Sixers Forum / Re: Joel Has Now Missed More Games Than He Has Played...
« on: Today at 05:57:31 am »i already said it didnt matter to you guys but you still decided to septuple down on the hateWe also play OKC today... You can count that as a loss... The Magic play the Pacers and Raptors at the Jazz... And lets be honest here... All we do is beat tanking teams... We got a sprinkle of wins over playoff teams... Another thing, you do realize that Joel is tied for the 2nd highest contract in the entire league... So if the #2 paid player is not available, clearly that is a problem... The cap space that he takes only allows us to have GLeague help... And just maybe we are not .5 games out if he played more games...
my point was that outsiders and now even some sixers fans will do anything to tear him down even if it isnt real. Microcosm of his career, that went viral and was on ESPN. I dont care about the percents they were wrong and didnt fact check and just ran with it.
he started at a 200 game deficit and beat that. No comment on that... just negativity...
Its okay to be negative, this team has put us all through hell. But to do it so constantly is poison. We are .5 out of the 5th seed and Detroit just lost Cade. Very real possibility with guys coming back that we play Cleveland and then if we win a tight series we get Detroit without Cade. Dream a little. This has been a weird season in an era of weird seasons. No team in the east is a world beater except the Celtics.
The point of sports is to have fun and to dream big. Right now things are looking okay, its not the time to melt down over Joel every single day.
Trust me when I say this, nobody has to tear down Joel Embiid... His body has done that for an entire decade... And some fans are exhausted of his 50/50 mentality... Call him out by saying GROUND HOGS DAY, you know at some point it's coming... And it does... Every freaking year... The last 3 years again, 33, 19, and 39 games... And here we sit 11 more games remaining in the season with zero idea if we are in or a play-in team... His unavailability is why we sit in this position... And cap wise you can only do so much around his asinine contract... In no way do I feel sorry for Joel... He has brought the majority of it on his own...
