Can't front , I was hating on Embiid in the first half. His body language was trash, was camping out near the perimeter, when he was in the paint he was getting beasted on the boards by silva and the nigerian dude who were just trying harder........
all that shyt went out the window in the 3rd. :whew: maybe it was cause scrubs were guarding him but i think he can probably flip that switch whenever he wants to


i'm a simmons stan but i'm starting to get worried. look like dude regressed even from last year (god forbid if brett brown was actually getting the most out of him). it's like he not even trying to score now. just running to the paint and jumping in the air and throwing passes back to the perimeter :why:. he never shoots but at least sometimes he use to play bully ball with them hooks and layups. he not even doing that. i know they were using the giannis defensive wall against but damn. do some back door cuts without the ball or something to get involved. he just looked out of it mentally. he about to force the sixers to trade him at this rate

He doesn’t look any better than he did as a rookie offensively and seems to be regressing on that end. He was more aggressive offensively as well as a rookie. I’m concerned..JoJo has taken the leap. Ben needs to fix this shyt. It’s cool to be a distributor when the full team is healthy...not when half the team is out.

Embiid showed me something last night. Hopefully he can do the same come playoff time.

In the 4th he looked gassed, but he found that 2nd gear in the final seconds and OT. That’s the first time I’ve seen that from him.

PHI 2 ATL
Simmons played 32 minutes and had only 2 attempts.

Isaiah Joe
Mathias
Dwight
Mike Scott
Maxey

all put up more shots. We gotta stop caping for this nikka mane. He is who he is.

Embiid single handily brought us back in the 3rd quarter...breh dropped 20. Went 8/8.

He needs a #2 that can take pressure off him.

I been a Simmons fan since day 1, but if he's going to continue to play like he did yesterday, then I can't justify keeping him.

I really don't think adding Harden makes us better than Boston, Milwaukee, or Brooklyn. Or even a healthy Miami squad.

I do see Embiid's window as 3-4 years due to his health, so they not bout to wait for Ben to wake the fukk up.

This will be a train wreck in less than a year.

Yup and all the nikkas lobbying for this trade will be regretting it when Harden doesn’t sign an extension in two years and Embiid wants out


It’s like we all forgot about the Jimmy Butler situation when it comes to trading for players that haven’t committed long term
