Embiid's a funny dude.

Don’t ever change Embiid.

I like Justin too. Cool to see these kind of things.

Two Sixers in the top 16 in mvp voting to this paper.

Read on Twitter

That extra 30 million dollars Super Max money is coming into focus for Embiid. Gotta jump Anthony Davis and Lemarcus Aldridge in the voters minds for 1st team All-NBA. If he doesn't miss too many more games than AD, he probably gets 1st team.

Just saw on ESPN that Embiid's per 36 average of 28.3 ppg is tied with Jordan for 1st of all time. Lot's of amazing Embiid stats but hows that for blunt.

I don’t claim that all my predictions are good, as the result for Okafor has been bad, but I said before this year that Embiid would average 25-28 points and 12-14 rebounds this year if he averaged 32 minutes a game, and that has been right on. All this and his usage, TOV, and foul rate, has gone down from last year.

Wait until next year where he will do it again with even lower foul rate, TOV rate and usage rate.

Embiid is a beast. Once he limits his turnovers he will be so much scarier. He’s already gotten better about his turnovers but he is still careless at times.

Honestly the number one thing Embiid needs to work on is his 3PT shooting especially if we are going to run the offense through him with. The other thing he needs to do is polish his footwork in the post. Get rid of that faceup J and work on a spin move

[phiphan]

I'd rather have him work on his positioning around the basket on dribble penetration and timing for lobs, etc., and his two-man game with Simmons and Fultz. His face up J is effective and is the foundation of his isolations.

[Bum Adebayo]

I think lower body strength is what he needs more. It is the main reason why he had issues establishing position against Adams. His upper body is more than fine.

[76ciology]

Biid looks great on those ISO/Post plays but he needs to work more on his PnRs, that will have better impact to the team and Ben.

Biid talked about falling down allows the force to disperse than rather have it focused on one body part. Its a good analogy on how to handle opposing defense. He needs to find ways for opposing D to not focus on him, when the D is dispersed, its easier for him to score baskets on volume.

[76ciology]

If u guys remember when Biid was out during his first year or so. There were reports from training staff on how impressed they are with biid. On how he was a quick learner.

Damn.. he’s a savant. He draws fouls like star vets. He’s great at reading defense. Euro step. Dream shake. Step back. And recently, his passing has been very impressive.

I honestly think if he makes it through the season with no major injury then he's going to be next season's MVP (depending on our record). He's a top 10 player in the league and he's never had an offseason to work on his game. If he doesn't have to rehab and can just sure up his weaknesses and get physically stronger, it's a wrap for the league.

Man was I worried about him last night but he held up.

[thenbaman]

And to think he has only played about 50 total games for his career so far,very impressive.

[BenRightHand]

I was very happy with what I saw last night. Dude is a beast.

He played too many minutes last night and I wouldn't be surprised if he misses a couple
of games as a result. The game wasn't that important to take the risk. Shame on Brown.

Secondly, he taunted Steven Adams. He's lucky he didn't get called for a technical. And
Westbrook was right to call him on it.

[XDevilBoiX]

If he wasn’t gassed, he would have pulled that victory out for us

I'm getting sick of his childish crap too.

I just don't think he understood that he was showing somebody up. Hopefully somebody
will explain the difference between getting the crowd into the game and embarrassing
a worthy rival. Adams usually plays him tough.

He is very competitive and he tries to get the other team's center fouled out.
Waiving good bye was disrespectful, but most fans loved it and waived themselves.

Sixers were up by 4 in ot, Embiid should have recognized the quick doubles and passed the ball. He forced 2 bad shots, maybe he was fouled, but he should have re-established position and gotten a better look. Can't blame him he was obviously tired and in back pain.

Disappointed with the loss, but was a very fun and exciting game.

Need a stretch 4 to compliment jojo. How many open looks is dario getting a game from 3 and completely bricking?

Need to treat the supporting cast like teams have done with lebron. Find the 3 pts shooters for ben and jo and this team will get real interesting.
