Weber calling taurean Prince Carrol. Like ten times now without anyone correcting him. They kinda look similar from afar but it’s still pretty embarrassing to have that bigger gaps in your following the league you are supposed to be an expert at.
Webber doesn’t know the difference between DeMarre Carrol (who isn’t on a team) and Taurean Prince, whereas Marv doesn’t know the difference between Chiozza and Shamet. Hilarious.
One thing remains consistent - Embiid’s stamina is once again going to be a problem for Philly
Embiid played 37 minutes last night going 38/8/5. There are no B2Bs in the playoffs.
He’s also constantly faded in every playoff run he’s been in
Teams can really leverage his subpar vision and passing skill in the playoffs. The Sixers have certainly gotten a lot more shooting from their squad, but they still have a non-shooter in Simmons (even if he develops a three point shot this year he'll be closer to Jimmy Butler from three than a true floor spacer that makes defences pay for leaving him wide open, and he definitely won't have Butler's midrange shooting). I think a good comparison to Embiid is Hakeem: the latter struggled with creation whenever there wasn't 4 shooters out there on the floor (he did have decent results with Barkley, but Barkley had a decent off-ball game with passable midrange shooting, good passing and amazing offensive rebounding, ntm Barkley was an offensive savant for a big who could create offence on his own).
