Jokic, I misspelled it. I'm definitely not questioning his conditioning or even throwing off on him. I like Jokic. I just don't get why Embiid gets so much hate. The first semblance of a loss and people show up to hate on Embiid while comparing how crappy he is vrs how awesome Jokic is.
I mean it's pretty simple, not hate, but reality, Embiid is not built for playoff atmosphere on offense, part of his game relies on drawing fouls and he is not particularly good against double teams. Jokic is the opposite of that.
It's not hate to point out the years of evidence of him coming up short when it matters, at this point this is who he is until he proves otherwise, it's on him to prove us wrong.
But of course, it's easier to say "hate" or "trolling".
"Trolling" occurs when someone posts something for no purpose other than to arouse an emotional response in other people. One can easily be pissed off about how this team appears to be anchored in a second-round playoff exit every year by virtue of its lack of character, driven primarily by Embiid (and previously Simmons and Harden, other players without championship character), post that, and have it simply be self expression that has nothing to do with arousing anybody else's feelings.
In other words, don't flatter yourself. Not everybody here is posting things with YOU and your feelings in mind. I couldn't care less about what feelings are aroused in everybody else by my posts here -- I'm going to respectfully post what I believe about the team, and if you're unable to insulate yourself against it in some way that causes you distress, well then there is an ignore function here that works quite well. Likewise I'll give you the freedom to respectfully post whatever you believe, and I won't make you try to "own" whatever it might do to my feelings.
Oh I totally agree. That's why both you and Bum are on ignore. I was signed out and that's the only reason I saw both of your responses. Yeah totally...Back on ignore the both of you go. I guess there's a win after all.
