Trey Kirby

near dunks out of the post and early in the season it was like all they could do with him is get in the ball at the free throw line and see him do a couple of jab steps and knock down a mid-range jumper he's a good shooter from there so that was an easy way for him to score but you can tell he's feeling better about his body if he's going to be banging with these big dudes like a Clint Capella down inside he's also not dragging down their defense anymore I think that's the bigger issue for him because it does not look like he can move very well side to side but at least he's massive at least he rebounds so

they've done a really good job the sixers have of figuring out how to play with maxi as their number one guy edge come coming along paul george has just become a dirty work guy like i hate to say it but i'm starting to like paul george right now is he like like to me he's cool now he's turning into like a cooler maybe better still uh like nick batum sure right like what did you say doing all the dirty little work and yeah defense and can hit threes at times of

Starting the year, it felt like there was the team when Embiid was on the court and they had to figure out a way to fit him in.

And there was a team when Embiid was off the court and they would play faster and everything was more perimeter oriented.

Now they feel like a full team together.

So I'm impressed with Embiid and what the Sixers have done.

Exactly right.

Right?

He was playing it pretty cool at the beginning of the season as he was trying to get his legs underneath him.

He was not a trash talker at all.

He was just trying to fit in and as he's gotten...

more comfortable this season.

He's gotten more comfortable online as well.

Do you think Furkan Korkmaz follows Joel Embiid on Instagram?

I don't know.

I mean, he might have.

Maybe.

Yeah, I wonder if he stuck it out.

Honestly, that's pretty crazy.

I mean, when's the last time Embiid played over 40 minutes?
