HAHAHHAHHA

Foul baiting awful NBA rules isn't crafty

I bet Young wont try this in the olympics where they won't give him that BS call

Can't wait for the nba to fix this BS

It should even be considered an offensive foul


I agree that the offensive foul baiting shouldn't be allowed, but as long as it is you have to admit there's some craft in the guys who are really good at it, like Trae and Harden.

Thought he just picked up his 2nd courtesy of Trae? Maybe the one I thought was on him earlier was actually on Thybulle, if so - my mistake!

I can get on the court and flop and foul bait easily since I way so much less than these guys

The smaller you are, the better it is for you getting calls


I mean the biggest guy in the league, playing on the opposing team, is the guy who's baited the most fouls out of anyone this year...

It's definitely a skill, man. Probably shouldn't be, but for however long it's legal, it is.

Sixers fans crying about Trae's foul baiting is equally as funny as Hawks fans crying about Embiid's foul baiting.

Try watching the game....

lol man no need to be sassy, I am watching the game. You've never misremembered which player committed a foul before?


Maybe if I was Marv Albert age, but I'm not.

This series is basically which team's flopper has the better defenders.
The Greatest of All Time debate in basketball is essentially who has the greatest basketball resume of the player who has the best highlights instead of who is the best player

Us Hawks fans know Trae is using the rules of the game to his advantage and most are not fouls. However, as with most refing, just be consistent.In the first two games the 76ers had a +18 ft advantage.

Philadelphia can win it all because no team has an answer for Embiid.

They actually put Snell in to the start the second half? I was thinking that they should've done that to get Hill out of there.

Does John Collins know how to play Simmons in the post. Come on Collins. Freaking 6 foot 1 Kyle Lowry can keep Simmons off
The low block.

Simmons is worst free shooter than Dwight Howard. That’s saying something.

Its shameful for an NBA wing player to miss free throw after free throw so badly

It's crazy to me that Simmons still hasn't developed anything resembling a jump shot.

Please tell me embiid didn’t just hurt his knee worse. I thought I saw him limping for a second
