It’s sad seeing Embiid like this. He is washed. He should save his body for after basketball. You don’t want to end up being a guy who can barely walk in their 40s

Up 26 without the MVP plus several other starters.

Granted it's against Utah without Markkanen, this team is just historically good with or without SGA

It would be nice if Jaren was playing well in these wins. He's being carried by his teammates during this stretch.

He’s out of rhythm but he’s moving well

is he the worse MVP in their "prime" years?

the fall off seems worse than just injury.

if the Lakers dont get to the conf finals or lose to Denver or OKC before that, they should fire the entire coaching staff and that coaching staff should never coach in the NBA again. if you can't win with Prime Luka and AR and ANY Lebron...Rui and these bigs... the lakers have some flaws but nothing that AR, Lebron and Luka can't overcome with solid coaching.

luka taking 10 more shots than AR is a coaching problem. the 76ers should not be in a game with this lakers squad...

I wasn't fully paying attention until now but that drone is trippy. If I was high right now, that would have freaked me out.
