Brunson flops just as much as Embiid man. Probably more considering he has the ball a lot more in his hands.

Knicks have to be the most fraudulent 2 seed in recent memory. They are a one man army. Brunson cannot do everything

Watching for 3 minutes and it's already a vintage Scott Foster game....missed foul on Embiid on OG layup, missed foul on Hartenstein for holding Embiid jersey and then gets the wrong call on the out of bounds.

Yeah, but when Embiid flops he can kill someone out there at 300lbs. No regard for human ankles, knees, or groin.

yes, but if ur gonna call it u gotta call both ways
every Embiid screen is blatant moving screen, he actively moves his feet and hips to create contact with the player being screened - Maxey can shoot whenever he wants behind this bs..

pretty egregious stuff

I need the Knicks to sign Willie Cauley-Stein just to see the lineup of Hartenstein, Hart, and Stein

They're going against a team that would have been the 2nd or 3rd seed if Embiid didn't miss a ton of time. This should be a good series. I don't understand the dig.

Embiid does get a lot of love for a guy that size. You can be way more physical with Jokic
