Still, if Self is going to mix up his starters again, no one could blame him for inserting Embid.
Things change. It doesn't mean that Black is a bad player, or that he can't break out of this funk.

"Half of the field was completely frozen," Sporting head coach Peter Vermes said. "It was almost unplayable."
Both head coaches had similar complaints about the field. But like Vermes said, "That's the beauty of sports, both teams have to play in it."
The first half did not have a lot of highlights. In the 29th minute,
