They get the ishy Pistons again so hopefully they blow them out the second time. Wonder what's the status of Blake Griffin and D Rose this time. We were lucky Detroit was short handed the other night. 1 hour ago, rambo said: 1st place in the East and the state of this thread sucks. You people need to chill the F out and just watch some ball.

JayEcho Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 4 hours ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: Good content, but I couldn't watch it all. The guy in the video is a complete tool bag. Knows his stuff, but his delivery is hard to listen to. yeah, i had to grit my teeth through the video as well. but it's the first i've seen where someone broke down how doc's using our players on offense and defense. i watched all his breakdowns (not fun) and every one he pointed out how we're susceptible to screens because of our defensive alignment and where we place the center. the positive? we're getting better at switching man / hedging. but knowing how teams are exploiting it to hit threes on us (detroit hit 14 this past sat)... playing teams with good perimeter shooters could be a concern.

JayEcho Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 hopefully to no one's surprise: edit: hopefully it's just precautionary that they're listing him as questionable... maybe cause of soreness and not something more serious. i think i remember the patriots always putting brady on the injury report even though it wasn't serious and he ended up playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_hunt Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 jojo has that back thing that can flare up at any time...so expect him to be listed as questionable more often than not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to know how big Joel actually is. He is listed at 7 foot 280lbs, but I bet he is closer to 7'2" 300lb. We can't comprehend that size and I bet he gets soreness a lot from being that damn big. Doesn't help he looks like a baby deer on ice half the time always tripping over his feet or falling all the time. Never seen a dude on the floor more playing basketball than him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_hunt Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Quote At the team’s practice facility in Camden, New Jersey, just seconds before he vanishes from sight to take a post-workout shower, Embiid smiles when asked about his frequent falls. "It was something I learned during my rehab when I was going through the foot injury, when I was trying to find ways to limit the impact on my body in 2014,” he says. "I was told that every time I feel like I’m in a situation where it’s going to be some type of extreme [weight] on my leg, I’ve got to dive or just roll onto the floor. So that’s why I do it.” … "I know there are fans that are always thinking, ‘No!’ each time I fall, but that’s why I do it,” Embiid says with a brief grin before heading for the showers. "The specialists for my foot told me to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's old news - if you watch when he falls you can tell he's doing it on purpose most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont love the idea of him playing with back pain. The alternative is missing a few weeks... either scenario isnt good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
