EC | Rd. 2| (1) Sixers vs (5) Hawks, Part 2 [3-2 Hawks]

[NoDopeOnSundays]

How do the Sixers not ask Embiid to limit the moves he tries, no way you should be doing a Euro with a torn meniscus.

[BeatDaCavs420]

Doc you can't be serious to be bitching about that being a flagrant lmao stop it

[damanick10]

Difference between this and Jokic is that it was to stop a score. Jokic just ran up to the dude and swiped him lol

[DowJones]

Jokic really did get screwed.

[AussieCeltic]

This has to be an ejection--right? This is just like the Joker play.

Not even close. He hits his arm.

New school nba is a flagrant 1. Old school is a playoff foul.

[TheSuzerain]

So in keeping with last night's precedent, does Simmons get an F2 ejection here?

At least he was conceivably playing defense and not whacking someone 90 feet from the hoop. Makes it different.

They may send him to jail

[jokeboy86]

I wonder are we going to get a Hawks/Bucks EC Finals because I’m cringing everytime Embiid hits the ground or jumps. Makes me worry everytime.

I hate when people compare fouls like this. The Djokovic foul is different, and no two fouls are the same.

Difference is that he didn't seem to hit him in the face, and it wasn't as much of a wind-up. Hard foul, but Jokic's was super unnecessary.

I respect that.

[AussieCeltic]

Trae has drawn 3 fouls this quarter just barrelling into the defensive player and chucking a shot up. Then whined that he hasn’t got FT’s. He must’ve seen Woj’s tweet about the crackdown next year and is doing everything he can to cheat now

[Jedi32]

lol i knew some posters would whine about jokic after that foul. smh

[beeshma]

For the first time in my life, I feel like the way the NBA games are ref'd has made me dislike the product.

No hard fouls? What is this about a windup being important? I don't give a s***.

Drawing a 3 point foul is the most boring tactic of all time, and yet it absolutely dominates the way offense and defense are played.

Well the Simmons foul was ruled F1, so by definition of the rule it was deemed unnecessary. What elevates an F1 to an F2 is unnecessary AND excessive. I'd argue that body-checking Collins in midair was a bit excessive
