Yeah of course 31.4 PPG on 62% TS is not enough, he has to do more instead of the rest of the team playing better.
The standard for Embiid is so high that 31 PPG on 62% TS translates to Embiid not being consistent.

I can't believe we're losing to the Rockets right now.

lol Maxey gets injured and becomes the most maligned player on the team.


Maxey or Harden need to play average to good defense, and we both know it’s not going to be Harden.

Im just catching the game now. But seems like we catered the game to Harden (who’s just getting to his feet) thats why we’re losing

One team playing to win. The other team playing for highlights.

The team playing for highlights is winning.

It’s surprising we’re losing, but it’s not completely unexpected. Harden is just coming back. The Rockets have a really well created team, just very young and arguably poorly coached. Lots of creators and shooters with high effort on their home court going against a “contender”. Especially one with a former Rocket legend.

If we lose this Doc is on the hot seat again. Silver lining y'all.

Top players underperforming leading to unrealistic demand for role players.

This game, it’s Harden

Man PJ Tucker has given us 0 on offense on multiple occasions. I really think he should get situational mins. The rockets aren't one of the teams where he's needed that much.
