| Please don’t ask him to guard Embiid, or at least not for majority of the game |

Embiid has been ridiculous lately, now the MVP favorite |

The 76ers are 4-3 in their last 7 Games. Embiid has averaged 35/11/4 on 56% from the Field and 40% from three. So he's had a good run thus far.
I don't know why people wouldn't want our best defender guarding him though.

Maybe 2nd game back after 5 weeks out? Didn’t we get dwight for Jokic and Embiid? AD is going to take a beating because Embiid is very physical |

Good to se AD only get 24 minutes, work him in gradually. Not good that he got 2 rebounds, that is going to be the demise of this team.

Lakers where shooting so hot when he was on the floor it didn’t really give him many opportunities. |

He definitely lost some weight. That's the best news we can get.
So glad because like that he is showing he cares. |

AD just feels..... lighter
and I'm way happier about him getting lighter than when he 'bulked up' in the wrong places |

AD always cared.
He bulked up because he cared, despite never wanting to play the position and was elite on both ends on the court before he got hurt this season and the only player in the NBA putting up 24/10 and 2 blocks a game.
Him slimming down is better for him, I just want the Lakers to now stop trying to force the guy to be a center.

Not sure about that. AD's timing is way off and he doesn't have his wind. If Embiid does well it will tell us nothing about AD/Lakers. |

Yes I saw one play where he was beat off the dribble and was able to recover and block the shot. Thats how AD was in the past years.
When he bulked up, I saw the same thing but plenty of times he couldn't recover and the player get a layup because he was just a little slower than before. |

Hopefully he can at least give us a college season as far as number of games.

"He's not a center" 
He is not a traditional back to the basket center but 100% a center in todays game. |
