He looked a little out of control but at the end he looked like prime Manu. I'd like to see him drive in a half court offense more often, not just the break.

Warren is developing into a very nice offensive player. I agree, he should be able to drive it in the half court as well.

I didn't mean it as a criticism, I just think it's the next step for him. Tighten up that dribble and he'll get a lot of opportunities now that he's a real threat from distance.

Anyone one of those guys would have been in the ring of honor for Phoenix! LOL!

Maybe not a few of them but yeah, far too many greats on other rosters compared to our Center heritage.

Maybe have Crawford show him how to do his handles....

Yeah they are but the refs seem to always let Embiid get away with a lot. Despite the fact we've outplayed them down low they have almost twice the free throws we have (23 to 12).

I didn't take it as a criticism of Warren. If he can develop a three point shot why not take the next step and drive it in the half court.

Holmes gets clobbered on that last shot attempt and no foul called. There was a lot of body contact.

Sometimes I think the NBA favors teams like they do players.

In general I'd say they do although I don't believe they have a directive or anything. I just think refs tend to go (somewhat) on reputation and when you have a reputation as soft or bad, well, you're kind of screwed until you change your rep.

You hear it sometimes when refs say things like, well that team plays physical.....

It's a oxymoron. The 76ers must be one of those physical teams.

I'm sure what you are saying is correct but the referees should call the game they see.

Warren gets in the lane for a basket. The Suns cannot be content with the outside shot.
