    Those four blocks in the first quarter really set that defensive tone and intensity for the night. He was so dominant. Hope his back is ok.

    embiid's giant a** sure spends a lot of time not being around the basket.


    yeah, embiid is philly's problem, imo. they can fire coaches, but their roster doesn't work. embiid or simmons needs to go, and i'd move the lazy one with more market value.

    That's dominant.

    Glad we didn't need him and he was able to get his rest in that second half. Hopefully the back isn't going to be a lingering issue.

    I don't want to interrupt the lovefest between you and OX, but this is the last game you should want to complain about AD. Man was a 17 minute monster out there.

    I get you, but I don't think AD is wired that way. He grew up playing the point. He's a guard at heart. I do hope he learns someday how much he could feast in the paint, but until then, I'm willing to live with the occasional cold shooting game.

    Frankly, no. We can't expect that. I think it's pretty obvious that's not his game. He's a pick n' roll guy, an incredibly skilled finisher with Malone-esque mid-range J aspirations. In addition, he's a monster defender and a shot blocker. But an offensive bruiser he is not and never will be. We just need to accept that.

    Bs indeed, I hate media voting. How is media voting even fair for all these stupid awards like mvp, coach of the year, DPOY.... Giannis got DPOY over AD. Nobody ever picks a laker, the hate is constant, whether we’re good or bad that year.

    Knowing this, giannis will also get mvp or harden. Book it. Change the rules to voting to coaches/GMs/players

    29/11/5 with 1 steal 1 block

    26/9/3 with 1.5 steals, 2.3 blocks

    Guess which 2019-20 reg season avg stats are AD?

    smh... and the operative word in the award is “defensive”. Such a sham.
