Embiid playing drop really exposed Celtics' lack of making tough pullups. JB was already having trouble vs drop even before Embiid came back. And once Joel Embiid returned, it got even worse. The rim was shut off, the midrange became necessity and the rest was history. Sheer contrast from his OKC game, where he looked invincible going at those small guards
