All them fucking stats and Jokeic's Q4 plus minus for the entire SEASON was -2?.
And the fugazi analytics indicate he is a better defender then Embid, which calls into question the entire analytics field IMO. . Jokeic couldn't guard me on a P&R
Jesus Christ, how is he gonna get fouled standing at the high post dishing?
Completely different games. You gotta take it to the rack to get fouled, and Jokic's foot work is about as good as the old guys I play with at the local park.
He gets a lot of whistles jumping into a guy standing there with his arms straight up, I am not saying it was 35 points of bad officiating but the call on Green was whack. He was just literally standing there with his arms straight up, he didn't reach or rake his arms, he just stood there.
I cant believe after game 4, they didn't work on getting Embid a decent entry pass instead of repeatedly chucking it out of bounds.
Embid should be scoring every trip down the floor being fronted by a smaller guy
It's not that fucking difficult LOL. Embid seals and you lob it to the post...
I will admit I am not a sixers die hard, watching every game, but, how the fuck did Thybulle get this rep as a defensive clamp, he spent the entire game chasing a guy blowing past him?
Playing the game to make sure Embid scored 30 a game prevents those guys from getting minutes, no?
Had those guys gotten minutes, Embid would have been sitting up 19 in that Raptors game.
Had guys gotten minutes perhaps someone develops and bench isn't complete trash.
I feel like if the stupid coach gave him minutes in the regular season, he would be more acclimated to the speed of the game and not foul so much, but that ship sailed.
I really dont like complaining about officiating, but If Siakam was officiated correctly he would have the same stat line as me and foul out in the 2nd quarter.
The lack of energy leads to everyone standing around the perimeter like a pentagon.
My son had that same thumb injury from football, it hurts like a motherfucker when it first happens then you kind of get acclimated to it. Caused him to get an A- rather than an A in American Sign Language LOL
Embid didnt camp out at the 3 pt line like in the losses and the OT win, the formula for beating this team was always taking the ball to the rack, dumping it into Embid and kicking it out to an open shooter when the defense colapses on Embid, not sure why they got away from that after the 2...
I am saying it is funny that an old white dude didn't care about all the hip hop stuff, he didnt give a shit what he wore, said or did, when it came time to play he was going 100 miles per hour and Pop recognized that.
He is just old school basketball guy fundimentals and what not...for all the Jokic dick riding about lack of help even pop said that AI led Sixer team was Allen and 4 guys to rebound for him and he drug that slop to the finals
