Joel Embiid's participation with the 76ers is to be investigated.

Maybe they should have just done it and kept quiet about it.

In preseason? Cmon. A team should be able to not play anyone they want in preseason.

As I understand it, Embiid resting in one game of back-to-backs was supposed to be part of the regular season plan.

Dang, everyone in this Bucks/76ers game is complaining after every single whistle.

It's weird how the East became more physical than the West. Western Conference teams are all about running and gunning, with some exceptions. Eastern teams are more grindy and methodical now.

Draymond Green git his first technical last night. The guys the worst.

He's 2nd in who needs to go from the nba.

This is a blow to the Pelicans. Dejounte Murray is reported to have a fractured left hand.

Reminds me of the Suns playing Dragic's brother to make him happy. But this is much more public.

And signing Dan majerle’s brother back in the day.

I don't recall that one.

one game and I didn't see it live because we were doing something but I watched a replay of the Warriors game. Started slow and I know the Blazers suck but man once they turned it on they looked REALLY good. Defense was markedly better and much better depth.

Again one game but Wiggs looked like he got his mojo back.

It's been that way as long as I can remember. Celtics, Pistons, Bulls, etc, have always been bruisers. The Lakers, Suns, Cavs, etc, have always been speed and skill.

It's cyclical, for sure. It's been a while since the East was more physical. Probably going back to the Pistons from the 2000's. Everyone tried playing similar to that in the East.

Love these segments. They show Chuck's overall record in the game at the end, which makes it even funnier.

Spoiler: Overall record

He's 8-97 all time, which is hilarious for an NBA commentator and proves no one should take his criticism too seriously.

He was horrid against the Lakers. I don't put much stock in this result, I think the Kings are kind of a mess. Who on that starting lineup plays even an ounce of defense?

I think the Kings are going to really struggle to make the playoffs.

How is this not an offensive foul on Luka?

At least they didn't call a foul on Wembanyama.

Not close to an offensive foul however PJ traveled on the catch and shoot.

I guess it's how one views lowering a shoulder into a defender to create space.

The refs seemed favorable to it when Giannis did it to us in the Finals. Too soon?

That was minimal contact. Book does the same thing to create contact.

Giannis was running ppl over in the finals.
