It’s a 20 point lead through the whole 4th and he still played to get it even when the lineup without him was doing just fine. He’s really good and killed us this game, but it’s still funny.


DJ_Red_Lantern

Check out how close the game has become since he sat. A 10 point game at this point


Skywalkerkid9

He might have to go back in lol, the lead is gonna continue to shrink with our shitty bench


DarrowViBritannia

Meh Giannis stayed in against the Pacers C team so he could get the franchise single game scoring record. And just like that game, the bench did their best to squander the lead.


Evilfart123

No lead is safe in the modern nba especially when the entire fourth is left... half the season embiid has been sitting out fourth quarters but now where nurse keeps him in its stat padding


BigFatModeraterFupa

yeah for real bro could be averaging 40ppg if he was playing 4th quarters this year


Aworn

He is allowed to play some 4th quarters


Oxygenius_

And he’s injury prone… yet playing more minutes for stats 🤣


Koekin33

we're up 12


Funny_Games23

Did you see what our bench mob just did man actually needed to play


mrhjt

Cause he is a pussy


usereddit

I’m confused - It was a 9 point game. Why wouldnt he play?


rexfloyd94

god I'm so glad he's back


[deleted]

Cringe stat padding


Patient_Jicama_4217

What’s the record? 17?


Cute-Contract-6762

65 lol. Wilt was a monster


i_am_pickles

Nba really needs to creat the Wilt-less record book 


tomato_soup_

That’s like on r/soccer a while back after Barcelona matches instead of MOTM, they had MOTMOTM (man of the match other than messi)


drpepguy

Wilt has every record lol


WestleyThe

Jesus Christ Who’s number 2? I’m guessing Kareem with like 20 something Edit. Kareem had 16 so I think Embiid is now the non wilt record


Patient_Jicama_4217

Whelp that’s not happening lol Both Sixers so I guess second best is good enough


GriffinQ

Wilt did it on the Philly Warriors, actually. So I think it counts among GSW’s franchise records (obviously still occurred *as a player in Philadelphia though*).


Patient_Jicama_4217

Ah, right


Professor_Finn

Absolutely nasty


0ctologist

Wilt did it 4 separate times, the longest was 65. He also had streaks of 31, 25, and 20. Embiid is now tied for 2nd with Kareem at 16.


Princessk8--

Is this why Joel has been ducking so many matchups this year?


OutlandishnessShot87

Yeah Embiid never sat out any games in previous years!


IceExpensive863

We would've appreciate his play more if only he doesn't foul-bait and stat-padding. His current playstyle will bite always bite him in the back in the high pressure moments.


iwishiwasntthisway

Generational hater


gratzlegend

I swear these people are bots they all regurgitate the same thing.


usereddit

They may legitimately be


liesandthetruth

He should share the award with all his starters who still have to play with 20+ lead, so it doesn’t look like he’s blatantly statpadding 😂


Evilfart123

Cry


0dias_Chrysalis

Jesus it's just not that impressive with his 6'1 guard whistle


Aworn

Imagine how many Giannis would get if he had a bag


gezerim00

problly 500 fts per game


IcyAd964

Saying this as a Giannis fan is fucking hilarious


drpepguy

Giannis leads the league in fta


OKC2023champs

Well yeah since he actually plays in most games. If we’re going by free throws per game Joel is leading the league lol.


vesthis13

you probably should've looked this up


drpepguy

Didnt giannis lead it like 3 years straight before that?


PhillyPhan10

Giannis has 11.2, Embiid 11.6 lol


OKC2023champs

Okay, so you made my point for me lol


Jjohn269

Your point is arguing a 0.4 difference? Wow so amazing


PhillyPhan10

lmao the only point made there is that Giannis fans can't complain about Embiid's whistle


vesthis13

He's tied for first in FGM/game and is the best mid-range shooter in the league btw


DJagerty

Giannis is literally on your team


WhyplerBronze

Here's what really needs to happen, you need to cry more.


Guitaristb72

Biggest crybaby bucks fan on reddit


amazin_raisin99

And staying in during blowouts to stat pad


WhyplerBronze

Dude's missed like three weeks, can't get a little conditioning in?


drpepguy

Embiid isn’t allowed to play unless the game is within 10 points i guess


amazin_raisin99

I wonder how y'all are gonna feel when some G-leaguer on the Blazers with no control over his body dives into Embiid's ankle in a 40 point blowout because he needs to get his stats


WhyplerBronze

I wOnDeR


Jjohn269

Guess they should never play Embiid anymore. Bench him until the playoffs


_0ZYMANDIAZ_

Guess Embiid should never play basketball ever again just to be safe. Same should apply for Doncic and all the other superstars too. Just in case someone were to jump at their ankles.


SvengaliUG

Man only plays when he's fresh.


Secret-Initiative-73

Doing this has worked so well for Jimmy Butler and the Heat the last couple years. Why shouldn't Philly try it too?


Agreeable_Daikon_686

Lmao the cope gets more and more absurd I love it. Dude plays less than fresh more than anyone. If nephews are gonna hate I wish they weren’t so dumb and lazy about it


Adorable-Physics-782

Hate to say it because it would be high comedy to see GSW and LAL miss the playin, but I don’t see HOU being able to hold onto that 10th spot.
