If Thybulle is such a tremendous defender, what does that say about Jaylen Brown offensively as he made Thybulle look foolish several times defensively that game?

Point being, Brown is getting really good offensively but he isn't elite yet but made Thybulle look silly. Maybe, Thybulle ain't all that.

The 6-7 times I have seen Thybulle this year he has looked like the full spectrum defensively...from really good to really bad. Overall, he doesn't seem as advanced as Smart or Draymond Green were as rookies. Heck, he isn't even as good a rookie defender as his own teammate, Joel Embiid, was

He had a bad game, but he had a really good previous three games against the Cs scorers.

The Clippers are going through this regular season nonchalantly. You can tell by the body language and of course, the consistent load managing they do. Hopefully they play like that this Thursday too against us lol

Paul George better step up, don't see how they will make it to the Finals if not.

George is going to be the X-Factor. You know Kawhi will bring it, but honestly George has choked in the last few postseasons. If he chokes this postseason too, it might not matter what Kawhi and the others do.

I mean, is it just me, or is Embiid just completely annoying to watch if you're not a Philly fan? I just find him unbearable to watch at times with his antics.

He’s evidently becoming unbearable for them too. Who’d have thought being a completely unlikeable jack*** would lead to being disliked

Embiid is someone who can dish it, but can't take it. Shaq is right about him being soft.

Sixers now 25-2 at home, but 9-19 on the road.

It's also crazy how despite the Clippers playing so nonchalantly in the regular season, they are still technically around the 2 seed in the tough West...

Oops, sorry, wrong thread...Back to Cs/HOU  :)

Do love the Embiid drama, though!

His effort is unbearable, not his antics.  Philly fans in general enjoy his antics when he actually gives effort (which he did last night).

He has all the tools to be great but i don't think he really wants to. Bball for him looks more like a profession than a passion

although i don#t want anything good for the tanking sixers this is a pitty .....

Doc got his starting unit wrong. Marcus Morris starts next to Kawhi and PG13. No Beverley so Lou Will starts. Too many shot takers taking the ball out of PG13's and Kawhi's hands. Shamet or McGruder should have started at SG if Lou Williams is starting.

No liking Marcus Morris starting in general. Not a team player. All about himself. I don't think he was a good pickup. They didn't need a shot-stealer. Someone who could play off the ball would have been more valuable.
