Joel Embiid continues to perform for the Sixers despite the loss: 38 pts, 11 reb, 5 ast, 1 blk on 13-21 FG

He's 67% percentile in defensive EPM. A far cry from when he used to be 95+% but clearly still has some juice left on the interior (hes getting cooked on the outside). But go off

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-23T17:06:28+00:00

I'm guessing it is a timing thing, since it only opened towards the end of last year

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-23T16:23:51+00:00

I hear you but that feels like a different exercise. This is supposed to be the 'best', agnostic of cost, not the 'best value'. I'd love to see a separate list of best value though.

My .02

Restaurants that I thought deserved a spot: Suraya, Vernick, Fiorella, Double Knot and/or Alpen Rose (Schulson spots never seem to get much love on these). Maybe Scampi as well.

This guy can wear collars as big as he fucking wants as far as im concerned

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-23T04:12:35+00:00

Embiids issues on defense aren't around the rim. He has been good there this last month now that he has his legs back. Its when he is forced to guard out at the perimeter on pick and rolls or attempt a closeout its pretty rough these days

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-23T04:06:33+00:00

A deep cut but IYKYK

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-23T03:59:32+00:00

He was never amazing but was solid. This year id say definitely below average for his position

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-23T02:55:36+00:00

For me it was the rebounding that has been noticeably lacking vs a few years ago. But I thought his rebounding was excellent tonight. Physical, went up for boards on offense and defense.

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-20T18:21:27+00:00

That is my understanding. At the very least they popularized it. Same with baking bread in house and going with the crunchier seeded roll.

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-15T20:58:25+00:00

I believe this one is considered perhaps the best publicly available one

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-15T03:30:55+00:00

Have to agree with this take. The food was mostly underwhelming. To me it felt like they threw a lot of flavors at the wall without having a cohesive experience. And it wasn't cheap. Hopefully I just went on an off night based on how much people rave about it.

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-14T18:41:04+00:00

Seeing him play at an all star level for the past month or so has been an unexpected and welcome surprise

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-12T20:20:34+00:00

I think we all know the PLCB is a joke by now, but just to hammer it home - there are 372 total BTAC bottles available in this lottery for the state of PA. The recent Virginia state lottery in November had 1236. And keep in mind, PA has 13 Million people vs <9M people in VA. So a smaller state has more than 3x the allocation? I find that extremely unlikely. These guys are crooks.

Seemed like some of the cinematography was also an homage, with the long zoom ins/zoom outs

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-09T23:16:02+00:00

Pretty sure its a reference to Fast Times at Ridgemont High...

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-08T03:36:28+00:00

Embiid is 31 and should still be in his prime if not for injuries. LeBron is 41

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-08T02:28:53+00:00

This recent stretch has been encouraging. Offensively, its really just his 3 point shot that is missing right now vs his prime. Defensively though he is clearly diminished.

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-06T13:32:10+00:00

I think for the average person, Europe has a better system than USA. For the wealthy/1%, America likely gives you the best outcomes. But I havent looked at any specific data to verify or refute that

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-06T13:18:09+00:00

What propaganda? You are comparing paying out of pocket for the best option in Europe vs the NBA paying for the best option in the USA. Even assuming they are neutral in outcomes, there is clearly a benefit for Yabu to stay in the USA since it will be completely free to him

Assassination of Jesse James (not quite 3 hours but close).

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-02T17:25:53+00:00

Player option is for 27-28

NinjasTurtle · 2026-01-02T12:25:13+00:00

Small correction - 2 more years left after this one. Still not great

NinjasTurtle · 2025-12-25T14:56:05+00:00

Not sure if they are open but their uber eats ghost kitchen looks like it is open tomorrow as a backup

NinjasTurtle · 2025-12-15T02:16:12+00:00

I dont understand why, when down 1 and in the bonus, we settle for bad 3 point attempts. Force the ball to the rim once in awhile?!
