Why is Embiid shooting 7 three pointers? He needs to forget about being the seasons MVP and just play to his strengths in the paint. This means not taking so many shots, and let the offense run through other guys more often.

need the D to respect the players at the perimeter.

until Ben is doing it regularly need JoJo to continue

Ben with one of those frustrating games. Just shoot the ball ffs. Who gives a s**t if you miss it.

Agree, his game plan is so predictable at the moment he just runs straight to the paint, if he cant get through he just throws the ball out to a perimeter player.

He actually does NEED a three point shot for his game and the teams, the amount of times his been in the open for the three.

Bens one of those players that if his assists are on he feels as though he is contributing to the team.

On a side note Paul Pierce said Simmons had peaked from his rookie year. Hopefully Ben proves everyone wrong.

Ben's no look 33 foot three pointer with 6 seconds on the clock was strange, had options, strange game all round really.

Only box-scored games for the past month cause of logistics, but mostly cause I don't really care about November basketball.

Still, team looks mostly okay...offense is gonna take some time, ben is having a weird start...but overall it's not much of anything to get worked up on, nor will anything about this team until at earliest mid-Jan.

Will take Embiid's worst ever game, one in which they should still have won, to happen now then in May.

Also, if you're still in the 'they should have kept Butler' camp, get the * off it. J-Rich is perfect.

Downright bizarre! They still had a TO as well. His shooting phobia is a serious problem.

Never said anything about Bens defense. It has been great all year. I was talking about his lack of scoring in final quarters where at times he just stands there and just clogs up space.

He was great today. Went 7-7 from the free throw line as well.
