Taking a tall on Embiid too, although he's usually a bit dramatic.

Is that AD’s fault too?


I wouldn't want Lebron to play if he's got soreness in the Knee. Wouldn't want him to play against the Hornets if it's still sore.


Just saying, LeBron has only played in 7 more games than AD this season.

But AD is labeled mr. Glass.

LeBron escapes all criticism for this.


Lebron played like 3x as many career minutes and is about twice as old. Comparing the durability of your prime stud to the longest tenured player in the league is not a win.

lets just agree that Lebron and AD both need to play more

they've shared the floor in only 25 of the last 98 games...

This Lakers roster outside of LeBron and AD couldn't win 5 games with Pop, Phil Jackson, Red Auerbach and Pat Riley coaching. Its that bad. It's sooooooooo bad. Lakers are going nowhere. I don't care is their big 2 average 70/25/15/5/4 on 60/40/85 splits. The roster is sewer water.

Activate the comeback.

Lakers lost the game trying to prevent Embiid from catching up with Lebron in scoring. Poor Vogel

So folks that like THT, what part of his game is it that you like exactly? Ever since that Lakers/Pistons rumor came up, I've paid closer attention to him and I gotta say, I just don't see it.

AD has 23/5/2 blks at half.

10/13 shooting

Are we watching the same game?


Where is anyone complaining about his play?


Read the first couple pages of the thread. Just a bash fest on AD


For getting injured...

He looks like a 2K created player. There is that.

Embiid has looked gassed the entire game..... I can see why there has been so much noise about getting another prime player on the team....

I will say....he has done an excellent job being the hub on the offense and getting the ball in the right spot. He has crushed the Lakers defensive plan. He can make a low energy impact on offense.
