I'll never understand how teams have so much trouble getting the ball across half court. Come on LA, someone set a screen, someone cut back for a pass 😑

Joel Embiid comes back to hobble Sixers. The process's sad ending.
Joel's entire career has been kind of sad. Guys played over 60 games only 4x his his entire career, over 65 only 2x, never been past the 2nd round in the playoffs.

I was too glued to the game I forgot to comment here lol. But anyway, Spurs are showing their maturity and adaptability these past 2 games. But of course, you can’t keep doing that (being down bad in the first half and surging ahead in the second). That’s not gonna work against teams like OKC.
Wemby was kinda holding back in the first half, probably afraid of getting concussed again, which is totally understandable. But dude went all out in the second, defensive masterclass. And Fox finally showed up.
Spurs need to wrap this up next game so they get more time to rest.
Obviously I’m a Spurs fan lol.
Its looking pretty good for the Spurs. Either they play the Wolves with no Ant-man or an exhausted Joker after a 7-game series.
