Brunson has 13 FTAs
Embiid has 11 FTAs
And people only notice Embiid’s.

Brunson does the annoying head tilt to get some of his fouls, but to an extent people overlook it because he's a manlet earning most of his amongst the trees.

We're watching, with our own two eyes, Embiid flopping/flailing and also getting fouls called while fading away with no contact (1st quarter).

I think it'd be less egregious if other guys would get the same favorable whistle, but nope. This whistle is granted to the 7ft, 280lb clumsy oaf who finds himself on the softest of shots/contact offensively, then has a favorable whistle while dangerously fouling the opponents.

Like, Maxey is amazing and fun to watch and his energy is infectious! I want him to become the superstar Philadelphia fans deserve!!

But I've watched for years Embiid be a massive PoS and the fact that he's gotten more flagrant fouls than Draymond in half as many games should tell you why any common sense, non-Philly fans despises him.

A legendary talent? Yes. A charitable man? Yes. A dirty clown on the court? Very much so.

I don't think Hield got that off in time

[SportsGuru08]

Surprised Hield didn't see any minutes in the third quarter.

[PhilBlackson]

It's actually crazy how many rebounds Hart gets.

No one gives as much effort as he does.

[PhilBlackson]

Paul Reed wanted the Knicks.

[Mk0]

Big hustle by the Sixers bench

[Patches Perry]

Great hustle by Hield there

[Johnny Bball]

That ball was Ob before the 3

Tobias Harris is a very bad basketball player. He's a complete non factor in a game he could easily use his size.

You're telling there's no way a g-league guy can do what he does? He's been scamming the league for a good 5 years now.

[Kordic27]

This is the hustle-iest game I’ve seen in a long time.

[D.Brasco]

I'm actually rooting for a game 7. This has been a fun series.

[azcatz11]

Philly needs to go to oubre every time down the court

[Reeko]

Why did Nurse bench Hield? He's a bad defender, but he's a great shooter and fresh.

That's why. If you don't play defense, you don't play for Nurse.

Scoring 17 points with 5 3s when so many of your regulars are struggling should offset that lol

We're talking about a guy who insisted on playing Pat McCaw serious rotation minutes. I'm just speaking to Nurse's mindset.

[Chuck Everett]

Oh my God, this game.

[Tor_Raps]

Maxey wondering why we can't get the Embiid/Brunson whistle lol

[Reeko]

Great pass by Brunson.

[seorang]

Knicks have done well exposing Maxey's terrible D

[G R E Y]

Brunson ISO tunnel vision is getting costly.

[Johnny Bball]

Its amusing to me how Maxey can blow by Hart of offense and can't keep up with DD on defense.
