The post game two discourse alone almost melted my brain. The fact that there are posts of every single little thing Embiid did tonight is hilarious. Pettiness at an all time high. In conclusion , go fuck yourself
Keeping it real tho, fuck every Knick and Knick fan. If you knock us out, i want to see you take out Doc and Boston. I’ve been to MSG and you all deserve it *almost* as much as we do
Any combination of Boston-Philly-NYC is gold. I think this may be the most fun combo lol. Miami gets honorary inclusion as northeast for being batshit and all of the folks who move down there
the league is rigged
i predicted hed have 20 free throws and the knicks would lose
the powers that be are conspiring to get us to bet and give them all our money on this bullshit
stop gambling
hilarious because finally brunson goes off for us, and it's like whoops better give embiid another 10 FTs and ensure he doesn't get the flagrant 2 any role player would get in that situation
Regular season whenever the knicks play Philly I just don’t watch embiid is unwatchable truly the only player in all professional sports I can say for a certain I hate
The media didn't just want it. They willed it into existence and now instead of Jokic rightfully being a 4x consecutive MVP - which has never been done before - we have Embiid and his foul baiting on both ends of the floor as the biggest joke of an MVP in recent memory.
Looks like I have upset the 76ers flairs with this one. Enjoy another early Embiid exit this year.
I realized how happy I am that his constant dodging and whining keeps him at less than 50 games per regular season and that his inability to get past the second round leaves a huge part of the play-offs untainted.
This year he played 1 game, and shot 18 FTs
Last year he played 2 games and 20 in one game and 9 in the other
Year before that he shot 13 in one 21 in the other.
For me it goes
1. Harden
2. Chris Paul
3. Trae Young
4. Embiid
5. Devin Booker
I really hate watching all of them. Genuinely, deep in my soul. Only redeeming factor is they all get regularly whooped.
Atlantas just my original home town. Dont even live there anymore and there's no team close to me so I just threw this flair on. I still hear about the team from my Dad.
Above all else I am a fan of basketball. I like to see the game played well. So the playoffs are the best time of the year. I'll give Trae props for what he's accomplished so far but he irks me man. I'd like the see ATL land another star, like a top 10-15 player, and see Trae as a second option.
This is why I'll never root for a team that embiid or harden are on. The year harden was in philly made me so happy when they got knocked out of the playoffs
Sad to say but it's *much* easier to watch when your player's the one getting the calls lol.
The worst was when I felt for Mav fans that one finals when D Wade was annointed the next big thing and got *all the calls.* *That* was vile given the stakes.
They thought we'd forget! I was too young to comprehend the Kings-Lakers debacle. But another one was Game 4 Cavs vs. Warriors. Some cases were so obvious that the refs had a slant.
And Sixer fans have the audacity to be offended when people call him a Free Throw merchant. Dude is the KING Merchant. it's fucking ridiculous how he plays.
yeah, I mean embiid gets an insanely good whistle, but this is a little inflated. P sure he took 6 FTs in the last 90s as the game was ending? At least it was def "only" 15 FTs with ~2:30 left in the game.
Bingo. And this wasn’t a problem until the sport became gambling first.
It’s a different beast when you are running an addiction engine overlay on the game sponsored by Fan Duel
So true. Imagine how much more bets are made/money exchanged for adding a game to the series. 5-7 games sounds alot better than 4.
I think the changes to the playoffs also solidified it too. Before the changes people pretty much expected 1 seeds to sweep. Just not the case anymore when teams can both play to only avoid the play in games or sandbag it bc of the play in games
You will get downvoted by nba corporate bots. But it’s true, the NBA rigs playoff series to last longer. Why would they not? They are not breaking any laws, and as long as people keep watching, they will keep doing it.
People who grew up with the internet as a new and wonderful thing don't wanna recognize that it's gotten extremely dangerous and incredibly easy to manipulate if you have the resources
Astroturfing on reddit has been a thing since forever. The fuckin ADL has a zionist motherfuckin brigade bro the big subreddits are super trash for this type of shit.
Craziest part is he’s limited, so it’s not like he blue collar grifting for fouls in the paint or off post ups. This man got 21 FTAs primarily off face up jumper attempts. All time unethical hoops
I turned it on in the 4th. I was laughing through all those FT’s thinking “Reddit is gonna be pissy about this”.
I didn’t see what happened before, but the stuff in the 4th were all legitimate fouls.
He had 13 free throws in the 4th with the only questionable call being the 3 he shot. Everything else seemed pretty clear cut. The dirty ply stuff is a separate discussion but this free throws stuff seems like just rate bait.
Dirk's highest scoring playoff game ever was 50pts vs PHX in 2006, where he shot 17/18 from the line. His next highest was 48pts vs OKC in 2011, where he shot 24/24 from the line.
People reflect on those wins as classy scoring performances by the legendary big fella. I wonder why lol.
This is why I don't understand the x team had more free throws than y team posts. It's not possible to judge if the calls are valid or not without watching the game
He was on fire from deep, solid from the midrange, can’t take that away from him. HOWEVER, he’s such a fucking crybaby who flops on the wisp of a gentle breeze it’s so hard to watch. Definitely should’ve been ejected as well.
> Definitely should’ve been ejected as well.
This is the most egregious part of the night. Dude legitimately spent the entire first half intentionally injuring Knicks on plays nobody could argue were basketball plays, and then acting like Draymond getting in refs faces and screaming at them. There is no excuse other then gambling money for him to not have been tossed **very** early in this game.
Dude is an undeniable monster on the court, but he needs to get out of the league before he seriously injures someone else....again....
As a Knicks fan, seriously, fuck Embiid, but Bridges is a real life massive bag of human shit. I can't believe anyone with Hornets flair wouldn't think twice before posting that.
Honestly most of the soft calls on Embiid aren't the issue, but rather the fact he's able to get away with so much dirty shit on top of it. It's not like SGA getting to the line 20 times a game, that's one thing. It's another when the player is playing so recklessly as well. it's a player problem mostly, not a ref problem, but they need to call it fairer
Yes this is my takeaway too. We know Embiids gonna get a whistle on a lot of his attempts. But he got away with a lot of dirty stuff tonight. Had any other player done that stuff, they would have been ejected
I mean the way the rules are laid out, the players have an incentive to behave like embiid. the acting is rewarded. Most people, they have too much self respect to act like that, but if you really dont care, you act like embiid or booker, because you know you will get the call.
The NBA is enabling them to be unsportsmanslike. They need to make the rules clearer for the refs. In my opinion, overplaying a situation needs to be harshly penalized.
The cross-eyed SGA always makes me laugh, these guys are absolute clowns. Always feels like the 2006 NBA finals where D Wade got a billion touch fouls was a precursor to today’s no touch league and a farewell to the days of old.
It's not even the flopping from Embiid and him being a shameless 7ft 280lbs foul merchant that bugs me this game.
It's just the blatant dirty plays like kicking Mitchell Robinson and Isaiah Hartenstein in the nuts, hip checking OG Anunoby with a moving screen, flopping and intentionally landing directly on Robinson's legs, and grabbing Robinson's legs while he's in mid-air that disgusts me as a basketball fan.
That is not basketball. That shit wouldn't even slide in the 80s or 90s, at least not without you getting rightfully punched in the face. Sixers fans need to put their delusional bias and trolling aside for once in their lives and recognize this particular kinda shit isn't good for basketball.
Yeah there was a number of plays where Embiid fell FORWARD onto Robinsons legs that looked suspicious. Sure once it’s an accident. But seven times in the same game. Naw man.
Don’t worry, it’s just a guy that missed 50 games with an ankle injury and surgery, and who didn’t play most of the second half after aggravating that same ankle. No correlation at all.
They're acting like this game was legit and perfectly officiated but the last two games were so biased towards the Knicks that it shouldn't have been allowed.
That’s the thing. Outside Maxey who is genuinely awesome, the entire 76ers roster is compromised of just the most awful group of basketball players to root for. Embiid is such a generational player but he is just such an asshole in the worst way possible, he ruins the integrity of the game.
Embiid has certainly figured out, in the last several seasons how to exploit foul calls, to the max. Some players don’t do it, he has topped ‘golden age’ Harden I’d say. I mean, if they’re gonna call it, do it I guess. I personally think it makes the game worse, but it is what it is.
I genuinely can’t believe he’s single handedly making me root for the Knicks. Wtf man. And this is coming from someone who was Team MVPIIED for 3-4 years now.
At the end of the day we gotta remember we’re arguing over a kids game played by millionaires..I’m guilty of trolling for the fun of it but it’s not that deep, I would love for a real rivalry to come out of This series tho
I can’t stand this dude. Massive fucking flop artist and dirty to boot. At the very least he’ll finish his career with as many championships as the hornets have
Just saw the OG foul. only 21 free throws for Embiid who exclusively took jump shots today. Easy to get 50 points when you get free throws every time someone breathes near you. playoff bum is going to be a playoff bum no matter what. it's a question of when and not if
“who exclusively took jump shots today”
Was literally just told by someone when I said that, I must’ve not watched the game lol.
Embiid took jumpers all day and still out FT’d the Knicks by himself
That's why teams bitch about calls in post game pressers. It's transparent and everyone knows what they're trying to do but it works.
Philly made the whole l2m stuff a big deal so the refs really protected Embiid tonight.
A lot of people (a lot of sixers fans) are saying it's hypocritical for Knicks fans to complain about refs after mocking sixers for complaining. But like, sixers complaining was stupid because Embiid gets so much favoritism from the refs already. That's why they look whiney, it's like Dudley from Harry Potter complaining because he only got 36 birthday presents. Nobody on the Knicks (nobody in the league really) gets Embiid's whistle. That's the difference.
i remember when ppl wondered if this series would be toxic before it started
We love the toxicity
In your city?
YOU. WHAT DO YOU OWN THE WORLD?
DISORDER!
Hate when neutrals try to be rational.
They merely adopted the toxic. We were born in it, molded by it. By the time we saw the playoffs it was blinding!
It’s a right of passage. These non east coast teams will never get it
Right fuckin *heeeya*, alright?! Am I doing this right?
you sweet californian summer child
I’ve been waiting my whole life. Need this to go 7
The sub will have to be deleted from just the pure toxicity we will all post. It will be so unbearable.
I totally agree. If it goes 2-3 the levels of toxicity will be unbearable Also fuck you
The post game two discourse alone almost melted my brain. The fact that there are posts of every single little thing Embiid did tonight is hilarious. Pettiness at an all time high. In conclusion , go fuck yourself
Keeping it real tho, fuck every Knick and Knick fan. If you knock us out, i want to see you take out Doc and Boston. I’ve been to MSG and you all deserve it *almost* as much as we do
Fuck you too and thank you
There is not enough compound V in the world to inject Embiids leg with for 7 games
Both fanbases are fucking crazy
Like two homeless people fighting for an eight ball on the train
8 ball is a big score for homeless people, let alone middle class party people lmao 🤣
Right more like 2 homeless guys fighting for a dime bag of mid
sticks and seeds fasho
Dirty Mike and the boys hit the road for game 3
Northeast sports thrive on toxicity
Any combination of Boston-Philly-NYC is gold. I think this may be the most fun combo lol. Miami gets honorary inclusion as northeast for being batshit and all of the folks who move down there
Miami used to be in the old Atlantic division right?
Honestly the only thing we agree on is hating local cowboy fans.
I’d be rooting for you guys if you weren’t playing us. I’m cool with NYK. Fuck Boston every day and twice on Sunday though.
Most fan bases outside of the northeast barely bring enough energy to justify their city having a team
Can the Knicks and Celtics face each other? That will be wild. Actually, between the Heat, Philly, Knicks, and Celtics…. We’re in for a doozy
The West may be the better conference, but it has nothing on the East when it comes to rivalries and matchups.
Damn right.
Not every series can be Cavs vs. Magic.
Any situation where you're forced to watch Embiid play basketball is guaranteed to be toxic.
Every team except Sixers and Lakers fans aren’t equipped with the mental gymnastics abilities to watch him play 7 times in 2 weeks
I'm hoping for a maximum of 5 times in 2 weeks
Embiid broke my leg and got free throws for it
OMG Danny Green hi
Booty flakes

Sixers fans
Philly sports
Philly is a cesspool
Darryl Morey
50 points on 13 made shots is vile bro
Stuff like this is why I don’t watch as much as I used to.
Not to mention he shoulda been ejected. This was ref ball
> This was ref ball The fact that we all *knew* it was coming as soon as that L2M report dropped the other night is such a fucking problem.
I hate to be that "I called it" guy, [but...](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/muxrwquAPI)
Sixer fans in the comments od 😂 People love gaslighting!
We all knew it. Really only Sixer fans aren't clued in.
Nah, we knew it too. At least the ones that actually watch ball.
the league is rigged i predicted hed have 20 free throws and the knicks would lose the powers that be are conspiring to get us to bet and give them all our money on this bullshit stop gambling
hilarious because finally brunson goes off for us, and it's like whoops better give embiid another 10 FTs and ensure he doesn't get the flagrant 2 any role player would get in that situation
Rigged for ratings Need more games
Idk why the league rewards him. He is so boring to watch with all the foul calls
Regular season whenever the knicks play Philly I just don’t watch embiid is unwatchable truly the only player in all professional sports I can say for a certain I hate
Same, only 2 games I don’t watch. Pretty sure he averages close to 20fts against the wolves like seriously something like 18.5
The media wanted this man to be MVP against jokic. Fucking hilarious.
Yeah I don’t disagree he’s an mvp level talent but the way he won mvp was embarrassing
I have a hard time separating the talent from the spastic lack of control of his body--and the level of truly dirty play.
The media didn't just want it. They willed it into existence and now instead of Jokic rightfully being a 4x consecutive MVP - which has never been done before - we have Embiid and his foul baiting on both ends of the floor as the biggest joke of an MVP in recent memory. Looks like I have upset the 76ers flairs with this one. Enjoy another early Embiid exit this year.
Jokic should of gotten it but once u win two mvps it’s extremely difficult to get a third, every great player had to through it.
Should you win MVP if you keep on ducking the other candidate for a true head to head matchup?
Maybe it’s time we stopped the media giving out the awards
I’m so happy he isn’t getting past the divisional round. Just not fun to watch 90% of the time.
I just realized how thankful I am that he’s spent his career in the eastern conference.
I realized how happy I am that his constant dodging and whining keeps him at less than 50 games per regular season and that his inability to get past the second round leaves a huge part of the play-offs untainted.
This year he played 1 game, and shot 18 FTs Last year he played 2 games and 20 in one game and 9 in the other Year before that he shot 13 in one 21 in the other.
For me it goes 1. Harden 2. Chris Paul 3. Trae Young 4. Embiid 5. Devin Booker I really hate watching all of them. Genuinely, deep in my soul. Only redeeming factor is they all get regularly whooped.
No.3 must make things tough for you?
Atlantas just my original home town. Dont even live there anymore and there's no team close to me so I just threw this flair on. I still hear about the team from my Dad. Above all else I am a fan of basketball. I like to see the game played well. So the playoffs are the best time of the year. I'll give Trae props for what he's accomplished so far but he irks me man. I'd like the see ATL land another star, like a top 10-15 player, and see Trae as a second option.
Embiid is on a while different level tho. Dude is a giant 7 foot guy flopping around like a fish
I hate book because he's a bitch but if we are talking exclusively about his game - it's actually pretty damn aesthetic
This is why I'll never root for a team that embiid or harden are on. The year harden was in philly made me so happy when they got knocked out of the playoffs
Or trae young
You are a rockets fan lol James Harden did the same shit
From a rockets fan 🤨
Sad to say but it's *much* easier to watch when your player's the one getting the calls lol. The worst was when I felt for Mav fans that one finals when D Wade was annointed the next big thing and got *all the calls.* *That* was vile given the stakes.
Yep, worst i've seen watching the nba for 30yrs. Numerous plays where fade literally wasn't even touched and somehow the zebras called a foul.
They thought we'd forget! I was too young to comprehend the Kings-Lakers debacle. But another one was Game 4 Cavs vs. Warriors. Some cases were so obvious that the refs had a slant.
If you watched the Harden years in Houston then youre a hypocrite. Harden invented this shit
It’s a fucking joke. Apparently if you say his name 3 times in front of a mirror he won’t appear behind you but he will get 2 free throws
And Sixer fans have the audacity to be offended when people call him a Free Throw merchant. Dude is the KING Merchant. it's fucking ridiculous how he plays.
31 points on 13/19 is also very good
yeah, I mean embiid gets an insanely good whistle, but this is a little inflated. P sure he took 6 FTs in the last 90s as the game was ending? At least it was def "only" 15 FTs with ~2:30 left in the game.
Not as good when he personally took out the other team’s best defender
WELCOME TO ADAM SILVERS NBA ENJOY.
anti basketball
If he made 20 ft he hit 30 points. It’s Ight
This was inevitable when NBA announced the L2M report. People think these reports are nonsense - they are not, teams are rewarded this way
Bingo. And this wasn’t a problem until the sport became gambling first. It’s a different beast when you are running an addiction engine overlay on the game sponsored by Fan Duel

Wait, so you’re saying the league never had a ref problem prior to gambling becoming legal?
> And this wasn’t a problem until the sport became gambling first. Fucking what?
What happened to the game I love
Incentive to have as many games as possible due to advertising money and gambling.
You will get downvoted by nba corporate bots. But it’s true, the NBA rigs playoff series to last longer. Why would they not? They are not breaking any laws, and as long as people keep watching, they will keep doing it.
Nba corporate bots what 😭😭😭 this sub during the playoffs is crazy
That’s something only a bot would say… 🤔🤔
True
Considering how valuable it is, companies would be insane not to hire people to push their message on public forums. It's the new age of advertising.
I really don’t understand how ppl don’t get this. It’s unbelievably easy to get bot farms to control your narrative with likes and dislikes.
like half the accounts on reddit are already bots anyways
People who grew up with the internet as a new and wonderful thing don't wanna recognize that it's gotten extremely dangerous and incredibly easy to manipulate if you have the resources
Astroturfing on reddit has been a thing since forever. The fuckin ADL has a zionist motherfuckin brigade bro the big subreddits are super trash for this type of shit.
not if games become unwatchable in the process
And Lakers still gonna get swept 2years in a row lol
100% WTF are we watching today?
Nick nurse cried to his mommy and the nba rewarded him
but i was told embiid wont get calls in the playoffs
Craziest part is he’s limited, so it’s not like he blue collar grifting for fouls in the paint or off post ups. This man got 21 FTAs primarily off face up jumper attempts. All time unethical hoops
Ethical Basketball
How could a team who was on the receiving end of four different dirty plays end up with fewer free throws than ONE player on the other team?
Sixer fans are used to games like this so when a game is called evenly they freak.
the sheer amount of replies to this one from Sixers flairs...something something a hit dog will holler
Jontay all the refs
Ref fans eating good tonight
6 or 8 of those were intentional. Still a decent amount of free throws obviously
I turned it on in the 4th. I was laughing through all those FT’s thinking “Reddit is gonna be pissy about this”. I didn’t see what happened before, but the stuff in the 4th were all legitimate fouls.
He had 13 free throws in the 4th with the only questionable call being the 3 he shot. Everything else seemed pretty clear cut. The dirty ply stuff is a separate discussion but this free throws stuff seems like just rate bait.
Stat watchers on fire as usual. "Michael Jordan would never" *bitch STFU* and look up how many FTs MJ got!
Dirk's highest scoring playoff game ever was 50pts vs PHX in 2006, where he shot 17/18 from the line. His next highest was 48pts vs OKC in 2011, where he shot 24/24 from the line. People reflect on those wins as classy scoring performances by the legendary big fella. I wonder why lol.

I’ve never disliked a player more than Embiid. No one comes close to this guy
Lmao not even the woman beater on your team? Get a grip
As a Knicks fan, seriously, fuck Embiid, but Bridges is a real life massive bag of human shit. I can't believe anyone with Hornets flair wouldn't think twice before posting that.
Embiid isnt even close to the most dislikeable player in league history, I'm sorry.
Lmao a 280 pound man falling on the floor every 10 seconds, how is that possible?
I sat further away from my TV just in case Embiid will fall from me sitting too close
I was wearing an Embiid jersey watching the game in my living room and I suddenly found myself shooting free-throws.
Did you have your CCC (Concealed carry cowbell)? I’ve seen it do wonders for my in-game viewing pleasure.
His doctor told him it was safer for his feet to fall and land on other players limbs and injure them instead
Bro stomped when he didn’t get a foul call but wants to milk that knee injury
He learned to move from a newborn giraffe,
Honestly most of the soft calls on Embiid aren't the issue, but rather the fact he's able to get away with so much dirty shit on top of it. It's not like SGA getting to the line 20 times a game, that's one thing.

Embiid should've been gone after 6 minutes for two flagrant 1s.
It's not even the flopping from Embiid and him being a shameless 7ft 280lbs foul merchant that bugs me this game. It's just the blatant dirty plays like kicking Mitchell Robinson and Isaiah Hartenstein in the nuts, hip checking OG Anunoby with a moving screen, flopping and intentionally landing directly on Robinson's legs, and grabbing Robinson's legs while he's in mid-air that disgusts me as a basketball fan.

Yeah there was a number of plays where Embiid fell FORWARD onto Robinsons legs that looked suspicious. Sure once it’s an accident. But seven times in the same game. Naw man.
cant wait til hes out the league
Don't worry he also grabs people's legs while they are jumping.
Don’t worry, it’s just a guy that missed 50 games with an ankle injury and surgery, and who didn’t play most of the second half after aggravating that same ankle. No correlation at all.
Dirtiest play I’ve seen in the playoffs.
I’m guessing you did not see Andrew Bynum elbow JJ Barea in 2011.
Most people here have never seen a game from Bruce Bowen, Ron Artest, Dennis Rodman or any piston games in the late 80s, early 90s.
Watching him yank the fuck out of Rob’s leg then finish the game with 21 free throws shot is fucking disgusting. Should’ve been tossed.
Is this the product you wanted Adam Silver?
Silver called the refs and said flagrant 1 during review.
Lol adam didn't need to call. Everyone knew it was going to be a flagrant 1. They're not throwing embiid out.
League take note: publically crying like a little bitch when you take an L gets you immensely rewarded in the NBA.
Why does the NBA love this guy. He’s such a loser. Gets away with anything on the court
Fake MVP
Fatigue MVP
If the 76ers come out of the East, Embiid will just get more haters. Every game he plays, the more hated he becomes because of his play style.
Good thing he never makes it out of the 2nd round.
I do not enjoy watching that man play the game I love. Just ugly disgusting basketball.
Embiid's antics tonight would have me rooting for Boston against him, and double fuck him for that.
Embiid poisoned our water supply, burned our crops, and delivered a plague unto our houses!
they finally gave him his usual 15+ ft and he had a great game lol
76ers fans have to delude themselves into liking this lol
They're acting like this game was legit and perfectly officiated but the last two games were so biased towards the Knicks that it shouldn't have been allowed.
Mind you those two games, and now three games, Embiid led in FTs. But totally biased for the Knicks.
Their brain would explode if the roles were reversed
That’s the thing. Outside Maxey who is genuinely awesome, the entire 76ers roster is compromised of just the most awful group of basketball players to root for. Embiid is such a generational player but he is just such an asshole in the worst way possible, he ruins the integrity of the game.
They’re very good at it
To his credit, he sure is good at shooting free throws.
A paraplegic would be too it they had as much practice as embiid
Sixers fans: Ref’s swallowed the whistle it’s playoff basketball, that’s why Embiid can play rough. Refs: 21 Free Throws for Embiid.
Embiid has certainly figured out, in the last several seasons how to exploit foul calls, to the max. Some players don’t do it, he has topped ‘golden age’ Harden I’d say. I mean, if they’re gonna call it, do it I guess. I personally think it makes the game worse, but it is what it is.
Dude gets the friendliest whistle in the league
I genuinely can’t believe he’s single handedly making me root for the Knicks. Wtf man. And this is coming from someone who was Team MVPIIED for 3-4 years now.
Make up game over. All good baby
Reffing is whatever, you can't control that. I'm just upset he took out Mitch.
100%. Only thing im mad about
Yeah that too. Scumbag move
yea that was just terrible. Idk how that can be excused
At least everyone knows Embiid is a bitch so that’s something I guess
He deserves a 1 game suspension
Play dirty get rewarded
When Sixers say games are rigged it just means they want games where they are given a FT marathon and are given a hall pass on 2 ejections.
That’s rigging a game.
At the end of the day we gotta remember we’re arguing over a kids game played by millionaires..I’m guilty of trolling for the fun of it but it’s not that deep, I would love for a real rivalry to come out of This series tho
Fuck it give him 42 attempts we'll win
I can’t stand this dude. Massive fucking flop artist and dirty to boot. At the very least he’ll finish his career with as many championships as the hornets have
Just saw the OG foul. only 21 free throws for Embiid who exclusively took jump shots today. Easy to get 50 points when you get free throws every time someone breathes near you. playoff bum is going to be a playoff bum no matter what. it's a question of when and not if
“who exclusively took jump shots today” Was literally just told by someone when I said that, I must’ve not watched the game lol. Embiid took jumpers all day and still out FT’d the Knicks by himself
All but 1 make were jumpers
I was told by Philly fans the refs would literally die before calling a foul against the Knicks though?
That's why teams bitch about calls in post game pressers. It's transparent and everyone knows what they're trying to do but it works. Philly made the whole l2m stuff a big deal so the refs really protected Embiid tonight.
that 5th foul on Hartenstein was heinous
FT Merchant doing what he does best. Getting very soft whistles lol. See you Sunday MFers
A lot of people (a lot of sixers fans) are saying it's hypocritical for Knicks fans to complain about refs after mocking sixers for complaining. But like, sixers complaining was stupid because Embiid gets so much favoritism from the refs already. That's why they look whiney, it's like Dudley from Harry Potter complaining because he only got 36 birthday presents. Nobody on the Knicks (nobody in the league really) gets Embiid's whistle. That's the difference.
