Some of the most biased hometown crap I have ever heard. I'm embarrassed to be a Philly fan with that ****.


And there's the rub. You're not a Philly fan.

Ok, thanks for letting me know. Nice to have people around here policing who is a fan and who is not.


Gotta call it straight up. If that was Shai instead of Giddey, you wouldn’t have given two *****.

I also think you wouldn’t have cared as much if it was Drummond who wacked Giddey instead of Embiid.

Hard to tell, but I'm pretty sure I would have said the same if it was any other player. Maybe I wouldn't notice it, but I think the action was a cheap shot.

Not sure what you mean that I wouldn't have cared as much if it was Drummond. Embiid is one of my favorite players.

Nope. He clearly was trying to go for the ball, the foul was just hard and unnecessary at that point of the game especially for a player that's oft injured falling. I'm sure if it was intentional the refs wouldn't have missed it .

The refs didn't care, the game was decided, it was a cheap shot, regardless of how you color the book.

I’d say this is more of a cheap shot than what we’re discussing here because it looks like he’s diving at his legs.

I don’t think Embiid is infallible, but this one is a reach.

I don't even get the undying loyalty they have to Simmo the Sav at this point. He doesn't even give any thought to his "homeland". The stans on this forum are like battered girlfriends who can't walk away.

Well he's probably been called for like 30 actual flagrant fouls by NBA referees in his career and you probably didn't make any threads about those, meanwhile the refs pretty quickly called this a common foul.

You can disagree with their call if you want but I have a hard time getting why you're immediately jumping to calling a bunch of people homers when they're just agreeing with people whose literal job it is to independently judge this sort of stuff.

Not that anyone should be making threads every time someone has a flagrant foul or a cheap shot, it's a part of the game it happens sometimes. I don't see what the big deal is. You're acting like he Kermit Washington'd him.

In conclusion (1) not a cheap shot (2) who cares if it is.

"The refs didnt care" Come on, man these refs get graded on calls they miss or don't miss. I'm sure a flagrant is the last thing they don't care about if it occurred. That's not a call a ref would want to miss with so few NBA referee spots available.

That's just a really lazy, uneducated take.

I've been a Sixers fan for longer than Simmons has been alive. If you check my posting history you will see that I am not a fan of his, and never have been.

Some people are able to think critically about things without bias based on nationality.

This board would be absolutely up in arms if someone put a cheap shot on a Sixers player when the game was pretty much over, especially a 19 year old rookie in this 3rd game, so I think this needs to be called out for what it was. Really poor form, and Embidd should miss a game for that.

What was even worse was the utter lack of class from the Sixers commentators. Saying that if you want to run a fast break you deserve a cheap shot, and "I couldn't care less".

I know people on this board will go on about Philly being tough and don't be a snowflake - all that fake tough crap, but a cheap shot should not be tolerated, regardless of who throws it.

So he tried to block his shot, hit him on the hand and that’s a cheap shot? Take your homer ass back down under.
