AD injuries are just becoming way to constant

Towns is trying but wiggins is making it harder

Embiid:mjgrin:

Covington and embiid with noel:dead:

If covington gets any type of jumper:whew:
Embiid missed two years and you talking about AD injuries? :what:

AD's only missed like 4 games this year and one was due to rest. Prob less than that.

People just see the offense, they don't understand that Embiid is also a defensive anchor on par with the best defensive centers that almost all are just specialists. You can't take him out the game by fouling him because he'll hit freethrows, he's guarding smaller players in switches and he's getting to the line at ridiculous rate now....this is the type of center that will completely fukk up small ball teams in the future.






He actually couldn't do much during rehab, next season after an offseason of strength and conditioning and working on his game is gonna be scary. He's just playing off raw talent and athleticism right now.



But the jumper is already there :hhh:

We joke about 7-2 hakeem with 3 point range... but damn :hhh:

Board lives in the moment way too much. But Coli always has an obsession with skilled big men.

Embidd gonna be a great one though. But dudes crowning him after half a season lol
In a world of a thousand three pointers being shot on a nightly basis around the league, Embiid's play is a refreshing sight. Let The Coli cook breh

Now that I think about it. I'd still take Towns.. Maybe it's because I've seen more wolves game and not enough 76ers games...

:michaeljordanlaugh:And right on cue Davis gets voted to start in the All Star game for the 2nd time makin his 4th appearance and Towns drops 37 and 12 on 17 of 24 shootin bringin his team back for a win tonight:ufdup:meanwhile Embiid ain't a All Star starter after all this hype talkin bout the next Hakeem/Shaq/Duncan when he more so like the next Oden.

:wtf:

He is the reason they are winning games, he's the only player on the entire team with a positive +/- on the season. You can't name a better center prospect in the last 20 years than Embiid, it's not hyperbole when he was getting "next Hakeem" buzz during the draft.


Oden averaged 11/8 in 24mpg in his 2nd season (21 games), Embiid is averaging 20/8 in 25mpg, they aren't even comparable. He never averaged more than 13ppg for a month in his entire career, so what is this 50 game stretch you're talking about?
He's not the sole reason for them winnin they're just not tankin anymore, its been a shytload of better prospects than Embiid and callin him next Hakeem is the definition of hyperbole.:unclecharlesdead:

You only lookin at points which is your problem Oden was a defensive player, you don't have to be a scorer to be viewed as a future superstar so miss me wit that shyt.

im not mad but you sure are dumb and...



you a straight hoe for negging me for this comment
:mjlol:YOU sure are dumb quotin that post to whine about gettin negged proves you are mad, the only straight hoe is you get out your feelins fakkit.:umad:

Can u post this 50 game streak Greg oden had cause I don't recall that happening
:comeon:He only played a season worth of games wit Portland go look at his stats and find the games I ain't goin back to do it for you, I just remember he was gettin a bunch of double doubles and affectin the game on defense and people were like:mjgrin:this is what we expected him to be if he keeps this up he gon be a superstar in a few years. Basically what you Embiid stans are sayin in here.

Crowning him as what?

:mjlol:

The Sixers are minus 272 when he's not on the floor, and are actually + 55 when he is, he is literally the reason they win games and "not tankin" because of his impact.

Only looking at points? Embiid leads the league in opponent shooting in the paint and at the rim and the Sixers have a top 5 defense over the last month, a top 10 defense on the season which is a result of him being an elite rim protector. The nerve to say I'm only focusing on points, when the first half of your post is to talk about how much Towns scored and just ignoring that Embiid is right there with Gobert on defense.

He's not the best big man since Shaq, that is Duncan, he is the best CENTER prospect since Shaq. Name somebody else so I can laugh :mjgrin:

Oden was never impressive to me

When i saw embiids high school tape i thought he was hakeems love child

Dont compare the two
Doesn't matter if YOU didn't think Oden was impressive most did and Embiid is as injury prone as Oden right now so I can compare them all I want.:yeshrug:

Remain in denial my low basketball iq breh :wow:
You mean the way yall were in denial talkin bout "the process" while he was injured his first 2 years?:pachaha:dikkride a relative rookie who missed 2 seasons wit injuries callin him the next Hakeem after 29 games cause he averages 19 and 7 yet say someone else has low basketball IQ brehs.

:francis:You must not know the definition of the word "literally", I'm talkin bout you only lookin at points wit Oden sayin he not comparable cause he didn't score as many points. You "literally" pointed out they both averaged the same amount of rebounds in virtually the same amount of games wit Embiid playin 1 more minute per game but cause Oden wasn't a scorer you actin like they so different when they both were injury prone elite defenders, the only difference between them is points yet you have the nerve to get upset that I said you only focusin on points.:snoop:

:usure:I pointed out Towns havin a double double while winnin a game for his team the same thing you claimin Embiid is doin I wasn't just talkin bout how much he scored but its all you noticed cause you focusin on points:sas1:sayin he the best big man since Duncan and the best Center prospect since Shaq behind 29 games is what you should laugh at. You nikkas had been on here gassin him up heavy in college and were runnin round panicked worried that you would have egg on your face when he missed the first 2 seasons so yall gettin overly giddy cause of a few games:russ: @duckbutta "literally" pointed out how Towns has had better numbers his first year and a half while playin every game yet yall still stannin Embiid not only sayin he better but havin the audacity to call him the next Hakeem/Shaq/Duncan. And your dumbass is askin me to name somebody else thats a better big man/center prospect when Towns came into the league a season after your boy and already lapped him.:sas2:

No, I'm talking about Oden not being comparable as a defender as well, why is this such a difficult concept to grasp? Remove the offense and Embiid would be a Rudy Gobert level interior defender, that is why this thread exists in the first place, because the gap between him and Towns on defense is huge. Oden was never this good on defense, fukk outta here with that nonsense, the Sixers have the best defense in the NBA when Embiid is on the court playing with TJ McConnell, Ersan Illyasova, Nik Stauskas and Sergio Rodriguez. And the fact you're dismissing the offensive gap in itself is comedy, Oden had potential, he never showed anything close to what Embiid is doing like that bullshyt "50 game" stretch you were talking about, where is that by the way?

The Timberwolves have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league, so miss me with that whole "Towns won a game" shyt, his team has far more talent than the Sixers there's no reason why they should be 15-28 and the Sixers are 14-26. I'm focusin on points, when I keep bringing up Embiid's defense being on par with Goberts? Right.

Make up your mind, either people were gassing him up in College, or he's getting the best C prospect since Shaq behind 29 games, it can't be both.

@duckbutta "literally" pointed out how Towns has had better numbers his first year and a half while playin every game yet yall still stannin Embiid not only sayin he better but havin the audacity to call him the next Hakeem/Shaq/Duncan. And your dumbass is askin me to name somebody else thats a better big man/center prospect when Towns came into the league a season after your boy and already lapped him.:sas2:


What kind of stupid ass logic is this? It's painfully obvious Embiid has more potential than Towns, and the fact he's already a much better defender than him, lapped him? Is that why damn near everyone in this thread picked him over Towns? He is the best C prospect since Shaq, him playing this way just backs up all the shyt people were saying about him before the draft :yeshrug: If you can name another elite two way center since Shaq, let me know, until then :camby: cause Towns only does work on offense, hence his team being near the bottom of the league at it.

Oden was comparable on D you just a stan which is why this is such a difficult concept for YOU to grasp, look at you bytchin at me over this you have no objectivity wit him as shown by your over the top praise of dude. This thread exists cause yall been on his dikk since college and are hype that he's finally healthy (for now) and producin so yall bein outlandish wit the hyperbole like Coli nikkas always do, you havin a heart attack over me pointin out Towns is better than him (on both sides of the ball) and Oden was just as good on defense while callin him Hakeem Shaq and Duncan based on regular All Star numbers thru 29 games yet are tellin ME to get the fukk outta here wit that nonsense.:gucci:

:mjlol:@ sayin the 12 games below 500 Sixers have the best defense in the NBA at any point this season, thats the bullshyt dikkridin hyperbole that I'm talkin about. I seen you stan other players before and you always say retarded shyt when dikklickin but this is the woat, Oden showed the same thing in almost half of his games in his 2 seasons wit the Blazers I told you if you want to see it go look up his stats. :ufdup:You sayin the Timberwolves have been one of the most disappointin teams in the league when they have almost the same record as those shytty Sixers you hypin up so miss ME wit that "Embiid is winnin games for the Sixers" shyt, yall Sixers fans have been runnin down the list of great big men they supposedly have since the draft but all the sudden they have no talent.:stopitslime: You fail to see how hypocritical your arguments are you contradictin the fukk outta yourself cause you blind wit standom, once again retard I said you focusin on points wit Oden cause you were talkin bout him havin less points than your idol Embiid.

It is both I broke it down in that post how yall were gassin him up in college panicked when he flopped and are now overratin him more than ever cause he came back from injuries and put up solid numbers, nah its painfully obvious Towns has more potential than him dude played like a superstar in his rookie season (for all 82 games) and is great defensively too while Embiid only played 29 damn games in 3 seasons so hell yeah he got lapped.:childplease: I don't give a fukk who damn near everyone in this thread picked I already highlighted how this board has been filled wit Embiid stans since 2013 yall nikkas ain't objective at all yall callin him Hakeem and Shaq for Christ's sake.:michaeljordanlaugh: You sayin "him playin this way" as if he puttin up HOF numbers dude is 19 and 7 that don't back up shyt especially when Towns was 20 and 8 his rookie year and is 22 and 8 this year which shows he has more potential and is a better center prospect, Shaq was droppin 40 regularly in his prime while grabbin 15 boards you dumb as fukk for even makin that stupid comparison. Towns is a better 2 way player he puts up similar or better numbers while playin every game, Towns puts in work on defense too and the Sixers are in the bottom of the league too that supposed great defense he brings ain't translatin to wins but you tryna act like Embiid is leadin them to the playoffs or somethin. Take your stan blinders off and fukk outta here dikkhead.:camby:

No he wasn't dumb ass, where is this "50 game" stretch that you mentioned, lets get that out the way first. You keep talking out your ass without backing anything up that you say, everything I've said so far about Embiid's defense has either been posted with actual numbers. We not talking you and your stupid ass opinion, we're talking cold hard numbers. Prove what you're saying about Oden, if not :camby: cause I already know all his defensive numbers and Embiid has been better :mjgrin:



:mjlol:@ sayin the 12 games below 500 Sixers have the best defense in the NBA at any point this season, thats the bullshyt dikkridin hyperbole that I'm talkin about.

"At no point in the season"

I seen you stan other players before and you always say retarded shyt when dikklickin but this is the woat, Oden showed the same thing in almost half of his games in his 2 seasons wit the Blazers I told you if you want to see it go look up his stats. :ufdup:You sayin the Timberwolves have been one of the most disappointin teams in the league when they have almost the same record as those shytty Sixers you hypin up so miss ME wit that "Embiid is winnin games for the Sixers" shyt, yall Sixers fans have been runnin down the list of great big men they supposedly have since the draft but all the sudden they have no talent.:stopitslime: You fail to see how hypocritical your arguments are you contradictin the fukk outta yourself cause you blind wit standom, once again retard I said you focusin on points wit Oden cause you were talkin bout him havin less points than your idol Embiid.

You really are stupid, like for real. The Wolves are a disappointment because they have the same record as the Sixers who don't have their number 1 pick Ben Simmons and are starting a collection of players with Embiid that will be coming off the bench in the future, while the Wolves have LaVine, Wiggins, Dunn, Dieng, Shabazz. Only someone dumb as rocks wouldn't be able to see the difference in the situations there, the Wolves have Thibodeau, their expectations were higher than the team with Tj McConnell starting at PG.


No moron, I'm not the one making the claims about Oden's defense, you are, so either get the stats yourself or shut the fukk up :russ: I've been posted numbers that back up my talk about Embiid's defense, you obviously missed all the shyt and look like a fool as a result.



It is both I broke it down in that post how yall were gassin him up in college panicked when he flopped and are now overratin him more than ever cause he came back from injuries and put up solid numbers, nah its painfully obvious Towns has more potential than him dude played like a superstar in his rookie season (for all 82 games) and is great defensively too while Embiid only played 29 damn games in 3 seasons so hell yeah he got lapped.:childplease: I don't give a fukk who damn near everyone in this thread picked I already highlighted how this board has been filled wit Embiid stans since 2013 yall nikkas ain't objective at all yall callin him Hakeem and Shaq for Christ's sake.:michaeljordanlaugh: You sayin "him playin this way" as if he puttin up HOF numbers dude is 19 and 7 that don't back up shyt especially when Towns was 20 and 8 his rookie year and is 22 and 8 this year which shows he has more potential and is a better center prospect, Shaq was droppin 40 regularly in his prime while grabbin 15 boards you dumb as fukk for even makin that stupid comparison.

Take your stan blinders off and fukk outta here dikkhead.:camby:


:dead: @ You talking about anyone being a stan, you're the same dumb ass who said Rondo was on the same level athletically as Rose & Westbrook, what do you know about anything since you're so off about that.


Towns is a better two way player? You cant be serious, the Sixers don't have any offensive players on LaVine or Wiggins level to play with Embiid, so how are they winning any games? It's because they have the 10th best defense overall on the season BECAUSE OF EMBIID, while the Wolves with Tom Thibodeau and all their talent are 23rd in the league. Towns has a 109.7 defensive rating (Embiid 98.8) which is worse than Dieng which means he's part of the problem on D, he gives up nearly 10% higher guarding them rim than Embiid, yet you seem to think he's comparable defensively. You don't even seem to know what the word "prospect" means either which is just :hhh: Embiid is the better prospect because he projects out to being elite on both sides of the ball, similar offense to Towns with vastly better defense. Towns needs to prove he can play defense for any stretch of time, 29 games would be a nice start, but he's been straight up ass on defense this year.
