Embiid is choking these playoffs.

Like most of us said, embeta and Hardon are the two biggest loser chokers in the playoffs..
It’s nothing new, game 6 was standard for them..

Hardon prancing around, too scared to shoot, kept passing to maxey while embeta was MIA and didn’t want any part of the ball..

The knee is definitely an issue. I'm not using that as an excuse though.

I still get nervous when he gets his hands on the ball because I expect him to score everytime like he did in G5.

We'll see how he handles G7.

ye, honestly he's not bad because he's doing what needs to be done. He's not scoring like he should or even moving like he should, but he's playing his role. I look OTHER PLACES for the problem.

He's mentally ill if true. Why else would anyone roleplay as an animal

you guys know way too much about each other's lives lol.

I think we're seeing a drop off in general in the Eastern playoffs because it's a more physical game.

Tatum: 30.1 PPG RS (46% FG), 26.3 PPG PS (43% FG)
Brown: 26.6 PPG RS , 24.6 PPG PS; higher % in the PS though.

Giannis went from 31 PPG RS to 23 PPG PS.

If big men can get away with more physicality, my guess is their numbers would decline more.

Other point I make all the time- too much focus on individual offense.

Embiid was 3-6 in the 4th and the rest of the team 2-14. He has to demand the ball ofc, but he didn't even touch it the last 4 minutes, it's tough to put all the blame on him in those circumstances.

He is the MVP. He should be demanding the ball. It absolutely is his fault for not shooting more
