That was last years Bucks with best defense in the league at 104.9DRtg

The Sixers with Embiid on the floor are blowing those numbers out of the water.

Opponent ppg isn't a really good way to measure defense as it doesn't account for pace.

Ah gotcha, I don't take much into account with such little data though, I mean they're 3.6% into the season. Not saying it isn't good, just a small sample size is all

104.9 is the league avg as of right now? Sixers opponents average is 102.3? Idk what I'm reading here

Magic is the only team holding opponent ppg below 100

PPG allowed isn't a good way to judge a defense, because pace and amount of possessions plays into that heavily.

High pace teams are going to give opposing teams more scoring opportunities per game.

Only two players in NBA history had 8+ steals and 4+ blocks in their first 3 NBA games.

Michael Jordan and Matisse Thybulle.

Yeah no one cares. We all know how this plays out at the end. We all know Embiid starts to break down during the rigorous playoff schedule.

Good thing the Sixers have Al Horford on the roster too

That's why Kat had you in a head lock till Simmons bailed you out? You didnt do a damn thing but get on all fours and then you started punching air as if you got a K.O. 🤣🤣
