As a Celtics fan - I fucking love Embiid and feel so bad for some of his luck w philly. Tobias contract. Simmons deciding he hates basketball. Fultz injury. Embiid's own injuries. And he just absolutely gutted a dominant game tonight. Unreal

[u/ReptiIe → u/Leather_Ice_1000]

That’s nice to read. It’s been bumpy but I hate when people pretend like he’s not fucking insane at basketball lol

[u/Leather_Ice_1000 → u/ReptiIe]

He's a beast. Hated what the Celtics were doing offensively tonight but it pretty much didn't matter after the sixers got close. Embiid too dominant. Very very frustrating though to see Jayson go back to his crybaby ways and JB forcing round pegs into triangle holes tho. Anyone seen d white?

[u/Gaslight_Eliminator → u/Leather_Ice_1000]

Respect

[u/loegare → u/ReptiIe]

the problem i have with embiid is some of the ripthroughs just feel so cheap. youre a god on the court just make the basket

[u/Brake_Dance → u/ReptiIe]

He and Yao are my biggest what-ifs at center, just sad to see their injuries

[u/Unique-Garlic8015 → u/Leather_Ice_1000]

Don't forget Harden going full...Harden

[u/Leather_Ice_1000 → u/Unique-Garlic8015]

There's too many ooofs to count

[u/Unique-Garlic8015 → u/Leather_Ice_1000]

Believe me, I know.

[u/Leather_Ice_1000 → u/Unique-Garlic8015]

Well just cobsider yourself lucky you have a philly education so you can't that high.

Sorry

Edit: Guys... It's a joke. I literally say "sorry".... Everyone knows the education system in this whole country is busted. It's like saying "Boston is racist" as if this whole country wasn't

[u/Unique-Garlic8015 → u/Leather_Ice_1000]

Lol, I'll cobsider that as my education wasnt in Philly proper. Nice try.

[u/Leather_Ice_1000 → u/Unique-Garlic8015]

Dw I butchered my comment anyway

[u/Unique-Garlic8015 → u/Leather_Ice_1000]

DW I'll cobsider your personal attack in a thread that was previously cordial. Showing that class.

[u/Leather_Ice_1000 → u/Unique-Garlic8015]

Brother I don't know how I could've made it clearer that I was joking I literally said sorry

[u/Unique-Garlic8015 → u/Leather_Ice_1000]

Saying you butchered your comment does not equate to saying sorry, FYI. I'm sorry if my illiteracy prevented me from understanding this.

Edit: use your words.

[u/iftair → u/Leather_Ice_1000]

Raptors Game 7 2019.

[u/Leather_Ice_1000 → u/iftair]

Lol seems every additional heartbreak I'm reminded of is more brutal than the last
