Joel Embiid has played in 20 games this season, he has a 30 point 10 rebound in 12 of them (60%). This season Joel Embiid has a higher chance of getting 30/10 than Markelle Fultz does of making a free throw (56%).
At first is was hard to admmit this fact but later on looking how they are loosing against the teams where they should at least give decent fight or even win there is no questions now. Meanwhile Zion and Barrett had another great game.
What the hell is going on with the Spurs.. this is a 47 win team that basically added derozan... this team has honestly been a joke so far and so unlike under Popovich
