btw embiid does not rely on post ups

his playoff problems have been like having his face broken on purpose by a raptor

not addressing that slander, but it's mostly been the fact your backup centers have been ?????

point is, nba referees will not allow a team who’s best player is a post up center to win a championship

incredible. you can't own that you thought embiid was washed so now you allege a conspiracy. let's just ignore the fact that the 76ers have some of the best selling merch in the league, one of the biggest basketball markets in the league, and that embiid has always sold way more jerseys than kawhi leonard who won two titles. at least euph has his own funny way of slithering out of his bad takes but you double down in the most insane ways possible when you're wrong. maybe try harder to stick by your best player after he posts one of the best statlines in nba history

This Embiid guy sounds pretty good. Maybe the Sixers should build around him.

no, blow up the whole team and have three guards+myles turner instead. dump harden contract even though the 76ers already forfeited picks to get him. turn the team into the indiana pacers+maxey because embiid underperformed for the first 3 games of the season

Ahh yes, how dare one suggest the radical notion of... referees swallowing whistles in the playoffs. An offense built around FT attempts isn't winning a title. This isn't conspiracy. Even casual NBA fans know this. And what do merch sales have to do with anything?

Since you seem to be unable to discern funtimes goof-around posts from real deal posts, I don't expect the Sixers to trade Embiid. I am perfectly content with riding his career of first and second round exits while players intentionally injure him and NBA writers shift the expectations of what an MVP is to whatever he isn't in the current year. I'll keep watching the games and hoping that they are good and fun and roll with it, because what else is there to do.

I also just want to point out that you said

Which is total freak-brain nonsense. I'll try harder to appreciate the boxscore... very impressive numbers.

If you want to see some really impressive numbers you should watch the NYSE or maybe one of those computers that attempts to calculate the digits of pi. Those are numbers that are also deserving of your appreciation.

in the spirit of friendship I’ll admit to Yossarian that the Cavs and Nuggets are better than I gave them credit for. I don’t think Cleveland will be number 1 in the East but both should be playoff teams.

anyway in the spirit of friendship also i've gotta say my nets pick for #3 has looked pretty terrible. and even though i'm losing faith in the timberwolves i don't think picking them 6th was smart of me in hindsight. i thought they were at least a solid 48-50 win team

Azathoth

I think 6 feels about right for the Wolves, even still. They had a slow start last year too, with about 4he same record they have now. If they can either trade or get DLo playing well, they're gonna win a bunch of games on the back half of the season.

Yossarian-22
Oct 26, 2014

also i still sort of like my mvp pick for durant because if the nets can even finish top 6 in the east with all this drama and insanity, he deserves lots of credit for it
