Oh I see. So we're making sweeping statements based on 2 games now. In that case, Biyombo should have won DPOY for the 2 games he bullied the Cavs.
The magic do not have dynamic elite scoring wings or pg. The game that matter are the ones we should be paying attention to i.e. against philly, boston, Milwaukee, teams that we need to get through given this team has finals/championship aspirations
Gasol completely shut down Embiid in games 1 and 2.
First of all embid has been getting injections for his knee and had the stomach fly for game 2. He should shut down a player in that state, JV shut down a "healthy" embid last time they played and he scored on him, killed him on both ends of the floor. Cna you even imagine Gasol making 1/4 of those moves? I think not.
Embid had this to say afterwards, people forget that JV could handle embid and think we somehow would have been screwed had we not gotten gasol, majority of the board lives day to day and have amnesia. This team was definitely beating the sixers with JV and and improved pascal since Dec 5th and delon. Embid was held to 5/17 shooting and had the worst plus minus at MINUS 23 and JV shot 9-13, scored 26 pts in 18 mins and led the team in plus minus. This was also after the butler trade:
