Lineups are trash. NBA still trying their damnedest to be global I guess. Go back to rookies vs sophomores 

You'd rather see the Kris Dunn/ Dragan Bender show?

 

[tyevvyotcu]

i would rather see dejounte than simmons too

 

[wavycrocket]

Not really. I love Embiid, but the minutes thing is a valid reason if we're going by merit instead of entertainment like he said he's doing. There are 18 guys in the league who've played literally twice as many minutes.

Who the **** cares? Embiid is putting up the most points per minute since Wilt Chamberlain on top of having the highest defensive efficiency rating in the league and having a team that was possibly the worst of all time last year be able to compete with any team in the league and possibly give them a legitimate shot at even making the playoffs this year.

We're talking about Paul ******* Millsap making it over him when he averages 2 less points and the same number of rebounds in 10 more minutes per game than Joel plays. What kind of dumb *** take is that?

LMAO 

Dude straight pulled out the Mokenstef!

90's R&B was amazing. 

I want to drop about 15 songs but....I'm going to restrain....hell nah, I have to get in at least 1.

Bro his team has 15 wins & he's playing an extremely limited role. I know ya'll been in the Caves for years and any sparkle of hope is good, but calm the hell down Embiid isn't an All Star caliber player yet. why does nobody ever want to let players build into what they're gonna be.

Dudes are demanding he be an AS because of hypothetical numbers and him "improving" his team to a pace that would still have them top of the lottery bound. slow down

 

[ill steelo]

If your team only has 15 wins, 20/8 isn't good enough to get an AS nod. Sorry.

Buddy....Embiid is one of the best players in the entire league RIGHT NOW. He deserves to be in the ASG. This isn't just some Linsanity year that some random player is giving our team hope. He is historically good...right now at this very second.

Why y'all acting like Bhris and Ty$ ain't dropping classic weekly [emoji]129300[/emoji]

I just want to see Embiid hit up Riri. That will make him the social media GOAT.

There's nothing extraordinary about 20/8.

You gonna talk about what he does on a per minute basis & completely ignore why his mins are limited in the first place

Idk where you're getting this from, but it's way, way off.

28 points per 36 minutes is really good, but not even close to the highest since Wilt.

on top of having the highest defensive efficiency rating in the league

Idk what "defensive efficiency rating" is or where that's coming from either, but please don't tell me you think he's as good on defense right now as Draymond/Gobert.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Might as well make Jabari an all star if Embiid is

 

[bballkid11]

No Lavine in dunk contest.

Injuries. SMH

 

[Moheezy]

Dunk contest not Byke?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Would have no issue with embiid being an all star

His skill certainly proves it and doing what he does in more limited minutes only makes it more impressive

 

[nick.]

No Lavine in dunk contest.

Injuries. SMH

At least Aaron Gordon is doing it

Lebby don't want Melo...damn

 

[squatchnt]

Embid is not an all star that is all. He has played the best 30 games in the history of the NBA though, free Joel

 

[nick.]

Why would Cleveland want Melo?

 

[a-friend]

Why would Cleveland want Melo?

Especially if they have to let go of Love

bbb but Melo said he ain't leaving that's why no ones entertaining them bs talks.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Has Kay even been given a chance to be a backup PG?

 

[Moheezy]

Love > Melo in 2017. Especially in Cleveland.
