Haven't seen him much this season, but what he did at 1:42 below is absolutely insane for a big-man his size.

I hope that Embiid will be fine, I want Philly beating Bucks in playoffs this year

He's also strong MVP candidate and it's always a shame if legit candidate is eliminated due to injury...

Burst was nutty. Like he was doing a 2K park speed boost.

This move is definitely a travel by the way, it just looks ridiculous...

It went from 2 steps to 2.5 steps to "**** it may as well make it 3 steps" to "bounce the ball once and you're all right" :lol:

TroubleS0me · Post #13 » by **TroubleS0me** » Sat May 1, 2021 6:34 pm

29% from 3 in April
a drop from his season average

i read th ringer power ranking articles since independently of the irrelevant ranking they give some interesting insighst on every team that you wouldnt notice unless you watched basketball 10 hours a day

and their comment on philadelphia is inpresive but also a bit eerie

sixers score 1.16 points in embiig post ups(!) on single coverage, but go down to a merely good 0.97 when embiid is doubled

not that 0.97 is bad, but is not elite, and embiid post ups seem like the only reliable source of good offense for sixers

if teams in the playoffs (specially one like bucks with elite lenght and athletism in their defenders) decide to go all in on doubling embiid sixers dont look able of make them pay

for comparision the article mentions that giannis amd jokic being double teamed in the post leads to bucks and nuggets scoring 1.4 (wtf) points per possesion
