Also one hell of a band name. I think they opened Coachella this year.


Yep, he's a JAG without a 1-in-million whistle. Without defenders needing to be cautious of a super friendly whistle, you can all but guarantee he's going to shoot < 50% from the field every night in the playoffs.

Give that whistle to a guy like Jokic and we're talking a guy who'd be a unanimous GOAT.

Embiid is so annoying. Punk cries for fouls non-stop and fouls wrecklessly on the other end.

Embiid doesn't ever seem to try and actually score the ball, just farm free throws.

That's the best part! Even with the whistle other guys don't have, his low BBIQ and anxiety will ensure he has a bad playoff game. That's his entire history! :lol:

Got all those soft calls and then whined about a clear foul he committed. Embiid is ridiculous.

I'm not sure what you're supposed to do with Embiid. He's allowed to be super physical/dirty on offense, but if you breathe on him, it's a foul. Hell, even if you don't go into him at all and it's only Embiid initiating contact, it might be a foul on you.
