Didn't Embiid play volleyball....I mean I don't think this man has ever been held scoreless in his life....other than with Rihanna and now Gasol.Embiid is getting destroyed on twitter
Embiid is getting destroyed on twitter
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.
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.Embiid has to learn how to handle it better because he’s going to see double teams the rest of his NBA career.

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.
I've always said if Rajon Rondo and Blake Griffin had five kids, Ben would be one of the outcomes.I just heard the perfect description of ben simmons. 6’10’’ rondo
