Do you let Embiid get his points and not double and stay home on everyone else, or do you double and make everyone else beat you?

Embiid's already killing us. Christ, if we can't slow him down, this is gonna be a looooong series.

Wide open bricks! Needs to chill and shoot in rythm

I have a sick feeling in my stomach fouls are going to play a huge role in them staying in these games

I will not freak out when Walker stars 3-12.

Not worried about Embiid and his patented 4th quarter playoff flameout

I'd like to see Daniel telling him all about it, get in that cupcake head of his.

We play him like a boxer that punches himself out!

I'm pretty curious to see how Rob will fare against Embiid. I don't remember ever seeing him guard him. Would love to see him stuff Embiid's shot back in his face.

I know Theis has earned the right to start but he should never be on the floor the same time as Embiid

Front court problems. Defensive is pathetic. Offense is okay

As long as they don't keep shooting 88%, we'll be fine.

The degree of difficukty between each teams shots are crazy. We are getting open looks every trip down the floor. They are making contested ones.. Kemba missed two wide open 3's. Theis has an open shot every play.. Just let it fly.

With the shooters they have, I think you make him work harder against varying coverage, but at some point other guys gotta make shots.

Just need to play even during Embiid minutes and win the minutes he's off the floor. They’ve gotta make him work so he’s tired in the 4th

Just keep leaning on him all game long. He's not in shape to keep up with the C's. He'll break. :nod:

Although, he could still go for 30+ but that's OK, he won't have it when the game is on the line.

Relax. If Embiid keeps scoring 50% of their points, this is a sweep. Let him punch himself out.
