He is in fact him. His teammates sans Maxey not so much...
As always, he just needs to be healthy. Even unhealthy he drops 50, but he's not him. LOL wtf.

For the OP, how did Embiid do last year in Game 7?

Actually there does, because Cubbies tried to troll as usual by starting a thread, saying he's not him, and got ratiod into oblivion.
Sounds like more people agree with my post than the knockoff 
Everyone saw what happened last night, it's been less than 24 hours people ain't forgetting what they just saw...

But but but he wasn't healthy!!AussieCeltic wrote:The year is 2021, it’s halftime game 4 of the 2nd round, the Sixers have a 2-1 lead over the Hawks and are up 62-49 in Atlanta. Win this, they go back to Philly up 3-1 and close out the series. Ben Simmons hasn’t gone into his shell mentally yet and puts up 8/11/7 by the half.
What does Embiid do second half?
He shoots 0-12… yes 0-12 the second half with 3 turnovers to completely collapse and lose by 3.
Everyone blames Simmons for what happened after this game but this was the reason they lost to the Hawks. He could’ve shot 10% the second half and they win. 0-12 is the biggest I’m not him moment.

Embiid: +72.2
Lowry: +28.1
Oubre: +18.2
Harris: +5.9
Maxey: -24.3
That's really all I need to see to know that looking at raw impact stats in small sample sizes in order to argue a point is not a good idea.

He is not the only player in league history to face these issues, though, so that does go only so far.
Yup, and his issue is injury and conditioning. The solution is actually likely that his scoring volume should go down in the post-season, while the perimeter guys take more load, and he can exert more impact on defense and the glass while not forcing offense.
Easier said than done, especially when the team is used to a certain style in the regular season.

Another big reason is he doesn't get to stat pad against bottom feeders in the playoffs...he faces real defenses.

1. Got to eastern conference several times by now
2. Got to at least one nba finals appearance (Prob faced denver last season for nba finals showdown)
