7 pts tonight. Previously 2 other duds. Overall just not cutting it
He is expecting Kyrie to do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end. Plus has been plain average on defense
What to do with this guy? Maybe its time to consider trading him (and eat 50 cents on the dollar)
Trade for a cheaper option like Dedmon to take care of things around the paint
Where is Dedmon when you need him 
Haha, nah, I know you've eaten so much crow in this thread triboy..
He is really showing up though. I wonder how much of the in-season frustration was simply Brad just running fewer plays during the season where Al was the primary (or secondary, or even tertiary) option?
Yeah, we need Dedmon to take care of things in the paint. Classic Triboy overreaction off of a few dog days of the regular season games.
I didn't see much of the game, but how did Embiid go 7-18 from 2-point land??
Was it Al, Baynes, poor mid-range shooting, or double teams, that stopped him?
We didn't double him at all.
No traditional doubles, but fantastic team defense. Always somebody nearby ready to chip or stunt at him if he started toward the basket. The Sixers ran a really weird offense too; a bunch of times they had something like a scrum at the top of the key. Simmons and Embiid and a third player would all just bunch up, making it really easy to defend him and take away driving lanes. The few times Embiid drove from a wing, there was really good one on one defense. The twos that he hit were really tough shots.
I also think it helped a lot that Simmons was completely stymied. He couldn’t drive and break the defense down, which meant there were no easy lobs for Embiid.
I have to say, I don’t think Embiid’s conditioning is very good. I know brown took him out of the game more than you might expect, but I think part of that was that he was winded.
