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?

All Embiid cared about was winning MVP

He been begging and whining for it for years now

He finally got it and don’t give a fukk about nothing else anymore

I felt he was a hoe for awhile now and tried to ignore it but I can’t anymore

He‘s on my NBA bytch ass nikka list with KD, Kyrie, Harden, Ja, Dame

@Gil Scott-Heroin like come on b.






I don’t know why you take this role of being the dude who goes against the “Coli’s narratives” to the point you end just creating counter narratives.



But run with what you want.

nikkas just trying to get headlines as usual

This is why it's so important to have a tier 1 closer on your team.....As great as Embiid is, he's not an elite closer. Embiid is a top 3 player but he isn't going to consistently take over the game down the stretch like Lebron, Curry, Kawhi, Doncic, Butler, Kyrie......I think Philly should go hard after Kyrie...Do a straight-up sign/trade or work out a multi-team deal.....Embiid needs a 2nd option who knows how to close games.
This, Kyrie or Dame would be my picks

I guess you hypocrites need to hear it from the goat Kobe’s mouth. When Kobe says it, it’s all :ohhh: when Giannis says it it’s all :childplease:




The hate for Giannis/Embiid is too strong here.

Giannis I let slide
Embiid just clinging to what he said as an excuse

Giannis' team has reached the pinnacle with Giannis as the number one reason for said reaching of the pinnacle.

It's a lot more palatable for someone who has succeeded at that level to say "there's steps to this shyt" as opposed to someone who has never been near the doorstep of the title.

All that said, the totality of Embiid's postgame comments are acceptable.

I agree. The media fan boys didn’t bash Jokic for failing miserably the past two years, so the same should go for Embiid.

Trust the process :mjgrin:


Jokic didnt have this running mate last year and has made a conference finals.....Embiid is the one who has failed miserably.Not only in playoff success but look how badly his numbers fell off from the regular season....nikka needs a pie to the face.

its a team full of workers on that Denver squad and they didnt have the expectations in the West.

Philly has a perennial playoff choker in Harden. He is the player who just thinks he can show up to the game and its all good.

Denver does not have that mentality
