4 fouls on Birch instead of Precious is a smart trade-off.

You don't know if Precious would get those 4 fouls.

Embiid is getting calls regardless. It would Precious, Siakam, Scottie or OG. Birch getting those fouls is better than any of the other options.

[GOLDBLUM]

Precious isn't afraid of Joel

[Demographic Shift]

The Hinkies look slow.
Tired slow.

[LJ2]

Precious hitting free throws, Philly is fucked now!

[Primer]

I'm fine with Birch soaking up fouls. But he took the shot 2 possessions in a row and badly missed both. He shouldn't be getting shots unless it's a dunk.

Fans booing their own team with more enthusiasm than they chant 'ref you suck' lol

He's 3/6

Precious making Embiid look like a pylon.

[LJ2]

Boucher good for at least one out of control play for the game.. one minimum

Precious making Embiid look like a pylon.

You'd think he has a leg injury. Everybody is just driving by him. They should make that an emphasis.

[G__Deane]

No LA and now the Nets out.
Merry Christmas!

Now just need this Raps W

[Kagemusha]

Attacking Embiid is EXACTLY what they should have done since game 1.
Make him work hard on defense which will affect his offense, with the bonus that he gets in foul trouble.
It can only be win-win.

[Primer]

He's 3/6

Yeah 2 easy buckets and a 3. All early in the game. Since he's been missing everything. His baseline jumper against Embiid was particularly egregious.

Attacking Embiid is EXACTLY what they should have done since game 1.

He has been good defensively. This game seems strange, everyone is blowing by him.
