Marcus Thompson

If he can do that consistently, this league needs people who can finish inside. Like that's, it's paramount. And if he can do it, I actually, I actually like Kaminga as a, as a solid NBA role player. You know, the crazy part is his dad is Dale Davis. Like he needs to tap into the file. You know what I'm saying? It's happened. Yeah. Pops will knock it out in these streets. You know what I'm saying?

Right.

Right.

Right.

I mean, he looked like Embiid, right? He looked slow, but he looked like he could move when he wanted to. To me, the biggest issue with Embiid physically was defensive. Like, they just... fill him out in a paint like it's a rat. That's just where he is. He looks like the same Embiid he's looked like for the last couple of years where mobility is going to be an issue.

He has actually a pretty good first step for a dude with, like, a transformer knee. But it feels like he was catching guys off guard. He was drawing fouls just with the quick sudden move, man, the spin back. But you just don't see any of that on defense. I think that was one of the big problems tonight. Like, defensively, he's just not the force he used to be.

And I do feel like that's a matter of physical. Because you can just pull him out the paint and That's pretty much it. I mean, if he's at the rim and you go there, he'll block it. But you can work around it in that sense because you can see he's saving kind of his eggs for the offensive end. Well, that's how you get the MVP.

Yeah, I don't think it fits. I'm a big... I really like Paul George. He's one of my favorite players to watch because when he's playing both ends, he's actually really good.

With the Clippers, yeah. I loved watching him guard clay. Just the way he gets into you. He's, to me, engaging on both ends of the court in a way that is appealing, I think. Aesthetically, he's a pleasing basketball player to watch. But they just got too many dudes who need the rock. It just doesn't work. He's not really an off-ball player.

You would think as an older player, like he was spot up more, but it's a lot of ISO. It's a lot of ball pounding. And even the French guy, the big guy, like he's another one. That's like four dudes. Yeah, I was telling you. Yeah, I was telling you. That's like four dudes who were like, give me the ball. I mean, they're all very cookie monstering with the rock, right?
