IDK what Russo is talking about… Embiid and Jokic guarded each other for over half of their shots in that game. Embiid pulled shot two three pointers in Jokic’s face and posted up on him numerous times because of switches. It was a super exciting game. Russo just likes to yell and complain about the new NBA any chance he gets. This is the same guy who thinks that Wilt and Bob Cousy would be dominant today as they were back in the 50s and 60s.

How is mad dog that stupid that he doesnt realize why the coaches didnt have them guard each other.
Embiid didnt guard jokic because jokic wouldve dragged him out to 3pt line & the paint would be wide open.
jokic didnt guard Embiid because he wouldve been in foul trouble. Both coaches were EXTREMELY wise for this decision & its what made the game a good watch. Had they been matched up entire game they’d both been in foul trouble and it wouldve been a boring a$$ game to watch

mad dog is crazy. there is no way he us revolving the Sixers and Denver game about the match up between embiid and jokic and not about winning git. They weren’t playing on each other because they wanted to put pressure up top and jokic/emmbiid can sit back and rim protect

Embiid and Jokic played defense against the finals of defending the paint to staying healthy when he is in the game

If Philly even whiffs the conference finals this year, Nick Nurse needs to be recognized as one of the best coaches in sports.

They need a 4th guy, Denver Boston OKC and Milwaukee all have 4 guys, Philly has 3.

76ers has not made it past 2nd round since like what, 20 years ago? Since mr. Trust the process started, he has done nothing in the playoffs except lose and choke

Embiid is faul merchant and he doesn’t get those calls in playoffs so 2nd round exit 😂😂😂
