He really wasn't cooking until they started putting 6'7 guys on him. But he did look good and what he was suppose 2 do

You say that like you can find a center on every team that will give you 25 just like that. Hell Draymond is 6'7" and there might only be 5 centers in the league that can even punish him downlow. Most bigs these days only run, dunk and block shots thats it.

Nah. Dray is a special defender.

There's plenty of great low post centers that just don't run, dunk, and block.

No embiid is great and i love his game but the nets were clearly about to run away with it until they switched line ups and let the second unit proceed to give up a 27-1 run. Embiid did what he was suppose to do but dario was more effective during that stretch. Embiid also shot like 18 free throws and a few of those calls were questionable. I just made the comment because he wasn't looking unstoppable against moskov before or after the run

He averaged 8 freethrows a game last year in 25mpg, he applies a ton of pressure on defenses.


It's not just him going against smaller guys, he got to the line 9 times last year against Favors and Gobert...in 19 minutes, Gobert fouled out in 20 minutes :dead:

I was just talking about today. Embiid is that nikka, im well aware of that.


His injury actually changed nba history because if he never got hurt he would be playing with lebron and kyrie and would be 2 much for golden state
