What's the end goal for Philly ? The risk vs reward doesn't add up as far as Embid long term health if he is truly injured. So if he is on the court I don't want to hear he is injured or limited. They should shut him down if he is injured. Hey, if we could Id love to have 75 percent of Julius off the bench but we won't have him. Too bad so sad for Philly but we didnt make excuses all season with our injuries. BTW what is the furthest he has gone in the playoffs in his career anyway ?

The bold was my exact words during a conversation I had prior to the playoffs. Even if Philly gets past us, you now have a beat up Embiid going into the Celtic series. They not going past them with him beat up by our bigs. That’s my thoughts prior to game one.

After game one and the way Embiid is looking, he’s causing more long term damage and opportunity. I used to say Embiid is that superstar we need. Now I’m thinking he’s damaged goods. We need to look elsewhere.

Embiid breaks down about every end of season. As for the stabilty of his knee and the injury? Thin, they'd risking it? Think he'd risk it? I think he wants to play and structurally the knee is strong. My guess.

I doubt he can play all the games though. Surprised he came back in the game. He looked really good before the dunk. That was a hell of a dunk!
Kudo's to his effort. He was eating knicks up.

That knee didn't look that strong. Amazing play for a 7 footer, to be sure, but that knee buckling was all him. And he airballed a couple shots after without the strength in that leg. I respect that he wants to be on the court, but if he is gonna play, the Knicks need to pressure him until he sits down.

What would the Heat do?
