Hey, guess what? Embiid is just as dynamic on defense. Per Second Spectrum, when he was the closest defender to a play this season, he limited opposing players to an effective field goal percentage of 41 percent, best in the NBA. The Sixers vaulted from a good interior D (No. 9 in the NBA) to the league's best with Embiid on the court.

Benches get shorter in the playoffs, and that ... bodes well for the Sixers: When their five starters shared the floor this season, the Sixers outscored teams by an absurd 21.4 points per 100 possessions, tops in the NBA, and comparable to the two most recent champs.

Embiid's impact can't be overstated. With Embiid on the court, the Sixers had the scoring margin of a 68-win team this season -- which would have given them the best record in the NBA. When he was on the bench, though, the Sixers played like a 34-win team, and that includes their 16-game winning streak to end the regular season. And last year, with Embiid playing, the Sixers projected to be a 52-win team. Without him, Philly was a 21-win team. Think Brett Brown wants to give him plenty of burn this postseason?


Lmao i HIGHLY doubt they are a 21 win team without embid.
