you're showing me one game out of 3 because you know he's averaging 16 points and 4 rebounds across 3 games
he's -1.2 against New Orleans
AD is +18 against San Antonio while averaging 25 and 13

He left with an injury one of the games. We'll see what happens on the 11th.you're showing me one game out of 3 because you know he's averaging 16 points and 4 rebounds across 3 games

something akin to 16 and 4 and getting dominated by AD most likelyHe left with an injury one of the games. We'll see what happens on the 11th.
Assuming he'll be able to playsomething akin to 16 and 4 and getting dominated by AD most likely
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO EMBIID VS AD
STATS GO OUT THE WINDOW.
They don't go out the window, you just fail to point out that Davis plays more minutes and isn't in the same class defensively, not to mention Davis was thoroughly sonned when they played
Also, @duckbutta and I are discussing post players, not soft faceup fours who can't score in the post
This isn't adding up beloved, the Sixers have a bigger droppoff when Embiid goes to the bench than the Spurs have when LMA goes to the bench. I wonder how they're able to tread water with LMA off the floor
Jokic is one of the worst defensive bigs in the league
I'm confused, you just named a lot of guys Embiid has bodied or his team has beat because of him, I mean he's averaging 31/16 on the season vs the Clippers, not sure what naming Jordan is supposed to mean
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...
The worst defensive teams in the league are in the West, so playing the Suns, Kings, Wolves and Nuggets doesn't add up? These are teams that are 25, 26, 29, 30 in defense and two of them you actually name dropped earlier. No conjecture, no name dropping, don't try to bury me under a wall of text that really isn't saying anything. There's not much you've said that is backed up by anything, are you talking offense or defense because Embiid has been better on both sides of the ball, also you can try and knock playing against the Raptors but they are a top 5 defense and Lamarcus Aldridge is shooting 32% against them on the season and had a 6-25 game vs Jonas and Ibaka
Please explain why the Spurs are better with LMA off the floor than the Sixers are without Embiid. I mean, if all these guys are bums why don't the Spurs fall apart whenever LMA goes to the bench, because Embiid this season has been the difference between the Sixers being a playoff team and a lottery team. You refuse to mentioning coaching in your posts, does Popovich not count for anything? Would you trade Pop for Brett Brown?
You have mentioned absolutely nothing about coaching, the fact remains the Sixers are a young team, you can talk about all their players, but their entire offense is built around Embiid. They wouldn't be nearly as good with LMA in place, he's not the rim protector that Joel is, and he's not the passer he is either, matter of fact when LMA gets the ball there's a good chance that shyt ain't coming back out. You talking about Redikk like the Sixers don't run a ton of dribble hand off rub screens with him and Embiid freeing him up.
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 Sixers beat the Wolves, they play again today, Embiid outplayed KAT in their first matchup, he hasn't played Gobert this year because Rudy was out both games and Joel was out 1 of them, the last time they played he fouled Rudy out in 20 minutes. He outplayed Davis a lot worse than LMA has done, so what are you really saying All of these names with absolutely no fact checking other than LMA playing some of them 1 more time.Is Embiid not being in the playoffs supposed to be a slight?
You're just name dropping and not even backing up anything you're saying, literally just empty conjecture. How are you going to talk about Davis when Joel Embiid ate Davis with 24/16 in only 24 minutes, and I love how you're just using Davis name without even letting people know how LMA actually is doing in those matchups - 16.3ppg 4.7rpg. That is the reality of the name dropping, you keep naming Davis and LMA's giving up 25/13 to him while Embiid sonned him to the point they had to move Davis off him and guard him with Mirotic and Okafor because Davis couldn't check him, also he shut Davis down on the other end which LMA hasn't done.
We not about to prop up a player who failed Tim Duncan, not over Tim Duncan's pupil. We not about to prop up a player your 26 year old superstar doesn't seem to like playing with and is willing to miss the season to avoid sharing court time with. At least Embiid can function with another star and isn't a diva, only reason why LMA is playing so well is because Kawhi is out so he doesn't have to share the ball, we know what he'd do if Kawhi were there because we saw it happen with Roy and Lillard, he gets in his feelings and gives up. He cannot function with another star.

IT out for the next 2 games with a stiff hip. The Lakers were actually making serious run for the final playoff spot a couple of weeks ago, but injuries and the losses will probably prevent that from happening.

Homie out there skinny fat and just don’t give af looking for the next wine and cheese buffetI’m watching the Jazz-Spurs replay.
Pau should just retire already
He looks like he doesn’t even care anymore
Wiz should be prayed no to be the 7th seed. They’ll struggle cause Stevens is a better coach but you have a better chance of beating them then the Cavs.
