Bro Embid elevated his game on so many levels I remember he couldn’t or they wouldnt allow him to play back to back games to conditioning himself to this version is remarkable but he need to team up with Lillard cause harden ain’t it

If Jokic cared a bit more about the MVP trophy, this one would have been much more better for Embiid. 😅

Celtics winning the east. Joel dropped 50 in game when Brown doesn’t play to only hang on to survive. Don’t see Boston losing the east.
