Embiid is going to break his neck with all this flopping and embellishment. Embarrassing. Dude did a front flip on the ground after that dunk.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Amen! My thoughts exactly. And Tatum will work on his shooting form.

I haven't been able to watch this game.  How is our def?   Are they burning Embiid with his lack of foot speed?

Massively overrated?he?s a fine young player but people putting him in the top 5 and comparisons to Jordan are completely laughable. Is he even better than Jaylen brown? Apparently he?s the next goat because he had 2 good playoff series.

Yes on all your points. Wants to be a volume scorer but isn?t that good at it and doesn?t do the little things out there.

  Right now I think Jaylen is better. Edwards could not stay in front of Kyrie or give Luka trouble. Jaylen can and did. I don?t think that?s sustainable over a season to d up like that but the best of Jaylen certainly think is better .

I am the opposite. He has blown me away in this tournament. How superior he is to the rest of the young talent on the roster. The only guys who have outplayed him are LeBron & Durant.

No other perimeter player has his combination of self-creation, ball-handling, scoring, shooting, passing, size & physicality, athleticism, quickness. He is on another level.

Sheed had a quick vid on this a few weeks (months?) ago. About today's bigs particularly Embiid & AD are constantly falling on the ground. That he has never seen bigs do this before. All this flopping.

He hates it.

I think he may have connected it to their injury proneness as well.
