Embiid falls down a lot. Towns needs to study Embiid...

Towns falls a lot, I kind of think refs just don't like him because of how much whining he has done over the course of his career.

If Reddish and Bogdanovic are out for extended games, Jalen Johnson will have to be activated.

Trae may have to play the entire 2nd half.

The way that Embiid is officiated is unlike every other big currently in the league. He really is the only big that gets as much benefit of the doubt by the refs. Amazing player, of course, but the way that he's officiated does get annoying.

Embiid has perfected falling down for a big man. I think you could make him fall with the wind just by waving your arms really fast.

It's been 20 games now, and we're still waiting for James Harden to "adjust"...

Wait, didn't Minny have a timeout here? Couldn't they have taken that timeout and drawn a play?
