sick of having to educate you fools. Let the bias go...
watch 57 seconds. He didnt flop.. He trippled and it was because of knee on leg contact and a loss of footing. Imagine thinking this is no big deal to a center that is 7 foot 3 280... trey young gets this call and its called a flagrant so i dont want to hear ****. The best part is this dumbass in young legit told the refs to open their eyes... lol imagine trey young telling this to the refs
welp now we know why ben turned it on in the 3rd and it makes it look even worse for ben...

embiid admits to telling ben at half they are doubling me and copella
is trying to guard me half court and you need to be aggressive right now because there is tons of space.
Yep. Hunter is a big hit for the Hawks...Quote:

Green will be out for 2 weeks then reevaluated, given he was on that Lakers squad makes sense he got hurt.
Sixers players seem like they are pissed about Hawks fans cheering when Embiid was hobbling.

Trae Young is becoming the next RW (Russell Westbrook) in my eyes. He is annoying as hell :laugh2:Quote:

Play with the same high energy like Game 3. Ben needs to be 'aggressive.' Seth should be taking 12-15 shots. Let's steal Game 4 from the Hawks :hi5:
Ben has a huge size advantage often. If he can attack in transition and get catches on the move cutting like he did in the 3rd quarter it can be big. Idk about Seth. I feel like the more shots he gets the better but I think that is bc if he gets a lot of shots the offense is working well and he is finding open looks. I like Curry a lot but I really don’t see him creating his own. Maybe I am wrongQuote:

Joel is flopping. This is clear as day and is not debatable. You're letting the homer flag fly.Quote:

Didn't Philly do the same thing to Joakim Noah a few years ago?Quote:

so knee hit legs for a 7 foot 3 guy driving like a pg and you think he is able to keep himself up? if it was wade and his dumbass youd be screaming for days... Joel def draws contact and flops but only to people that have a bias is this one of those moments. We literally have video proof and you sit here and say na hes flopping. Have you ever played sports? def havent.Quote:

People also forget that Hinkie literally brought in a coach that taught Embiid to fall in ways to protect his surgically repaired foot too.Quote:

As for Embiid's "flopping" with the rip through that he and Harden (and now Young) does, that's more on the NBA than the player. #1 if you are a defender you should know not to defend with hands below your hips. #2, no one puts up a shot starting down at their knees. It should be an on the floor foul and no automatic shots.
Also, you do got to admit those three are great at the gamesmanship of them going to the FT line on every foul. They assume every foul is a shooting foul and really press the issue by having the rafs take them off the line.
I agree with everything here. I think Joel consistently being able turn double and triple teams into free throws has prevented offensive droughts for Philly. If they even start calling it a side out of bounces I feel it will make a difference and Philly will need more shot making from the supporting caste. Not sure if it would make a difference in the out come of this series but it is definitely something to watch imoQuote:

Every Capela foul I’ve seen has been hands up, hands up, pump fake drop down, Capela drops hands, Embiid comes under and up.
As a Sixers fan and Steelers fan I’ve seen for almost two decades that somehow the longest slowest worst pump fakes somehow be the most effective tool for Roethlisberger and Embiid. And it’s almost embarrassing for the defenses in year 19 and year 7 to be falling for it like this still. If you stay with arms up it’s not like Embiid drives fast enough you can’t keep up (especially Capela and Collins) and you might get some cheap offensive fouls out of him bodying you.

You're pointing to one play nobody cares about except you. He has flopped throughout this series and playoffs as a whole. Embellishing every little physical contact. He's a master actor. Be thankful he's developed this skill, it makes him nearly impossible to defend.Quote:

Likely better to have Thybulle play anyways. Allows Simmons and him to switch easier and he’s more active off ball offensively so if they try to hide Young on him, young will have to exert more effort.

If Kork comes out firing well it's gonna work. Noticing Trae on him. Kork has enough of a game to make him work hard.Quote:

Welp Starting Korkmaz might have been a mistake.
I already don't like it, Kork has been lost on defense a couple times.Quote:

Yup. And he's only been OK on offense. Rather see Thybulle in there and be moving and creating havoc on defense.Quote:

Sixers heating up.
Thybulle looked the rim eye to eye on that dunk. Sheeeeeeeesh
Galinari is in year 12?!? Holy hell.
Trae Young is getting heat on his right shoulder and has tape on it. Having a bad shooting night too. Wonder what's going on with it.
Need to start running him through some screens on that shoulder [emoji48]Quote:
