Embiid scores 70-points, breaks Sixers record & Bucks fire Adrian Griffin | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST

Averaging 40 points in December 40 points in January is embiid the best player in the world now and last time by the way did it in just 37 minutes so it’s not like he played the whole game I was going to say if he played 48 minutes

Like wil did the year he average 50 is that the year he scored 100 the a 100 is not out he would have got close to 100 or could have gotten close to 100 I mean that he scored 70 points in 37 minutes and as you said

Nick what he’s averaging more points per minute he’s averaging more just a tick more points per minute than Wilt did the year will average 50 uh because Wilt that year amazingly played more than 48 minutes per game because he played an all of overtime a couple times he never

Fouled out ever and he almost you know refused to go out of games Joel this year is averaging just around 35 minutes a game and 36 points per game which is bananas like the list of guys who have averaged over over 35 in a year post

Wilt is Jordan Kobe Harden and now but go ahead he’s playing phenomenally and I mean I watch it like last night that was a joy to watch I’ve always wanted you guys know I’ve said it go inside a little more he’s doing that you know he

Scored in the paint he posted up roll to the basket but also I mean and this has been the case for a few years man his mid-range jumper I don’t know who m range jumper is better and I’m including Kevin Durant Devin Booker all these mid-range assassins this dude is incredible the

Way he shoots in the mid-range and so yes right now I mean joic I still would probably take joic slightly over embiid although embiid is a better Defender as well but here’s what it boils down to Nick and you know this the playoffs and and here’s what I’ll say about Joel he

Is fallen in the playoffs his last season his playoff scoring average dropped nine points from the regular season 33 points in the regular season 24 in the playoffs his rebounds dropped slightly his shooting percentage went from 55% to 43% Joel is always either usually banged up in the playoffs where he’s either has

To miss some games or when he plays he’s still kind of hampered and he’s not getting all the calls he gets in the regular season which hurts right right so playing we all know what it’s right well what it’s going to come down to is what he

Does in the postseason go ahead no well I’ve got to take on the Spurs nobody wants to here had 33 by the way was his defense go it wasn’t [Laughter] good put on so I want to this is where what do they call me wild oh Mr

Consistency so I have to be consistent and fair because that is what I am W buckle up Denver yeah but Denver is going to be thrilled with that that’s what I mean because I listen joker last year never had a 70-point game but he had near equivalent when it came to like

Hey he had 38 22 17 on 80% shooting for you know what I mean for the third time this month and what did I say I was like yeah until you go on a legendary postseason run I cannot believe you’re the best player in the world so I say

This and listen I like Joel you guys know last year I was riding with the Sixers I believed in them uh I Joel could have scored 100 last night and I would not believe he’s the best player in the world my standard for the NBA is very different than I think each Sport’s

Obviously different and until you I know and you don’t have to win the title when I say a deep playoff I mean that you’re playing in the final game of the year and you and you’re playing well throughout until you do that I don’t think you’re eligible for the the

Mythical Crown so right now like Giannis is eligible embiid I’m sorry Joker’s eligible Steph theoretically is eligible even though he’s not right now LeBron’s eligible even though he’s not right now like Joel’s not eligible for it in my opinion great take from Brendan Haywood former shout out to Brendan Haywood uh

Former player call in the game he said Philly reminds him a lot of Denver MB this year being criticized for winning the MVP award joic last year being criticized you’re SEC for not making a deep playoff run even though you w MVP second guy Jamal Murray kind of a combo

Guard Big Time score not really a pral Allstar Tyrese Maxi combo guard Big Score both teams lot of depth good coach it’s some similar Philly is man the fans in both cities hate me but for different reasons are you going him the MVP right now I think I would have to

Give him my vote right now if he weird if he doesn’t cross if he has to if he fall news out of Milwaukee yeah Adrien Griffin hired and now fired didn’t even make it to the allstar game Brew uh I I heard week and a half

Ago the day after the Celtics got blown out by the Bucks that if the Bucks lost that game quote major changes were coming and I blew it off because I thought they were talking players and I’m like you guys got major trade I didn’t even think at the time that they

Were saying might fire the coach we just hired but it didn’t seem like this didn’t get off to the right start when he got rid of when STS quit right before the season so really weird tenure there no it despite their record being second in the East it was not looking good I

Liked Boston better Philly better and heck Miami getting Terry rier who fits heat culture I kind of like them a little better so they got to they need to get somebody in there that’s going to turn this thing around and get them playing some defense would you like Doc

Rivers cuz it looks like that’s who they’re going to hire I no I mean Wilds give them your take coach Bud look at the recipe look it’s something thanks for watching subscribe here to get more from the show and to check out clips from other shows on FS1
