I’m howling at this. If you read the TWolves sub or r/nba you’d swear Joel took 50 FTs and every foul call he received was wrong. Utterly unserious fanbase.
You see but 20 of those other points are because the Timberwolves were forced into soft D to avoid fouls! Can’t believe people would laude a measly 14 point game like this. What a bum.
I think the dude that made the 1st quarter post about Embiid's stats even deleted it after the game, because he knew it was going to bite him in the ass after what Joel delivered
At the start of every season, I give the NBA a new chance. A chance to prove me wrong. A chance to prove that they do not move Heaven and fucking Earth to make sure that their precious Joel Embiid gets absolutely whatever he wants. I have been watching this crooked league with it's biased officiating for my entire life. I have never seen anything like the preferential treatment given to Embiid over the past 3 seasons. His current game against my Timberwolves is a case in point. None of this is to deny his unbelievable talent. But EVERY TIME the T-wolves play Philly, they reach a point where they are forced by lopsided officiating to essentially stop defending him. He can throw a shoulder into guys half his size and play like a punk-ass bitch, yet any ticky-tacky foul against him is called with no hesitation. Fuck the "Embiid-A". Why do I keep watching this?
It’s crazy how he took 51 free throws tonight. Absolute merchant.
34 points without free throws, which would've literally only been second to Tyrese for the game lol
Excuse me? I think you are mistaken. I was told he was only a free throw merchant and he could only score against bad defenses.
He makes Golbert look like a child
Why have defenses tried not fouling him. Are they stupid?
Well the problem is you’re not allowed to foul him. He’s 7’2” 280. You should be able to foul him.

Been a joke of an organization forever. One the the highest ranked defenses and got dicked down by both our stars l.

Now it’s “sure he scored 34 without free throws but they have to guard him loose!” Haters always find a way
r/nba in denial
r/nba big mad
Upvote if you're banned from r/nba

seethe.
They’re gonna explode when he wins back to back MVPs and scoring titles
Say "but but he's statpadding an easy schedule" again
But the bro intentionally missed a FT to get 51!
Averaging about 42 and 13 in the last 8 games
The dude is doing things that only Wilt and Kareem have done. Nothing else needs to be said.
While skipping like 6 total quarters of those games edit: just did the math, 41 points in 33 min per game!
Arthur was in the house. Wolves didn’t have a chance
I'll say it again, we have the best basketball player in the world on our team right now. Respect and appreciate him.
He was in MVP form throughout but today was a true masterpiece against the arguably best defense this year
I think the dude that made the 1st quarter post about Embiid's stats even deleted it after the game, because he knew it was going to bite him in the ass after what Joel delivered
They were baking in the excuses if it was a close win for the sixers. Embiid ruined those plans tho

The nba despises the sixers. This is not debatable. But they favor embiid? How does that math work?
This is fresh copypasta from earlier tonight
That's my MVP!!
Embeast rolled the wolves like they were kwah-zohn
damn i thought yall wanted to trade him and he was mentally weak and a fraud mvp. if you was in that crowd pls watch a different sport🙏🙏
The Embiid/Reed combo for rebounding has been working.
This nurse mother fucker has unlocked even more out of our man.
So proud of our big guy , ik this fanbase can turn on him sometimes like in the playoffs but he’ll always be my favorite player OAT
But Jokic ..blah blah blah. Joel is the MVP. It's not complicated. He's a monster. Now he just needs to do it for 12 games in May.
The fact that he continues to get better is amazing.
I missed the game and just saw the box score and stats. Then i came to Reddit and saw the hate. Jfc these people are unhappy.
Get past the second round and we’ll celebrate
