Winning cures all. If they make it to the finals all is well. If they dont make if to the finals , then Brown is fired. Simple as tha .

Brown and Embiid both said in their interviews post game that they were essentially "schooled" on D and have to go back and study and figure it out.....cool.

This is not novel that teams are going to double Embiid more.....tonight was an extreme masterful version. Both Embiid and the coach had no clue how to adjust. Barkley said he took the next crucial step in his career (stardom) bc he adjusted to his double teams. He said that is what separates the very good from the stars...how they respond to the extra focus.

Embiid has to learn how to handle it better because he’s going to see double teams the rest of his NBA career.

Yeah ...setting screens and rebounding are good and all but since Simmons won't score...adding Embiid to the non-scoring/limited scoring ranks assures this team won't go far. Relying mainly on JRich and Toby as your scorers is a fool's errand.

League has the tape of this game....fatigue though does seem to have played a part in him doing perimeter work as opposed to smashing inside but Gasol defended him well.

Not just scoring, but passing out of double teams. You would think it would be hard to find a better guy to teach that than a guy who coached Tim Duncan all those years.
