Joel Embiid can't be particularly satisfied after last night's performance against the Miami Heat. The experienced basketball player has many problems in the game, and it is still difficult to give the right answer, which is why Embiid cannot catch the rhythm and remind us of the player we watched years ago.
The Philadelphia 76ers must think carefully about the future, and understand where they are making the most mistakes. The ratio of 2-11 is far from the ambitions of a team that consists of many quality individuals. Being at the bottom of the table is the last thing they wanted. Some believe that Joel Embiid's injuries have had consequences, raising questions about whether this experienced basketball player can return to his old days of glory.
On the other hand, his colleague, Jimmy Butler, a Miami Heat player, was great, scoring 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in 34 minutes against the Sixers. His efficiency was unbelievable, but some expect even more from the 35-year-old in the rest of the season.
After the match, the fans of this sport shared their opinion regarding the performance of Embiid and Butler. Some, despite the fact that Butler was great, believe that this basketball player could and should have done much more.
Embiid defended his former teammate, saying that Jimmy is a basketball player who is versatile. He is not someone who just gives points. His vision on the field, leadership and much more is truly commendable. Embiid went so far as to point out that Butler is the best player in the league.
"Jimmy does everything. Scoring, passing the ball, commanding while being on the floor. Both sides of the floor, one of the best players in the league. Probably top five. Probably the best actually. Best player in the league."- Embiid said, as quoted by Kansas.
Receiving such praise from Embiid can only be an additional motivation for Butler in the rest of the season. It is expected that he will be the one to lead Miami in the rest of the season. Butler is a profile of a player who always has huge expectations, so it won't be easy for him in the future. Miami is a promising and great team, but it will be important that there is chemistry between the players, and the desire for success.
Jimmy Butler on Tyler Herro
Tyler Herro was another Miami hero, scoring 18 points. Despite experiencing crises during the game, he received praise.
After the end of the match, Butler decided to comment on the events on the field and the outcome, but he put special emphasis on his teammate Herro, pointing out that he is a prolific scorer, who is really impressive.
Butler praises many qualities of this basketball player, especially defensive qualities. The wishes of the experienced player are for Herro to continue at the same pace for the rest of the season, remaining the key to this team.
It will be interesting to see if Hero will really continue with fantastic performances, but we have no doubt that in tandem with Butler, he can lead Miami on the right path.
“He’s a prolific scorer who can score at all levels, he’s actually really impressive.
More than anything I like the fact, we all like the fact he takes the challenge on defense, like he wants to guard someone, then go down there and give them 30-40, however many that may be.”
We want him to keep playing like that, he’s without a doubt one of the best scorers on this team… Not going to say he is the best. I beat you one on one in training camp so don’t talk to me.”-Buttler said, as quoted by NBA Analysis.
This great player is now averaging 17.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting 50.0% from the field and 21.4% from three in nine games.
Butler's wishes are for the rest of the season to be just as impressive.
Reflecting on his performance, Butler mentioned that he feels great, although he feels a bit tired after everything. He is happy that he can be part of the big scene again, and help the team achieve its goals. Herro is a teammate whom he once praised for everything he did for this team.
“I feel great right now, a little tired, a little out of shape maybe, but I got a couple days to get back into that,” Butler said. “I'm glad I get to hoop again and compete with my guys. This guy right here (Herro) has been holding it down for us these first couple of games."
