    floater is not a "classic" shot, so thats way i use the term "throw", cause youre not shooting the ball, youre throwing the ball

    same way, layup is not a "shot", although it qualifies as a shot, just like dunk or floater

    Embiid looks like he's double Giles size.

    embiid right now reminds me of us back in the day with zach randolph. all the stats he wants, but 0 impact on the scoreboard. it's taking them out of their offense even if he hits more than half their shots

    Embiid is a MVP contender. ZBo was not.

    Personally I'd go with "toss". It suggests less effort than "throw". Or possibly even just a nice generic "put up".

    yes i know. i don't live under a rock.

    i'm talking this half. his impact is minimal. unless he starts playing defense or getting our guys in foul trouble, he doesn't do much toward them winning

    We could be up 10 if we'd hit the easy ones.

    Our defense, except against Embid, is pretty darned good. Of course, they don't see a reason to let anyone else shoot. :)

    They are all shots...shot selection....shot a layup, a freethrow, a layup.....you do say toss up or put up a floater whoever brought that up but a floater is part of your shot selection...shooter gonna shoot.

    they have great shooters (curry/harris/green). no one is seeing the ball with embiid taking every shot. his usage this half is insane
