Curious what forumites' opinions are regarding this quote and actions by Embiid after the Dudley scuffle today.
"First of all, he's a nobody, and when opponents try to do stuff like that, that's just to get us out of the game, I'm too valuable to my team, that's why I didn't react."
"In that type of situation I just have to stay composed and be mature and let it go," he said. "Because my teammates need me more than (his teammates) need him, so I've just got to be mature."
What might prompt the debate is that, at the start of the fracas, Embiid walks deliberately away from the scrum, hands in the air - so, does one think that's a 'smart' play to not get involved at all in the fracas, or does it show a lack of support to his teammates?

Not saying you should always roll-over and fold, but if the goal is to win, walking away from this trap is often the best way. An ejection of a key player, or even a tech in a close game can swing a close series the other way.

Joel wanted no part of Dudley. Agree it’s a bad trade of him for Dudley..but Joel has the look of someone who when faced with a guy who just might push back..retreats pretty quick.
There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.
