Joel Embiid with a Draymond-esque play last night.

This was called a flagrant 1, even though this was an obvious flagrant 2 foul. Joel went on to score 50(on 21 free throws might I add) in a 76ers win. If the refs ejected Joel for this blatantly dirty play, the Knicks are likely up 3-0 right now.

I should also add that the person he fouled, Mitchell Robinson, was forced to leave the game early with an ankle injury.

The “limp” is getting old. If you’re injured to the point that you have to limp around like that (only at times), you’re not hanging 50 in an NBA playoff game.

Draymond gets all the notoriety, and rightfully so, but Embiid is right behind him. Very dirty and whiny player and loves to flop on both ends despite being huge and incredibly skilled. Gets one of the softest whistles in the league too. Hate watching him play.

He had multiple nut kicks in the game last night in addition to the clip in the OP. He really one upped Draymond.

quote:

In the first half, Embiid committed three notable fouls. Two of them were committed in the same general region against different Knicks. In the first quarter, Embiid was assessed an offensive foul for seemingly hitting Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein in the groin. In the second quarter, on a shot attempt, Embiid swung his leg upward unnecessarily and hit New York's other center, Mitchell Robinson, in the groin as well.


Embiid's dirty plays

Not sure how anybody actually likes this guy. He's a massive cry baby, constantly whines, claimed racism last year to get his first MVP then went out in the playoffs again in embarrassing fashion, and acts like this when his team is facing elimination. Not to mention he flops around like a massive pansy on the court. I'd be embarrassed if this guy was the star of my team.

A severe leg injury is a small price to pay for what Embiid deemed a missed foul call.

Looks like Embid has Bell's Palsy or some similar nerve issue.

Look at the left side of his face. It droops when he talks; only the right side moves. When his right eye blinks, his left eye doesn't. Something's wrong.

I didnt realize how awful it was watching him until this series, hes gotta be the most unlikable superstar in the league. Hes the complete anthesis to joker.

Im still pissed he got away with that shite last night and had the nerve to say he was protecting himself.
