Game 35: Jazz @ Sixers 1/6 @ 7:30 pm ET Thread

[Embiid P]

Hopefully we are able to put last night's debacle behind us. Embiid is likely a game-time decision but all indications are that he'll play.

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Game time decision and yet he forced his 30/10 stat line last night. THis is getting stupid.

But they said to me Embiid only cares about winning and about the team first, and that his stats and personal glory are secondary!

[Bum Adebayo]

I think Embiid will play depending on whether he feels capable of increasing his 30+ 10+ streak, it is the most important thing.

76ers please do not turn into a fan base that hates on Embiid and trolls him for chasing his individual greatness. He is a rare H.O.F talent so let him get his rocks off while we have him. He is no different than A.I who chased steals and scoring titles. Let him do him and be great and stop judging him every five secs cause I'm sure injuries he can't control all the time. Just be happy he's playing and producing at high level and realizing his potential that he was drafted for...

Jo out, lol that was idiotic. Cared about the MVP and his stat line so much that he played through an injury... Like come on man, aren't you over this at this point...

Just be smart and go get that chip. Nothing else matters at this point. You'll probably be more likely to win an MVP next year, if you get a chip this year.

Unbelievable...Starting to lose respect for this guy...

Eh, he would get those accolades regardless, if he were just more healthy.. Some of it is out of his control, but in these situations be smart. Sit out the rest of the game, and then play the next. He was so worried about that stupid 30/10 record and his averages dropping...

That's just dumb...He just came back from a twisted ankle, played 2 games and is out again...

[Phila Tough]

Tobias, Melton, Cov, and now Embiid out? this is an L'ski

There is no individual greatness without a ring, and he hasn't even gotten past the 2nd round. He should learn to care more about team basketball instead if he wants to be remembered as something more than a James Harden. It's not hate, we care about Sixers more than about Embiid, as we should, team over player always.

[NYSixersFan]

Embiid not playing after the stunt he pulled last night is not cool.

[Murray_17]

How can Bamba be that long and not get a **** rebound??

[Bum Adebayo]

I see Knicks playing very well on a back to back, whereas our little Embiid needs to rest, back to backs are too tough man I need dat rest.

[Jailblazers7]

Tough to defend Embiid when he’s stat chasing like that. This is exactly the type of situation where he should get roasted by the fanbase & will hopefully receive the message.

[Mik317]

lol yall are nuts

[Murray_17]

I doubt Springer is gonna see the floor after missing all those 3s, on the good side, he took them

[Murray_17]

I really despise Mo Bamba lol

This is the man who reportedly sometimes eats 5 Chick-Fil-A Sandwhiches and 10 orders of fries at a sitting we are talking about lol. I dont want to be too hard on Jo he is a great player but all the injuries and games missed and the poor performances in big games over the years and his bad body language and leadership qualities make it very easy to get mad at him fast. To not play tonight after his rotten performance against the Knicks and being in the game longer then he should for meaningless stat grubbing is not cool. Its a shame someone like Chris Paul never played here he would have no problems sharing some constructive criticism with Embiid.

Jo has cleaned up his diet big time. That chick fila stuff was from the first few years, during the Colangelo years...

[Mik317]

His knee is swollen lol

Taking him out of last game a minute or two earlier wouldn’t have changed that

The whole starting lineup was still in the game and right before he got fouled Reed was already about to come in

Yall are looking for reasons to be mad now

Again none of this matters until the playoffs

[eyeatoma]

lol yall are nuts

Ya know it's bad when I'm getting on him lol.. Even I can see that it's not a great look though man... I'd have hoped he would be over this once he won last year. Feel like his hot start got it in his head to 2 peat...
