View Full Version : I believe Embiid is shook, THROWING performances, and falsely blaming his knee

Im saying what I believe and Im not saying it lightly.
He played the Olympics, he was not HURT to start the season (just sat out of caution) and theres been no knee injury event since. Theyre suiting him up to play.
He is not in a healthy place mentally, he doesnt want the pressure/expectations/spotlight of the playoffs, and after he got booed for passing up that game winning three attempt he started playing very badly and talking about surgery. He is using his knee as an excuse. His knee is not the issue. He does not want to play right now and I believe he is LYING about the knee being the problem. I suspect hes going to announce a shut down/surgery soon and essentially STEAL money by not playing when he could.
I like Embiid the person and I know the convention is not to question guys injury sincerity. But I believe theres too much evidence here. The Sixers need to tell him to EITHER stop whining and hiding and to get hungry and go kick some ass, or take the rest of the season off WITHOUT pay.
What he's doing now is not acceptable tbh. Hes throwing games at this point trying to get shut down and sent to knee rehab instead of facing the pressure and expectations of an elite player getting paid FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR.
It's a massive **** you to every paying fan. It's legitimately an outrage.

Would Embiid love a 45-game season, on a 68ft court ?
Or would he still not love the game that much ?
What age did he start playing ?

You’re acting like this is just a down year for the Nets. The franchise stinks. Hasn’t been worthy of talks since Jason Kidd was throwing Kmart lobs. You think this franchise has any promise? Any bright future? Trending up? The only and I repeat ONLY time the franchise was talked about is the “Big 3” where all 3 are on different teams. Kyrie in Dallas Durant in Phx and Harden with Clippers. What do you dudes be thinking when you post? Oh you were trying to add context? How about this for context. Embiid has been injured most of the season. George battles injuries. Even Maxey was out to start the season. When you put together a new roster you want them to form chemistry as the season progresses. No real chemistry has been formed given so many injuries to key players. How’s that for a flex? Or do you want to go back to me saying both teams are ass and not worth bragging about.
Except one of us is trying to win
Nets are trying to win? Bahahaha Ok. You guys keep up the good work…

Not sure Ainge had anything to do with the Sixers. I mean yall got over on the Fultz trade but that didn’t alter the Sixers course. Sixers derailed when they fired Hinkie and hired the Colangelos. And since then the franchise has gone back to what Hinkie said didn’t work. Not that Hinkie plan had he been able to see it through would have been much better. We just don’t know because he was forced out. So we can watch the franchise give up draft assets, overpay free agents and be handcuffed financially. Where the options are trade guys you just signed 1-2 years into their deal.

They seem Mr from a #3 pick and future first rounder to the #1 with Ainge knowing who they wanted and who was Goin by to be the better player. I won't say that Ainge saw how bad it would go with Fultz but that was absolutely damaging. At the least we can say that Ainge put his hands on Philly.
Absolutely crazy how Embiid is all the Sixers have to show for the Process.

Embiid is so good that when he averages 24 ppg for a season, he is throwing games and not trying :oldlol:. gosh.

After he had no trouble scoring 27 against the Raptors but got BOOED for passing up a game winner and committing the game losing turnover, he immediately started talking about "getting the knee fixed" and has shot 7-23 in the two games since. What happened? The booing destablized his knee?
His competitive spirit is broken and it seems pretty clear to me he is now TRYING to get shut down to avoid pressure and booing and expectations.

Listen to you. You went from at least we are trying to win to we are trying to tank. Even the fan base is bad hahaha
The irony in you laughing at the Sixers once upon a time tanking for a top pick. And here we are the nets are doing it? And you’re laughing at another franchise. The nerve.

The Ainge trade was bad but not impactful as you think. Sixers made up for it by taking Tyrese Maxey late in the first rd who became what Fultz was supposed to be. Ben Simmons as the top pick in the draft not panning out. Jimmy Butler leaving but I guess given his track record that would’ve been inevitable. Trading for Harden and that being shortlived this getting Pennies on the dollar in a trade. Giving Tobias George a max deal at his age coming off a contact year. Embiid deciding to go for gold knowing he should’ve got his body right in preparation for this season. Sixers neglecting the bench for years and it biting them in the ass come playoffs. Fleecing us in a trade has a small part in where we are today. Ben Simmons passing up an open dunk in the playoffs tops that.
The Ainge trade will be apart of any Celtics vs Sixers talk. Not so much the state of the Sixers today.
Why does he still avoid joker in denver? I really wonder.

I never said we're trying to win the expectation for the Nets going into this season was to tank as hard as possible to give us the best chance to land Cooper
Philly's expectation with the Paul George trade was to overcome Boston and go to the NBA finals
And guess what you boys are not in in the play in tournament
Paul George,Embiid,Maxey one of the worst teams in the league, yikes Simmons wouldn't have them losing like this
