Embiid with 50 points on 23 shots. In only TWENTY SEVEN minutes. Ridiculous.

Embiid checks out with 50 after missing a FT that would have given him a career high 51.

27 mins, 50 points on 17/23FG & 15-17 FT
Also tossed in 12 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, 3 BLK

Embiid increasing his NBA ALL-TIME points per minute standing. He's currently #1 in nba history with .81 points per minute. Jordan is at #2 with .79

Holiday’s back so I expect the Bucks to get the 1 seed by the all star break. There’s a reason why the Bucks replaced Bledsoe with him.

Harden has been absolute ****.

When you read that PHI vs ORL A center would dominate and score almost 30 at the half, everyone would think its Embiid

So tht and frp won’t cut it :lol:

Okongwu has KAT in jail this quarter. He is seriously impressive on defense

After a slow start, Trae with 30 points and 13 assist on 61.5% from the field. Hunter is playing like a top 5 pick with 22 points on 60% from the field. Okongwu also picked it up with 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks.

Can the Hawks close out a 4th? That is the question of the night.

Kuz is balling. Every time I watch the Wizards play I leave pissed off.

Nail biter in DC. Having LaMarcus down the stretch really helps the Nets as they can work the post ups when they want.

I'm guessing that's their death lineup except Durant rather than Kessler. Could also be Harris rather than Mills. But something like:

Harden/Mills (Harris?)/Irving/(KD)/LMA
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

So how often does this happen?

Read on Twitter


That should be a hefty fine, cost the Wizards a possession.

I don’t know he may be closer than we think. I love his feel on offense and defense. He plays like a seven footer and is tough.

Celtics offense is gross. It’s just pass, try go one on one. If you don’t get by your man, pass it to the next guy and repeat.
