I think people are just about done with Embiid legacy games in the regular season :lol:

. He's gotta start doing some playoff damage before he is taken seriously for all time ranks

Meh idk I think the only thing he can do to change/improve his legacy is to make it further in the Playoffs. Because right now he’s basically become the C version of James Harden (great regular season & perineal MVP candidate with numbers) and I recognize that his struggles are more so injury related. Nonetheless it’s still the only thing that will really change how he’s viewed when you look at his legacy.

His foul line jump shot has become automatic for him.

Can't play playoff games in December

At the end of the day, this is the best month of Embiids career game after game of dominance.

I never said you could, but as for "legacy" games... you can't have those in the regular season if you can't do it in the playoffs as well. It just doesn't work like that unfortunately.

A microcosm of this game. Pull the starters at this point, no sense in keeping them in there for this BS.

If you lose focus for even 5 minutes against the Clippers you're going to be down big.

To spread my negativity around a bit - the Wolves bench has no showed tonight, worst I’ve caught them this season.

Don’t look now but Cleveland is 3-0 since losing Garland and Mobley to injury and it looks like Sam Merrill is a three point shooting stud… 19 points in his last outing and 27 points tonight with eight threes.

Outside of Naz and maybe NAW, they've been non-existent.

Gobert does that all the time how are those not considered moving screens?

Those jumpers from Embiid, so hard to watch. Those dunks, what an eyesore.

Embiid's jumper is so wet right now.

Even those two have been pretty rough.

Who wins?
