    Retire Embiid, I’m tired of this s**t already. Jeez!!!

    There is a lot to this IMO, when was this appendicitis diagnosed, it should have been done while performing the other injuries procedures when he was out! Iโ€™m not a 6er, but Iโ€™m tired of Joel being in for injury reasons. That being said, my prayers to him for a speedy recovery

    Iโ€™ll always remember how dirty and childish he played against us & purposely pulled Mitchs leg after a long hiatus. So i dont feel bad whatsoever

    Can you imagine being so stupid that you pay Joel Imbiid a guaranteed contract to play basketball?

  10. @joelnelson5324

    He , Kawhi and Anthony Davis should retire at this point

    He should retire and take AD with him

    Embiid sold his soul for that MVP trophy that the sports media robbed Jokic of

    This big guy is out of his mind..Rockets will win 53 games, one more than last years 52, this is without Fred and Adams out. He actually doesn’t know what he is saying. Nuggets without Murray were swept by Suns. Jokic, everyone calls him the best player.. What did he do? It’s team basketball. KD is not Superman. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Funny guy.. take any top teams and remove the center and PG. will they be same? Dumb take

    Brooklyn looks good without Durant. Phoenix went to the finals without Durant. Houston was well on its way to be contenders without Durant. DURANT is a cancer.

    Can we stop this notion that embiids injuries have all been bad luck fluke injuries??
    Thats bs. The guy has been very heavy for someone that tall. And he always flops around on the floor. Im sure he had doctors and trainers tell him to drop weight. He never did

    Perfect timing from Embiid๐Ÿ˜ญsame ol situation everytime this time of year

    This dude Embiid canโ€™t catch a break

  21. @Eat_My_Shortz

    This dude is so dumb it drives me nuts. Our starting pg got injured. Steven Adams is out who stepped up huge for us last year in the post season. Donavon Mitchell? More like James Harden you dummy. James Harden has a label of being the biggest playoff choker of all time aside from maybe Chris Paul. Like man why is this dude on tv?

    Who cares

  23. @zaxon09

    April 10, 2026 at 10:03 pm

    Embiid / AD just retire and get out the way ๐Ÿ˜‚.. shoutout to Greg Oden!

    It looks like the process making Nick sick. ๐Ÿ˜‚
