Joel Embiid smirking after another 2nd round exit: "Like someone (Giannis) said its not a failure, its steps to success"

Has Giannis' quote done more harm?

I dont see anything wrong with what he said here
Nah, what he said was bullshyt. After game six, he said he didn't get the ball enough down the stretch. You are the MVP and best player on the team. That cannot be an excuse. Demand the ball and get it done.

Game seven he was a complete no-show getting handled by Al Horford. He shot 42% in this series. That is unacceptable. If he plays up to his regular season standards, they win this series in six.

Harden of all people carried them to two of their three victories in this series. He was ass in games six and seven but he is not the best player on the team. Everything was there for Embiid to take this series home in game six and he failed, which is what has defined his postseason career. He needs to be better in the playoffs, period.

Embiid doesn't have a single defining playoff game. He has never carried the team on his back against an equal opponent.

If Jokic was on this team instead of Embiid, there is no question they would have won this series. Philly has everything they need besides their best player showing up when it matters most.

And for the record there's a litany of great players that never won a championship that at least showed up in big games. I don't hold that against players for not winning one but at least you show up

Miller
Yes Patrick Ewing
Dominique
McGrady
Barkley
Iverson

It's not about whether you win the championships it's whether you step up to the challenge in front of you.

Dominique never sniffed past the 2nd round but dropped 47 in game 7 on the Big 3 and damn near took the team out his damn self and is beloved for that game.
