Joel that game:

• 52 points

• 13 rebounds

• 6 assists

• 2 blocks

• 20/25 shooting

The Sixers needed every bit of it, as the bench managed just 10 total points in a narrow 103-101 win

It’s the most points Embiid has ever scored against Boston and the most by a 76ers player against the Celtics

It’s also tied for the 7th most points the Celtics have ever allowed in a game

  1. Fuck that bum Jonathan Kuminga so much. Look at Joel’s lift on his jumper and the driving dunks just a couple years ago. Idiot Kuminga unnecessarily falling down on his leg. If you watch it it was completely unnecessary like he was trying to prove a point by hustling or something. Nerfed a once in a lifetime talent for no reason.

  2. The drive at 1:10 is what dreams are made of. Kinda sad these days that would be a fall and throw up looking for the whistle

  3. MVP Joel was as good as any player, ever.

    Phenom on both sides of the floor

  5. I’m so sad we will never see DPOY Embiid again . There’s a metric on bballindex that shows single player defensive impact in the playoffs

    Joel Embiid was 1st in their entire database
