Do you guys know Biid has been playing really bad on defense this series? Like the team plays better on D when he’s off the floor.

Small sample size.

Al about to come back

Yea, he’s probably miscast / ask to do too much at this level, which is a FO issue, but he’s also really young and locked into a super cheap contract. Not gonna win this series anyway, I’m fine just trying to get him as much experience as possible.

I've been saying he plays matador defense these days, but people haven't caught up yet.

yall are seeing what you want to see.

Embiid plays against their better lineups.

Al plays against the bench.

context my guys...context.

but do you. yall will use whatever you can to justify your narrative I guess

The narrative is that he is an elite defender though.

I think some of it is that we ask him to work super hard on offense. I watched the Lakers the other night and AD gets so many easy buckets off other guys attacking. Same with Gobert. I think we have had an elite perimeter player that could be the top scoring option, that would let Embiid spend more energy on the defensive end.

How exactly do you expect a 300 pound player to move?

but again do you. I have explain why the defense hasn't been great to you multiple times but it doesn't matter.

its a waste of time

I think the FO has expected this. Thats why they hired Roy Hibbert recently.

Calm down, but that is also why we had to overpay for Al. Biid has shaky durability

You don't pay max money to have insurance though.

As good as he was 1-2 seasons ago.

His defensive numbers have been on a decline

He plays the role asked from him. He was not expected to play like a $30+M player. Only fans do

Yeah I mean, people acting like Embiid is a normal 300-pound. The appeal was how good and quick he was for his size, if you remove that then he is not nearly as appealing.
