And down the stretch there were too many consecutive penalties going their way. 2. On this play in particular, its a foul. But I cant help but think about how differently Shaq would react in that situation. Embiid is soft and lets Giannis right up in his grill, has one hand on the ball... and then gets shoved down as Giannis gets the steal. If that was Shaq, Giannis would probably have an elbow in his mouth. 2 hands on the ball. Strong. Protect it. You can say thats BS by Giannis, but thats BS soft play by Embiid which is more upsetting to me.

He went at him physically the very next play and the refs called a BS offensive foul on Embiid in the post
October 27, 20232 yr Just now, Mat said: 1. He elbows him and it's a flagrant, instead Embiid played for the call which didn't come 2. He went at him physically the very next play and the refs called a BS offensive foul on Embiid in the post Yeah. Embiid plays for the call too much. Be physical. Accept the fouls that come with it. Doesnt literally have to elbow the face. Just saying... Elbows are a better deterrent to defenders. On your second point, thats unfortunate. Refs screwed us last night. NBA probably didnt want to spoil Lillard's debut so they can hype that team up.
October 27, 20232 yr How did we not get Dame for Harden + whatever is needed to make it happen trade?
October 27, 20232 yr If Embiid wants to go to Miami, Bam is a great player. Offensive game gets better every year and always on the all defensive team.

Bam is no Embiid, but Bam may be perfect for Nurse's system. With ball movement the focus, Bam is a heck of a passer from the center position.

October 29, 20232 yr Maxey with 24 points, 7 assists with a whole quarter+ left to play. The assist numbers these first two games are what are super encouraging.

October 29, 20232 yr WTF was that from Embiid? No look, off balance three with 5 seconds still on the shot clock. Brutal.
October 29, 20232 yr If they can get Harden out of here and receive at least a couple decent role players they have a shot. With Maxey's growth, the addition of Oubre off the bench, and the lightyears better coaching, they have a shot. Just cut out the cancer.
