    I feel no sympathy for a man who throws himself at the ground on purpose and then complains about injuries. Maxey deserves better than this part timer.

    If a NBA player is injured every year then the NBA isn’t for you, Such as Joel and Kawhi, The Divas of the NBA.

      In what world is Embiid whose never seen a conference finals compared to Kawhi who has championships and finals MVPs in both conferences? Are you smoking dust?

    If a trainer told LeBron James that he shouldn’t play and LeBron James wanted to play…. LeBron James is going to play.
    If Joel Embiid really wanted to play … he would play
    But like he said at the beginning of the season, he’s not going to play back to back games
    This is no longer the NBA is the BMA …. The bare minimum association

    The REAL Street Clothes has missed a WHOPPING 43 more games than AD over the last 8 seasons

    Street Clothes Embiid makes AD look like an IRON MAN in comparison

    Let’s be honest I’d rather Kawhi than Joel embiid at least Kawhi a give u a chip ????????????

  22. @dejanlekic5513

    November 13, 2024 at 12:34 pm

    I think Philly should trade Maxey for Kawhi to complete the roster, maybe even get back Ben Simmons…

  23. @Cb_30

    November 13, 2024 at 12:36 pm

    Y cant they just play 20 mins in those back to backs. Come off the bench at each 5:00 minute mark.
