Amazing how different Embiid looks when he's actually healthy and fit rather than playing through some sort known or quiet injury. 
Just watching him move is like night and day.   You might literally have to go back to Jordan or Wilt to find a player control and win a game on both sides of the floor like that. All the offense + 7 blocks.  Exclamation

Problem is he's a star that has more stretches of not being fully healthy it seems and especially going into playoff time. 
Luka does a better job of playing banged up by my observation, but that's obviously not a recipe for Dallas success either.

Different player compared to the first few games. You already mentioned his health. Would add that he is also back to being the primary focus on offense since Harden went down. Harden never developed any chemistry with iso/post up bigs. Looked very similar to the Luka/KP days in Dallas.
Something that should be on the Mavs radar when it comes to future roster moves. And something that should be on Luka´s list of areas to improve.

It's called parity.  There are a lot of good teams in the NBA, but no great ones.

Unfortunate for Bane. Toe injuries suck.

Such a shame. Ben Gordon use to get buckets.  Mental Health is real.

I just like his competitive spirit, and how he doesn't back down.

So depressing.  One of the worst injuries in sports.
