    Did incredibly well guarding Embiid tonight. I'm proud of him.

    Free throws are off every time he shakes the damn ball before shooting. He needs to come set and then shoot.

    19 points is his Rubicon. Either he passes or benched. Should make that FT to reach 20.

    Embiid drops 41/10

    “Good job Alpy you really battled. If it wasn’t for Jalen we would have had this one”

    He's telling them they are collapsing on him. Man we need shooters more than anything at this point. Nobody respects our shooters.

    So I watched all of Embiid's made shots (you can just click on the made field goals for each player here: https://www.nba.com/game/hou-vs-phi-0022300555/box-score?type=traditional ) - he did indeed score 4x on Alpi (8 points - all long twos - Alpi contested them all, but not much you can do there). Didn't score on Jeff Green - the other field goals were against Amen (3x), Jalen (2x), Brooks (2x), Landale (1x). No dunks.

    Alpi scored 13 of his 19 points on Embiid (6 of his 7 field goals, including one three and one dunk).

    So yeah, @Verbal Christ - Embiid did most of his damage against others, and as far as the direct scoring matchup against each other, Alpi actually comes out ahead.

    Alpi also only had one non-shooting foul, so all the damage Embiid did from the line was not caused by Alpi either.

    Just facts.

    Nobody at this point is expecting Sengun to outplay embiid, that’s a dumb way to look at things. If he can hold his own that’s great

    All I did was post the stats of their direct interactions offense/defense in terms of made field goals on the court tonight.

    I also posted the link so you can watch for yourself if you want to.

    Embiid only scored 8 of his 41 points "on Sengun".

    Sengun scored 13 of his 19 points "on Embiid".

    I’m on your side in this, it’s a silly thing to even try to defend

    Let's not forget that we have been missing Tari. He is such an energy infuser and momentum shifter. I consider him our second-best young player behind Sengun, and probably third best player overall behind Sengun and FVV.
