He's looking like himself again.

Has he been confirmed to lose weight during his injury? I did notice on one dunk earlier that his lift seemed to be back.

Embiid looks gassed from carrying this team all season long and AD looks fresh from a month long vacation.

Why does it look like the Simon game at mid court?

Watching AD battle Embiid like this while Westbrook just turns the ball over and falls asleep on defense over and over again is sad to watch. Does Westbrook not get sick of this **** himself?

Too bad AD can never stay healthy because he's a more complete defender than either Giannis or Embiid.

Is that AD’s fault too?


I wouldn't want Lebron to play if he's got soreness in the Knee. Wouldn't want him to play against the Hornets if it's still sore.


Just saying, LeBron has only played in 7 more games than AD this season.

But AD is labeled mr. Glass.

LeBron escapes all criticism for this.


So, you want us to criticize the 37-year old who has played over 62,000 minutes of NBA basketball because he's ONLY played 7 more games so far this season than the 28-year old who has played less than 23,000 minutes in the NBA. Really?

I changed my MVP vote to Embiid this morning and he rewards my wisdom by getting his butt kicked by Anthony freaking Davis?????

Davis definitely out playing Embiid. But it’s taking a toll on Davis guarding embiid.
