False. He was suspended because he surpassed the allowed number of flagrant fouls for the season.

At least know what you're talking about.

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’t actually have a reasonable discussion with any fan that would even defend what Embiid did tonight. It’s like arguing with a mentally handicapped person.

I don’t think Mitch aggravated his ankle on the leg pull by Embiid, I think he aggravated it on Embiid’s flop a few plays later when he got fouled and flopped. I think Mitch’s foot got stuck under Embiid and his shoe came off too, if I’m not mistaken, it’s the foot/ankle that he aggravated tonight. I noticed the limping right after that play

It’s all good. Take your W. We still had a chance to take this, but that anomaly of a 3rd quarter 3 point shooting is what took us out of it. Adjustments will be made and we’ll come back to take a W on Sunday.

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. (Not that I actually think there’s virtually any chance of him being suspended). 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.

Did the Knicks get lucky with the non calls at the end of Game 2? Yes, we got lucky that they didn’t make those calls, primarily the jersey pull because I feel like the Hart contact was minimal.

But what Embiid did today, multiple times, was dirty.

There’s a big difference between missed calls but the refs and dirty, non basketball plays.

DDV had a dirty play vs the 76ers, I think Oubre was involved, and he should have been ejected for that (if he wasn’t, i forgot)

Embiid should have been ejected for his leg pull on Mitch, whether it led to Mitch’s ankle aggravation is irrelevant. It was an intentional malicious play by Embiid.


Other than his 3 dirty plays, the Mitch leg pull, kicking Mitch’s nuts after shooting, and the dirty screen on OG, Embiid had a hell of a game.

*I’ll cut him some slack on the play where he got IHart in the balls with his knee, I don’t think that was intentional*

If Brunson did that **** to Tatum I would absolutely say that Brunson should have been ejected and that it was a dirty and dangerous play. But that’s the difference between sane and irrational fans.

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.
Here come the insults.

I get it sucks that Boston is about to lose to the Heat.

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.

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.

Read the tweet.. The leg he grabbed was the other one. Mitch was already questionable and tweaked it on another play.
