They were doubling embiid, thats why they played oneal instead of claxton for long stretches

Next time watch the game I guess

what did i say that was wrong?

Yeah, it's funny you say that...

Joel Embiid’s 13 first-half defensive rebounds are tied for the most defensive rebounds by a player in the first half of a playoff game in at least the last 25 years. He ended up with 15 first half boards.

So yeah, record numbers.


Nets trapped him all game again. Claxton would never be trusted to defend Embiid 1 on 1, but then again nobody in the league can.

I never said anything about reb's. I said he only scored 8 points. He scored 12 more points but for being so much bigger than anyone on the nets it was a really poor performance.

kings kinda beast tbh.

Did you not watch the game? Clearly didn't?

Nets trap Embiid every time he touches the ball. Two or three defenders run at him, every single time. That's why he gets to ball at the FT line elbow, because it makes it harder to double and triple.

But all of those doubles opened up good looks for others. Nets have no answer for Embiid other than to throw everyone at him and let someone else shoot wide open jumpers lol

how is the favorite for MVP gonna get trapped by 2 scrawns? Jokic would of ate all the fat.

Nets can’t trap him right or are not quick enough

They got away from trapping in the 4th and Embiid hit like 4 shots in a row.

They went back to trapping after that lol
