Both the Bulls and Sixers played a back to back over the weekend, bet the under.

Luka might be out and Kyrie back to playing 50%’of the games because kids on venus don’t have fresh drinking water so… good bet

Since everything is called for a technical.

Embiid gets away with so much pushing off with the off arm.

Embiid gets away with so much **** it's ridiculous. Gets so many superstar calls.

Embiid feels like a manufactured superstar. I’m sorry the nba allows him to get away with fouls and they give him foul calls

Lmao
I'll give you that Embiid get's calls, a lot of them. He also is the most dominant post and probably midrange player right now. There is nothing manufactured about that. He is the #1 per minute points leader in NBA history. Higher than Jordan and Luka.

Are we seriously getting on his case because he makes his ft's and get's calls. For all the calls you think he's rewarded with, there are so many non calls. This narrative that he's a grifter is so lazy.

I guess that's what people say when he's so utterly dominant. Need to find excuses to make sense of it.

Not to the level of Embiid.

Okay and? The NBA allows it? NOt sure why you're hating on someone who takes advantage of it. He's good enough that if they didn't call those, he'd just find other ways to score. In fact lets just take all free throws away, and let players be hacked every time down the court. Please...

This is stupidest attempt at an argument I've seen on here.

"Yeah well he gets away with it so don't point it out!"

Your other exaggeration is also hilariously ridiculous.

Oh I see we don't agree with something so we call it stupid? Penalizing a player for taking advantage of rules isn't an issue with the rules. It's on the rule makers.

I'm also not exaggerating on the other 2 points. He's that good, only other players on his level are Jokic ( lower volume), Durant ( midrange), Booker and DeRozan. There is no one who has both low post and midrange dominance at his volume.

I love brevin knights adoration for kyrie, it’s like only another league point guard could understand the pure magic he is mustering up vs the grizz here in first half. maxi and bertans were solid too, should be a great second half.

It's not taking advantage of rules, it's not being called for pushing off by horrible referees.

Who wins?
