It’s literally pointless. Positive Embiid threads are virtually just Sixers fans. Embiid nearly put up a 30 minute triple double continuing to make history and our trio put up 30 points each.
Yet the top Sixers post by a good 2000 upvotes is hating on Embiid and the comments are ridiculously vitriolic. Not to mention the fact that the OP edited 2 plays 8 minutes apart to make it look like it’s 2 back to back plays.
If your intention with this season is to enjoy Joel play, there’s literally no reason to follow for it.

Discussions about vintage NBA (loosely defined as pre-2000). Learn, share, debate.
1949: There were seven (yes, 7) NBA games on Christmas day during the league's very first season. The NBA had 17 teams that year, so 82% of them were playing that day. The most interesting game was a bizarre comeback victory by the Waterloo Hawks who were down 84-72 with only 58 seconds remaining in regulation before winning 97-93 in OT. Here's 's explanation of what happened with a few italicized add-ons by me:
"It was one of the first great examples of intentional fouling working in a comeback effort. Waterloo was down by 12 points with 58 seconds left in regulation and was able to abuse a rule that existed at the time that every non-shooting foul in the last couple minutes resulted in a one free throw followed by a jump ball between the fouler and foulee. (Indianapolis Olympian 6-ft-7 superstar Alex) Groza was already fouled out by that point, so Waterloo's Harry Boykoff (6-ft-10) had at least a solid half foot on every single Olympians player left, meaning having him and Dick Mehen (6-ft-5) foul Indianapolis players every play for that last minute was basically a cheat code."
The first Xmas day games for the two leagues that merged to form the NBA happened in 1938 for the NBL and in 1947 for the BAA.
1979: The Bullets were the East's best team in the late-70s and the Sixers were the East's best team in the early-80s, so this game was a perfect "changing of the guard" moment as Philly won a tight one 95-92.
1984: Bernard King exploded for a 60-point outburst against the Nets, the biggest scoring day in Xmas history.
1985: Rookie Patrick Ewing had his coming out party with 32 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Knicks back from a 25-point deficit to beat the heavily favored Celtics in double-OT.
1986: Patrick Ewing hit an amazing buzzer beater against the Bulls to give the Knicks an 86-85 win.
1994: Scottie Pippen made a buzzer-beating block of Charles Smith's 3-point attempt to secure the Chicago victory over NY in OT. Pippen actually made two game-saving blocks in the final 3 seconds of OT to ensure the win.
1995: Penny Hardaway nailed a game-winning driving jumper that hit the rim and backboard 5 times before dropping with 3.1 seconds left to beat the defending champion Rockets 92-90.
2004: The first Shaq vs. Kobe match-up after their tumultuous "break-up" happened on Christmas day in 2004. Shaq and the Heat won by 2 in OT after Kobe missed a shot at the buzzer.
2011: This was the first day of the 2011-12 season after a prolonged lockout (the season was only 66 games long). The big game that Christmas was reigning MVP Derrick Rose and the Bulls facing off against Kobe and the Lakers. These clubs were two of the top contenders entering the season, and the game was a nail-biter. In the end, Luol Deng intercepted a Kobe pass with less than 20 seconds to go, leading to a magnificent Rose floater in the final seconds to earn the 88-87 win.
I'll add there was a Finals rematch of Dallas and Miami, with the Heat having to watch the Mavericks raise their championship banner (talk about coal in your stocking). The game wasn't great as Miami topped Dallas fairly easily on the way to winning LeBron's first title.
2013: The upstart Warriors with burgeoning superstar Steph Curry hosted the Lob City Clippers and Point God Chris Paul in an extremely entertaining yet heated game that "featured" multiple technicals, scuffles, and ejections, plus a post-game shoving match. GS won 105-103.
2016: Huge match-up between the Cavs and Warriors who had that insane Finals just 6 months prior (Cleveland beat the 73-9 Dubs after going down 3-1 in the series), plus Durant was now with GS so hype for this game was ginormous. The contest lived up to its billing and was close throughout. Kyrie Irving made multiple clutch plays down the stretch, including a tough basket with 3.4 seconds left to win it 109-108 for the Cavs.

This was inspired by seeing someone speculate that Embiid will likely have a sharp decline in the coming years in terms of his ability to carry such a heavy offensive load. Will I don't necessarily agree about it being a steep, sudden decline, I do see some of their logic in that Joel has a physically intensive style of play with all of the ISO's, and he does sometimes already gas in games and is often banged up and worn down by the time the playoffs come around. That said, I think he could easily settle into a second option on a contending team role, average in the low 20's well into his mid 30's. Lower rebound averages and totals, fewer ISO's, more like Heat Shaq.
Conversely I think most agree Jokic's game will age very well cause he basically doesn't rely on athleticism at all. Only thing that will really suffer is his lateral quickness, and lets face it, he doesn't really have any to begin with so not sure that will make a huge difference.
Most interesting one to me is Luka. Super slow game doesn't rely on speed so he should age well, but he's always had conditioning issues and his usage rate is insane, so maybe a combination of poor conditioning and wear and tear cause him to age poorly.
Ja is another interesting one. There's a good chance he idiots himself out of the league due to his antics, but that aside, I wonder if he develops a game to carry him once his athleticism leaves. When Jaren Jackson Jr athleticism declines there's a good chance he averages minus rebounds.
