Watched the last half of 76ers-Celtics... and now feel a bit better about the Cavs games
Celtics literally bulled directly into their defenders who had feet planted.. then pushed off with the forearm to gain space.. no calls
same thing Toronto is doing to Cavs and same no calls.. guess it's playoff time
Embid is beat to shit.. would not be surprised if he does not make it thru the next round.. even with the flopping.. it was a war down low
He's a major load.. huge dude who can shoot.. Cavs would have no answer for him.. too strong..

It will carry over, he will play but by the end of the game he couldn’t even jog. Between the multiple shots to the same knee and the effects of the appendectomy he had lass than a month ago, it’s unlikely he’ll play all the games, and even if he does, he won’t be his dominant self. There’s no way they can run their offense through him like they want to IMO

Don’t worry, they won’t have an answer for Brunson either, and that’s if they even make it past tonight.

Adam Silver says NBA to present '3-2-1' anti-tanking proposal
NBA commissioner Adam Silver confirmed on Stephen A. Smith's radio show Wednesday that the NBA has landed on a proposal to present to the league's board of governors later this month to revamp the draft lottery in an attempt to curb tanking."What we've essentially done, and we have a proposal that we're going to be bringing to our team owners at the end of May, and that is to create essentially a system of flat odds, so that you have no particular incentive to be bad," Silver said. "There's even something we're calling draft relegation, that if you're one of the bottom three teams in the league, you'll actually have worse odds than teams that sort of are four through up until teams make the playoffs.
"We're still playing a little bit with the system there."
The system -- the "3-2-1" system that ESPN first reported a couple of weeks ago -- would give the three worst teams a lower percentage chance of winning the lottery than the teams picking from fourth to 10th in an effort to curb the need for clubs to be as bad as possible to increase their chances of landing a high pick.
All four teams that jumped up in the lottery this year -- the Washington Wizards, Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls -- went out of their way to try to improve their draft position in the closing weeks of the season.
Silver also reaffirmed that the NBA would have the ability to discipline teams for overt tanking beyond what they have been able to do in the past. The league fined the Jazz $500,000 for "conduct detrimental to the league" earlier this season.
"And also ultimately additional authority for the league office that if we do see that type of behavior where there's a sense that teams aren't going all out to win, that we can actually take away draft lottery balls, we can change the order of the draft," Silver said. "Teams have to know it's not just about paying a financial fine, which they may think is worth it in order to get a top pick, but that it'll directly impact their ability to get a top draft pick."
League officials have told ESPN in recent days that the expectation was this proposal would be the one that is ultimately passed by the league this month. While some have wondered whether anything actually needs to change, there's also a near universal belief that something was going to be passed to change the system in light of how the past couple of drafts went.
The NBA has also reiterated this will be in place only through the 2029 season, when the new collective bargaining agreement will be in place, and that addressing tanking could be part of those negotiations as a result.

I hope this Wemby phenomenon in a weird way puts some respect back on Wilt Chamberlain too, because the knock I keep hearing from younger people who don't know shit is that "well he (Wilt) did all that just because he was a lot taller than everyone else". Well yes Wemby is 6 inches taller than most everyone...but this shit he can do is crazy. He's already passing like Wilt did at the end of his career too. He is indeed unreal.
