Ok....So Houston is swarming Embiid whenever he touches the ball in the halfcourt. He's getting calls when he tries to split the double team and this is all fine and rosey, but these refs will swallow their whistles in the postseason. He needs to make quicker, more sound decisions when this happens. This is actually good in game practice for him today. Clearly this was Udokas game plan and it would work perfectly in the postseason.

You're about to see a Moses Malone masterclass in rebounding in the 3rd.
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

Great first half. You couldn't ask for more. Everyone is staring in their roles. Expecting Maxey to pick up in the 2nd half and close the game before the 4th quarter. Get Embiid some fresh legs for tomorrows game.
Speaking of, I think he looks better than the last couple of games he played. The knee was clearly bothering him. I hope it's now solved for good. He will need some conditioning in the next week or so to get back to his pace.

Batum is our second best defender after Joel (when he’s locked in). His help defense is insane.

Embiid got his 30. Why is he still taking 3 pointers instead of hanging around the rim for boards?

Great defense by Senguin on Embiid. I don’t know what Alaa is going on about. His arms went down after Embiid went into his body. How could he not have his arms go down a little bit.

Welp, it looks like Embiid won't be resting in the 4th.

It's almost a guarantee Embiid checks back in at some point regardless of the score.

Done w/ this team if Embiid plays 1 second in the 4th.

Embiid played on an injured leg to keep this streak alive. You know he’s coming in for 3 rebs.

He only needs 2 but I feel ya. We may even let the Rockets make a run just to avoid making it look so obvious.

Unfortunately he has miserable instincts for rebounds, so this might take a minute.
