Joel Embiid could be back tonight against the Chicago Bulls here you go Kai Carlin Joel Embiid is here at shoot around this morning so Joelle is there at shooter round, and it was it was it was thought by a lot of us that he would probably be back
Today it was thought that they would probably hold him out for the rest of that road trip just because with that turned ankle so we’ll see if he goes tonight but I personally would expect Joel and B to be playing tonight against the Chicago Bulls and man we need our lick back cuz
I’m starting up first of all the Sixers play the Chicago Bulls 73 times in an 82 Game season I’m getting damn sick and tired of the Chicago Bulls okay and when we play without Joel and we’re on a traveling backtack and we shoot 20% from the field we lose to the Chicago Bulls and then I got to hear all the same narratives on the internet until the
Next game, which we have to smack the Chicago Bulls tonight Joel Embiid has to play and we got to beat the Chicago Bulls by 37 That’s what has to happen to to get everybody back into get everybody back on the page that’s what we need to do
Joelle she’ll be back tonight and you know we’ll see what happens but I’m expecting I’m expecting the Sixers to take their frustrations out on the Bulls after that last uh after that last beat down that we took the Night Before Christmas the night before New Year’s Eve and just for the record
I just want to say this one more time I keep getting these we’re not good enough we still can’t win without Joel’s Embiid comments and and tweets and things I don’t understand why Sixers fans are still so hellbent on winning without Joel embi I don’t understand where that comes from that you have to win without Joel em beid
Somebody tell me why tell me why in the comments why do you have to win without Joel Embiid why do you have to prove to anybody that you can win without Joel Embiid why does Tyrese Maxi have to prove that he can drop 40 without Joel Embiid even though he did it two nights two games ago?
Why it doesn’t matter you are not winning anything without Joel and if you get into a playoff series and you don’t have Joel Embiid you’re losing there’s no backup center is going to save you and you’re going to win a playoff series Without
Joel Embiid it’s just the way that it is you’re not winning anything without Joel Embiid so winning with or without him in the regular season is just it just doesn’t matter that much that’s that’s
How I see it and actually this is from Keith Pompei as expected Joel Embiid will play tomorrow night against the Chicago Bulls which is Tonight I missed this one from Keith he comes this comes after the Sixers center missed the last four games with the spray and right ankle
So Keith Pompe reports that Joel Embiid in fact will play tonight against the Chicago Bulls and Sixers guard DeAnthony Melton will not play against the Chicago Bulls tomorrow which is tonight with Lumber spine soreness that’s a new one for me Lumber spine soreness
I don’t know how that happened I don’t know where that came from with Anthony Melton but we will be playing the Chicago Bulls with Joel Embiid without DeAnthony Melton it’ll be interesting to see who Nick Nurse goes within the starting lineup uh in place of DeAnthony Melton the combination of Tyrese Maxi and Patrick Beverly is interesting
and every time I see that lineup together it makes me kind of think or want to see Tyrese Maxi alongside probably a better uh facilitating point guard combo guard like a Malcolm Broget type of player again at the trade deadline that’s one of the names people keep throwing out there but I like Patrick Beverly
And Tyrese Maxi together in the starting lineup the only thing there is that there has to be some strategic staggering because those are the only two point guards on the team.
Now that Jaden Springer doesn’t get any minutes I don’t think he’s a point guard anyway I don’t know if the Sixers are better or worse without Anthony Melton I can’t really figure that out because Anthony Melton does some good things but there’s definitely some things that he does that’s like head-scratching
And you know when he’s in a starting lineup is kind of like that’s not your job so take a step back and give the ball back to Maxi you know what I mean
We’ll see what they look like without Anthony Melton if he starts Patrick Beverly it’s it’ll be interesting to see the Staggering and how he does the lineups to try to have a point guard on the floor at all times
Hopefully, he doesn’t end up with some kind of Doc Rivers all-bench lineup and you know uh furcon Cork’s running the offense I don’t know we’ll see but that’s the update that’s
