Which is it? Hurt or drama? I haven't been able to watch

For most players, its absolutely nothing. For a knee as shot as Embiid's thats probably hurt.

Hes not gonna miss time, but I wouldnt be surprised to see him slow down more and more throughout the next series. We have seen this movie too many times.

Their bigs coulnt handle him. Garza and Queta in foul trouble. They refused to even give Vucevic 1 minute in that game which was funny. Embiid has trouble with actually strong players, even if they are smaller. Kyle Lowry used to give him fits. Brown was their best attempt at that.

The Sixers only need Embiid for 4 games in the series. The 4 they want to win…

Maybe Brunson will guard him in the next round

If only it really worked like that.

So does this mean that the Rockets first round pick that the Sixers have will actually be higher than their own pick which they don’t have? If so, I’m not sure any of us saw that happening…

We’ve played the Knicks tight. Probably another 6 or 7 game series.

I agree

Boston went to a 3–2 zone in the 4th on a couple possessions when Embiid was out. They stopped the Sixers a few times in a row in that short stretch. I’m wondering how often teams use a zone these days?

Not super often but Miami used it against us with big success a couple years ago and seems to have been a trend starter. Teams will bring it out from time to time now to try to get back in a game.

Obviously, the restriction not allowing players on D to stay in the paint is an issue for someone wanting to play zone

I want to thank Joe for his idiotic decision to change the entire starting lineup for a game 7. I guess that little run their scrubs made on us game 6 was enough for him to make a panic change. Joe Nursed himself.

Embiid played in Game 7 and Tatum didn't. That was the difference.

Im shocked we were able to do this without Cam Payne.

Just realized they traded away Simons. He might have been the difference in this series, especially with Tatum out game 7.

Especially since they didn't even play the guy they traded simons away for. Seems dumb

Tbh kind of think if Embiid played game 3 they probably have won that game. Weird series cause Tatum missed game7 but Embiid missed 1-3
