    There were three of those in about 10 seconds. I don't know if Deni got credited for the turnovers on all of them ... a couple of them were great passes and Ayton just didn't complete the catch. The passes were almost too good for him to handle. Wasn't expecting them.

    Oh, I know. Sometimes I just hope that he'll start acting like an adult instead of doing the shtick he does on here.

    There's nothing wrong with the occasional lob a few times a game, but I have never been a fan of force-feeding a center. Too many things can go wrong. I hated it when Dame did it with Nurk as well. A few times a game is great to keep the defense honest. But they seem to be overdoing it at times.

    Portland's '4-headed-56M-C-rotation' didn't do a very good job stopping Embiid

    When he's playing, and motivated, he is pert near unstoppable.

    Granted, he has his moments where he turns into a jellyfish, but not last night.

    sure

    still, last night he had a season high in points, FG%, and TS%. Blazer bigs were a get-well card dropped in Embiid's mailbox. And, a half-year after investing a 7th pick in a supposed next-to-generational-paint-defending-rim-protecting-C, they only played him 8.5 minutes

    Yeah watching Embiid break Toumani's ankle was something else

    I've noticed he's been kinda crappy since he came back from injury. I think it's either still an issue, or he's crashed head first into the rookie wall.

    They are young. We've done nothing to address their problems.

    There will be more days like this.

    It might get you a decent child support payment if you go bareback...
