Is the Nba trying to make Joel Embiid the face of the league???

[AWSbruh]

You can’t sneeze on him anymore wtf

[Droopdx]

Hate watching him play. BRB post people up that you have have 4 inches and 75 pounds on then flop

[SmashinYoungVag]

Dude is annoying af. Him and Simmons. They both talk way too much for guys with 0 accomplishments

[Slamt]

There's not a single play where he touches the ball and doesn't get double teamed.

Every. Single. Possession.

People bitch about his FT's but then look around, there's nobody in the league that can guard this version of Embiid 1on1 without fouling him.

Half his shots are inefficient turn around midrange shots. This won’t win a championship especially when games are called tighter in the playoffs

Embiid leads the league in post ups per game by a wide margin.

He's shooting at peak Kevin Durant, one of the greatest mid range shooters ever, levels from the mid-range this season.

His 3pt% has gone down since he got hurt and had to wear a brace but is still hovering around 38%.

The fact that he can do those Kobe/Dirk/Hakeem style moves and actually make them is just incredible.

There is nothing that's inefficient about Embiid this year.

And he only uses most of those turn-around shots when he is getting double-teamed and is spinning away from them. Which brings me back to my point, he gets doubled team literally every single possession in the half court set.

Great for him but you won’t win a championship shooting turn around midrange jumpshots especially when they will call less fouls in the playoffs. Also he is garbage defending the pick and role goldenstate exposed him on switches all night. Don’t forget if he is shooting 50 percent from two or those midrange Js. That’s like shooting 33 percent from three. I would trade threes for twos any day lol

OP, you really say some dumb **** sometimes

Embiid is leading the league in PER right now

He's doubled every play, of course he's going to get fouled. He's almost unguardable 1v1 right now

I'm not saying the 6ers are gonna win but they have a great team right now when healthy and they could definitely take the Nets out

Embiid deserves MVP IMO

"Garbage at defending the pick and role"

This is how I know you're retarded and don't even watch the Sixers before this ESPN game broadcast or watch basketball in general.

I'm sure the Sixers are the 2nd ranked defensive team in the whole NBA because their defensive anchor is terrible at defending pick and rolls and can't switch, oh wait....., it's the opposite and he's one of the best defenders in the NBA period....

And he didn't even get destroyed in the pick and roll yesterday they just ****ing set screens out on the 3 point line and Doc had Seth Curry our smallest and worst defender chasing Steph Curry around all game for god knows what reason. This game isn't on Embiid, he almost put up a 30pt triple double while double teamed every play, lol.

Embidd was the main reason why curry went off last night in the 4th https://youtu.be/FrCcSVMCLDc 50 seconds. That is how Embidd guarded curry pick and role in the 4th quarter
Gobert wins defensive player of the year every year and leads the Jazz to the number 1 defense and he gets exposed in the pick and role in the playoffs. He was basically unplayable vs the Rockets lmao. Ebmidd was playing drop zone d vs curry in the pick and roll basically giving him wide open threes.

[sooby]

embiid is a monster out there

- he has post moves like Hakeem
- power game in the post
- turn around mid-range + overall mid-range game
- good 3pt shot
- elite free throw shooter

In the past he would run into big men/defenses that could slow him down in the playoffs and somewhat choke. But I think he's improved this year and really no team in the East will be able to stop him from getting his. If they get to the finals and face the lakers could be different though, who knows.

50 seconds wasn't even a pick and roll you retard.

Draymond the "roll man" never even went towards the basket. That's just a screen...

Imagine trying to talk about basketball when you don't even know what a simple PnR is....

Whether Embiid goes out to hedge or plays drop coverage vs screens is up to our defensive assistant, Dan Burke, not him, and it varies from game to game. Last night it seemed like they tried to focus on Curry's teammate and let him go off, and obviously that didn't work.

If you think Embiid should be able to go out there and chase Curry around and stop him from shooting 3's then you're a bigger ****ing retard than I thought.

OP gettn destroyed, stay safe

why are you linking me to an article in 2018 again? it's 2021.... there's nobody's that's even left from that coaching staff this season.

you don't even know what a pick and roll is, why are you talking about pick and roll defense.

just stop posting and save yourself from further embarrassment, my guy.

I lost respect for Simmons when I found out he banged that tranny

It’s okay. You’re a bias philly fan. Enjoy your lost to the nets when Harden,Durant and Kyrie expose his drop coverage pick and roll defense lmaoooo. The way he guarded curry last night coming of those screens was laughable. Dude was just walking into open threes

[Slamt]

This is what's wrong with the NBA these days.

All these casuals just watch Steph Curry shoot 3's and then go online and pretend they know what they're talking about.

....Then doubling down after exposing himself not even knowing what a pick and roll is.

refer back to this:

If you think Embiid should be able to go out there and chase Curry around and stop him from shooting 3's then you're a bigger ****ing retard than I thought.

Giannis Is an example on how you play pick and role defense. Tell your boy to watch him Draymond and looney
