General board going nuts about the "flop" by Embiid. I've never been his #1 supporter or anything, but while leaning forward, a 240 guy leans into him and bumps in the back. All while playing with a legit knee injury. I don't really see this is a flop imo

Why are we using Melton as a driver all of a sudden?

They're killing us in transition. We have no movement on offense right now without Harden.

I can't believe this man doesn't have a DPOY! (we need something to complain about)
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

Embiid embellished but it was clearly a foul.

Embiid is really looked in defense.

As long as we keep the distance we're still in the game

Embiid with a bum knee is way better defensively than the Joker could ever be, but that raptor stats though...

I thought it was pretty clearly a flop.

I also thought it was pretty clearly a foul, and one that they likely wouldn't have given him had he not flopped simply because he's so big. So, smart play.
