Walt I thought you were old school. When a small guy comes through the lane you have to hit him to let him know that he can’t come in here.
I’ve had no issue with embiid’s physical play other than the Robinson flagrant. This game is about physicality and in the playoffs you have to play a mental and physical game. He set the tone of that game and that’s how you play to dare the refs to keep making those calls.
I had no issue when he played the raptors and he brought that level of physicality and I had no problem when pascal cracked his face.
In the regular you might not allow that kind of thing because the game is soft now and everything is a flagrant. there is no way anyone is ejecting the mvp of the league because he took Robinson out of the air.
With that said I’ve loved the level of play in this series. It’s a war of attrition and exactly what this league needs. Give me this kind of competition all day everyday.
