Embiid is one of the worst players to watch. The nba gifts him free throws. He’s more of a product

If you think Embiid is a product, what about Giannis. Giannis is far less talented offensively. Gets away with his many charges, and fouls. I'd say half the stars in the league are manufactured. Embiid is one of the most versatile offensively. He just sucks at doubles. Manufactured stars IMO, Jayson Tatum, Giannis, James Harden right now from this era.

On what planet is Jayson Tatum a manufacturer star?

LMFAO

5.2 FTA per game screams manufactured

Embiid haters are fuming.

I don't hate Embiid, I hate how he's allowed to play by a different set of rules than everyone else.

Imagine peak LeBron with this sort of whistle

[WillyJakkz]

Refs have got to discern between intentionally stepping underneath someone and a legit close out. Not letter of the law.

Sabonis didn't intentionally slide his foot under Porzingis.

KP with 5 blocks already. A beast downlow

Make that 6.. we might see 10

What happened to Kevin Huerter? Man has disappeared

Good player and guy but offensively his game is bi polar.

[JujitsuFlip]

What the heck are these defensive matchups Mike Brown is running?!

Fox on Brown and Huerter on KP

[Chuck Everett]

Boston literally getting whatever shot they want on offense. Until the Kings can get multiple stops in a row, they are just a fun team in the regular season and playoff fodder.

If you go underneath its a flag 1. Doesn't have to be intentional. It's been that way for years.

[PierceFan4ever]

Celtics are a completely different team with Porzingis out there. The gap between him and Horford is so massive and his scoring threat changes everything for the team. Not to mention rim protection.

[Lunartic]

Go back and read my post about the refereeing changing the defence. The dude is the benefactor of touch foul calls that nobody else in the league gets.

Imagine pretending like racking up cheap fouls doesn't impact how aggressive a player can defend

It was the same dudes defending Harden too, they don't care how fraudulent their players are or how far off a cliff they fall in the playoffs, they just want RS bragging rights.

so you acknowledge that teams start off aggressive against Embiid but can't see how that could lead to fouls? imagine that

Ah yes- aggressive defense is actually bad and only soft defense should be played or else Mr. Crybaby flopping ogre will get upset and flail even more

Kings are shooting 48% from 2 and 3 and losing by 23

They're getting killed 25 to 4 in fastbreak pts tho.

[AussieCeltic]

I need 2 points from Brown and 1 rebound from KP for a $1200 collect. I need Kings to go on a run so they come back in

Defense is a thing. Who knew?

[CelticSooner]

LIGHT THE GREEN

[Charlesareed]

The Celtics are just miles better the the kings and they doing this without tatum & horford

[RB34]

How did Ellis hit that?!?

They have killed this team the last two years. To say it's a bad matchup is an understatement.
