He absolutely mind-****ed Randle yesterday. I actually started to feel bad for the kid. Randle wouldn't finish drives and was trying these weird damn runners and stuff that he can't do. He was terrified of going underneath because Embiid was destroying him. Then on the other side the entire 4th quarter was just Embiid catching it at the low block, backing Randle down 2 steps and the choosing how he wanted to beat him.
Walton had two 7 footers on his bench in Lopez and Bogut (Bogut had actually played Embiid tough to that point) and instead he just left Randle out there to die.

The shaq treatment
He's just an outlier to be that big and that skilled. There are a few players that will come along that you just have to hope they have an off night in order to stop them. He could be the next one.
As some hated it, I loved watching Shaq. He was just dominant and you knew it was coming but it didn't matter.
