Seems more like he took his frustration out on Mitchell than that he was trying to protect himself. He would be better served just admitting his emotions got the best of him and apologizing imo. Saying you were doing it for protection looks worse.phillynative wrote:Iverson Armband wrote:Jo is full of chit lol, but I’m beginning to hate this Knicks team so whatever.
He was frustrated with the no call at the other end , but I do suspect that after he grabbed Mitchell he didnt want him falling near his legs and I don't blame him. It's just the play all together wasnt worth it. I'm not mad at the fire he displayed. Everyone always talk about how mopey and dejected he looks well we saw none of that tonight and I was pleased. He just has to play smarter so he can be available.hookshot199 wrote:Iverson Armband wrote:Jo is full of chit lol, but I’m beginning to hate this Knicks team so whatever.
It was a dirty play, and had it not been for the horrible officiating at the end of game 2 I would have been okay with a flagrant 2 and ejection. But in light of the Maxxey missed calls in game 2, it was okay not to eject him. I will also say, we don't want him shooting seven threes in any game and on defense we need to get more consistent play from Oubre and Tobias...and any play from Hield. Let's just say game 2 and game 3 are a wash. Now we have to win game 4 the good old fashioned way - play your position and stay out of foul trouble. If we can win two and even the series, we've got a chance. All the while Embiid wll be getting healtier.
It's been 41 years since I saw the 1983 Sixers beat the Knicks in the first round at Madison Square Garden. That team went on to win it all. We have a chance.76thBearCub wrote:This is one goofy ass organization. Whatcha guna do tho

Oh yeah that was me, but after reading stuff like this, it's no wonder the GB is the way it is when it comes to Joel and the sixers.
Both things can be true, the Mitchell play wasn't ideal, but under the circumstances what does anyone posting on RealGM do different in that situation if you're Joel Embiid?
Man at halftime I would have loved that bet and the value was outstanding.
