I'd want to see another angle (maybe Anthony Edwards did an offensive foul first?), but Embiid did swing down, there.



Wasn't the swing for the block? Making a play on the ball. I mean you have to allow some contact, when it's body to body.

I don’t know what game Embiid is playing but it’s not basketball.

21 fouls so far combined in the MN/PHI game, literally 1 foul a minute.

Lolwut. Do you really believe you can't get called for a foul if you're going for the ball?

The body to body contact was fine but Embiid literally hit his arm.

This game it's been bad, but he earns 90-95% of his calls.

Same thing happened to Rudy in Philly last season. They had him in foul trouble with some soft fouls in the first half.

Yeah you're right probably closer to 97-98%. Actually watch him, instead of watching youtube/twitter clips.

When you say earn, do you mean like his acting job? If so, yes you are right. At least 97-98% of the time, he earns his calls with his acting skills.

Either you are really committed to trolling, or just can't get past your bias, I can't decide which.
