Xmantt 215 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 From possible first rounder to maybe i should sell high on him. Few big men options though, only Kat and Cousins comes to mind. Gobert and whiteside injured, jokic is not what im looking for my build. No on davis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sya 744 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think brent brown is partially to blame for this. you play the guy 39 mins which is a career high, and then next game you decide to play him 49 mins because it went to triple OT, and they lost that game too which is double black eye for them. I think Brent brown should have sat him down during the 3rd OT, embiid was gassed out too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And isn't the regime/crew the same too? - Nationally televised game versus a hyped competitor (last year was Rockets IIRC, this year OKC). - Embiid plays more minutes than he should - Ends up missing a bunch of games afterward You are correct on the timing. I am blending different threads where people are talking about different Sixers and how they are being handled. At the end of the day, the current regime has a totally different approach on minutes/playing time as compared to Hinkie. Literally any hint of injury and the Hinkie Sixers would sit the player (Nerlens, Jahlil, etc.) Compare that to how the Sixers handled Fultz and Embiid so far and the difference is pretty obvious. The Sixers are in a weird spot. They aren't good enough to really compete for the playoffs unless they are at full strength. I think it would be a success if they stayed in the race for the 8 seed all season and felt what it was like to compete in meaningful games over the last month or two of the season. The big jump in competitiveness will come after an offseason of development from Simmons and Fultz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Brent brown should have sat him down during the 3rd OT, embiid was gassed out too Yeah, while he is obviously a difference maker, I would be hesitant to play him more than 30 minutes a game as a general minutes cap. I know fantasy owners might not agree but, if I were a fantasy owner, I would prefer he be limited to 30 minutes and play 65 to 70 games instead of having the team run him into the ground and have him constantly missing multiple games. He has already missed 8 games out of 31. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chud12 4,076 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Joel Embiid - C - 76ersJoel Embiid (back) is questionable for Monday's game vs. the Knicks. He played 23 minutes on Saturday, but he cooled off after a nice start to the game. Embiid did not practice on Sunday and received treatment on his back instead. Expect the 76ers to make a decision on his status after he warms up. If he's out, Amir Johnson and Richaun Holmes will likely split the center minutes, but Holmes would be the better play in fantasy . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
