 Not a big fan of the way the 76ers core has handled themselves not only in these playoffs but the last couple  years as well. Embiid and Simmons seem like a couple of spoiled players that were gifted with talents that put them in prominent positions they never had to work up the ladder to obtain.

The "Your a nobody" comment directed at Jared Dudley could rub some players the wrong way. Personally dont think Dudley is a great player and gotta say Im kinda shocked/impressed he is even still in the league, but he is a starter on an NBA Playoff team thats had some competitive matches with the 76ers. If Dudley is a nobody whats that make the other 80% of the league?

Alot of the antics and comments by this team just seem shortsighted and thoughtless. They have defenitely put a huge target on their backs for opposing teams and the media and when they get swept by the Raptors, Bucks or Celtics they are gonna look pretty dumb with nothing left to say.

it’s actually going to be very competitive with the Raps if Embiid is healthy. No way I see a sweep.

 Personally I think people are sorta blowing this all of porportion, I’ve seen enough people complain about how today’s NBA is too soft, and that they miss the good ol days, well it looks like its trending back in that direction, with the physicality and smack talk, and as long no on gets any sort of injury, why is it a bad thing?

Not meaning you specifically Canada, but I’ve seen a few people flip flop on this. I don’t really have a dog in this fight, my post is more so directed at people who are appauled at this, yet claim they want the playoffs to be chippy

Yeah I got nothing wrong with the flagrant fouls Embiids throwing around. He’s completely in the right to play as physical as he feels. But to call a roleplayer a nobody just doesnt seem smart.

Dudley called Ben Simmons an average player. I think Embiid’s comments had as much to do with that as with Dudley going 80’s goon on Embiid.

Embiid was right… Dudley is a NOBODY!!!!!

 Then what are any of us? lol

Ok let me rephrase that. Dudley is fringe role player on a over achieving team that barely made the playoffs in the east. He is not in Simmons or Embiids class. Similar to Deshaun Stevenson and Lebron. Dudley is just another warm body compared to Simmons and Embiid. They are literally worth more. 

Then what are any of us? Man that’s weak! You trying to say it’s impossible to be somebody compared to an NBA player. Must be hard to think of yourself like that.

I think they are prima donas, specially simmons, I know he is unselfish but the way he carry himself, the way he talks about his opponents. I’ve read some article or probably watch something that an insider in 76ers told I think Skip or Cowherd not sure exactly about simmons wanting to not bend his knees when shooting freethrows, 76ers trainers cannot get him to bend his knees because he simply dont want to, and Elton brand told the owner to trade simmons but the gm refused to since the owner thinks simmons is better than embiid. And about these two, yes they are the franchise cornerstone of this franchise but what they did prove? all star? social media trollers? full of potential players? Yes they are full of potential and the fact that they haven’t reach their potential and act this way, wow,. 

Embiid: You’re a nobody

 

Dudley: Talk to me if your knees and body hold up after twelve years in the NBA

 

lol
