Lol at Embiid and Lebron crying about the officiating when they get the best whistle of anyone in the entire league every single game and are both pretty much allowed to foul at will.

Lebron doesn't get a good whistle...he gets hammered a lot without getting calls. Embiid though gets probably best whistle in the league

Yup, LeBron has a historically low free throw rate for the amount of touches/drives he does. He is just so strong and resilient he finishes through contact all the time.

Embiid is like Prime Harden where he hunts for fouls. It is within the rules but definitely an angle shooting where it drops off in the post-season.

A lot like Ant...guys who are too big, strong and fast just don't get the calls because the excessive contact isn't as obvious.

Unless they constantly throw themselves to the ground like Embiid...

Seeing Jovic and Nembhard play in the playoffs just makes me hate the Moore Jr pick even more.

Especially when you consider that after the Ant, Jaden, and Bolmaro year, Moore is the only first we drafted and kept. Kuminga, Kessler, and George were all our picks going to other teams. That means since the 2020 draft we are 2-2 on first round picks. That said, Ant and Jaden are pretty nice hits, especially in light of our track record. But Bolmaro instead of Desmond Bane, and Moore instead of Peyton Watson, both hurt a lot.

I wanted Jovic , his play tonight against Boston is pissing me off wtf Connelly, I didn’t get that moore jr pick AT ALL even though i talked myself into being okay with it and giving him a shot. :banghead:

The Heat have a 107 to 98 lead over Boston with 1:23 left in the game. Heat are playing with The General. Boston is overrated. Though, in their defense Miami has hit something like 23 3s. Though Boston is leaving hot Heat hands open.

Sorry, Watson would be amazing as part of our young defensive core.

MIA is about to win a game in the Garden. Maybe Celtics is not invincible.

Celtics played 30 games against the West and 52 games against a very injured East. They are not even top 3 in the actual East much less better than the top 3 teams in the West. NYK, Cavs, and Bucks are all probably able to beat Boston in a 7 game series. If Miami doesn’t beat them first.

Edit: Shaq called Miami by 10. The man must have ESPN.

I wanted Jovic too, the Moore trade up had me shaking my head.
Jovic isn't lighting the world on fire but he is athletic and 6'10 and shot 40% from 3 this year.
He's an NBA player.

Moore would get cut from his G-league team if he weren't a draft pick.

There are a lot of successful players we passed on in that range, it was a big whiff by TC that also cost us 2 future 2nds.

Hopefully he knocks it out of the park with 27 and 37 this year.

No he wouldn't, let's be real here. He's had his struggles but we don't need to be making up crap in an attempt to slander him even further.

Embiid is dirty as **** and should be suspended.
