Whether Embiid was responsible for his injury or not is irrelevant. It was a dirty play period. The fact we have a few posters on this thread that are desperately trying to defend Embiid and conflate certain plays as being equal is just so irrational to me. If Mitch did the same to Embiid I would have no issues calling a spade a spade.
It makes me realize that you can actually have a reasonable discussion with any fans that would even defend what Embiid did tonight. It’s like arguing with a mentally handicapped person.

I largely agree with you, but I actually think it does make some difference, because if it’s actually what injured Robinson, then I think there’s a more compelling argument for him to be suspended for it. Not that you have to injure someone to deserve a suspension (or to be ejected from the game), but realistically it creates a different situation for the league. I also personally am curious because I want to know whether it gets added to the list of other players Embiid has injured in the playoffs.

Just imagine the absolute unhinged tears from certain Sixers fans there would be if someone did that to the one they worship

Ejected and suspended one game. I'll keep finding more. Reckless plays when guys are vulnerable can not be allowed.

Why would I worry about players not even in Boston?
Are you slow or something?
Maybe all that Embiid guzzling has rotted your brain.
I get it sucks that Boston is about to lose to the Heat.

Read the tweet.. The leg he grabbed was the other one. Mitch was already questionable and tweaked it on another play.Jaqua92 wrote:eyeatoma wrote:As I said.

What the hell?
Embiid just injured someone, and is playing the victim. He got to play this game. Mitchell did not.
Is Embiid a family member of yours? Jesus Christ man.
This is about safety. Get a freaking grip.

Are you serious? This is not a "dangerous play" because it could hurt the leg/ ankle by holding it, but because you take away Robinsons normal "landing motion". You clearly see that Robinson lands first with his other leg because of Embiids holding so its mind blowing to try to argue that his injury had nothing to do with Embiids bull just because "its the other leg". Seriously.
