Maxey didn't flop so it's not a foul.

Embiid is such a dirty flopper, the way he theatrically falls every time its just disgusting.

I get that Philly fans have to support their guy but I mean you can't deny Embiid is just not a fun player to watch with the constant flopping and flailing.

What Tatum did is exactly what Harden does every drive.

Guess it's clearly an offensive foul by Tatum too?

Embiid flopping 10 feet to the left wasn't a foul, so it's all even now bud.

Games like this from Tatum make me believe he’s knocking on the door for the leagues title of best player. Off night from the field but doing all the little things on both ends to contribute to winning. Owning the boards and coming up big in the clutch

Dirty secret....every offensive player/superstar does it every play.
