IM NOT GOING BY ANYTHING.
YOU ASKED A QUESTION AND I ANSWERED.
LMA DONINATED DPOY GOBERT.
The last time Embiid played Gobert he fouled him out in 20 mins
Embiid better, even in the post now too where he scores more and at a higher percentage

There's literally nothing he's better at than Embiid, he even shoots a lower percentage in the post
Better scorer? Nope.
Better rebounder? Nope.
Better shot blocker? Nope
Better interior defender? Nope.
Better passer? Nope
What do you have other than him shooting a slightly higher percentage ONLY because he doesn't take as many threes
Isn't Embiid putting up all these numbers next to a guy who gets a triple double every other game?
Cause LMA is putting up these numbers while the actual number 1 is out and the second leading scorer other than him actually comes off the bench...
I mean...he is being flanked by JJ Reddikk and he shooting 41% from 3 so you can't dig down on Embiid TO much in the post...
You want me to post what Danny Green is shooting from 3...what mills is shooting from 3...what really anybody on this team is shooting from 3 around him cause it is way less than what reddikk is shooting
I aint an LMA fan but Embiid can't carry the offensive load this year that LMA can...
Don't think Embiid is built for leading a team who's second best player is a 30 year old rudy gay coming off an achilles injury...at least not yet
Is Embiid playing with a starting point guard who hasn't made 12 3 pointers all year?
Cause LMA is...
Yeah, the Sixers starting PG has actually made 0 threes on the year. That same player getting triple doubles cannot shoot in the least bit and often leads to Embiid having to play as a floor stretcher.
Is Brett Brown the best coach ever?
Are the Sixers a team full of veterans? We saw what LMA thought of leading a team of young players in Portland, he left town.
Embiid is better, period.

Is Embiid going to be better than LMA...yeah as long as he stays healthy...
Better than LMA right now? This season?
It's a toss up...LMA at least was caring Portland to 1st and 2nd round exits... Embiid is caring philly to "we won 40 games this year" coli threads...
We will see whats up with Embiid when the playoffs start and coaches actually make adjustments and every single game the other team staff is primarily focused on him game after game after game...
Thats a way different brand of basketball than running up and down the floor having a ymca shootout with the bulls or nets every 4th thursday of the month...
Again...not the biggest LMA fan...but Utah basically tripled teamed him tonight and he still dropped 40 something and he really aint even work all that hard for it...
He had Gobert...pretty much THE defensive big in the nba right now...running over to guard kyle anderson cause he got tired of being the villian in LMA's "How to score all over the court" movie...
And
at "a team full of veterans"Pau...Patty...Mills..Green...all shooting below their career numbers...
So it's more like..."a team full of veterans collectively playing about as bad as they have in their careers"
Outside of LMA and Kawhi and maybe Rudy Gay...i can't really think of players I would rather have on the spurs than the 76ers other than Dejounte and I am such an irrational Dejounte stan you can actually find quotes of me calling him and Kawhi the next Jordan and Pippen...

How is it a toss up, Embiid is better in every statistical category except for turnovers per game. If this were a case of it being close I could understand, but he averages more ppg, rpg, bpg, apg while playing less minutes and being a better defensive anchor on top of all of that. That isn't a toss up, one is better this season than the other, and we don't even need to use the advanced stats which are heavily in Embiid's favor as well
The playoffs next month have nothing to do with who has played better to this point in the year, and if they did we'd be comparing LMA's first run (19.5ppg / 7.5rpg) to what will be Embiid's first run. And lets not act like LMA has lit the world on fire in the playoffs either, he had 1 great run and has been pretty much
outside of that one year. You can dismiss having vets, but the Sixers are a team being led by two guys under 25, while the Spurs have the best coach in history. The Sixers have played much better since adding two vets to their squad as well
Cavs should start Nance next to Love. He's the enegry, rebounding, hustle, big they need. He's way better than TT plus he can score.

He should be better in every category...cause he is playing bums other other night...or sometimes every night....for nights in a row...
A typical week for LMA is shyt like Draymond on a Monday...Towns on a Wednesday...Gobert on a Friday...AD on Monday...
Those are big's that are elite on one side of the ball...and in AD case both...
Didn't even mention Jokic...
Didn't even mention Cousins cause he hurt his year...
Didn't mention Deandre Jordan who is back to being a force on defense and the boards...
Didn't even mention Capella who is still limited but maybe the best in the nba at what his role is and is just as important to that team as Harden is...
A week for Embiid is
Embiid out here locking up with Vucci Mane on Monday and Quincy Acy on Wednesday
You constantly talking about how bad Thon Maker...but Embiid is getting him 3 or 4 times a year though right?
All that stuff adds up...when one guy is playing against bigs who are elite at something 3 and 4 times a year and one guy is playing against bigs who are elite at being 7 foot but not being able to grab 4 rebounds a game 3 or 4 times a year...
And vets who play bad are the worst type of players...cause they to old to bounce back...and this is something you and i both know you know...because if i am running the spurs and you are running the 76ers and I say "I will trade you Pau Gasol"...what player on the 76ers are you giving me? If I say "I will trade you Tony Parker" what player are you giving me? What player on the 76ers are you giving me for a 37 year old big man who got his spot took by Kyle Anderson...a player who just about refuses to shoot? What player are you giving me for a 35 year old point guard fresh off a ruptured quad who got his spot taken by a 21 year old shooting guard who can't shoot and is being shoe horned into a point guard simply because his size and length will...eventually, be a huge asset at that position?
One of the vets you got is Reddikk...doing JJ reddikk things like making over 40% of his 3's...but...what if he was like Danny Green and making 37% of his 3's and doing shyt like having more fouls than points in critical late season games...would you still want him?
I mean if you really want to get into it we can talk about how LMA is playing against teams who are actually playing hard...how the wolves with Towns and the Pelicans with AD and the Jazz with Gobert are going all out against him cause they trying to get a playoff spot...and Embiid is playing against Chicago and New York and the Nets and they just trying to lose as many games as possible...cause that stuff adds up to right...when one guy is playing against a team starving to make the playoffs 4 times a year and one guy is playing against a team "resting" lavine dunn and markennen" cause they starving for the number 3 pick 4 times a year...
You right LMA aint never really been a world beater in the playoffs...unless its Houston...but...I just looked up Embiid playoff stats and all it says in "N/A"
The difference this year between LMA and Embiid is that LMA has been giving AD and Draymond and Gobert that work again...and again...and again...and again...and Embiid has been giving Thon, and Quincy, and Markennen, and Portis that work again...and again...and again...and again...
You going to see the guys LMA sonning 3 and 4 times a year on some all nba teams...on some mvp ballots...on some DPOY list...on some all defensive teams...and I am going to see Quincy Acy on a list for what this year? I'm going to see Portis name on a list for what this year? going to See Ibaka and Val names on a list for what this year?

Countdown to Armageddon
Nah I don't see it. Cavs are a game and a half ahead of Philly. Their schedule isn't as easy as Philly's to end the season but it's not exactly tough either, including ending the year w what should be back to back easy wins against the Knicks. Cavs can go a modest 6-4 into the postseason, while Sixers cruise to 8-3 in their last 11, including the Sixers beating the Cavs in their last face-off, and Cavs will still keep the 3 because they hold the tiebreaker.
It's possible but not likely unless the Sixers really catch lightning in a bottle or the Cavs go on a losing streak.
I don't give a fukk about LMA vs Embiid but don't let me catch you nikkas putting Aldridge in the same sentence with AD again trying to gain clout off that name
LMA aint giving AD shyt but 16 points and 4 rebounds this year and you wanna talk about Aldridge sonning someone
Better stick with Draymond because AD on a whole other level
