Honestly I think he has been playing well
Did we watch the same game?

Yeah he's been fine. We can live with that. Just don't be a ball-stopper and at least try to play defense.
Yea, I thought second quarter Embiid was fine and it wasn’t like Tatum or curry were really lighting it up, so I wouldn’t say Embiid was our primary problem like he’s been in other games. To your point, he needs to just hustle, play defense and keep the ball moving.
Actually, Tatum has 8 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. He's playing pretty good.

I have been critical of Embiid but I don’t know what people expect of him. He is best used when the game is slowed down and they play through him but that is not going to happen on this team. The fact he is playing great defense and rebounding is a good game for him right now.

Sounds like America.
There are 23 countries in North America and then another 12 countries in South America.
I understand in the world, of those 35 countries the US are most commonly thought of as "Americans" but it's like there are 34 other countries within the continents ending in America.

Defensively he has been allright. But on offense he can't be used in the way you're describing it cause the teams tries to run different sets without him being the hub and focal point. He juat seems to have a hard time adjusting his game.
He needs to pass the ball quicker, has to look for open shooters and should only take high percentage shots.
Booker and Tatum - also two high level scorers - have done a way better job at adjusting their roles.
