20 minutes played and 0 4th quarter minutes again for Hali lol so obvious what Indy is doing
I think teams should play guys less minutes more often during strings of back to backs. Just seems to make sense.

They didn’t play yesterday. Just trying to make sure he play 20 mpg and 65 teams to make all nba

My only beef with it ( outside of tonight) is you possibly cost yourself wins in the previous games by not finding 4-5 minutes in the 4th out of the 20-22 minutes you are playing him

Playing with fire in my opinion if it’s because he is still hurt.

He got to be. As I said a few days ago, I feel confident in saying he wouldn’t be playing if this was last season. No need for these minutes restrictions for a guy who missed like 10 days

Well if 20 minutes is the new load management that’s better than no minutes in my opinion. I fail to see what the team gets out of it though. I do think teams should pull players earlier though against bad teams.

The officiating down the stretch in this one has been pure shit.

I am not defending Perkins take at all.

I am clapping back at yours.

You made it seem like any meniscus injury is not a big deal.
Perkins made a stupid hot take. I called it that. You got your panties in a twist. End of story

I forgot Embiid also missed the Big 12 and NCAA tournament with a back fracture. That's gotta play into his awkward profile.

What the hell do they mean by “combined”? This would be like me winning a race in 17 minutes and then saying that I beat the rest of the field who finished 19 minutes combined. It makes no sense. Does that mean that one player average 7 points, one player averaged 10, and an other player averaged 6, and the other player averaged one and that adds up to 24? Basically only Tree Rollins, Vince Carter, etc. have played 21 seasons in therefore you can add their season averages together.

Maybe you should go back and read.

You the one with twisted panties.

And you are also the only person who thinks a torn meniscus is not a big deal for a 7’2 human with a significant injury history.

Hell, the 1 6er fan here thinks they should shut Embiid down too.

I’m not sure that it is.

Seems pretty short sighted to me.

Again also didn't recall this was the same knee has meniscus removed on roughly 7 years ago.

It would be amazing if we saw him in one injury free year. His best shot came with Kawhi year...

I would set the likelihood at less than 50 percent at this point...in fact if it was me I'd find a reason to shelve him until next March (if he can't play this year) and ramp him up for playoffs


That would mean Philly would have to use that draft capital so they are at least a play in team.
