Look at what his workload has been in past regular szns and playoffs… He now has 2 co-stars to do a lot of heavy lifting , & a 2 guard who can go off for 15-25 on any night (Oubre) & finally a backup big (Drummond) that can provide valuable minutes of defense & rebounding when Embiid is on the bench

They use the injured excuses for Embiid but slander Tatum while he plays through injuries. They say “Tatum gets carried” but say Embiid needs more help when he loses next to Jimmy Butler and James Harden. Tatum put 51 on him in a game 7 and not a PEEP from this dickrider network. Shits pathetic. Tatum has a ring and Embiid never will.

CP3 would rather go to San Antonio than team up with LeBron…😂 Bronny would rob CP3 of minutes. Then CP3’s former teammate happens to be his head coach. CP3 and JJ used to hate each other before becoming teammates. People easily forget how hated Redick was in college. I figure CP3 went to San Antonio for a few reasons… - Gets to play with Wemby - Gets to play under Pop - No state income taxes - Has a more meaningful role I thought CP3 should’ve returned to Phoenix. But since he spent years in Houston, he didn’t mind living in Texas again. I figure it’s his last year as he turns 40 next year in Year 20. He usually thrives as a mentor and not when other stars with big egos are around. One of his best seasons was his lone year in OKC mentoring Shai and other kids. Then his first season in Phoenix making the Finals. I don’t think the Atlantic division has the three best teams. NYC and Philly are still a bit unproven. Boston or Miami has won the East four of the last five years with the lone one by Milwaukee in 2021. NYC is extremely beatable and they did lose Hartenstein. While Philly has never made it passed the second round in two decades. From the free agency I’ve seen so far, Skip Bayless’ OKC looks like a dark horse and looks improved. Dallas and OKC improved but Denver and Minny didn’t. 1. Boston Celtics 2. Dallas Mavericks 3. Oklahoma City Thunder 4. Minnesota Timberwolves 5. Denver Nuggets 6. New York Knicks 7. Philadelphia 76ers Paul George is NOT a winner. Similar to Kawhi, Embiid is not always healthy. Nothing really changes for Philly. They’re just as cursed as the Clippers.

@@SPACEKNOCKERZ76 he’s the only MVP to never make the conference finals. He has repeatedly come up short in the biggest moments and it’s getting laughable at this point. He’s gonna be like David Robinson winning titles at the end of his career once Duncan was his teammate

I'm baffled by some of these analysts still sticking by the timberwolves. Ant can average 40 a game in the postseason but aslong as KAT continue shooting 3s and Gobert is a liability they'll never win.

lol Tatum has to win 10 titles before he will get recognition. Embiid just has to show up and he’s golden. Weird. Then worried about Luka’s attitude while Joel has been obnoxious his whole career.

How is Luka the 25 year old, that’s been to two conference finals and a finals appearance already under more pressure to win a title in a stacked west conference, then the 30 year old mvp who’s never gotten past the second round and the only guaranteed threat every year has been the Celtics, lmao how are these people qualified

Honestly I think Embid should not try to have an MVP season and just stay healthy. Let him sit on the bench sometimes let them win games to get into the playoffs and then Embid go crazy in the play offs. Get playoff MVP not regular season
