Embiid

I’ll admit I’d been taking him for granted lately. (Ho hum, another 30-and-10 game.) Tonight after a slow start, he came through in the clutch to hit that game-winning trey against the Raptors, on an off night for Harden. Now he’s even got the TNT postgame crew shouting his praises and comparing him to Hakeem and Shaq. That’s some rarified air. Going for the sweep on Saturday and a chance to rest up for the next round.

WOW what can you say about our Boy. - Jo Jo just a beast how clutch was that and nothing but net - Awesome Jo Jo -ALWAYS A JAYHAWK

Looks like Joel’s thumb held up well enough tonight. 33 points and 10 boards as the Sixers blow out Toronto by 35 and move on to the next round. Harden stepped up too with 22 points and 15 assists.
Heard a bit of hyperbole about him by the NBA TV crew though…“You are looking at the evolution of the game of basketball.”
Hmmm…Miami may have something to say about that.
-
Joel got hammered by an elbow to the face and is out indefinitely.
-
Ouch. 2nd orbital fracture of his career. Needs to stop sticking his face out, or something
-
Yet another injury, at the worst possible time. You have to wonder what Doc Rivers was thinking when he kept Embiid on the court that late in a blowout.

They were up 29 points with 4 minutes left. Dirty play, imo.
-
It’s all dirty! Embiid too.

He’s back ! Sixers win by 20. Jo Jo with 18 points, 11 rebounds in his return. Harden got 17 and the other starters stepped up.
Cool mask. Willis Reed meets Zorro.

I was just getting ready to comment, just saw the hi lights - Jo Jo & the sixers cut it to a 2-1 lead for the heat. - Sixers had to have this game in Philly - -but by 20 ?- dam did a number , let’s win the next one even this thing up
-
Philly wins again. Series tied at 2 each.
Embiid looked good, but Harden was unconscious from three down the stretch for a total of 31.
A little Jayhawk-on-Jayhawk crime in this one…Markieff Morris came into the game for a few minutes in the 3rd quarter, his first appearance in over a month. He promptly got a Wilson sandwich when Jo Jo blocked him.
Next game in Miami Tuesday. Sixers still need an away win to take the series.
-
Watched the game, was Awesome - Philly needed that - -Joe Joe strong 24 points - -but actually it was Harden that carried them last night- hit some HUGE shots late.
Joe Joe Monster in your face block against Markieff last night to former Jayhawks going at one another. - -Didn’t realize there was so many former BIG 12 players in this playoff. - -Joe ,Joe - - Niang - - P J Tucker & another for Miami I think I counted those 4
