Jusuf Nurkic puts Embiid on blast

[MR. Conclusion]

An ATG center and top 10 player would still be elite now?

I dunno how I'd feel about Lakers Shaq having to guard these guys at the three point line or getting involved in PnR though

I think Orlando Shaq would be scary as fukk right now though. Defense, athleticism, durability, and that physical dominance

There's no need to worry about Shaq guarding players on the perimeter. Those guys will be too busy on the bench picking up 3 fouls in the first half guarding him.

Still don't know why philly didnt just keep giving the ball to embiid until Nurkic committed a foul. I mean I get it Nurkic did start forcing some turnovers and shut him down on the block but eventually he would have fouled out. Then the blazers would have had to put in davis who was sitting at 4 fouls...So he could been another quick lick to get rid of, since davis was out rebounding and killing him in the post. But with Nurkic and Davis out of the way he would have feasted off the rest of the blazers.....

Yeah the sixers execution leaves something to be desired ...but even with that said ...they did start feeding him the ball later in the fourth and that nikka was forcing up wild ass shots and getting swatted huffin and puffin and shyt

 

[Serious]

Don't sully LMA name putting Embiid in the same breath as him :grippingafrancis:

Aldridge has led the spurs in scoring more games than Embiid has total games playd this year :sippinafrancis:

you're comparing apples and oranges now...
Embiid is average 24pts compared to LMA = 22pts
11

Yeah he was hot from 3 .... the sixers are a team that I said as long as they keep it within 5 Games of .500 by February they are going to be fine ...so young and with all of the lineup changes it’s going to take them time to settle with each other

Eh, a lot of how Shaq played would be call offensive fouls too. Y'all acting like refs ain't mad strict with big dudes dislodging guys off the block like Shaq did.

Again, Shaq would be the most dominant player in the league and all but unstoppable but his size, his injury prone body, his disdain for keeping his body in peak physical shape? how much more movement and activity is required defensively, and you'd definitely see teams just say "Match his 2s with 3s and involve him in the PnR".

Embiid needs to work on his conditioning. He was about to fall out in the 3rd quarter of the Knicks game.

nikka I'm not a sixers stan

But you got to be blind or blatantly biased to not see the kids potential

 

[Malta]

Stanning out of shape centers is what we doing now

If he's doing this out of shape and on bambi legs, what happens when the Young Gawd gets right?

At least he doesn't have a lisp and didn't leave The Great One out in the cold to fight young lions by himself

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Average talent players get excited AF when they have a little game against the elite of the elite

Nurkic is maybe the biggest shyt talker in the league, he's gone at better players than Embiid with no fukks given.

Yeah that sounds great and all, but I'm gonna roll with Shaq.

 

[ALonelyDad]

No lies were told, Embiid's biggest issue is stamina because he doesn't practice but I do understand why Sixers are holding him back. They mentioned it on Inside The NBA that he should do those pool cardio exercises if he already doesn't do them

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Shaq would dismantle all these current Centers

draymond would shut him down
