So nobody's gonna talk about the 800 pound elephant in the room: Embiid on the back getting medical attention

Say what you will about Howard, but he's been a difficult interior presence to deal with. Multiple second possessions with his O boards already in the short time I've been watching.

much like the actual knee injury, i don't think it's anything to worry about.

He's been good the past 2 seasons.

Embiid looks like he's sick more than hurt.

He definitely showed that he's a valuable asset, both last season and this one, especially in the playoffs.

He’s turned into an old school bruiser down low, absolute pain to deal with.

philly has size and play defense - that's really tough to go up against for a young squad.
Very true. They are the worst matchup for us in the entire league by far. I don't see any other team coming close to a SImmons/Thybulle combo to guard Trae, nor an Embiid type to completely dominate Capella. Capella is such a great player for us, but against Embiid he is useless offensively and defensively. No Hunter and Reddish makes it that much worse as without them we can't slow Harris either.

He has nine rebounds early and is the best player on the floor. What doesn't make sense?djsunyc wrote:embiid is not moving well so why on earth would you double?

Trae missing some easy ones but he is getting to his spots. Just needs to catch fire.

and hawks doubling has been awful - they are not hard doubling and sending trae to double doesn't effect him at all.

That turnaround away from the double by Embiid on the baseline is a thing of beauty.
