Have you got any idea of Embiid’s FT numbers in playoffs for the last two years? It’s a good thing to check before posting baiting memes.


Are they just as embarrassing as his RS free throw attempts?

I loved the game, especially the love the Raptors fans gave Kyle Lowry.

The most intriguing story heading into the playoffs for me is what is the status of Kawhi? I've yet to hear anybody rule him out altogether for the playoffs. If Kawhi is healthy and ready to go, the Clippers are my pick to win the whole thing.

5 on 8.

Adam Silver can’t think this is what fans want to see in the playoffs -

Nice job! I caught mine 3 years ago at Madison square and ended up giving it to a Nix fan friend. Fun feeling though. You catch yours clean or on a reflection? Mine was around forehead level like catching a football.

Umm...65 free throws?


A tad exaggeration :lol:


And for all of Bickerstaff's whining about Embiid's free throws, I have two things to say: 1) you are trying to guard one of the 2-3 best players in the world with MOSES FREAKING BROWN (are you REALLY surprised that Brown is struggling?); and 2) if you don't want to send Embiid to the line, well, I will let Embiid tell you himself:

"If I'm in the penalty, you should know what's coming. You should be studying the game, you should know me by now. You know that at some point, if we're in the penalty, I'm going to swipe through and I'm going to the free throw line. So keep your hands off of me."

KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF HIM. Guard him straight up.

Embiid is simply too big, too strong and too skilled to be guarded without fouling. Now Harden is a totally different case but Embiid deserves most free throws he gets.

They needed 40+ FTs against a Cavs team struggling without its 2 most important players.

They’re a 2nd round exit unless they get some luck with injuries.
