"Tobias Harris came back with a bag full of napkins and straws" 😂
😭😭
😂😂😭😭😂😭🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂⚰️⚰️⚰️
as a sixers fan who doesn’t like perk, especially during that embiid mvp campaign where he used race as a sympathy card. i gotta say that was the funniest and best thing he ever said on air
This is legitimately the smartest thing I've ever heard Perk say
Lmao Fr his first good take
Nah that perk line was insane 😂😂 “he came back with sum napkins and straws”
bro came back with a bag of crumble cookies
Good riddance
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
😆
They need to check to see if he's betting on himself 🤔
ALL KENDRICK’S ARE SPITTING 🤣🤣
💯
😂
Smoking on top 5s
lmaooo
Yes
No way espn and first take is saying anything bad about embiid. When Tobias Harris scored 0 points.
He's not a star player
@@MrTimLee84he’s on a max contact and is constantly underperforming his contract
@@MrTimLee84 HE’S ON A MAX CONTRACT
Perkins cooked him
@@MrXK3NN3THx Embiid is the one that cried mvp and is never even gotten out of the second round. The only MVP that hasn't. Freethrow merchant , dirty player, crybaby, always some injury when the playoffs come
Put Perk in the Hall of Fame for that Chick-fil-A analogy. 🤣🤣🤣
Please do that man lmfaoooo
"Bag full of napkins and straws" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They gave up Jimmy Butler for Tobias smh
Tobias and Ben Simmon indeed. Still smh. And friendly reminder the one made this decision name Elton Brand is still the bloody GM of 76ers.
@@frankleungwolfbrand best years on the clippers yet he is not putting better pieces for Embiid to win a championship
Has nothing to do with Simmons. Yall hate dude, we get it. But the facts have come out straight from Jimmys mouth and are right on youtube. @@frankleungwolf
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂,king of the heat too bad😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jimmy butler wanted out regardless of Tobias, how do people not understand that? Go watch some interviews, there was far more going on, namely coaching and other organizational issues jimmy did not like.
I don't believe many people thought Sixers were getting past NY. But they went out SWINGING. This was a great series to watch.
What all those so called experts had Philly beating the Knicks
@@cenoworldwide7979no they didn’t with Embiid being injured and all. You’re not that simple dude come on. They knew sixers would not get swept and would fight but win with their unfortunate issues? No way
Well if the refs wasn't on the payroll the wuda foh
If Embiid was healthy they would’ve beaten them, but unfortunately he was really banged up. His rebounding wasn’t anywhere close to full capacity and that really hurt them neither was his defense or rim protection. He also couldn’t make shots for half the series that he almost always makes. Tobias also really hurt them in this series. If we had better pieces for his salary or a better piece they also wouldn’t have lost. That said Knicks didn’t have Randle either but they almost play better without him anyways 😂
@@pennytrue2741Philly fans say this same thing EVERY year lmao. At what point will yall just accept that Embiid will NEVER be 100% healthy come playoff time. Build around Maxey and add 3 and D shooters around him and Embiid this offseason.
Perk is spittin
Facts great take!!
All Kendrick’s are 🔥 this week!
are people really surprised about to harris’ performance? he does this every postseason lmao
nah.. for 5 years he's been garbage, he deserves to be called out but nobody should be surprised that he played like stir fry
But 0 pts 0 for 2 naw bruh and I'm a knicks fan
Showed up when hurt and played that’s all you can ask for good game
Same story with him every year though. He’s always hurt in the playoffs and he’s not getting any younger. Big men don’t last with so many injuries
How many years this is gonna happen tho…
Nah yall both right but atp you know what your getting with him so be it
" tRuSt ThE pRoCesS " 🤡🤡🤡
Are people going to just disregard that he was getting calls in his favor throughout the whole series with the refs handing him free throws like candy? Also getting away with intentionally injuring Mitchell Robinson as well as trying to injure other players?
Build around both…. They need defenders and shooters pace and space
Perk Neva disappoints 😂
He disappointed plenty when he was on the court.
@@KayBeenidk. got rich off it so there’s that
8:18 The way Stephen A said "39 million daaahlas" 😂
Tobias Harris is gone, that alone already makes this off season for us Philly fans feel better lol
Gotta bring back oubre and buddy heild they were clutch
Y’all buggin enbid has forever given his all for this franchise
And that's NO LIE!!
🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵
He's extremely talented but unfortunately not a leader.
So we gonna act like Embid didnt just win MVP last year, was on the way this year to win it back to back. Wild
As a fan, this year I'm not blaming Embiid. His effort is not in question. He was amazing in that game and exceeded expectations when you consider his health.
Maxey was not having a good game and he was too focused on getting calls, Nick Nurse had idiotic lineups out there in big time moments, Tobias Harris is not a threat and did absolutely nothing in 29min of play. The team in general is too focused on out-talenting other teams instead of having an actual offense with schemes and counters. The defense only ever peaks in desperation situations instead of staying tough and consistent throughout.
Should've never got rid of Matisse, we need to remove Tobias Harris from the team, sign more athletic players that can rebound and defend, and stop making so many excuses. Stop relying on the refs to win you the game
Exactly ! I’ve never seen a team cry so much about getting fouls called .. Joel almost breaks the guys nose on a play and the sixers had the nerve to challenge it. Lol.. I’m glad the knicks didn’t defend that last shot too close and just let that man brick
Yep Embiid magically avoids the blame game every year. Always an excuse for him. Tired of it.
How many points did Embiid score in the 4th quarter in this series? He is the problem, Embiid is is never in shape, and has 0 accountability
Jesus Christ, y'all act like LeBron fans whenever they make excuses and blame other people for their loss
Last year it was on him for his performance in a an elimination game. This year, considering the circumstances, you can’t blame him entirely. Could he have played better? Maybe. But he should not have to play for other people.
Maxey gets plenty of chances, they both can and have scored big. Both get shots in the clutch. They're building well with their two stars. Its like Jokic and Murray. Jokic is the core of what they do, but Jamal takes over games, takes the clutch shots, and shoots it the most. The two both being stars simultaneously is imperative. No backseat business.
You can’t even compare Jokic and Embiid anymore. Jokic just plays so much more efficiently it puts him on another level. Embiid crumbles when the game tightens up.
@@76ReasonsWhyyeah, Embiid is great for 3 quarters. You need your star player to not disappear in the 4th. Especially in the playoffs.
He wants Embiid in NY, that's why he's saying this.
Wrong, Smith. 76ers are going to keep Embiid, Maxey, and sign a third scorer jettisoning Harris.
Yep kick Harris to the curb and get someone like Middleton from the Bucks or close. They need a legit 18ppg third scorer.
That's what he said too.
Pay attention, kid.
Hope so Harris is just not cutting it!
Comprehension isn't your strong suit.
if I'm the Sixers, ill do whatever i can to get Paul George if he opts out
Perkins talkin bout Tobias got me dead lmfaoooo
Joel Embiid needs to work on his conditioning that’s his biggest deficiency
You do know he is coming back from major surgery and only had 5 games before the post season and he couldn't be rested right because of no decent backup center, right?
@@emmanuelefuwape988 good point. now explain all of the other years
@@emmanuelefuwape988could've given Mo Bamba more of a chance minutes-wise in this Series.
Paul Reed is NOT a 5. He's a 4.
I know positions were made for novices to follow the game, but then these positions were what Coaches built teams with. Positionless NBA or NOT, Reed is no Center.
That said, I agree with your point.
@PontFlair these coaches pick 6 to 7 players during playoffs and just neglect their bench. Not much coaching going on in the NBA these days.
@@jackielee401 You mean when they had doc at head coach like in 2019 when ben ain't shoot against the hawks or how about 2022 season in a elimination game against the celtics joel was injured and still was the only one doing something where was harden? But y'all wanna bring up joel right y'all blame that man for everything when he's never been surrounded with enough ever look at jokic has a bench and the whole starting lineup averaged above double digits even the bench but you blame joel when you got guys like harris dropping a donut lmaoo but yes blame the man who as a center was top 5 in the entire playoffs in ppg
This one of the best Perk takes I’ve ever heard
Perk is the king of analogies 💯😂🔥
nah, Unc is.. but Perk has some good ones every once in a while
@@DynastyIcon 😂😂 I get that 💯
Annual reminder that Emflop has never passed the 2nd round.
just like T-Mac!
let's not act like Brunson doesn't flop either
What player doesn’t flop?😂
The fact that Embid started out his career “trusting the process” that is now the culture of that franchise even with progress looking up. They do need to build around Maxey.
And you've never done anything of significance in your life. Leave the petty criticism to the experts.
Yea BIG PERK!! I didn’t hear a BREAKDOWN like that in a WHILE!!👍💪🏽💯
Perk talking that talk they need to give him his own show rt
Tobias Harris' usage rate went from 20 in the season to 11 in the post season, he literally had 50% fewer touches than he averaged in the regular season. Primary reasons? Fewer passes from his teamates, sure, real reason - OG Anunoby. Tobias Harris scored only 3 points all series while guarded by OG.
Best playoffs series for long time
I think that was the best line I’ve heard Big Perk say yo date “Came Back with a bag full of napkins and straws” 😭
This whole segment was full of foolishness
Perk with the analogies
Amazing Perk Take
It is asinine to suggest Maxey be the face of the franchise. He can't consistently create offense for himself or others in the half court. He needs to learn how to change speeds instead of always going 100 mph. His whole offense is shoot a 3 off a screen or go 100 mph at the basket, without seeing how the play is developing, often leading to a highly contested shot, or block. After blowing past his defender he should scan the court for soft spots to drift into and shoot middys or floaters.
Embiid tends to disappear at times. Part of it is the sixers don't run enough sets to get him the ball in his best spots, the mid and low block. This leads to him drifting away from the basket, where he can be guarded by smaller guys. An example of this is game 6 when Embiid had Josh Hart fronting him. Instead of running a set to feed him like Purdue does to Edey, they try to lob him the ball and Hart tips it.
The other part is Embiid not having the mentality to punish people on the block. When he does, he is dominant.
bro for her to to say is it time to move on from Joel is crazy talk tf
Neither of these females should be on the show. But SAS promotes his sisters.
You can’t trust embid not after last years 12 point performance in a finals and people can’t say every star can have a off night no if your a top 10 player in the league your not suppose to choke playoffs games that’s not suppose to happen your suppose to show up every game rather your team loses or not you can’t score 12 points
Embiid averaged like 30/10/3 on 54 fg% he was great
@@westernharo74822He did not shoot 54% he shot 44%, and in 4 of the 6 games he shot under 41%. His percentage is inflated by the 50 point game. He was far from great but go ahead and spew more misinformation.
@@westernharo74822he wasn’t great at all…
Their faces when SA talks about Tobias😂😂
Sixers can sign maxey to a $200 mil max contract, give embiid a $200 mil extension, AND STILL have $60 mil in cap space left !
Embiid literally had 1 leg that whole series lmaoo
Textbook definition of "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"😂
Napkins and straws is CRAZY
Oh my I agree with perk !!
Please talk about tobias harris
Kendrick Perkins with makeup on is hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ESPN wrong for that😂
Im glad you said something i was looking like cmon bruh😂😂

looking like norbit 😂

@@jfinch8328i thought I was the only one that noticed 😂😂
Mad respect for that young man!!!!
Perk been on a roll lately 😎💯
Lol he hates foreign players so much so it’s not a surprise he said that, everybody knows embiid is the whole franchise
He loves SGA and he’s foreign 😂
Embiid is too injury prone at this point in his career. Maxey is the future of the team and its very reminiscent of what Jerry West wanted to do with Shaq and Kobe.
@@BaithNamaxey didn’t help them maintain 3rd place as soon as Joel got injured they became a lottery team
@@BaithNabruh stop it when embiid got injured the team fell apart a maxey looked average. I like maxey but I don’t see franchise player in him. He is to one dimensional.
@@tito9560true atm he’s just an offensive heavy undersized 2 guard
Embiid did what he was supposed to do (injured). Maxey did his job. The rest of the team was supposed to be the difference makers. It’s that simple.
Before i saw this video, i was thinking it should be priority for each starting five from every team should hit double figures each game
That's right, Perk!
The Sixers are in one of the best positions of any franchise because they have a current MVP and a future super star as well as max cap space to pursue a star or get depth.
Embiid's health will continue to keep the Sixers a 2nd round team
We starting to overrate maxey he hasn't shown anything to show he can be a 1st option for a championship team they literally fell out the playoffs when maxey was the 1st option
@@RR-in7dothat's why they gotta focus on Maxey and maximize their cap flexibility. They may still have to move on from Embiid in a few years but the preparation for that begins now, with all of this cap space.
@@TjFreely2it's not his fault though, the role players didn't show up and Embiid was on one leg.
@@BaithNa I think they need to move on from embiid while he still has a decent amount of value. If they wait too long, he's just going to be a injured guy on a huge contract that no one will trade for.
Why tf the first thing they ask is move on from embiid 😂 suns got swept nobody said move on from booker or kd
Because they'll never win with embiid. Nobody cares how well he plays in the regular season. How many times do we need to see this?
@@Jmh6504 you are delusional
@@Jmh6504 can we take into account the the knee injury and the lack of success from the other guy on the teams who’s making the Max or we gone keep letting him chill
@@kingnephi1881 I think the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I believe you sir, are insane
@@mataeodurant that's part of the problem. He's always hurt. I don't care if you're Michael Jordan if you're always hurt come playoff time. He can't win, and will only get worse. As for Tobias Harris, absolutely a problem, get rid of him. Still embiid will not win a championship as the number 1
Yea I agree. Wait Perk was spittin hold on
Perk needs to be a PERMANENT fixture on espn basketball
Joel "I gotta be better" Embiid......
😂
I agree with Perks point of view on what’s good for Philly.
Believe it or not this a great take
Perk 😂😂😂 Napkins & straws
Perk was spitting. This season has been the final nail in the "Big Three Era" coffin. It just doesn't work anymore
Stephen A looks like max kellerman with that serious look bruh.
It hope for first take!! Agree with everyone on this panel!!😢
Kendrick was the only 1 on the panel that made any sense
Got an ad for jimmy butler as I clicked on this lol
Facts
Embiid is like Kawhi, truly one of the most talented 2 way players in the league.. but never healthy. Well atleast Kawhi has 2 rings.
Embiid aside from being constantly injured, just doesn't have the stamina to play in the post season. Dude plays in the early rounds like he's already gone through 4 straight game 7s
Big Perk Preaching!!!
Stephen A clearly didn’t see the plus/minus with Embiid off the court
They jus need a better backup big than Paul Reed
As a Knicks fan I can see Embid going to Orlando linking back up w/Markelle Fultz...😂
They praising Maxey like he went Crazy last night
The game plan was to stop him and let embiid go off. What are you talking about
I'm over here saying the same thing. They piicked a helluva time to say what they saying,
Facts 6-18 is crazy
@@andersonlebrun8370were you in the Knicks team huddle?
Do you not watch the NBA? Embiid has beaten teams, you can't just let him "go off". I swear people say anything.
No wonder people on UA-cam say "bot", bc they can't tell who's real or not anymore with these idiotic takes.
You acting like Knicks ain’t adjust to that game winner and doubled up on maxey.
Perk gonna end up on sidetalk next, he’s become the Governor of NY
Agree, we build around Maxey. We would have to get another superstar center imo. 1 : we get another center cuz of embiid durability. 2 : we get 2 great centers to rebound/score at will. An athletic 3 and D wing. A catch and shoot guard. Then our bench definitely needs some energy and competitiveness. They need to bring the momentum up in our favor. We need more than 20+ 8:30 pts from them please….
Moorey said genius quote everyone asking how to win with out embid moorey said are focus is win with him amen
Agreed
Perk Port Arthur Texas watching from PAT
Tobias Harris need to be traded
He`s a free agent, no trade needed. His salary is off the books
Tobias Harris didn't get a postgame interview? 😂😂
Perk is 100% on point... get high level role players we don't need one more star to detract from Embiid n Maxey... Bridges would be ideal he is also my preference if possible
8:25 lol at Chiney trying to be professional and hold in her laugh
Just beautiful
Tobias was on his Jontay Porter 💩😂
I can see in maxey face he's onna missions this off-season after what embiid said he took the blame
I feel for Joel disappointed and his 76ers eliminated by Knicks is a shock but I'm sure he will get back strong next season keep your head up bruh
Definitely gotta build around maxey but Tobias Harris being gone helps the team a lot
Maxey and Embiid are like Edwards and KAT. Embiid is very important, but injuries are there, so keep him(!) but let Maxey grow to be a leader, same what happened with Edwards and KAT this year. KAT accepted to be the number 2 player in the team when he is healthy and Edwards confidence grew to the point when he is the leader now!
Stephen A makes absolutely no sense because you can not say build around Maxey with Embiid still on that roster
Finally somebody said something about Tobias 💯 he did this last season in the playoffs 😩
Tyrese is already ranked higher in jersey sales (#9) than Joel Embiid (#12), and that was BEFORE this playoff run.......
Because Embiid been in the league for 10 years Maxey only 4 and only been good for 2
Who cares about jersey sales when maxey is terrible when embiid is off the floor
Exactly when embidd got hurt they went from 2 in league to almost not making the playoffs @TjFreely2
Maxey is still developing even now however most of the supporting cast is playing like crap 👎🏀💯🔥
It's about his number too. The number 0 is the most popular jersey number in sports! Gilbert/ Hibachi/ Agent 0 made it a cool number! 21 is an ok number but even early 2000s KG and TD never sole more jerseys than Gilbert, they were all with Adidas as well! The go-to number back then was either 1 or 3! Now the most popular number is 0! Has nothing to do with who the fans like more!
Sixers can trade Harris to top 1-3 nba rebounder, even if 0 score and 15 offensive rebounds that would make 6ers a big W factor. 😎🏀
What is actually the essence of this show
Joel Embiid is like Kawhi Leonard you can’t count on him to be healthy or raise up his level of play in the playoffs I feel bad for Tyrese Maxey he brought it this series
That process has came to an end ain’t no more trusting in it
Didn't Embiid already say that Maxey is the Franchise?
It was bad strategy from Philly..they should wait 4th quarter for Embiid to play iso but they did that in third
He was the only player to show heart and not complain after a loss.
I don’t like Perk lol but when he said Tobias came back with napkins and straws that was funny lol
Another Tyrese who's Talent is special 💯 👀 🏀 ❤ this kid is special w skills
As a Sixers fan Perk is spot on 🎯🎯🎯
Imagine if the 76ers kept jimmy Butler instead of Tobias Harris...
E the big piece Maxey time 🌪️ Embiid wise enough to maintain his pace!
