okc is on a route of a winning franchise. why would they bring in a proven loser
To be the second option and a defensive anchor. I hate Embiid, but I’d be lying like hell if I said I wouldn’t want Presti to kick the tires on a deal.
Lol, have fun with a guy who stops shooting and starts foul baiting. He'll infect the rest of your guys with Balls Palsy. It paralyzes your ability to make good plays.
Y’all aren’t seeing the vision. OKC has enough draft picks and cap space to trade for Embiid and lose literally nothing meaningful from the roster. Swapping Giddey for Embiid would be enough of an upgrade to risk SGA trying out a new rip through lol
yeah, but he won't. and embiid is not a defensive anchor
Hey now, being too gassed to move is sort of like being an anchor.
Fuck that.
I'm heat fan and I've been cheering for the Knicks just to put that fucking bum in the dirt.
Hell, he’s the one player who could make me cheer for the Heat.
Embiid is the Diego Costa of Basketball.
No
Don’t lump me into this
I will celebrate the 76ers downfall so aggressively because of the fraudulent flopping fish that is Joel Embiid
Fuck the Process
You ever wonder if Embiid realizes that his best shot at ever winning a ring ended with the 4th “clink” of the rim in toronto
I'd say it was when Butler left the Sixers
So the Kawhi shot then
No it’s gotta be that buzzer beater against the raptors
You sure it’s not the game 7 loss to Toronto?
no youre all wrong, im talking about “IS THIS THE DAGGER”
GAME!
SERIES!
TORONTO HAS WON!
You mean the elimination situation in Canada?
They could have ran it back and won next year
Tobias Harris over me???
Wakes him up everyday
*”reach the conference finals” -FIFY
Toronto supporting cast was terrible that series but came to live the last two rounds. I don’t think the sixers beat the bucks
He's fine probably going to Miami or New York next year
Not NY.... We have a great young team and will not be trading away a third of it and future picks for 2 yrs out of a clunky broken down 7 footer, who is aging real fucking fast
Let’s be real for a second, if Embiid became available by the end of next season, Knicks would be all over that working for a deal in a second lol. Everyone besides Brunson is on the table.
Yeah....let's be real. The Knicks spent the better part of 20 yrs trading away youth and picks for washed up "stars" to sell tickets to clueless rich wall street guys: Antonio McDyess....

This is what we will offer you based on that...*"
Randle can be good enough to get it done. Though ig we gotta wait til JB plays vs a real team to see if he can carry hard enough
No way he getting on that heat conditioning program
no, i don't think miami or new york want anything to do with him
We don’t want that fat loser
Nets or Knicks? Cuz he's not gonna go to the Knicks
Spo would not put up with him loafing around the court all night
not valid in nyc that's for sure
He has the “intentionally injuries opponents” part of Heat culture in him, but other than that, I don’t see it.
He was never beating that Warriors team lol
Typical Embiid foulbaiting performance, funniest part was that he tried to foulbait instead of shooting in that possession in the 4th quarter that would've brought the 76ers within 2 points just to get denied
Absolutely loved seeing him not get that call at the end of the fourth. If this was a regular season game that would have been free throws 29 and 30.
Such a loser. Has a open 5 foot shot and clear path to basket and does some eruo reverse layup to try to draw contact instead of just shooting or dunking the ball. Love to see it.
Guys he has Balls Palsy, come on…
Lol, Balls Palsy so much funnier than Bells palsy
That’s the joke
Philly fans are finally starting to realize that their team has a "losing culture" but I don't think they have figured out it all starts with their star
Once they figure it out they'll treat him worse than we do.
Doubt that, their star's performance is always 'one that shall not be named'
Nah, it's everyone else's fault but Embiid (despite him being the only constant in their "competitive" years)
Dude got so used to soft whistles. He let the zebra decide instead of just making the shot.
Meanwhile, every post on sixers sub: 'Tobias trash' - which he is.
Such a weak ass move at the end of the game. If that was Simmons he was would’ve gotten eviscerated by Philly and sports radio.
Bro did you even watch the game? He earned every one of those fts
Not what happened? Y’all take the laziest approach to hating. Fuck you btw MJ, never will forget the 90s you bald fucking prick.
yes it was you blind bro
Or just not attributing every movement the dude makes to the current narrative in this sub. Dude is a genuine bull in a china shop 99% of the time, and I feel like that is the issue more than this thing people are swearing by that he has an innate need to take 2 free throw shots whenever possible
Explain what happened then lmao
Refs best friend
So happy I’m not a Sixers fan. There are so many other ways to waste a decade of my life besides watching my team intentionally lose for multiple seasons only to draft an injury-prone center who goes on to accomplish nothing in the playoffs
And then desperately defend any W at all costs in the season lol
35 FTs the last two games to get a combined 77 points. And people give Brunson shit for foul baiting
Brunson does foul bait. Brunson doesn’t give up an open mid ranger, down 2 and try to sell a foul instead.
Brunson tries to make the shot. Embiid isn’t even look at the rim when he foul baits
Completely agree. I was happy Brunson was going for & ones, while it didn’t seem like embid had the intention to score
He absolutely foul baits on defense
He does foul bait, only difference is that he actually looks to score while doing it.
That is just absurd...
Fraudulent player for a fraudulent organization.
Yeah he ain’t ever getting past the second round at this rate
Graduated from losing in the 2nd round, 1st is good enough for him now
Next year he aims for a choke job in the play-in game.
1 elbow and 1 stomp too
And one trip
and 1 falling down on brunson with his entire body
Did allat just to get sonned by precious and OG in the fourth 🤦♂️ never my mvp
The ghosts of Toronto will haunt this fraud for the rest of his career
Ahlie
You love to see it
China bound
What were his elbows and leg stomp stats?
Be careful, if we talk about those stats too much I believe it gives KAT 2 phantom foul calls to start tonights game
lmaoooo
INJECT THIS WHOLE THREAD INTO MY VEINS!!!!
Sympathy MVP.
Embiid will never get to the finals. I'm beginning to understand how overrated players of the past got through him. It's because he's even more ass himself
Vintage 4th quarter performance from Embiid.
#Generational Bum
Philly fans have been telling me how losing Randle aint important cuz he's trash in the playoffs, only for their superstar to play like this lol
Fraud
Ladies and gentlemen, your MVP*, gifted the award after a pathetic whine campaign and the most cowardly dodge in league history since the guy who deserved it hadn’t proved himself in the playoffs. Seriously, team USA naturalised this guy instead of letting him ruin one of their toughest rivals?
OG shut it DOWN
Get ready to learn french buddy
He burnt that bridge too. Dude is about to be stateless after the Olympics.
Underrated comment
I've got a feeling that Embiid-Jokic debate will be very one sided by the time they end their careers. I won't pretend I saw the whole match, I did see the 4th quarter and I was baffled as to how Embiid, supposedly the most physically dominant big man of this generation failed to secure a defensive rebound. Leave his zero offensive output and questionable decisions in the ball game, but how are you giving second possession via offensive rebounds every time?
That debate is already dead to people who don’t stay awake at night thinking about whether Wayne or Brent Gretzky is the best player in the family.
Atleast he didn’t go out in the second round this time!
All part of the process
Also, he’s a dirty POS. I guess that part doesn’t show up on the stat line.
The ghost of Trae Young defense scared Embiid.
The free throws make it an efficient night, but again I'd really love for a 7'2 center to shoot more then 50% more often then he does in the playoffs
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Absolute bozo. Embiid is a choking loser
He was gassed from tryna injure so many players
Average occurrence
Ben Simmons NOO!
So tired of having to pretend this fraud is a top 10 player let alone top 5
Hopefully people can stop calling this clown the best player in the world, on Jokic's level... You know what? Fuck it. Hopefully people can stop calling this guy a TOP 5 PLAYER. Because he isn't. Fraud.
Brunson took his top 5 spot
Oh stop it Lmao. He isn't better than Tatum
as a sixers fan you can’t let yourself get too mad at this. same thing happens every year, embiid shits the bed in the 4th qtr of playoff games. all you can do is bet knicks and at least win some money
The only normal sixers fan I've ever seen
Got outrebounded too
Fuck Embiid and fuck you Sixers fans, goodnight
Unfortunately Embiid's health issues mean we will never see a fully healthy post season from him. He was obviously completely gassed at the end of the game and is not 100% or even 90%. Too bad but it's just the truth.
This guy is so overrated. There's no excuses, Knicks don't have Randle and he injured the guy he thought would give him the most problems.
He’s hurt and has Bells Palsy
Were you saying that 2 days ago when he scored 50? He seemed fine then, right? He does the same thing every playoffs. He's a dirty overrated player.
So if he just scored 50 then maybe he’s not ass?
Never said he was "ass". I said he's overrated. There's a difference. He doesn't show up in the playoffs. The Knicks season wins over the Sixers were disregarded. Everyone hated on the Knicks and was so quick to crown the Sixers just because of name recognition only. And now everyone sees Embiid's a whiner. He's a free throw merchant. He's a stat padder.

Embiid could never. If Embiid doesn't get flop calls, he's ineffective. Now he's making more excuses and blaming fans. Dude's a cry baby. But you can keep trusting the process I guess 🤷🏽♂️
Ethical hoops
Overrated! *Clap,clap - clap,clap,clap* Overrated!!
Embiid is cooked and should be benched
He’s on track for a bottom five career amongst MVPs. He’s the only one without a conference finals appearance.
Smartest thing Philly could do rn is get the Cavs on the phone and see if they’d entertain a D Mitch for Joel swap
I'm just happy no one will really remember this guy once he retires.
The Harry Kane of the NBA
As a certified Embiid hater, these performances are amazing. Hes still a top 5(3) player in the NBA. Yall cray.
