Screw it, I'll bite:

Embiid, can't remember the season but do recall him complaining and the fouls evening out - though I think that was more of the disparity between the two teams rather than one individual.

Phil Jackson would do it all the time during games and after pressers and it most certainly worked for him both with Chicago and the Lakers (think the rigged series against the Kings, game 6 for example).

But did they?

I've never seen anyone argue that Kings game 6 happened because Phil worked the refs for calls. It's always been that shite was rigged, no? Didn't Donaghey ref that game also?

I doubt we'll still be talking about this tomorrow but if we are I can post the team numbers. Just takes a bit longer having to go into each game, only way I know how to do it.

For just Embiid, he was fined after game 4.

From game 1 to 4 Embiid averaged 10.8 FTs per game.

For the rest of the postseason after his complaint/fine, Embiid averaged 7.7 FTs per game.
