I didn't watch the game but this looks like the refs still give him those bulls*** calls when they let everybody else in the playoffs play physical as hell. Embiid is just like Harden to me - he will fail when the refs swallow their whistle and things get tough because he's not used to not getting dozens of free throws. Those dirty plays are just the icing on the cake..
Neutral Fan here.
A majority of those were legit fouls (by the book). Watch the game, you're missing out on an intense series.
Embiid definitely has an excellent sense of what gets called and what doesn't AND he's able to gamify it. But the refs have no choice to blow the whistle; otherwise you're tossing out the rulebook.
Yes, that play on Mitchell Robinson was extremely dangerous and dirty. And he probably should have been ejected
The popular, casual take is to now just question any of Joel's FTs. He's this generation's Shaq - he's impossible to guard and physically dominant. You could realistically call a foul every time he goes to work on the offensive end.
bull. Embiid is the softest of jumpshooters. Big for nothing as they say. Once a talented player now resorts to flailing and begging for fouls... This eras Shaq... Give me a break.
