That’s a charge, but Embiid seems to always get the benefit of the doubt.

He's certainly paying homage to Wilt by going from 33 ppg in the regular season to 21 ppg so far in the playoffs.

I hate how every close playoff game has this same scenario. It’s like clock work. Charge or block to determine the game.

Smart's feet are set and he is leaning a bit but that isn't leaning INTO the foul. He is bracing for the impact. Slow-mo makes it look more dramatic.

That’s a charge but hate the charges where the defender literally slips in at the last moment. NBA needs to address it.
