“In New York, it’s a troublesome crew to play,” mentioned O’Neal. “However this was the worry I had for Joel Embiid. You announce arrogantly, I’m not taking part in back-to-backs, Ernie. I’m not injured however I’m sore. I’ll come again once I wish to come again. “Now, if you say issues like that, you’re supposed to return again with additional power. 0-3, I’d have been 0-15. However you already know what y’all would have mentioned. ‘Hey, Shaq’s not taking part in nicely, however he’s taking part in aggressive.’ The plan that they’re having, it’s not working. And never solely that, I say this respectfully. Joel Embiid will never win a championship until he gets his mind and his attitude right.” -via Awful Announcing / November 13, 2024
