Jesus Christ what a horrible game from both teams last night. Both Lakers and Sixers didn't play any defense at all, I understand new direction of the league is playing less defensively and that is one thing but on the first quarter it was something like 40-39 or something and then the game ended 143-120.

I don't mind showcasing offense because it usually looks great and when you do defense these days its mostly perimeter defense but seriously they had zero defense at all. Whoever had better field goal day basically won. Lebron never really went all in on regular season so I am use to it but basically all of the team didn't cared about defense neither.

Embiid played amazingly and I felt like chandler or Mcgee could be a bit help for Lakers but he just had 2 moves that killed whole Lakers all game, he either faked a three pointer and went in or he actually shot the ball, that is it and he had them every single time. The game needs to evolve back to defense or it will become such a boring sport soon.

Well there are bound to be games that's more similar to an all star game than a regular season game every once in a while and this happens to be it. Though it seems that tobias harris has an immediate effect on the sixers and they really can contend for the east. Another thing, if javale or marcus closed down on embiid, he might just be forced to get down inside where i don't think the two laker bigs would be enough to stop him.
