If all eastern conference playoff teams take the let Embiid get his and shut everyone else down approach, Embiid’s body will eventually break down over the course of the playoffs.
Nah. You do what y’all did by being extra aggressive with double/triple teams. Having him go 1-1 and hoping he misses is not ideal especially in the post. He’s gonna have plenty of time to rest at the FT line
 
This isn’t the same Embiid from 17-18 and 18-19. He’s in much better shape and not dealing with any injuries. Y’all gonna be in a rude awakening expecting him to be gassed and thinking you can steal games that way
 
The top 4 teams are Philly, Nets, Lakers and Clippers and their main guys are kinda made of glass. Hopefully they all remain healthy .
 
Beal is playing on one leg. Green will start on him and then Thigh-Bull takes over towards the end. Simmons will stay on Westbrook

Dame shouldn't be saying this type of thing publicly because he sounds bitter but he's not wrong. The media seems to shift the criteria to suit who they want.

I remember the "his team isn't winning enough" narrative used against Kobe when he averaged 35 and drag that awful Lakers team to the seven seed.

In 2015, Hardin had a better statistical season than Curry but didn't win MVP because his team didn't win as much as the Warriors. Then in 2017, hardens team was much better than Russell Westbrook's but Westbrook won MVP because of his dominant statistics.



this guy dame always makes it about himself

if isaiah thomas didnt exist dame would be the biggest ***** to ever play in the nba
 
That’s how Russ gonna guard Simmons ? Who’s gonna be in the dunkers spot? Lol

put Rui on Embiid. Put your center on Simmons so he can clog up stuff. Feels like having your length in help side has worked better than playing guys straight up. Gotta play Rui at the 3 and Bertans at the 4.


This ain’t going to work though.
 
Try to front Embiid and hide your C on Simmons as the help. None of these guys can throw an entry pass too

So who’s chasing Green? Bertans or Russ? Because you don’t wanna risk Green getting hot with Westbrook chasing rebounds in the paint. And if you start Bertans, who’s chasing Sous Chef around?

That ain’t gonna work, you gonna see nothing but Simmons/Tobias DHO to force the switch. Now you got Tobias 1-1 vs your C on the perimeter and if you don’t switch, Tobias gonna post up whoever is on him

Russ on green. Neither of them is moving.
beal on curry. Beal will at least try
Rui on Tobias.
bertans on Embiid. He’s never guarding him 1 on 1 so relax.
center on Simmons. DO NOT GUARD HIM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE

In theory that works, then you have Simmons setting screens at the top for Sous Chef. If you don’t come out that’s wide open 3s for the 2nd best 3pt shooter in NBA history. If you do trap, Simmons on the short roll. Big Dray SZN

I’m not worried about Ben Simmons doing anything in the half court. Just switch that
 
This is Scott “no adjustments” Brooks we’re talking about. He’s gonna walk out there with Russ, Beal, and Neto and proceed to get cooked in the half-court because they’re too small. I’ll be shocked if Bertans starts.
