NBA.COM even calling Dre out for acting like he did something big in making a FT while his team is getting its ass beat by Philly.

Its just hard to believe we're this far along in his career and he's still doing **** like that... rather than being angry about getting his ass beat he's acting like a child out there.

When your playing for a coach that takes you out of a game specifically because you are about to get a triple double, there's no reason to get passioinate as an individual. It's only about team, remember?
Team wins...great. Team loses, lets fix the team then. That's on coach "Team meeting my ---". No room for individual passion. Thats the Van Gundy way.

Guys don't get caught up in this little childish media BS. Dre was shushing the crowd cuz they were trolling him and they wanted free ice cream. But because ESPN says thats not cool, dre should judged!?

GTFO

It was about his free throw history. It wasn't about the score. They get on him for being crud at FT's and he hit both. Not like he had a show boat dunk or was all mean mugging after a block or something. Play is stopped, all the focus is on him at the line and the fans jeering him. He was shushing their mocking his FT abilities.

No, it is about a promotion:

What was a free big mac if the Sixers scored 100 points has turned into a free small frostie from Wendy’s if the opposing team misses two free throws in a row in the second half.

The crowd went wild when Ellenson missed two in the fourth for that reason.

In general, it is an interesting promotion as unlike most which just reward fans if the team plays well, it has a feedback loop where you can see the crowd really get into it and thus make it harder for the opposing team to make them. So, it is one of the more useful promotions out there.

On the flip side, when you are going nuts for a (near) rookie missing 2 free throws while down 34 with 8 minutes left, you potentially look like a bunch of jerks.

*UP

NBA.com did this? What a bunch of pricks. Never use that website since the last round of changes F'd it up. Really glad I dropped League Pass this year, and haven't missed it a bit. Go Pistons!

Do you believe Drummond knows about this promotion? Given his terrible FT history, hack-a-dre and fans and opponents clowning on him - could he not have believed it was about him? Also were fans more excited about Dre shooting FT''s and getting their free smoothie because they know his history and thought it was their best chance at the frostie?

Oh, I wouldn't want to guess what Drummond knows...

But for your point about it being about Drummond specifically, it wasn't at all. It was done to Ellenson for instance later that night even more so:

Fire SVG because we are wasting our f* time discussing Frosties

Um, i’m pretty sure philly fans were booing Drummond every time he touched the ball from the very start of the game. My friend and I thought it was because of the whole Twitter BS, which is absolutely ridiculous by the way.

But hey, frostees and 30 points. It is what it is.

Am I really the only person on the internet that sees drummond do this after every road free throw make?

This is not a big deal and proves people don't watch pistons games

So stupid lol

Oh they definitely boo Drummond, in part because of the Embiid thing, in part because he's the Pistons' best player and also because it's sort of obvious that it gets to him (the shushing is just one example, though I thought it was funny) and its fun to feel like you as fans are impacting the game.

But the frosty thing is everyone. It's a lot of fun.

nothing like a little indirect trolling from a mod to put a cherry on top

Whatever. Trash talk/gestures go on all the time for various reasons, none of which I give two s**ts about.

Yeah, I couldn't care less about Philly fans having fun or wanting their free ice cream. I do take offense when NBA.com makes a point of mocking AD for sinking two FTs and responding to the fans in light of their attempts to affect him. How would Pistons fans react if he missed them and hung his head? I think we know the answer to that already.
