Embiid just looks gassed and in pain out there. Maybe I'm wrong.

I think you're right. He hasn't played or practiced. He's not in top shape.

Difficult call. Looks like Jack was going in for a normal foul but then turned to protect himself when he realized he didn't want to die via Embiid.

I'm good with the flagrant 1. If you stop going for the ball and just turn it into a shoulder check/fetal position its not a normal foul anymore. If don't want to become a paraplegic, don't jump in on an Embiid drive.

I think if a guy is airborne and someone runs to them and jumps and just throws their shoulder into the other guy it has to be a flagrant. If Jack didn't turn and pretended to slap at the ball it would have been fine probably.

He's pretty good when he's squared up down low, but he does still get lost on rotations sometimes, and he's not a very good rebounder for his size and athleticism, which is really going to hurt lineups defensively without another big down there with him.
