I didn't watch the game.  Saw embiid highlights this morning.  I was thrilled to see he did a ton in the post.  Even low post. And on top of that,  lots of 1 dribble moves to the basket.  Not too much ball handling letting the double get there. So good. 

Wish it was every night.  So dominant there. Hope it continues. 

hornets had to play 6'7 pj washington at center...so it was a game embiid could dominate easily. tobi had a nice game...as did shake.  pretty much everyone else sucked.

Yeah.  It's good that he went down there and dominated the smaller guy.  

You'd expect it,  but he and the team don't always do what's expected. 

Would be nice if he continues doing it against real centers. Probably won't.

I was just gonna say that they literally had nobody capable of defending Embiid.  He didn't have to work at all to get the low post this game.  That's different when a team has a legit big on him.  Then he'll be 15-20 feet from the basket instead.

Great game by Embiid. As others have said, it was much closer than it should of been. A big part of that was they made Oubre look like Michael Jordan. I've never seen that dude have a game like that before.

Never? Not the day before before where he went 11/17 for 28 points. 

Or heck the last two weeks. Oubre is a bucket getter, but is just not consistent nor efficient enough yet. 

 

f'n tobi...

 

 

 

didn't realize levert was so bad at threes until i just looked it up...yikes.

I knew you didn't follow the Sixers.

yeah, his natural instinct is that of a ball stopper who dribbles into contested 2's. he somehow puts up decent numbers w/o really helping them win.

That dude never passes the ball he puts up a shot from anywhere he doesn't care. However, it was hilarious when at the end of the quarter the gave it to him and even the announcer is like we know who is taking this shot. Then he passed it and the announcer damn near sheet himself he  was in disbelief he actually passed lol. 

On the Hornets side, I thought James Bouknight and JT Thor had some really, really impressive moments.

Could have had a modern coach in Lue but took the Dino 

 

 

Reportedly,  the 6ers sent an offer for Lillard. 

Don't know if this is a breaking thing,  or old that just got out.

I assume either way,  not happening. 

Odd since Dame said he would be interested in playing with a defender like ben

Lillard is looking for 2 year 100 million extension.  So 50 million at 35 and 50 million at 36.  No way I want to touch that contract.  It is bad enough without the extension.

The thought is he knows they won't give it and he will use that as ammo to justify asking out.

Don't be so sure.  Lilliard is putting the screws to the Blazers with his salary demands.  Blazers don't have a GM at the moment.  You can just sense Morey is waiting to close in for the kill.

To be honest not a fan of smaller older guards. I say get rid of both, Ben and Tobias

 

A source familiar with the situation spoke to PhillyVoice on Monday evening and said the Sixers have had no recent discussions with Portland regarding a CJ McCollum trade, and a package centered around the Blazers’ guard is not currently of interest to the Sixers.

The Sixers are expected to continue dialogue with teams across the league about potential opportunities as Dec. 15 nears and more trade scenarios become available league-wide.

 

turning down McCollum, Simons, and a 1st is absolutely idiotic. 

Morey deserves a lot of heat.
