The Lakers have waved the white flag with 8 minutes to go in the 4th so it looks like Joel Embiid is also done for the night. He finished with 30 pts on 9-15 shooting (2-3 from 3, 10-12 FTs), 11 rebs, 11 asts, 1 stl and 1 blk in just 3 quarters against the Lakers.

I think people look at like Joel's FT stats a lot and don't realise he gets fouled at lot at end of games in the bonus to stop time. One game this week he had like 6 ft's tacked on in 15 seconds of actual game time.

Also his stats last year didn't reflect the reality of how many more stats he could have posted, if his offense and defense hadn't won the game for the sixers by halfway through the third quarter.

76ers and big Joel watchers know this sort of game well. It was quite common for him last year which is why he was called early for MVP, and eventually won it. Yeah he sucked in the playoffs, but MVP Is about the reg, and Joel was doing this, on the reg.
