Bro, these are Playoff Grimes and Quick percentages. That is rough but at least he is taking all the attention so Hart and the other guys can get better looks.

I dont see him taking a ton of bad shots. He always forces a couple but it looks like he's just not getting the roll and waiting for them to drop. He's been great on defense and finding guys, and he's still hitting some big shots late in both games.
To me we are really seeing solid roster creation because we are winning without a real 2nd option (that WOULD be Jules). I also think Brunson is doing what we need. He's gotta keep punching.

Randle would have dominated in spots this series. Too bad. But thats why I am not upset with Brunson this team is missing it's 1A option. I think if he was here he would be first option. While Brunson would score more as he controls the ball but imagine Philly without one of Embid or Maxey. We punching above our weight abit

exactly.. Randle would be drawing Tobias or a guard. ONE of them would be cooking. That's it.
No excuses. We doing great. Boys are fighting. Phili has been better than I expected.

The 76ers are going to cut his career short. Putting the playoffs aside he should not be playing. He already came back fast from the surgery which mean they just cut out the torn meniscus. Now playing on it while it is not healed will make things even worse down the road.
He's a fantastic player. Amazing how he does things so well at his size. His coordination. His shot. His vision. I admire the heart to be out there hobbling, but I agree. They should shut him down before they ruin his next season. He can't protect himself with the weakness in that knee. One of those jumps is going to land awkward again and he won't be as lucky as game 1. No shame in resting the bum knee.
Different era, but I expect Lakers fans would've said the same thing about Reed playing in that famous game 7.
Listened to Hahn on the radio the other day, and the idea came up that the Sixers would've given Embiid off game 2 if they had taken game 1. Makes sense to me, but why can't we assume that Embiid wants to continue playing, especially if his doctors say he won't injure himself any more?
I see this as a player + doctor decision, & I think Embiid is the driving force behind him playing.
BTW, compare Philly & Embiid to Dallas last year, when Cuban basically had them lose in order to stay out of the play-in system so they could get a better draft slot.

I think overall Embiids knee is in pretty good shape after surgery and he’s just tentative. I think the biggest issue with him is he is really out of shape.

Definitely not in the best shape. I also assume he's leaning on his medical team to give him the truth about whether he can seriously re-injure himself & put next year's season in jeopardy by playing.

I'm seeing both conditioning and knee issues. In close-ups his left knee is showing to be swollen compared to his right knee, it is also getting worked on / massaged while he is on the bench. He's in obvious discomfort and as the games wear on his limp becomes more noticeable.

Lots of interesting stuff all over, really loved what Fred offers up stating around 52:15 about Thibs

Apparently this is what being on the other side feels like? I can dig it.
At end of the day, losers find a way to lose and winner find a way to win. Embiid has been riding the "bad luck" excuse the minute he's played in the post-season. JB, Hart and Donte have shown how deep their willing to go for the win since college. Talent is good, but it means nothing without the mentality. Imagine the shame Rocky would feel watching these pussies representing the City of Brotherly Love. I wouldn't blame Iverson if he wanted to disown them. As for the Embiid/Knicks rumors:

Its been reported the knee is structurally stable and its a pain issue.

Nick briefly motions for time out while Lowry still has possession but Lowry then tosses it in. Nurse also motion for timeout when Maxey is on the floor with the ball. I'd say both instances last for about .5 seconds. Not sure how fast the refs are supposed to react. Nurse had ample opportunity to call timeout before Lowry inbounded the ball. I didn't see any players calling for it. I think usually the refs just look at the guy inbounding.
1) I hear you on the assistant coach. Easy to mistake that. 2) I don't agree on the timeout before the inbounds. He has his hands up, slightly separated but looks like he is waiting to see what happens there first. Its a giveaway that he pulls his hands down once the ball is in the air. 3) Ball is deflected on the inbound, making it a loose ball. No timeouts until possession is clear. 4) Nurse tries to call time out while Maxey is on the ground. Its possible he has possession, but not definitive.
Comparing these two, you can understand the caution.
