I don't get that last call. Zion went right through Kawhi, didn't even attempt to make a play and Kawhi gets called for the foul?

You can't be in bad shape like Jamarcus Russell if you want to have a great career.


Agreed.

With his frame and style of play he seems destined to peak younger and have a shorter career compared to other stars to begin with.

It would be a shame if he couldn't get his body right and that window closed on him at an even faster rate. He looks way too big right now, he's going to have to shed some lbs to get ready for next season.

The Pelicans might as well pack it in and hope for a good draft pick.

Sixers will probably win this game but still they dont look that great. I would love to see Jimmy Butler go against them in the playoffs.

Only thing is that LA has a game under them already so they might catch the Raps off-guard. I hope not though.

Embiid with the Hollywood performance.

Remember the pelicans were 3-0 in scrimmage game and that includes a win over the Bucks .... But they've been awful since the second half against jazz.

Lucky for them, the NBA gave the Pelicans a matchup against Memphis on a back to back for MEM

Come on, Embiid. You can't tell me that 200 pounds Edmund Sumner laid you out here. Ease up with the acting.

Is this recent? his shot looks a lot better and he appears to have gained 10-15 lbs of muscle.
