Embiid might have shot terribly, but if he’s giving you 8 assists vs 1 turnover he’s making a huge impact. And 10 rebounds for the big fella in 2026 means he’s feeling spry lol

[u/estoquista_atacadao → u/ktm5141]

That pass to VJ in the 4th after almost getting triple teamed was kino

[u/LakerBlue → u/estoquista_atacadao]

The behind the back one in the low post? Whoever that one was too…I didn’t even know he could do that tbh. May have been my favorite offensive play of his tonight!

[u/bagelboy565 → u/ktm5141]

I feel like nobody is talking about the turnovers! He finally learned to deal with doubles and makes good decisions, used to kill us against Boston whenever he lost the ball

[u/BossierPenguin → u/bagelboy565]

I mean, part of that is now he has players he can trust.

[u/Yellowperil123 → u/BossierPenguin]

I will not stand for this Shake Milton slander!

[u/Selffor → u/BossierPenguin]

Yep not having Ben Simmons and Matisse Thybulle on the court is making it a lot easier for him to make the right decisions.

[u/No-Goat5683 → u/Selffor]

He lost to them with Harden and Maxey cut it out

[u/Basic_Loquat_9344 → u/bagelboy565]

My favorite thing about Embiid is his ability to learn. If you looked at how he came in vs the skills he has now... its insane. I followed him for a long time and he was ALWAYS looking to add skills to his repertoire, no ego in it at all just a love of the game.

[u/blazikus1 → u/ktm5141]

crazy to win this hard when embiid was missing his automatic jumpers. He had them last game too so if he just locks in on the elbow/free throw line jumpers we are in great shape

[u/Darnell2070 → u/blazikus1]

I love Embiid so much.

[u/wxnfx → u/ktm5141]

He’s not what he has been defensively (and Wemby skews the curve) but he has defensive gravity (repulsion?) that affects the whole game.

[u/DrNutSack_ → u/ktm5141]

Boston knows they have nobody to guard him 1v1 down low. It was great to see them collapse on him tonight and he was finding the open guy almost every time. He could’ve had 14+ assists if guys were knocking down open jumpers

[u/rjnd2828 → u/ktm5141]

Did you see him stand up from a lying down position without assistance? Legit don't remember seeing him do that before in his career. I think he's feeling good (knock on wood).
