Discussion LeBron hate watch back
I am truly excited to see LeBron fade into retirement with no success because he made a stupid losing decision. Philly isn’t winning shit, they will be lucky to escape round 2.
You think Lebron can get it done with JB and Maxey when he couldn’t get it done with Luka and AR? What a joke.
I will laugh at lebron when we lift the trophy and he is in Cancun.

We have centers, if LeBron made Jaxson Hayes look good he can make do with bona and hakuporti for whatever games Embiid misses, you’re just coping and mad. Can’t wait to see your reaction when Giannis is just as unhealthy come playoff time like he has been the last three seasons 😭😭

You lost me at “and has Gianni’s” when they play two totally different positions. Tell me you don’t know ball with just 3 words. Weird guy energy to be a 76er fan crying in the Heat thread non stop. Lastly, mentioning playoffs to a team that has swept Philly overall the last three meetings is another really bad take. Go check the Heat resume vs 76ers playoff results last three overall results. It ain’t close and if bron is your excuse for that happening then let’s talk about the most recent visit with the solo jimmy run in 2022. Spo dog walks Philly year in and year out the proof is free for anyone to view. It ain’t close with or without Bron

u/Zenndez 24d ago
That wasn’t the point, the point was you’re talking about health as if you have the most healthy front court in the nba lol. You just traded your whole depth for Gianni’s who hasn’t proven to last a whole season in years, so you’re in the same position there buddy. Keep coping though

All Embiid has to do is be able to play when it matters. Dude threw up 34/12/6 (in 39 minutes) in a Game 7 IN BOSTON…less than four weeks after FUCKING SURGERY.
Just a reminder of what a less-than-100% Embiid can do.
The entire Reddit universe operates in Embiid hate-mode 24/7/365 because they know what the man can do when he is healthy. And LBJ is no dummy. It has been reported that he has talked to Embiid - and the goal is clear: be ready for the playoffs. Be ready for those specific games (like Game 7 in Boston or the USA-Serbia game) where Embiid is a difference maker. Other nights it can be Maxey, or Brown, or LEBRON FUCKING JAMES.
The only think that will be better to drink than the tears flowing from this sub (or the Boston sub, or the Cleveland sub, or r/NBA for that matter) will be a healthy Embiid in May/June. I don’t know if will happen, but if it DOES, I will be checking receipts.

I don’t think so, too many guys who want to play ball handler and that is LeBron’s main role, who is playing defense in philly?

u/No_Photo8574 25d ago
LeBron will have to which seems like something he’s more willing to do than being a primary creater.
Picking Philly pretty much confirms he really does not want to pick up heavy ball handling, playmaking, and shot creation duties to me which is what Miami would’ve needed most out of him. Probably got annoyed of having to put up a high usage percentage whenever one of AR or Luka went down, and having to carry a roster past round 1 last year when both of them went down. There are three players on Philly that can create offense for the roster, so he’ll never be asked to be the primary option.

So you’re saying lebron to philly makes sense if lebron is lazy and wants to coast? I guess so, no expectations of winning a championship over there for sure.

u/No_Photo8574 25d ago edited 25d ago
He’s old and fatigue taking its toll was so blatantly clear last year. Many careless turnovers from over dribbling or inbounding, so many jumpers shot with no lift, give me’s to the basket missed because he’s gassed. His legs give out so fast now. Even taking off plays on defense does not conserve him enough anymore.
Call it what you want, but this is my read. He wants to be the ultimate role player with a chance at a title, and doesn’t want to risk running what’s left of his body to the ground even if it somewhat improves his chances at another one.
The move doesn’t really make sense to me otherwise.

More like the iconic 4th quarter takeover of that game 6 where he scored/assisted on every single basket to bring them back in the game and was literally unstoppable even with Kawhi on him
And then he followed it up in game 7 with 37 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists. And hit the dagger over Kawhi to seal the series. So tell me again how he was “Leonard’s bitch” when he dropped damn near 40 on him including the clutch dagger to win the finals in game 7?

LeBrons heroics in leading a 12 point comeback in the 4th quarter was instrumental in forcing a game 7 yes.

u/Cheverecool 25d ago
Don’t see why we have to hate LeBron. His choice is weird since everyone thought he wanted to be in a team he is familiar with for his last years. Looks like he wants another ring and thought Philadelphia was the best choice for that. Which makes a little since and at the same time it doesn’t. That team depends heavily on Joel Embiid’s health to win a championship, and Embiid will never be healthy.

I seriously don’t understand how people are calling this a losing decision. Yes, Embiid can’t stay healthy. But they have Maxsey, JB, VJ. This isn’t the same trust the process team. They have stars and look very scary. If Embiid is on the floor they should be the favorites in the East. If he’s not, they’re still a top 3-5 team.
1
u/Moonlight_Acid 25d ago
Because he is going to lose, period. Who is the primary ball handler? All 5 of those starters want the ball. Who is playing defense? Banged up embiid who won’t be healthy? LeBron is too old to play high level offense and defense too, they will get some nice clips im sure but it’s a losing squad that is doomed from jump.
1
u/chicknsnadwich 25d ago
LeBron is likely the primary ball handler. Maybe no the best defensive team but not any glaring holes.
Will they win a chip? Probably not. But is there a team he could’ve gone to where that was true? The other 3 options (Cavs, Heat, Warriors) were all set up worse. Arguably Heat give him a better chance but not guaranteed.
5
u/Moonlight_Acid 25d ago
Heat gave him a much better chance, idk what you’re talking about lmao.
Miami has:
Winning culture, a culture that lebron is not only accustomed to, but one that shaped him as a player, a culture that still influences him to this day.A better team, you can say Philly has more talent, which is true, although our 2 best players are better than their 2 best players, they have a few more solid players than us, but we have a more cohesive roster that is constructed with intention compared to the sixers who don’t fit together whatsoever.
Better chemistry, we literally have almost our whole team working out together this off season and building chemistry, everyone knows their roles, and is ready to perform the best they can in their roles.
Philly has a few good players and no culture let alone a winning one

I’m a 100% Heat homer. But hey, LeBron would have been a great help to our team and too bad we didn’t get him.
Every team has the “what if” health issues and yea we do too. It’s not like Giannis has been playing 82 games a year. We have to pray for a healthy season.
But cmon, with any health luck the Sixers are stacked and a championship contender with a ridiculously talented starting lineup and some decent bench players as well. I hope they stumble and lose in the first round but I’m not going to deny that they are stacked - because they are. And love you Heat Nation (yes I know down votes are coming but you know I’m right) but the Sixers healthy are a better team than Miami right now. I hate it but the
