Didn't see it. I think Embiid is carrying an injury, only looked his normal self one game this series.
I assume Simmons is still being played a bit out of position as Jimmy Butler has been spending a lot of time at PG.
Don't know if Brown is the right man for the job, I didn't even rate him that highly when he coached in the NBL.
Embiid has been injured and Simmons isn’t good enough. At his size he needs to be able to shoot otherwise good teams just sag off him and can defend him inside where as the lower teams aren’t good enough to do that. It’s why his stats against the better teams and defensive teams is no where as good as they are against the bottom sides. All well and fine going after butler and Harris but philly have no bench now and it’s coming back to hurt them.
