Joel Embiid Says He's 'Got To Be More Aggressive' Following Game 1 Loss
Joel Embiid said that he would be more aggressive in game 2 following the Philadelphia 76ers\' 109-101 loss to the Boston Celtics to open the series.
\"I\'ve got to be more aggressive. Maybe we need to call some more plays but I don\'t know. That\'s another thing we\'ve got to fix going into Game 2,\" said Embiid following the loss.
Embiid finished the game with 26 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 turnovers.
The Celtics double-teamed Embiid after he started the game shooting 5-for-5.
Brett Brown added that his side cannot force feed the ball to Embiid.
\"This is the double-edged sword where you have to figure out what line do you want to walk. This overplaying the volume of just smashmouth, bully-ball post-ups; if you do it all the time it comes with some level of punishment if you\'re not careful.\"
