Process status: TRUSTED The 76ers are a decent team kind of, Joel Embiid just showed out on national TV, I heard MVP chants for T.J. McConnell and “trust the process” chants for Embiid, Ersan Ilyasova’s NBA-high streak of games with a made three ended (actually that one really sucks), TLC scored 12 again, I have…

Joel Embiid 23 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2017)
I can’t tell if it’s a good or bad thing that the Boston crowd was chanting “trust the process” as Joel Embiid was shooting free throws near the end of the first half. Maybe it’s neither. Maybe it’s a third option: “ironic”. Or a fourth option: “trying to piss of Jae Crowder even more”. In…

You know you have a fanbase in the palm of your hand when they start chanting “Trust the process” while you’re shooting free throws. At this point, Joel Embiid could kill a person and piss on the Liberty Bell and he would still be adored by every 76er fan out there. Seasons of losing does…

At what point in a dude/dude non-romantic friendship do butt-slaps enter into the picture? Whatever it is, it must be a hell of a lot earlier for NBA players. Because I’ve had dude friends I’ve known my whole life, and I never once thought “My dude just did something cool. I should forcefully SLAP his…

Joel Embiid is already beasting. That is a fact. He is beasting in the NBA right now, despite being clinically dead for the better part of two years. He is beasting with threes, he is beasting with funny social media escapades, and he’s beasting with the weight of an entire franchise on his back. It…

Check out Nerlens Noel at 1:32 of this video, right after Joel Embiid gets rejected by the rim on a wide open attempt. Laughing good-naturedly after Embiid’s “shush” gesture in a show of support for his temporarily embarrassed teammate, right? WRONG! That’s what Noel wants people to think. He wants people to think that, despite…

How long until Joel Embiid’s unfiltered social media behavior earns him scorn rather than praise? In a fair and just world, people would only care about his on-court exploits rather than all that TMZ bullcrap. But the world is unfair and unjust, and at some point people are going to think that posting “cooked his…

What do you think Joel Embiid is thinking about in the thumbnail? He looks quizzical, almost bewildered. Context: he had just canned a three that ended an 8-minute scoring drought for the 76ers. Seeing as I am an expert in sports psychology, I think I have a few ideas: -Shirley Temples -How he is holding…

What do you think it was that Joel Embiid said to Richard Jefferson after plowing him over that got him so riled up? Based on repeated watchings of the clip in question, it can’t have been something very long, a few words at most. Whatever it was, it must have been pretty offensive to Jefferson,…

Joel Embiid noticed his teammate Jahlil Okafor looking intently at something on his phone. He walked over and leaned over his fellow big-man’s shoulder. “Whatchu staring so hard at? You find those Melania Trump nudes? I was all over those two weeks ago.” Jahlil looked startled and moved to put his phone away. “Nothing. Not…
