#2 Disappointing performances from Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler:
Joel Embiid has been playing at an elite MVP level this season, but he just didn't show up against the Spurs.
Trending
Embiid has been averaging 27 PPG and 13.4 rebounds per game for the season. In this game, he struggled mightily for his 13 points on 6-17 shooting from the floor. He also went 0-6 from the 3PT line.

Jimmy Butler was even more disappointing. The 76ers traded for Butler in the hope of challenging for the NBA championships this season. But he was not at his game in this match, scoring only 6 points on 3-13 shooting from the floor.
Performances like these from the All-Stars will never get a team anywhere. Both Butler and Embiid need to step up and motivate their teammates to come back from this embarrassing defeat.
