[Joel Embiid] says Jayson Tatum has a super team: “If I go 5-20, we get blown out.”

  1. PG and Embiid are a match made in heaven. Always deflecting blame and passing the buck. Surely it will all work out for them together.

  2. Ok I came with some receipts, here are some of Embiid’s games just from the last 2 regular seasons

    * [7/25 in a 5 point win](https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202302230PHI.html)
    * [6/17 in a 19 point win](https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202212310OKC.html)
    * [6/16 in an 11 point win](https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202302050NYK.html)
    * [8/22 in a 15 point win](https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202311020PHI.html)

  3. i mean he’s not wrong but it doesn’t help that he actually does go 5/20 in playoff games and continuously underperforms in the playoffs

  4. the celtics 5th starter is currently starting for team USA, and the only person in their starting lineup not representing their national team is the guy who won finals MVP so yeah i mean that’s a super team

    EDIT: i meant that as a compliment, i’m really not sure why there are so many boston fans trying to argue otherwise. your team went 64-18 in the regular season and then 16-3 in the playoffs. your starting center misses most of the playoffs and it just didn’t even matter. sorry your players don’t have more individual accolades but you’re a super team idk

  5. We know he’s not wrong because he shoots 5-20 in the playoffs every year and the 76ers lose as a result

  6. I find the superteam conversation quite confusing, are you a superteam simply because the teams fits really well and it clicks or is it about talent on paper ?

    For example are next years thunder team a superteam if J dub/ Chet becomes a 22 ish ppg scorer

    Also can you be classed as a superteam if your squad underachieves ? – you’re still a talented group but just didn’t work well

  7. Superstars take note. Jokic, Embiid, and Luka would all have 5 rings by now if they just joined the Celtics

    You want to win? There’s one place to go.

  8. I mean I get what he’s saying but he was losing to Brad Steven’s coached teams back when Hayward and Irving were both hurt that one playoff series lol.

    I will never forget what he said on the Sixers/Celtics rivalry back like 5-6 years ago either.

    “This is not a rivalry… they always kick our ass”

  9. He is not wrong but this is such loser talk lol

    Embiid and PG match made in heaven as far as losers go

  10. I mean yeah that’s your excuse for last year what about the 5-6 years before? Tatum literally beat embiid in the playoffs his rookie year when tatums best player was horford or a hobbled brown coming of a hammmy pull against the bucks.

  11. Did we have a super team when we beat him with terry rozier, rookie Tatum, and Aaron baynes starting?
