Normally, yes. But since there's going to be next to no defense being played, Embiid is probably going to be content letting Westbrook getting highlight plays off. I'd rather see Westbrook be petty as hell, and purposefully miss Embiid on every lob attempt. Or not pass to Embiid when Embiid calls for it. Or, even more hilarious: Westbrook calls for Embiid to set a pick. Embiid comes and sets the screen. Westbrook completely disregards Embiid. Embiid starts to leave, and Westbrook then uses the now-moving screen so that Embiid gets called for a foul. DELICIOUS.
Lakers are a joke and I love it. But five of the first six players LeBron selected for the all-star team will be free agents over the next two summers.
What a finish. Rondo finishing off the Celtics at TD Garden. Confirmed: Rondo is safe from the tradehammer of LeBron.
