at least he doesn't come up with a convenient pre-game excuse before every single game that he can point to rather than taking the blame himself if he does play poorly.

I think Game 3 proved that a healthy Embiid needs no excuses, but I respect the fact that he needs to convince others by getting his shit together.
Having two prickly assholes, one of them possibly the greatest scorer of all time who would instantly become the best player to wear a Knick jersey, and the other one who would be the best PG in the team since Clyde, along with the most promising young center in the league, would be the best thing to happen to the Knicks in a quarter century.
Which is why it will never happen.

I didn't know the Knicks signed Jokic.
And yet barely 3 years older than "the most promising young center in the NBA". Jokic turned 24 this season.
Mitchell Robinson had a nice year on a historically bad team. But there are a bunch of good centers under the age of 25 who are a hell of a lot better than he is. Jokic is an MVP candidate. Nurkic is a stud. John Collins is the same age.

Mitch put up Tyson Chandler-in-his-prime numbers as a rookie that did not play college ball. Not many first or second year players that I would pick ahead of him at this point.
That he did it on a historically bad team is even more impressive.

He certainly got plenty of opportunities to block shots on that team.
He had a good year. The Knicks were historically bad. Let's not go nuts.

He also had some of the most incompetent point guards in the league setting him up for dunks, and still had an eFG% of 69.4.
Mitch Robinson, 2018-19 season: 69.4 eFG% ; 16.3 TRB%; 10% BLK%; .217 WS/48; 5.7 BPM, 2.7 VORP
Tyson Chandler, 2010-11 season: .65.4 eFG%; 19.7 TRB%; 3.4%BLK%; 218 WS/48; 2.2 BPM, 2.2 VORP

And he will make $5 million for the next 3 seasons combined.

Thomas Bryant had a 5.6 win share. He's the same age. I'm not writing his ticket to Springfield yet.

I don't want to overreact to one game but I think the only solution is to drive my shitty car into the Schuylkill River.

If the Sixers lose on Thursday I'm probably taking some time off from sports, so no I will not have Bryce.

How can you be so off-put by competitive teams lol... it’s not like you’re talking about the Flyers, which I could appreciate the anxiety and/or apathy.

My number one sport is basketball; in college that means rooting for Penn State, who lost their first 10 conference games this season. And I don't think you appreciate how insane the narrative about the Sixers is going to be in this town for months because of this. People are already at each other's throats about who to keep of the four key players. Butler's too old to invest in, Harris has disappeared when it mattered most, Simmons is more interested in fame than improving his game, and Embiid doesn't take care of himself. I'll need to tune it all out for a while.
No matter who we root for, we can all rejoice that the Lakers remain an absolute dumpster fire.
Except for GAF.

You have to wonder if Boston will still see Tatum as untouchable this summer. He's been pedestrian at best in the playoffs.
Also why is Aaron Rodgers always dressed like he shops for clothes at Target.

Fixed that for you.
I hope NO is smart enough to not take Tatum as a centerpiece for AD.

Yeah, I was watching and it looked pretty bad. I like Durant a lot more than I used to and obviously really hope it is just a calf strain.
I also want the Warriors to win this series. I don't have much love for this current Rockets squad.
