Embiid has shown who he is many times before.
He’s a front runner, and a sore loser. Hell of a basketball player but his attitude is garbage.

Did not watch all of today’s game due to work, but give me a break. He was clearly battling though injury. I’m not in love with the guy but today is not it for this take.

Embarrassing game for Philly. Siakam is a glorified sixth man on a good team, garbage man on a non-playoff squad, and he ate up their defense today. Shame.
Now that's the difference between first and last place.

An injury has nothing to do with his personality and antics

What does his injury have to with it?

he was talking about his demeanor and attitude

out of control and lacking in mental fortitude

front runner and showboater for sure..yells ANNND ONE 5 times to the crowd when up 15 and when he's down he cries and whines

Going to Nurse knowing he'd be televised then saying he advised him not to talk about the referees when up 2 games on the way to 3-0, loses and writes a full blown consipiracy about the refs...

He's a great player just a shame he doesn't have a personality to match it :P

Sixers will close it in the next game, the talent disparity is pretty significant and FVV was looking cooked, with a bit of the usual home cookin' from the refs in Philly he'll showboat some more...but when the Sixers will meet their match, the way he acts tells us the 76ers are unlikely to come out ahead

p.s the refs weren't egregious tonight, little home cookin' for the underdogs, sure.
tbh nothing that stood out..couple of bad calls, the refs didn't dictate the outcome of this game

Here are Embiid's comments that he made after the game lol.

Here is Scott Foster's record when James Harden and Chris Paul in a playoff game

Read on Twitter


Like I'm not into conspiracy theories, but this is insane. The NBA needs to investigate this dude, because regardless of personal bias, that is an appalling record for two players who have consistently won at a high percentage in their careers.

The numbers speak for themselves.

thats what happens when refs are allowed to do what they do, the first 2 games we an atrocity of reffing it was only going to come back around.



That abomination is not what the refs were supposed to do lol. And if you saw that record than Scott Foster, what does that tell you. As much as Harden and CP3 flop, they definitely earn a lot of calls. What is your explanation for CP3 and Harden, two players who are some of the greatest of this generation going 1-27 against Foster. That is clear as day.

So Foster hexes Harden AND made Green and Maxey shoot 6 of 22?

Wow, that's some power he yields.

i think the thing that should concern sixers fan the most is harden - i don't see how this version of harden gets them to the finals w/o opposing teams losing players to injury. still a quality player but he's probably 75% as effective as he was in his houston days - and that's not good enough to get you a ring.

Injury or not it doesn’t change your personality. I feel for him but He has done his whole career. He’s immature

Grest game today. Hopefully Freds injury not to serious and Scottie works his way back to form

First come back from 3-0? If anybody can blow that lead its doc rivers, it'd just be hilarious narrative on his career

Lowry, Gasol, and FVF had more of an impact on that squad. Again, glorified garbageman. Hustle player on offense. His defense is underrated, though.

Doc Rivers has a 3-1 lead, this could be a long series.

I’d love to hate on Embiid (again, I was working so did not see this in full or even half way) but it does dude. Frustration is palpable and when you know you can crush a defense but are physically unable to… I get it.

I’ll have to re watch this game on high speed Monday when I get a moment.

I’d love to see the records of teams facing elimination when Scott Foster refs.

Also for what it’s worth, both Rockets and Clippers are 4-12 in the playoffs when reffed by Scott Foster (most of those games would’ve featured Harden and CP3).

That’s cute but come on. No team has come back from 3 down, and the Raptors have to win 2 games in phili.

Suppose they should’ve just called the series off at 3-0 then

Look nothing would make me happier than winning the series, but come on. No way the 76ers let that happen

I expect refs to call game 5 in sixers favour
