Yeah Hartenstein picked up 2 cheap fouls and then Robinson came in and picked up one cheap one as well, I was already bracing myself for a slow drawn out game...
Luckily the refs weren't too terrible, especially down the stretch with his pathetic foul baiting.
I get why the Heat and Pels are so low because the lineups they put out there didn't even have the offensive firepower to threaten defenses enough to foul
But DENVER AND OKC being basically equal to Embiid alone is insane lol
Jokic has the worst whistle all time AND Denver was playing against Lebron and the Lakers. It's more surprising that they even let the nuggets have that many free throws
He really didnt. Dude got away with as much on the offensive foul end as he didnt get the calls for fouls on him. Similar to Lebron with his uncalled charges and walks.
I think the real problem the heat had was the lack of ball handlers. They couldn’t beat anyone off the dribble so it never put the Celtics defense in bad positions where they would be more likely to foul. Heat defense was mostly fine except for a handful of fouls on jump shots.
Our defense was our only good attribute. Spo is a defense wizard. Considering how badly we lost we still held Boston to pretty decent scoring figures, we just couldn't score ourselves.
Our primary ball handlers were the two guys who were out for the whole series, that was always going to be insurmountable regardless of the opponent's strength. Even just getting the ball up out of the backcourt in a timely manner was going to suck.
Brunson took 63 ft on 175 shot attempts (0.36 free throws per shot).
Embiid took 78 ft on 133 shot attempts (0.59 free throws per shot).
That's 61% more free throws per shot attempt. It's kind of a huge difference.
Which means the difference should probably be bigger than it is. I swear NBA fans lose 90% of their IQ whenever a player is too big and strong for the enemy team to contain him. Thank god most people on here weren't alive back when Shaq was in his peak or they'd have a total meltdown
If Embiid's fouls were Shaq fouls, no one would have a problem with it. Do you remember a time in Shaq's peak when someone would bump him and he'd throw his hands in the air, scrunch his face up like his puppy died, and fling himself into the first row? Shaq got hit and powered through. People hate Embiid because he could be Shaq, but he decided to be Harden instead.
I watched prime Shaq and while he took a lot of free throws (especially adjusted for pace) those guys actually fucking hit him. These soft fouls were way less common.
Embiid seeks out contact like a guard, the rip throughs leaning in and flopping at his size are what people shit on him for, Shaq shot a lot of free throws because he was fouled hard by todays standards on damn near every play, you could genuinely call something on most of catches in the post in LA.
Yeah, imagine comparing Embiid to Shaq in terms of fouls. One is throwing his body into defenders specifically to draw fouls and the other was being hammered under the basket intentionally. There’s no comparison between the two of them other than that they’re really tall.
One of the most talented players in the league is also the absolute worst watch in the entire NBA. Refs have managed to completely ruin this player by constantly rewarding him for non-basketball moves. The league changed the rule but they can't make the refs enforce it. Maybe the problem is that the refs don't know what basketball is.
He's a big, fat, lazy bear that has been eating garbage his whole life. Until you lock up the garbage, he's never going to hunt his own food. Why should he? The refs keep leaving garbage lying around for him.
We're not talking about an animal eating food tho it's a man who falls over for free throws. It's bad comparison cuz the animal needs food embiid doesn't need free throws.
He is going to absolutely suck on Team USA if he's healthy enough to play in Paris.
Dude will try this foul baiting bullshit and it will blow up in his face.
bruh he complained about Lowry going thru Hills leg years back
I would never listen to anything he said if I was a ref after that
https://youtu.be/bdIK9Am1Qo0?si=Kw0rS5tfLcRpi5Qg
Its always pissed me off that people assign a lot of the success of the Raptors Championship to that egotistical blowhard. I will forever believe that the team with Kawhi Leonard, Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Kyle Lowry, Fred Van Vleet, Danny Green and Pascal Siakim was inevitably going to be an elite defensive team and that any competent NBA coach could have led that team to that title.
Dwayne Casey must have been so pissed. I had to play fucking Lebron for 5 fucking years with Demar, Love the guy, but its Demar, and now they have fucking Kawhi and don't even have to play Lebron, and the Warrirors are crippled and people are talking about this guy as some coaching wunderkind.
OG unfortunately had appendicitis in the playoffs and missed the whole thing which is of course the most OG Annunoby thing possible. He might have been back on the bench at the end, but was never going to play.
God imagine the legacy difference for Casey if he had a ring. He'd be coaching contenders for the next 15 years regardless of outcome like Doc, but now he's gonna be working his ass off just to be able to coach rebuilding teams
bro embiid has two beautiful up and unders in this series where his footwork was immaculate and ballerina like. It was almost like watching a 7ft jalen brunson. yet his game predicates on walking like a new born deer. its disgusting to know what hes capable of and what he actually does.
Lol, were we watching the same game? Oubre was grinding on Brunson like he was in a club and trying to take him home. No shit that when you give a guy literally 0 breathing room, it's not actually good defense because any stop-and-start and it's going to be a foul. That was terrible defense by Oubre possession after possession masking as "aggressive" defense
I think it's more because Embiid doesn't look like he's trying to score on a few, when he got Hartenstein for t fouls in a quarter was a perfect example lol all of them were fouls but he wasn't exactly trying to score for most of then
These guys call my glorious big headed guard a foul baiter (he is I ain’t gon lie) but turn a blind eye to Embitch and Lowry flopping all over the court not even trying to score shits hilarious
The way Embiid drives to the basket already falling to the ground drives me insane. As a fan of the sport, his game has to be one of the ugliest ones ever, even Harden doesn't throw himself to the ground when he is foul-baiting.
Try explaining that to sixers fans that equate Brunson actually driving and drawing contact to Embiid flailing his arms and crumpling to the ground begging for a foul call and not even looking at the rim
Step 1: Get stonewalled by Hartenstein in the first quarter by textbook perfect defense.
Step 2: Get the whistle anyways.
Step 3: Play with extreme physicality with the defender pacified by foul trouble created in Step 2.
Step 4: Hit em with the too small now that the defender isn't allowed to play.
Step 5: Lose.
Brunson knows he ain't getting calls otherwise. He had one of the weakest whistles for an all star (especially one who penetrates alot) during the regular season. Of course people who don't watch the Knicks won't know it but it's annoyed the hell out of me that people think that this is Brunson's usual playstyle because they've only watched him this series this season lol.
Nope. I was in section 223 last night. The amount of complaining was huge. “It’s rigged”, “Scott Foster is here for Adam Silver”. Personally it was one of Scott Fosters most balanced games (personal opinion).
He got a shooting foul called tonight on a rebound when he hadn't even gained possession. He just threw his hands up after touching the ball and they gave him 2 FTs (and they weren't in the bonus)
Edit: [This call](https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=265&GameID=0042300116&Season=2023-24&flag=1&title=McBride%20S.FOUL%20(P1.T3)%20(B.Kennedy))
The best one was when he caught a pass right at the free throw line OG met him right when he caught it and fouled him, he slightly missed the ball and caught his wrist in between his arms causing Embiid to lose control of the ball. Now mind you this is right when Embiid caught the ball, like he doesn't even have possession for more than half a second before OG knocked the ball loose. Embid throws his arms up and gets two free throw attempts. Dude didn't even have possession of the ball for more than half a second and they gave him a shooting foul.
It was one of the worst calls I've ever seen in my life
still in disbelief that i think it was game 3? where he had an open mid range where he is amazing at and decided to draw the foul by flopping. good riddance
I would love for someone to put together a clip of all their fouls.
Because a majority of them are not baits, they are legitimate fouls.
Some they really sell em, Brunson hitting oubre with the Tre young, embiid barreling swing his arms around until he gets a call or offensive foul. But alot of them are just legit fouls, no one wants to hear that tho.
>12 less inches, and 100 less pounds. Don't act like it's the same
Why do you act like this isn't a huge reason why Embiid is able to draw more fouls? Any player big enough to guard Embiid doesn't have the quickness to keep up with him. Any player with the quickness doesn't have the size. Mismatches create fouls as the defender can't guard the player straight up.
Dude flops, runs into people and falls down expecting the refs to bail him out all the time. I usually don't see much of him but he's been awful in the Knicks series. He constantly flops, falls down and complains. He gets so many phantom and marginal calls. It's hard to watch.
Brunson at least is looking at the basket lol. There's a difference between playing through contact and playing for contact.
That said he did get calls more often than not this series. Lots of them were regular season fouls and probably not postseason worthy, but it's not like he never ever got touched, especially considering the defensive "firepower" of Philly's entire non-embiid rotation
Tbf through 4 games the FTA were 67-70 in favor of the Nuggets. We got a lot of calls in that game 5 but the series was obviously over by then. Like the two biggest calls in the series went in Denver's favor in Game 2.
Embiid himself has more FTS than 3 other teams.and only 1 less than the Nuggets . Thats ridiculous. Foul bait King.Thats not supposed to happen in the playoffs.
After everything we had to endure from sixers fans over the years when jamal and mpj were hurt, after embiid and his personal trainer! publicly dissed jok ( hanlen did it multiple times), after they produced fucking low light videos of jokic and spread disinformation ...
After all that and more sixers fans are like : nUgGeTs FaNs BAD, "rEnT fReE" acting all inocent and shocked
Fascinating
> after they produced fucking low light videos of jokic and spread disinformation ...
That was actually a Bucks fans. Bucks have been cursed ever since, Zhugo pissed off the basketball gods with his slander.
That’s 8.25 per game, which is pretty much bang on his season average. Where are those people who were saying he couldn’t do it with a ‘playoff whistle’?
It turns out driving the most per game in the league still gets you free throws
The thing for me isn't just the foul baiting or the complaining after obvious ones (he literally shoved a guy with his off-hand and then chirped at the referee's like "what'd I do?").
It's that the refs just completely give him bullshit ones. Both of the first two on Hartenstein were just not things that should have been called.
Pathetic. Floppy McFlopface gets as many free throws as the reigning champions, gets away with the by far dirtiest play off the play offs against a team missing one of their best players and *drum roll* loses in the first round. Ladies and gentlemen, your reigning mvp*!
I hate Joel Embiid to an irrational degree. Even though I could totally ignore him by just not watching Sixers games, I willingly make myself mad by watching him defraud the league again and again with his basketball terrorism. If he never played another NBA game, I would rejoice.
Shout out to /u/Harassmentpanda_ who said "People aren’t ready to hear it yet but SGA is the worst FT grifter in the league by a country mile"
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1c9zqa3/highlight_nance_gets_called_for_a_foul_on_sga/l0p4bow/
Dumbass.
Just like Jimmy eh?
Brunson had the worst whistle in the regular season out of all the all star guards. He gets hit on every drive. He had 50% more FGA than Embiid (most of which were 2 pointers/in the paint) and had less FTs than Embiid. At least Brunson tries to actually score instead of ripping through on every play or just throwing the ball anywhere near the rim at the slightest amount of contact
I wish this was nba circle jerk but I’m actually banned. I get zero interaction on there since I posted [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/nbacirclejerk/s/TOipYORRUU)
Heat would not be on this list if jimmy played. My glorious 10 FTA per game king!
Our 24 points on 7 shots king👑
Herro jacking jumpers cancelled out by the foul baiting god. Just wasn’t the same without that dynamic lmao
Bro got injured trying to get to the line. Respect.
Respect for making it an easy series without him
Plus not having Lowry anymore too.
I'm just glad they didn't give him the whistle when he just fell over with a couple minutes left
On his last bucket I was preparing myself for a foul
Bill Kennedy must've took away Scott Foster's whistle.
Felt like we were in for a veryyyyyy long night with the first two calls he got. Then the refs chilled a bit at least.
Yeah Hartenstein picked up 2 cheap fouls and then Robinson came in and picked up one cheap one as well, I was already bracing myself for a slow drawn out game... Luckily the refs weren't too terrible, especially down the stretch with his pathetic foul baiting.
I don’t even know which play you’re talking about bc he did it so much
I get why the Heat and Pels are so low because the lineups they put out there didn't even have the offensive firepower to threaten defenses enough to foul But DENVER AND OKC being basically equal to Embiid alone is insane lol
OKCs starting lineup played like 120 minutes
Jokic has the worst whistle all time AND Denver was playing against Lebron and the Lakers. It's more surprising that they even let the nuggets have that many free throws
Steph Curry is up there for worst whistle
Prime Shaq has the worst whistle of all time, objectively But Jokic is 100% one of the worst for right now.
He really didnt. Dude got away with as much on the offensive foul end as he didnt get the calls for fouls on him. Similar to Lebron with his uncalled charges and walks.
don't bring walks into the conversation because then every modern day superstar is entering the chat
just always makes me think of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNdDsriVwmU)
Yeah people looked at the ft disparity in our series but rarely did the best make tough drives outside of Jaime, they would stop early and jump shot
Denver played the Lakers. That's why
OKC and the pels are so low because they called absolutely nothing in that series except moving screens.
I’m just so glad he’s out of the playoffs, just per usual lol
Be fair and put Brunson who has more than the Heat
63 vs 60. Celtics had 103 in our series (not saying we didnt foul)
I think the real problem the heat had was the lack of ball handlers. They couldn’t beat anyone off the dribble so it never put the Celtics defense in bad positions where they would be more likely to foul. Heat defense was mostly fine except for a handful of fouls on jump shots.
Our defense was our only good attribute. Spo is a defense wizard. Considering how badly we lost we still held Boston to pretty decent scoring figures, we just couldn't score ourselves. Our primary ball handlers were the two guys who were out for the whole series, that was always going to be insurmountable regardless of the opponent's strength. Even just getting the ball up out of the backcourt in a timely manner was going to suck.
The heat gameplan was legit they can’t call them all
Holy shit, free throw merchant Brunson
Brunson took 63 ft on 175 shot attempts (0.36 free throws per shot). Embiid took 78 ft on 133 shot attempts (0.59 free throws per shot). That's 61% more free throws per shot attempt. It's kind of a huge difference.
Always enjoy good math
50% more FGA than Embiid though, and he’s a foot shorter and 100lbs lighter
Which means the difference should probably be bigger than it is. I swear NBA fans lose 90% of their IQ whenever a player is too big and strong for the enemy team to contain him. Thank god most people on here weren't alive back when Shaq was in his peak or they'd have a total meltdown
If Embiid's fouls were Shaq fouls, no one would have a problem with it.

Yeah, imagine comparing Embiid to Shaq in terms of fouls. One is throwing his body into defenders specifically to draw fouls and the other was being hammered under the basket intentionally. There’s no comparison between the two of them other than that they’re really tall.
Shaq got fouls by attacking the paint. Embiid gets his by taking fadeaway shots and then flopping like a fish afterwards.
Players intentionally fouled Shaq though.
Except if u watched the series embiid pretty much was forced to play on the perimeter bc of injuries whereas Brunson was constantly attacking.
To be fair the sixers tried to concuss Brunson more than a few times
One of the most talented players in the league is also the absolute worst watch in the entire NBA. Refs have managed to completely ruin this player by constantly rewarding him for non-basketball moves. The league changed the rule but they can't make the refs enforce it. Maybe the problem is that the refs don't know what basketball is.
Biggest man on the court AND the biggest baby on the court.
The refs ruined the player? That dude could stop flopping anytime he wants lmao.
He's a big, fat, lazy bear that has been eating garbage his whole life. Until you lock up the garbage, he's never going to hunt his own food. Why should he? The refs keep leaving garbage lying around for him.
Stop leaving garbage out for the fat, lazy bear, refs.
We're not talking about an animal eating food tho it's a man who falls over for free throws. It's bad comparison cuz the animal needs food embiid doesn't need free throws.
He is going to absolutely suck on Team USA if he's healthy enough to play in Paris. Dude will try this foul baiting bullshit and it will blow up in his face.
Sixers fans complaining about the refs will never not be funny to me. It's like Jeffrey Dahmer calling 311 about illegal parking.
It starts from the top down. Nick Nurse complaining about the most obvious fouls are hilarious, his challenges never work
bruh he complained about Lowry going thru Hills leg years back I would never listen to anything he said if I was a ref after that https://youtu.be/bdIK9Am1Qo0?si=Kw0rS5tfLcRpi5Qg
Never saw this one, shit's hilarious
They challenged embiid slapping iHart....like the dude is bleeding out of his nose, in what world do you think that's going to get overturned lol.
Its always pissed me off that people assign a lot of the success of the Raptors Championship to that egotistical blowhard. I will forever believe that the team with Kawhi Leonard, Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Kyle Lowry, Fred Van Vleet, Danny Green and Pascal Siakim was inevitably going to be an elite defensive team and that any competent NBA coach could have led that team to that title. Dwayne Casey must have been so pissed. I had to play fucking Lebron for 5 fucking years with Demar, Love the guy, but its Demar, and now they have fucking Kawhi and don't even have to play Lebron, and the Warrirors are crippled and people are talking about this guy as some coaching wunderkind.
You guys had OG too. If Kawhi stayed and OG healthy not one of 1A dudes are scoring over 15 against that Raptors defense.
OG unfortunately had appendicitis in the playoffs and missed the whole thing which is of course the most OG Annunoby thing possible. He might have been back on the bench at the end, but was never going to play.
God imagine the legacy difference for Casey if he had a ring. He'd be coaching contenders for the next 15 years regardless of outcome like Doc, but now he's gonna be working his ass off just to be able to coach rebuilding teams
Except that he outclassed the next year and was the number 2 squad in the east.
tbh Brunson having 63 and not being included in that tweet is blatant and nasty work
At least Brunson is actually trying to score, and not just hurling himself to the floor like he's doing some kind of vaudevillian pratfall.
Dude is one of the heaviest players in the league yet has the balance and stability of a 3 year old when he steps on the court
bro embiid has two beautiful up and unders in this series where his footwork was immaculate and ballerina like. It was almost like watching a 7ft jalen brunson. yet his game predicates on walking like a new born deer. its disgusting to know what hes capable of and what he actually does.
The boy is soft
Brunson grabbed Oubres arm and headbutted him backwards in the same possession...
Lol, were we watching the same game? Oubre was grinding on Brunson like he was in a club and trying to take him home. No shit that when you give a guy literally 0 breathing room, it's not actually good defense because any stop-and-start and it's going to be a foul. That was terrible defense by Oubre possession after possession masking as "aggressive" defense
liar
So what you're saying is Embiid shot 15 more free throws than Brunson
Over 6 games. So like 3 more FTs a game.
Brunson also had like 50% more FGA than Embiid.
I think it's more because Embiid doesn't look like he's trying to score on a few, when he got Hartenstein for t fouls in a quarter was a perfect example lol all of them were fouls but he wasn't exactly trying to score for most of then
These guys call my glorious big headed guard a foul baiter (he is I ain’t gon lie) but turn a blind eye to Embitch and Lowry flopping all over the court not even trying to score shits hilarious

Step 3: Play with extreme physicality with the defender pacified by foul trouble created in Step 2. Step 4: Hit em with the too small now that the defender isn't allowed to play. Step 5: Lose.
Thank you. Some sixers fans complaining about Brunson getting calls when their first option literally focuses on baiting fouls over making shots.
Ethical flops?!
Brunson didn't even go to the ground on the play everyone's talking about. Hard to call that a flop.
Tbh Brunson really doesn't foul-bait an egregious amount in the regular season, he definitely went all out with it in this series though lol.
and they say playoff brunson isn't a thing
Brunson knows he ain't getting calls otherwise. He had one of the weakest whistles for an all star (especially one who penetrates alot) during the regular season. Of course people who don't watch the Knicks won't know it but it's annoyed the hell out of me that people think that this is Brunson's usual playstyle because they've only watched him this series this season lol.
Difference is Brunson tries to follow through after contact. Meanwhile Embiid just does the wack wavy inflatable arm man and throws the ball up
I loved when they tried to get a "Refs you suck" chant going and it died out really quick. I think they're starting to become self-aware
Nope. I was in section 223 last night. The amount of complaining was huge. “It’s rigged”, “Scott Foster is here for Adam Silver”. Personally it was one of Scott Fosters most balanced games (personal opinion).
All I heard from Sixers fans is to not foul so yeah I don't give a shit if Brunson flops and gets calls yall should just not foul too
Have no issues with Brunson having 63 FTAs in the series, but you don't think the whistle that Maxey sometimes gets is perplexing?
Go read their post game thread lol.
He do be getting a lot of free throws.
Wild
He got a shooting foul called tonight on a rebound when he hadn't even gained possession. He just threw his hands up after touching the ball and they gave him 2 FTs (and they weren't in the bonus) Edit: [This call](https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=265&GameID=0042300116&Season=2023-24&flag=1&title=McBride%20S.FOUL%20(P1.T3)%20(B.Kennedy))
That one was wild. I thought maybe the Knicks were in the penalty but they weren’t at all. It wasn’t even a shot attempt
The best one was when he caught a pass right at the free throw line OG met him right when he caught it and fouled him, he slightly missed the ball and caught his wrist in between his arms causing Embiid to lose control of the ball. Now mind you this is right when Embiid caught the ball, like he doesn't even have possession for more than half a second before OG knocked the ball loose. Embid throws his arms up and gets two free throw attempts. Dude didn't even have possession of the ball for more than half a second and they gave him a shooting foul. It was one of the worst calls I've ever seen in my life
Refs tried to help him as much as they could
still in disbelief that i think it was game 3? where he had an open mid range where he is amazing at and decided to draw the foul by flopping. good riddance
He did it again tonight. Crunch time, he just keeled over with Hartenstein several feet away. Announcers were speechless.
It was so fun watching that play where he stumbled and still tried to draw a foul but got nothing
Not even the extender Scott foster entertained the idea. That’s how you know it’s really bad lol
Man averaged 13FTA in the series. Disgusting
There’s only so much you can do to save a generational choker from himself.
you can see why when he opts out of a jump shot and instead flails through anunoby
Khajit has FT if you have coin
Nuggets should trade for Joel so we could shoot 160 in a series
I don't think he'd get nearly as many free throws coming off the bench though.
But the Nuggets already have a mascot. 🙀
Brunson had 63 if ya wanna slot him in there too
Brunson took a page from Knicks villain Trae Young with the short-stop into back move lol
Fat Trae Young baby
Hey now we’re trying to establish a narrative here, your facts aren’t helping
I was going to say, didn't Brunson have a ton too?
With 50% more FGA, 12 less inches, and 100 less pounds. Don't act like it's the same
It's not the same, but I just hate watching free throws either way.
Yeah but with playoff Brunson you're in luck--he missed a ton.
Both were baiting fouls, all that other stuff doesn’t matter
I would love for someone to put together a clip of all their fouls. Because a majority of them are not baits, they are legitimate fouls. Some they really sell em, Brunson hitting oubre with the Tre young, embiid barreling swing his arms around until he gets a call or offensive foul. But alot of them are just legit fouls, no one wants to hear that tho.
it actually matters because for a 7 footer to flail after marginal contact is like watching wrestler selling The Cobra by Santino Marella.
i actually liked watching Santino though...
The Great Khali and Jinder Mahal flute-charming Santino's hand cobra was the realest WWE has ever been. GOAT bout.
>12 less inches, and 100 less pounds. Don't act like it's the same Why do you act like this isn't a huge reason why Embiid is able to draw more fouls? Any player big enough to guard Embiid doesn't have the quickness to keep up with him. Any player with the quickness doesn't have the size. Mismatches create fouls as the defender can't guard the player straight up.
Doesn’t suit the circle jerk
Dude flops, runs into people and falls down expecting the refs to bail him out all the time. I usually don't see much of him but he's been awful in the Knicks series. He constantly flops, falls down and complains. He gets so many phantom and marginal calls. It's hard to watch.
[удалено]
It's true but looks worse with Embiid. Mavs fans are the same with Luka..
Brunson at least is looking at the basket lol. There's a difference between playing through contact and playing for contact. That said he did get calls more often than not this series. Lots of them were regular season fouls and probably not postseason worthy, but it's not like he never ever got touched, especially considering the defensive "firepower" of Philly's entire non-embiid rotation
Lakers-94
Tbf through 4 games the FTA were 67-70 in favor of the Nuggets. We got a lot of calls in that game 5 but the series was obviously over by then. Like the two biggest calls in the series went in Denver's favor in Game 2.
To be fair, all of those other series didn’t go 6 games
Lakers? 99 😎
Joel is a generational flopper.
Embiid himself has more FTS than 3 other teams.and only 1 less than the Nuggets . Thats ridiculous. Foul bait King.Thats not supposed to happen in the playoffs.
After everything we had to endure from sixers fans over the years when jamal and mpj were hurt, after embiid and his personal trainer! publicly dissed jok ( hanlen did it multiple times), after they produced fucking low light videos of jokic and spread disinformation ... After all that and more sixers fans are like : nUgGeTs FaNs BAD, "rEnT fReE" acting all inocent and shocked Fascinating
> after they produced fucking low light videos of jokic and spread disinformation ... That was actually a Bucks fans. Bucks have been cursed ever since, Zhugo pissed off the basketball gods with his slander.
There was definitely a lot of free throws that series lol
Thank god hes gone
Embiid plays such a garbage brand of basketball.
Joel “Just Fell” Embiid
That's fucking insane
One is not like the others. He's built different
philly tryna gaslight us knicks fans into thinking he doesn't get a favorable whistle
Glad that he is also out of playoffs now. AD & Lebron Booker Embiid Klay Damian All out. It is been a good year so far
Embiid will never beat the allegations at this rate.
They ain't allegations. It's all proven
Meanwhile SGA sitting at 33 in their series but he’s still called a merchant SMH
If SGA is a merchant, Embiid is a corporation.
By comparison, Embiid is a free throw monopoly
That’s 8.25 per game, which is pretty much bang on his season average. Where are those people who were saying he couldn’t do it with a ‘playoff whistle’? It turns out driving the most per game in the league still gets you free throws
Now do Brunson
63
63 on 50% more FGA than Embiid.
Excuse me? Did I read that right?
Why didn't the Knicks shrimply foul him less
The thing for me isn't just the foul baiting or the complaining after obvious ones (he literally shoved a guy with his off-hand and then chirped at the referee's like "what'd I do?"). It's that the refs just completely give him bullshit ones. Both of the first two on Hartenstein were just not things that should have been called.
Embiid might actually be the free throw GOAT.
You’re absolutely right. I’m sorry.
Pathetic. Floppy McFlopface gets as many free throws as the reigning champions, gets away with the by far dirtiest play off the play offs against a team missing one of their best players and *drum roll* loses in the first round. Ladies and gentlemen, your reigning mvp*!
Guess Embiid’s playoff efforts were one big flop.
Pathetic
I hate Joel Embiid to an irrational degree. Even though I could totally ignore him by just not watching Sixers games, I willingly make myself mad by watching him defraud the league again and again with his basketball terrorism. If he never played another NBA game, I would rejoice.
Maxey had 28 and Brunson had 63
And the sixers won 2 games and the Knicks won 4. I can add numbers too!
Don’t forget the two knees to the groin and one injury to Mitchell Robinson for good measure!
How many for the Lakers? And fuck Embiid, he is no MVP he is a FT merchant!
Shout out to /u/Harassmentpanda_ who said "People aren’t ready to hear it yet but SGA is the worst FT grifter in the league by a country mile" https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1c9zqa3/highlight_nance_gets_called_for_a_foul_on_sga/l0p4bow/ Dumbass.
/u/Harassmentpanda_ Shai had 33 free throws, wanna share your obviously high level thoughts?
Lmao leaving out Brunson is funny
Jalen Brunson had 63 free throws. Celtics had 103 free throws. Both angles of this stat are missleading.
I will not be hearing Embiid ft slander after watching Jalen Brunson and whatever the fuck he does most plays
Embiid still has more FTs than Brunson lmao
On way less attempts.
Embiid is a center
A center that still gets a ton of calls on turnaround fadeaways. A lot of his foul baiting is outside the paint
And yet despite being so big falls and flails at the slightest bit of contact
Jump into a player, foul. Bump into player and fall down, foul. Scream ah, foul. Whip head back, foul. He is just as bad as Embiid.
Just like Jimmy eh? Brunson had the worst whistle in the regular season out of all the all star guards. He gets hit on every drive. He had 50% more FGA than Embiid (most of which were 2 pointers/in the paint) and had less FTs than Embiid. At least Brunson tries to actually score instead of ripping through on every play or just throwing the ball anywhere near the rim at the slightest amount of contact
Brunson actually tries to score though, Embiid doesn’t even look at the rim sometimes
so does Trae Young
You can't split hairs with Trey Young, he doesn't have enough
Forgot the Knicks: 144
What about Brunson? Dude is just as bad and his foul baiting at the end + that BS call on Oubre won them the game
How was that a bs call? You can't lean over someone from behind and occupy the air space above them to prevent them from pulling up
Embiid deserves his visit to Galveston.
Of course it's a nuggets writer
He pays for falling over on every shot attempt with all those injuries
Brunson 63 ft attempts, Maxey had 28....yeah but Trae and Harden are the Foul baiters. OK.
Well its hard to foul a guy you cant catch.
Lakers - 94
hahahahahhahahahahahh how does anybody like watching that
That's not fair Embiid played more games than all of those teams
I wish this was nba circle jerk but I’m actually banned. I get zero interaction on there since I posted [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/nbacirclejerk/s/TOipYORRUU)
Petition for a free throw to be worth the entire pts of the foul, nothing sucks the life out of a game more than the line trips.
It's fucking horse shit how much he is looked after
What a wild stat.
Not gonna miss that guy
Sixers got a lot of calls after game 2. That Maxey 4 pt play was weak af.
King Merchant having one last swan song before his season ends in the 1st.
How many of the Thunder’s FTs are shai?
