Joel Embiid on loss in Game 1: 'I think we played sh***y defense'

Embiid wasn't happy after the game

Joel Embiid after Sixers loss in Game 1 against Boston (via ESPN):

"It starts on defense. I thought I was s---ty. I thought we were all bad tonight," Embiid said after the Sixers allowed Boston to hit 17 3s in a 16-point defeat. "That's not who we are, definitely. I think when everybody's on, we're the best defensive team in the game. There's a lot of stuff that we game-planned that we didn't execute."
