NBA Season 2016-2017

Embiid does at least one thing every game that is just special.  This play is the latest in a long list of examples of what kind of freak he can be long term  https://twitter.com/DColeSports/status/795805911956803584

He did a similar move in the prior game.  I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls off one of those Rondo behind the back fake pass for the layup moves.  All Embiid needs to be really special is time and health.

Embiid is 4-for-4 from three.  Lol.  Kid is unreal.  20 points in 19 minutes.  Sixers only down 2 to the Cavs.

Massive block on LeBron. Would love to have seen Jaylen win ROY, but this kid has it sown up.

Embiid just one-upped Jaylen's big performance against the Cavs by putting up an even bigger performance against the Cavs.  They almost won that game too.  All that with both Embiid and Okafor on 24 minute restrictions.  Wow.

where can we talk about him now?

Great game by. Embiid.  So far quite the talent.

Also check out the stat line by towns in Minnesota. I want to see these. Two play against one another.

I think both will end up better than Anthony Davis if they stay healthy.  Embiid seems to have a more advanced post game than Towns.

LOL

The things he's messing up... turnovers/fouls... those are the easiest things to correct with time.  He already has the ability to be dominant offensively and defensively.  If he stays healthy and sees his minutes increase to 30+, he seems like a lock to be a 20/10 player long term.

I like Embiid's aggressiveness when stepping out to trap.  If McConnell had been half as aggressive, they might have gotten a turnover.

I'm on the boat with you LarBrd33, I can definitely see what Embiid is made of.

The real question is.... Will his body finally hold up?

I can see why Ainge was still insistent on Joel Embiid, and why he would've drafted even if he was injured.

Embiids play should only be mildly surprising. He was seen as a better prospect than either Wiggins or Parker. Hes maybe the best prospect since Oden/Durant.

It all comes down to weather or not he can stay healthy.

Warriors looking awful. They will still probably win, but have blown a 14 point 3rd quarter lead.

Edit it was at one point a 22 point game

[jpotter33]

Holy cow, Curry just broke the NBA record with 13 threes in a game.

[jpotter33]

13-17... Wow.

And Durant and Klay both have 20+ themselves, yet they're still in a tight game at home. What does that tell you?

It was a 3 point game till this recent burst. The Pelicans backcourt is awful

guess that makes up for going 0-10

Yup. That Philly weather could put anyone at risk.

I really love how E'Twaun Moore has established a name for himself in the NBA. I hated to see him be traded (i think he was part of a package for Courtney Lee?), but I'm quite happy for him now.

Both him and Frazier look like legit rotation players (watched them both last night). Tonight I am interested in seeing if the Hawks are competitive against Cleveland. Will Howard be effective against Mosgov and Thompson? Do wish the game was in Atlanta instead of Cleveland for a better chance of being competitive.
