The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[T0INE]

Zero accountability from Embiid.

Then tried to go the Giannis "steps" route with to gain sympathy.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Sometimes it’s best to just go the Dillon Brooks route and not make yourself available to the media at all post game and eat that fine over saying something foolish.

Nah we need these sound bites

 

[aepps20]

I'm glad he got his real championship with the MVP. Got damn these quotes

Insane thing to say after a combined 8-29 shooting effort.

By Joel Embid

 

[amitt5504]

The Sixers went into this game so confident too.

EYE went into the game confident lol should’ve kept leaning on Tobias and Maxey but Jim and Jo had to go iso mode

 

[spiderjericho]

If you’re the Rockets would you even want Harden back?

Why pay him the money he’s going to demand? Unless they’re tired of the process as well.

 

[Blue Mamba]

Basically throwing Tyrese Maxey under the bus is foul

 

[tay1]

Can Philly reprocess?

 

[WASHED KING]

Those the rules YALL made

Stand on your ****

EYE did not make the regular season rule. Every time I criticized Jokic that is what I was met with.

“Regular season award, he had the best regular season he’s MVP”

So I let y’all have it. Embiid had the better regular season so I don’t see the issue.

 

[QU!K]

NOT MY MVP

 

[IATT]

The Sixers went into this game so confident too.

were they??

I could see it maybe before game 6.. but game 7 on the road

 

[rolaholic]

Yea he misses playing with a Jimmy Bunyan in the worst way

 

[aepps20]

Sadly Doc will get another job, Jim will find another strip club and Embid will cry himself to another MVP.

 

[dman14]

Troell Embiid

Facts.

 

[amitt5504]

It’s like he wants to be that guy. Gets mad when he doesn’t get passed the ball

But when he has the ball, he lays an egg bigger than Zion but blames everyone else for ****ting the bed

If you’re the Rockets would you even want Harden back?

Let’s see:

1. Rockets owe okc their pick next season.
2. Rockets have been the worst team in basketball the last 3 years.
3. Harden fills the biggest hole on Houston’s roster (still an elite playmaker) and he was a top ~20 REGULAR SEASON player

Rockets don’t have the luxury of worrying/caring about playoff meltdowns when the goal is to first get to the play-in/playoffs.

Can Philly reprocess?

we should... Embiid's value will never be higher and we're stuck in purgatory as long as he's our best player

 

[Mister Meaner]

James won’t have to worry about those Playoff Harden jokes anymore back in HTine.

easy answer yes - especially if we get Wemby. I just don't want to him pay the max or a long contract. That's my only thing but would welcome him back with open arms. Our floor is immediately raised and the young guys would develop tremendously. Just have to hope they don't pick up bad habits - that's what Ime should be there for (lol)

So what did you exactly criticize Jokic for if it wasn't for playoff failures???

YALL literally made the rule to bring up playoff failures when people corrected it. So now yall want the vibe to be different

Keep the same energy Based on how you like to criticize

 

[aepps20]

Embid was letting an old man and Marcus Smart lock him up. Biggest dude out there taking fade aways and threes
