Embiid has to get better w/ ball handling skills. If I see another steal on him I will scream on this TV

I’m happy for Embiid. Definitely the biggest win of his career so far and after all the injuries and abuse from the C’s it’s got to feel nice!

Confidence does weird things. Knicks are favorites but Philly could be dangerous for sure. I’m good with either winning and winner of that series makes the finals IMO.

Philly better remember the 138-89 shallacking they got from New York...That should be enough motivation.

do we need to revisit the whole Embiid vs Jokic thing. I was surprised at these numbers...

Head to head matchup is one thing, but Embiid hasn’t even made it out of the 2nd round before in the much weaker conference.

that's true. For me it was never even an argument. But when you consider the random injuries he's had in the playoffs, it does add some context. I'm not about to say that Embiid is the better player, but I have to confess... this has made me understand it's not as clear cut as I thought given the numbers. But! But... as we both know.. I'm a championship over numbers guy, so I'm going to remain consistent :D
