October 18Oct 18 Embiid is pretty near a triple double in just 19 minutes.Id love to see if such a strategy would work all year. Limit him to 20 minutes a night and see if you can get that kind of maximal effort out of him. We dont need him to score 40+ a night with Maxey, McCain, and Grimes scoring, and playing fast.

October 18Oct 18 I heard they were planning to play Bona and Embiid together with Embiid being the stretch 4. They played Embiid a lot around the perimeter and it worked really well, even if it was against a bunch of 3rd string guys. It's a good way to keep Embiid healthy avoding the constant clash of bodies in the paint on the offensive side and defensively he cam still do his thing. It was great to see him out on the court and looking pretty healthy

October 18Oct 18 @HazletonEagle after Jared Butler had that amazing performance, he was waived by the Suns.
October 18Oct 18 6ers break out this strategy every couple of years and act like its some new idea thats going to keep him healthy.So the max Embiid will play is already down to 66 games. And thats IF healthy. Which wont be the case. Seems like a good O/U would be set at about 41Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is healthy and ready to play entering the regular season. That's a status the Sixers hope to keep all year. One of the ways Philadelphia is hoping to keep Embiid on the floor is by holding him out of one end of back-to-back games this season.The 76ers are scheduled to play 16 back-to-back games. That would mean Embiid would be limited to playing no more than 66 games, assuming he's healthy for the remainder of the schedule.
October 20Oct 20 My concern with Joel besides the obvious is that he will stall ball movement. Nurse is preaching a quick, flowing offense with a lot of ball movement and cutting. Joel is still pretty slow reacting to double/triple teams. His natural reaction is to dribble out of it or try to create space himself with the ball. That usually results in him turning it over or taking a really bad shot. That is fine if he gets the ball with like 5 seconds left of on the shot clock but usually when he gets the ball at the elbow, there is nothing quick about his decision making.
October 20Oct 20 Author at this point, jojo is a midrange jump shooter & a turnstile on defense. he’ll get cooked by 4’s if that’s their plan.
October 20Oct 20 The good news, since hes not going to play many games is that the offense is no longer designed to go through him in the post on every possession.So the running, and ball movement will flow even while he is not playing and it wont feel like some huge adjustment when he is hurt, not with the team.We know Joel can't play the run and gun style. But it does seem as though the team has moved on in its philosophy, leaving Joel behind even though they're stuck with him a few more years.I see no downside. Its much worse if they just continued playing how they've always played with him. And being so reliant on him, and not knowing how to adjust without him.
October 20Oct 20 I saw a quote and I dont know if it was AI generated fake news or real. If its real, I dont know if it was facetious or not.But Embiid supposedly said, people dont even think I'm a top 100 player in this league anymore, so I guess I just have to find out where I fit in to help the team win.Its probably fake, or sarcastic. But, its the honest to God truth. Thats exactly what they need from him. And that's pretty much how they used him last game, and it looked great.
October 22Oct 22 The blog apparently accepted a Cowboys fan and are defending him. I guess I'm done hanging out there. The world has become a bad place.

Sometimes we have to make odd choices because the person is worthy.That guy has been in the blog since last season. He has never trolled, and has never taken offense to the way we have made fun of that franchise. Hes a good guy. He doesnt even hate me yet so he is obviously very smart.
