Embiid was only able to play just 24 minutes, and Boban Marjanovic and Jonah Bolden had to pick up those lost minutes. Boban looked decent offensively, but he’s immobile. Defensively, he is just not going to hold up for an entire series like that. The only other complaint I have was that the Nets at times looked like they were thinking a little too much, specifically about their shots in the paint. A few too many times we saw Spencer Dinwiddie or Caris LeVert blow past their man, only to be met by either Marjanovic or Embiid at the rim and passed it out to someone else rather than going up and challenging them with a shot.
The Nets took half as many free throws as the Sixers and this is part of the reason why. The Cerberus of Dinwiddie, LeVert, and D’Angelo Russell looked great in this one, but an even more aggressive approach might serve the Nets well. Especially if Embiid is still hurting and/or out of shape.

He was really great and the team should allow him to do much more pick-and-rolls.
Anyone watching the game could tell Embiid looked slow and hurt, and if not for his 18 free throw attempts, of which he hit 12, his overall performance would have looked much different. He wasn’t great on defense other than when he parked himself under the rim to block shots because however hurt he might be, he’s still a enormous human being.
