That doesn't matter on something like this. It matters on block/charge calls, but not this. I mean, think about it. The defender is in the restricted area so the offensive player with the ball swings his elbow and breaks the defender's nose. No call, hey buddy, you're in the restricted area!
Should have been a flagrant 1 on Embiid.
nope---elbow to face is not allowed anywhere. Different rule on contact wtih the head than on a charging foul
Disagree. Vonleh was late and not in legal guarding position, so his face kind of got in the way as Embiid went up. Good no call.
He's played 32 minutes already. In game 1 of the season. Not worried he's getting extra rest
Boston up by 2 in the 4th with a FT to come, with a rested Tatum ready to close.
One thing about Grant betting on himself is that he might be the player with the most to gain from the Celtics playing faster and with more ball movement on offense.
Also that guy Jaylen, who I think has made something like 9 or 10 of his last 12 shots.
Vonleh and Griffin haven't been spectacular - but I give them credit for banging bodies down low with Embiid and putting a lot of hustle in
