Exactly man, he may not be fancy and put up assist numbers like Jokic, but his improvement in reading the defense and make the quick decision, quick pass, it usually leads to points by the other guys. Underrated af.
I don't think we can claim that until we've seen that your capable of bringing a team a ring. The best playoff performer is the best player in the world.
@dariuspickett3583 I said capable. Play better in the playoffs or go deep in the playoffs. Plus player empowerment basically guarantees that a player can create a solid team around them.
This is the biggest area Joel and the Sixers have improved this season, for most of Embiid's career this type of defense worked well because he wasnt a very good passer and there wasnt nearly enough shooting around him
Nets are just going to have to be content with joel averaging 30+ in this series and then try to shutdown the guys helping him. You cant afford to leave snipers wide open all night
Last year, Embiid made a comment about how Toronto doesn't care about winning, just shutting down the opponents star player. And it seems like the Nets are trying to do the same thing. Their strategy hasn't worked in two games, and they aren't even trying to disguise their coverage. You can't just double immediately upon a catch a 7 foot guy who can pass over you. Hopefully they try something else in the next few games.
Thanks for this! I know now that I aint alone on thinking the same about this playoff matchup. Im literally rewatching Game 2 now and been thinking the same thing since Game 1. They kinda messed up with the turnovers and missed many 3s this time but Brooklyn's game plan is quite similar. I think Harden needs to look to score more. Im sure he still has it in him if he really wants to put up 30 every night when Embiid is being played with such a defensive coverage. If Philly wants to beat the Celtics, they gotta find ways on getting buckets without having to rely on Maxey putting up 30 every game and them shooting the lights out. That team in Boston is probably the only thing standing between them and that Larry OB.
I’ve seen you on twitter alot and agree with your takes, will definitely subscribe already one of my favorite Bball personalities. Only one thing, I’d really appreciate if you remove the music as it is quite distracting. Pure ball and the commentary would be much more palatable. Thank you!
I agree that it’s the most interesting series, I ultimately landed on Golden State just because of experience but as I said in my last video it’s a complete wildcard. Anyone acting like Sacramento would just get walked all over was completely off base.
Honestly I would still send doubles and make him give up the ball if I’m the Nets. Let Tobias Harris kill me im fine with it. I think the most important thing about this is playing the mind game and frustrating him. He’s noticeably upset in G1 yk just keep pissing him off and he might start to force a lot of things that’s the Nets only chance defensively
Double him evertine I'd the brst way sure sixers made record on threes but look st second gane 94 points nets just don't git team to beat sixers others do Boston needs to double evertime like nets did embid gets frustrated
Exactly my man. Looking back from his improvement coming into the league, I'm so glad Philly has him as our crown jewel from the process, unlike another drama queen who is supposed to be playing.
He's gotten so much better as a passer it may not lead to a direct assist but it does lead to points
Yeah, just reading the double and putting the defense into rotation leads to so much easy offense for the guys around him.

Hockey assist
Best player in the world
Get to the conference finals first.

@@linkonedgell894 that’s such a stupid argument. Half the time great players don’t get rings because of bad moves by the franchise

I useto think KD was the most underguardable player but dam Embiid has everything and is actually 7ft
This is the biggest area Joel and the Sixers have improved this season, for most of Embiid's career this type of defense worked well because he wasnt a very good passer and there wasnt nearly enough shooting around him
Agreed, lots of tough decisions to make now regarding coverage on Joel.
And playing with a point guard who refused to shoot didn't help either.
@@magmax76 IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING HAVING BEN NOT SHOOT THE BALL OR BE AGGRESSIVE... GLAD THOSE DAYS ARE BEHIND US

@@Golgo1412 he saying they should drop the current gameplan of doubling Joel and let him get his buckets
@@Golgo1412 learn how to read so your comprehension can improve

Appreciate the feedback!
They re turning him into jokic
2:04 how does the ref miss that travel?
Nets need ROTY Simmons at center
Who do you have in Kings vs Warriors? I think that's the most interesting series in round 1

LETS GO 76ers
EMBIID FOR 3 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The 21 made threes in a playoff game is number 1 in sixers playoff history not number 2
Number 2 overall, not just in the playoffs.

I remember when Embiid was the worst passer in the history of the sport😂

…cuz he’s gonna flop 😏
did he flop in any of these clips?
