Sucks as he has been the most exciting player to watch, but they were probably getting eliminated by red hot GSW either way.
I keep asking myself if it's possible, but his dunk about a week ago really might be the greatest I've ever seen.
The reaction to Philly going down 0-2 without Embiid was hilariously off. I saw a show on ESPN where they were debating whether it would be a sweep of if they'd lose 4-1. Everybody knew he was coming back. They lost two road games without probably the second best player on the planet. Will not be surprised at all if the series is tied 3-3 one way or another, seems more likely than either team winning in 6. This is a coin flip series. Had they gone down 0-2 losing two home games I could have seen everybody writing them off.
I was watching talking heads on tv and radio and thinking "they know Embiid is coming back and they haven't lost a home game yet right?"
You'd have thought they lost two home games with him the way they were talking guaranteed sweep. Maybe I'm biased because Miami has always been one of the few teams I regularly dislike but the teams are 2 games apart in regular season record.
He's exciting to watch, but he'll be lucky if he makes it 3 years with the way he throws his body around the court.
That reminded me so much of ISU basketball just sitting on leads and slowing the offense down to let the opponent back in. Just run your offense Boston.
