    So I was curious about scoring in oh, the last 40 years.
    in the 80's there were 5 games where someone scored 60 or more.
    90's 4.
    2000's 9.
    2010's 13.
    In the 2020's alone in 5 years there are 14 already, 14.

    But hey, the skill level is elevating, there is no defense anymore.  I see 100 points is serious trouble if someone truly gets hot.
    Now do 70
    lol

    Also...you love to complain about defense and three pointers. Jo is one of the better defenders in the league and he just dropped 70 while attempting a whopping 2 three pointers.

    Give it a rest. 
    3 in the last 2 years...

    I've complained about the nature of the game and no, he is not one of the best. No way.
    There were 6 in a four year span in the 60's.

    Yes he is. You're wrong again. Name 10 better rim protectors in the game right now. 
    Good pivot (pun intended).
    I thought we were talking about scoring? 

    That's like saying Dame is one of the best ever.  No he is not either...

    Name 10 better passers.
    Name 10 better mascots.
    Name 10 better rimjobs.

    Stop it stoppppp.

    He's great for this era, happy?

    He's a...center?

    And he's behind only Goebert in defensive rating.

    Serious question....do you watch the NBA?

    He's one of the better defenders in the league. You disputed that earlier with zero evidence.

    OMG i said hes good and great for this era.  Not sure what youre trying to win here?

    Embiid has made the all defensive first or second team last year?  No.  Ok then.

    Do I watch NBA?  I said Caruso would make All defensive 1st team and was laughed at but hey, I guess I don't...

    Yeah I was cracking up about this discussion. 
    Certainly a well timed post by Mr. Juggler.
    Really? You're buying into that?  I forget if youre a 76ers sympathizer or not...
    He's a....Celtics fan. hahaha
    Yep. Big rival, but I can acknowledge Embiid is great. He's like the Peyton Manning of the NBA, pretty much unstoppable in the regular season when healthy, then craps out in the playoffs consistently year in year out.
     =) 
    He got his eventually. I’d be fine if it worked out that way. 
    In Denver?  ;)

    I don’t even like Payton Manning but he was 1-1 in Colts Super Bowls. Yes I would indeed take that for Jojo.

    "One of the better defenders in the game." You literally laughed that off. You know they go by position right? lol. You don't have to be the first or second best defending center in the league to be considered "one of" the better defenders in the league. 

    Anyone who watches basketball recognizes Embiid is one of the better defenders in the league.

    We were talking scoring then you changed to defending.  That wasn't my argument. You brought it up. That wasn't what I was talking about at all, so, like I said, you manufactured that argument yourself.  It wasn't brought up by me and yes I dismissed it because that wasn't the topic we were talking about so again, good pivot.

    So u you can win this one too, he's a good defender.

    Stop trying to make fetch happen. Embiid is fucking awesome. 

    One of the hottest or, perhaps, the hottest actress ever.

    Go ahead and dispute that, tempo!

    SCORING, YOU MENTIONED 70. I was still on scoring Hoss, sorry you took it the other way. I glazed right over the rest of your comment actually.

    So I see your point.  I see that, but I was still on scoring.

    Dude...you replied to me specifically talking about defense and three pointers and how that stuff bothers you with today's game. I get that you were still thinking about scoring, but that was not clear in your post here. Hence the confusion.
