wow that was truly hard to watch, soooo embarrassing the way he just falls down without contact. even more embarrassing that the refs fall for it over and over again, yikes

It's become a "shoot and fall down" league.

And rarely does an offensive player who initiates contact get called for the foul, whether it's driuving to the basket or disloging their defender.

Until these problems get fixed we're going to see a league where it's impossible to defend some players because they aren't held to the rules.

Could you imagine if roles were reversed? A couple posters on this forum would be calling for a playoff ban for Robinson tbh...
- Sixers are 5-2 without him even playing a minute in playoff games
- he averages 22ppg on 49% TS in 9 elimination games
- the ONLY MVP in NBA history not to make a conference finals
- 0-3 in game 7’s averaging 49% shooting and 5.3 turnovers

Intentionally going for a guy’s legs is a good way to injure someone.

if this is Draymond he is suspended for life. NBA where officiating is based on who you are.

I agree, the title of this thread goes too far.

As annoying as their threads and comments might be this is the same thing in the opposite direction with that title.

You're not upset with Embiid, he's just a tall, much wider, very slow version of James Harden.

You're upset with the rules. And should be targeting them as such.

What the hell? I haven’t been watching that game. Did he get ejected for that?

That’s a real dangerous thing to do.

See... everyone knows Knicks got away by mugging Maxey. However, by having players like Embiid and Lowry in your team, there really isnt much comment.

Embiid is everything that is wrong with the NBA. But at least karma is a thing.

That is wild if the NBA says that’s an acceptable thing to have happening in a game.
