DeMarcus Cousins on Joel Embiid: 'He's gotta come down on weight'
Rachel Nichols: From today’s Bully Ball: Boogie Cousins says to be less injury-prone, Joel Embiid needs to follow in Tim Duncan’s footsteps & slim down as he gets older: “He’s gotta come down in weight. It’s hard to play at 300+ pounds every night, the wear & tear will get the best of you”

Asked Josh Hart about Joel Embiid’s claim that Sixers are better team and should be up 2-0: “I don’t care. They’re not. We’re up 2-0. When the NBA starts basing the series on what we think, then I’ll care a little bit more.” – 12:00 PM

Joel Embiid has taken 51 shots against the Knicks and they’re coming from different places than in the regular season. Embiid got 62% of his shots within 14 feet this season but so far only 50% vs. NYK, though more at rim.

Embiid w/the Knee + eye Reminds me of that Mia series 2022.
Had a broken face torn thumb and index, still went 2-2 vs Heat in games he played at 40 percent% health tops.
While broadcasters milked his reg. Seas vs playoff dip like a fascinating mystery. – 9:36 AM

More on this storyline
DeMarcus Cousins on Rudy Gobert: You can’t have a potential 4x Defensive Player of the Year who doesn’t finish games. I’m never going to be okay with this. I see things in black and white. If you’re the best defender on the best defensive team, you should never be off the floor. There should never be a scenario where you’re not able to fit into the scheme. That doesn’t make sense. How do we keep awarding this guy who can’t even stay on the floor in the playoffs? This is mind-blowing to me. -via YouTube / April 16, 2024
