So far they've forced a switch nearly every possession.

Luka eating Harris and Green alive.

But Dallas has no answer to Embiid.

Simmons has started on Doncic every possession.

Dallas forcing the switch.

Forearm to the face might slow him down.

Well... Boban found and answer.... A tomahawk chop across the face seems to do it

Haha.. Beat me to it....

That's and F1 if it doesn't happen to a monster like Embiid.

So Harris was originally guarding Kleber? Because that's the only possible switch there, as Harris was on Luka on that first play, with Simmons on Kleber.

How terrible is MCW. Missed two free throws, gets his own rebound and is fouled again to miss both of those as well

ballhawkdawk · 04-12-2021, 07:56 PM

Embiid simply too beast.

That one play where Doncic kept Simmons on his back, navigated to his spot, and threw the scoop pass oop... to have that kind of mastery of the court already, I’m looking forward to seeing what his prime looks like.

Here it is. Opening possession for the Mavs

Simmons picks up Luka at half court and Kleber comes on the pick

So Harris was guarding Kleber. Interesting that Embiid was on Finney-Smith.

Yea..

It was off a missed shot... so it's possible they had the wrong match-ups.. or they just switch to Harris on him when he goes to set the pick

ballhawkdawk · 04-12-2021, 08:39 PM

Dwight Howard just committed four fouls in like two minutes. Cmon, man. If the refs aren’t letting you be a goon tonight then don’t keep doing it.

Man... just finished watching the Philly/Dallas game.

That game turned into an a$$whooping.

I'm telling you, a healthy 76ers team gives major matchup problems to all the top teams in the NBA.

imbluestreak23 · 04-12-2021, 10:31 PM

I watch Jokic and think, that's the most talented big man I've ever seen.

I watch Embiid and think, that's the most talented big man I've ever seen.

Would love to see a 7 game series between these two.

Casual NBA fans would hate Philly vs Denver in the Finals.

Hardcore NBA fans would love Philly vs Denver in the Finals.

Yeah and it shows that defense is a thing still. Lakers, Philly and the Bucks are still great there.

We've been saying for years that if Embiid becomes that guy that can close games then they'll contend. Here we are.

I like them to come out of the East. But we'll see. I also think Milwaukee are primed even though I'm not all in on them as much.

Those 2 are incredible. The Joker does it in so many different ways. I think if Embiid plays well his team dominates whereas with Jokic I think he needs to be great pretty much every night for some reason.

I kinda wanna see Lakers vs Philly for some reason.

hairyangryfella · 04-12-2021, 10:59 PM

Nuggets three straight turnovers to end the 3rd. Getting smacked around by GS. So poor.

Then again, the reffing is questionable as always. Not sure why Morris got a tech for JTA being pissy about him being near him after he hung and swung on the rim...

abidtsteele · 04-12-2021, 11:00 PM

Steph dropping 60 tonight?

ninjacookies · 04-12-2021, 11:10 PM

Poop. They might not put him back in if this lead keeps up.

regularp · 04-12-2021, 11:15 PM

Curry's still the best player in the league.
