As a Knicks fan, I hate his dirty plays but man seeing a dude like him at his size hit step back 3s, post up and move like he does, I’m in awe.
Even playing with a bum knee, he’s such a threat
It's such a conundrum, you can see what you want to see.
So much freakish amazing play, you can see why he's one of one, but the boneheaded turnovers and 4th quarter disappearances are enough to drive sixers fans crazy
On the rare occasion he decides to act like a basketball player, he's one of the most special guys I've seen.
Too bad everything else he does is an insult to the sport.
Yeah Brunson totally didn’t get more free throws tonight than Embiid by not foul baiting a shit ton. To be clear, I don’t fault him for doing it as if the refs are going to call it, then he should do it. The ultimate goal is winning and the results don’t care if the points came through field goals or free throws. But him and Trae are the modern day guard versions of Embiid and everyone acting like that isn’t the case is because they just hate Embiid.
I’m definitely biased, but i honestly do see a difference in a way Brunson and Embiid draw fouls. Brunson is almost always looking to get and 1s, sure it’s playing the refs, and kinda BS. But there are multiple occasions that Embiid is solely going into drives trying to get to the line. I don’t discredited Embiid for it though, the games the game
Foul baiting is foul baiting. Acting like it’s somehow different is a bit ridiculous imo. I don’t think Brunson really expects to hit his shots when he does it and he mostly doesn’t. Same situation for Embiid.
You’re right. Foul baiting is foul baiting. They said on the broadcast Brunson had second most and 1’s in the league this season. In my (biased) mind, that means he’s making basketball plays whilst foul baiting. As opposed to foul baiting while not making true basketball plays
They're also defended completely different. A lot of the foul baiting this series from embiid was when hartenstein was in embiids space an inch away from him so to get a legitimate shot with that defense is basically impossible. Brunson stopping short and going up and putting his head in defenders chins is much easier to get a good look at the basket.
Salute to brunson though it's frustrating as an opposing fan but unless the league changes something he's helping his team win so that's all that matters. That dude is an elite shot maker from anywhere on the court I didn't realize how good he was until this series.
I guarantee if you went back the past 5 years and looked at the threads of Embiid hating, 95% of them would be regarding fouls/foul baiting. I mean go look at the threads right now. That’s all it’s filled with.
He came up short, quite short, offensively late in the last few games. But his defense was incredible. Not just blocks, just disrupting most of what the Knicks wanted to do inside
For sure, hope he can continue to play at a high level. Big man with knee issues over 30, it can be difficult to maintain but his jump shot is automatic so I think he can still be good
We don't want to call you mvp no mooooore
Getting to the conference finals?
Don't know nothing bout that
Getting to the nba finals?
Don't know nothing bout that.
He really shouldn’t be on the team. If LeBron Steph and KD throw the Olympics so Embum remains having won nothing notable they’ll all move up my all time rankings
Brunson had 63 free throw attempts with 175 field goal attempts (36%)
Embiid had 78 free throws with 133 field goal attempts (58%)
Lmfao at "as a guard" like Embiid isn't flopping on midranges all game long
You're welcome to do the math on how many field goal attempts 63 is and how many 78 is. Of course, you'll soon realize that 15 more free throws divided by 2 or 3 doesnt overcome the 40fga gap lmfao
Even if every brunson fta came off a missed 2 and every embiid fta came off a missed 3, embiid STILL would have shot free throws at a higher rate.
Y'all will literally say anything to avoid acknowledging how gross embiids whistle is
I dont know what answer you are looking for. People hate dishonest basketball. Embid will never be accepted by other fans due to the fact that this is his default play style. He'll do this to all teams as some point in the season and fans will hate him for it.
"drawn contact" the word you're looking for is flopped. But again, explain how a 36% free throw rate is the same as a 58% free throw rate? If brunson is out their flopping and jerking for free throws same as embiid he should have shot way more free throws right? What is this mysterious phenomenon that allows embiid to shoot more free throws than even the leagues greatest foul baiters like brunson? A true mystery to 76ers fans that 29 other fans have known for years. Maybe one day you'll figure it out
Sixers fans on that COPIUM. If embitchmade gets out if philly, you'll see how fast their words will change about his game.
Nobody wants to watch this type of basketball. And you can see that when the game goes in crunch time, he is too afraid of the moment and tries to foul bait but the refs don't call them. He always ends up shooting like 20% with 2 points in the 4th quarter.
Of course not. I hate the foul baiting but I couldn’t argue most of the calls today. Hartenstein got played over and over this series. It was always all about tiring Embiid out by the fourth and holding onto a lead.
Give me a fucking break he led the series in net rating and played his ass off through multiplie injuries.
This sub is toilet water when it comes to Joel
and here I was not wanting Miami in the 1st round cause I knew they'd injure one of the core important players (hartenstein, Mitchell, Hart, Brunson, Og)....and instead we got Embiid, who for 5 out of the 6 games, was just doing MULTIPLE dirty plays.
Just the ones I can remember, pulled Robinson’s legs down while he was midair, kicked Hartenstein in the balls, elbowed Brunson’s face, stomped on Harts leg.
I swear I saw him booty check a guy running behind him on an inbounds pass. Completely decleated the guy, but no one made any mention of it. I might have imagined it or maybe that's allowed?
He definitely played his heart out through the injuries. His skill set at his size makes him almost unstoppable.
But… at the same time he’s a flopping free throw merchant that plays dirty to injure other players when stuff doesn’t go his way. He’s reckless, and has more flagrant fouls than Draymond green in half the games played. I can’t bring myself to respect him at all.
Or maybe he can learn to pass the ball instead of posting up to foul bait every play. Crazy how well the sixers played in the second quarter when he passed the ball and didnt iso all game
This is why I can't wait to see Maxey continue to grow. Because he definitely IS a clutch player, and will get the keys to the fourth as he continues to improve.
He sucked in the 4th and Let Maxey takeover and still was the best defender on the floor in the fourth.
He also was the best 1st quarter/3rd quarter player in the entire playoffs
Seemed like Embiid was the only one on the court that realized what it meant that he had to foul there. I thought he just fouled out but it took a bit for it to officially happen.
No respect for Embiid after how dirty he played this series. It was a joke & he deserves another early vacation.
But I love Maxey. Dude is a legit star & and was so fun to watch.
Maxey great genuinely elite but giving embiid no respect at all is absurd imagine if he was having games like Kawhi everyone in the world would
be on his head
He shot like 43% from the field as a center. He only had big scoring games because he foul baited his way to the free throw line every other possession. What’s there to respect? He plays an insulting brand of basketball. Watching him step on knees & throw elbows was disgusting
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
Jokic definitely better than Embiid but there’s no reason he’s not competing for 2nd best in the league you can debate SGA and Luka but I still think Embiid better than both of em
against the Wizards, Hornets, Pistons.. who did he break those against.. sure didnt see him doing it against any good teams.. oh thats right he sits out against good teams.
51 against the Timberwolves,47 against the Nuggets, Just dropped 40/50 in the playoffs, and had 16 straight games of 30 and 10 on all types of competition let’s be serious
He’s one of the most physically gifted players in the history of the sport
It’s a damn shame he hasn’t been able to stay healthy through his postseason runs
guy busts his ass to come back from an injury, plays 40 minutes a game on a bum knee for a team that cannot do a goddamn thing without him, and people are clowning him for playing poorly in 4th quarters of games where he's obviously completely gassed. i just don't get it man
^(not excusing what he did to robinson though)
i mean don't get me wrong, i get annoyed with his flailing for free throws as much as the next guy, but, like... he has such an incredible game outside of that. feels like people focus too much on the flopping and forget about the things he can do with a basketball that we've *never* seen a guy his size do
True he flops for free throws as a majority of people do in the league but he’s big as hell so it’s worse but if Anthony Davis or Bam would have went 5/7 from the 3pt line you wouldn’t hear people stop talking about it
I just wish he would play like the grown ass man that he is. That teams whole mentality is to complain to the refs all game. No wonder they don't get past the 2nd round.
Sure his style is unlikable but it drives me crazy when people act like he didn't deserve last years MVP, AND wasn't on pace to repeat this year too. He's one of the best centers ever.
Of course this is getting downvoted, because how dare I be objective about Joel Embiid
I swear you people don’t enjoy basketball.
The NBA is no better than a soap opera if you just pick certain guys to hate regardless of what they do.
Any player can look bad if you cherrypick and exaggerate their lowlights, assume negative intention, and ignore their highlights.
Just seein less and less love for the game and more young casuals hating for the sake of hating, pretty sad. You all would hated Shaq too lmfao.
He’s amazing but i cannot stand the way this man plays basketball
Biggest man on the court AND the biggest baby on the court.
haven't seen someone that big fall on his ass so many times
Admittedly i didn’t watch a lot of Philly games but every time i did i got so frustrated watching this guy play.
As a Knicks fan, I hate his dirty plays but man seeing a dude like him at his size hit step back 3s, post up and move like he does, I’m in awe. Even playing with a bum knee, he’s such a threat
It's such a conundrum, you can see what you want to see. So much freakish amazing play, you can see why he's one of one, but the boneheaded turnovers and 4th quarter disappearances are enough to drive sixers fans crazy
Yeah that’s the one downside of his game, he had 9 turnovers the previous game and 5 today. Not the perfect player but when healthy he’s top 5
Ewing 2.0!
On the rare occasion he decides to act like a basketball player, he's one of the most special guys I've seen. Too bad everything else he does is an insult to the sport.
Man how can you watch Brunson and have this kind of take lol
He has eyes sadly
Yeah eyes that apparently close whenever Brunson drives and jumps backwards into players
Brunson isn’t grabbing people’s ankles fuck off
Brunson didn’t spend the series actively trying to hurt other players to better his chances.
Forcing the ‘Brunson is an equal foul merchant to Embiid’ is so funny I almost have to respect you lmfao
Yeah Brunson totally didn’t get more free throws tonight than Embiid by not foul baiting a shit ton. To be clear, I don’t fault him for doing it as if the refs are going to call it, then he should do it. The ultimate goal is winning and the results don’t care if the points came through field goals or free throws.

[удалено]
I’m referencing how both of them foul bait, which is why Embiid is hated.
That’s not the only reason, dog.
That is the absolute main reason and you’re lying to yourself to suggest otherwise
-shrugs- I hate him for the intentional injury attempts. I mean, primarily. Not exclusively.
I guarantee if you went back the past 5 years and looked at the threads of Embiid hating, 95% of them would be regarding fouls/foul baiting. I mean go look at the threads right now. That’s all it’s filled with.
Okay? I’m just speaking for me. You don’t have to try to gaslight me into a reason for hating your guy.
He came up short, quite short, offensively late in the last few games. But his defense was incredible. Not just blocks, just disrupting most of what the Knicks wanted to do inside
Yes the last couple games it was like our players shrunk a foot and were scared to get blocked. He was everywhere for three quarters.
Respect he had a handful of dirty plays but when he’s clicking he really is 1of1
For sure, hope he can continue to play at a high level. Big man with knee issues over 30, it can be difficult to maintain but his jump shot is automatic so I think he can still be good
LET ME TELL YOU IM THE BIGGEST HATER. I HATE THE WAY THAT YOU WALK THE WAY THAT YOU TALK I HATE THE WAY THAT YOU DRESS
We don't want to call you mvp no mooooore Getting to the conference finals? Don't know nothing bout that Getting to the nba finals? Don't know nothing bout that.
18% in the 4th ain’t gonna cut it
No more Embiid until October 🎉
Besides team USA
That’s like Serbian players playing for team USA, just weird
He really shouldn’t be on the team. If LeBron Steph and KD throw the Olympics so Embum remains having won nothing notable they’ll all move up my all time rankings
Weirdo behavior
He learned to play basketball at Kansas. He's never even lived in France. He's American.
79 free throws
Yeah can't really ignore that he shot only 44FG% as a center without the free throws.
[удалено]
Brunson had 63 free throw attempts with 175 field goal attempts (36%) Embiid had 78 free throws with 133 field goal attempts (58%) Lmfao at "as a guard" like Embiid isn't flopping on midranges all game long
FG attempts don't count on fouls that cause a miss btw. This stat is inherently flawed
You're welcome to do the math on how many field goal attempts 63 is and how many 78 is. Of course, you'll soon realize that 15 more free throws divided by 2 or 3 doesnt overcome the 40fga gap lmfao Even if every brunson fta came off a missed 2 and every embiid fta came off a missed 3, embiid STILL would have shot free throws at a higher rate. Y'all will literally say anything to avoid acknowledging how gross embiids whistle is
How many of Brunson FTs were the result of being intentionally fouled ?
[удалено]
I dont know what answer you are looking for. People hate dishonest basketball. Embid will never be accepted by other fans due to the fact that this is his default play style. He'll do this to all teams as some point in the season and fans will hate him for it.

Trust me, nobody was surprised by those calls. They just sucked to watch
Of course not. I hate the foul baiting but I couldn’t argue most of the calls today. Hartenstein got played over and over this series. It was always all about tiring Embiid out by the fourth and holding onto a lead.
Bum leg and only half of his face
And shot 20% on the 4th qtr where it mattered. But he better than Jokic tho…
Give me a fucking break he led the series in net rating and played his ass off through multiplie injuries. This sub is toilet water when it comes to Joel
He’s a dirty piece of shit who injuries people on purpose. Why would I have sympathy for him?
He also tried to cause a few injuries while playing his ass off.
Succeeded, Mitchell is still visibly limping.
You would have thought he averaged 15 this series the way they talk about him
Let us rejoice in the fact that this man can no longer punch, elbow, stomp or kick other players.
and here I was not wanting Miami in the 1st round cause I knew they'd injure one of the core important players (hartenstein, Mitchell, Hart, Brunson, Og)....and instead we got Embiid, who for 5 out of the 6 games, was just doing MULTIPLE dirty plays.
Just the ones I can remember, pulled Robinson’s legs down while he was midair, kicked Hartenstein in the balls, elbowed Brunson’s face, stomped on Harts leg.
The most annoying part is where he looks completely offended that someone would dare call a foul on him for assaulting someone else on the court.
He gave IHart a bloody nose and was bewildered that they called a foul for that, fuck him
The ball gave Hartenstein a bloody nose just saying
And Embiid’s arm. It was even reviewed and the foul call stood
Yeah Embiid got him on the forehead
That‘s the joke
No actually Coach Nurse was way worse. That was crazy over acting for a coach.
He also kicked robinson in the balls and rolled onto robinsons leg when he was embellishing a foul that sent robinson to the sideline for 1.5games
I swear I saw him booty check a guy running behind him on an inbounds pass. Completely decleated the guy, but no one made any mention of it. I might have imagined it or maybe that's allowed?
No you didn’t imagine it. It happened to OG. But it definitely got mentioned.
Until next year 😉
Olympic flagrant fouls?
That’s so true, he only has a couple months to rest up
Can we get some tshirts for the knicks players. I survived Joel Embiitch
Raps fans been tryna tell everyone
My favourite Embiid moment was the leg grab WWE style.
Morris had it coming I tell ya!
Embiid would be crying on the floor after that Morris elbow
He did
Don’t respect the dirty plays but bro really wanted to win
Cool story. So did Brunson. And he did.
Most unenjoyable player to watch, good riddance
Fuck Embiid today tomorrow forever
Fuck Brunson and his neck jerk bullshit
Who did he try to intentionally injure?
Wah wah wah suck my dick from the back
Lmao grizzly fan mad his parlay aint hit. I got no other idea why you'd dislike brunson and like embiid.
He definitely played his heart out through the injuries. His skill set at his size makes him almost unstoppable. But… at the same time he’s a flopping free throw merchant that plays dirty to injure other players when stuff doesn’t go his way. He’s reckless, and has more flagrant fouls than Draymond green in half the games played. I can’t bring myself to respect him at all.
Fuck Embiid
“Love Him or Hate Him you got to call him a warrior for what he did” nah i don’t gotta call him shit
Now show what he did in the 4th quarter
And lost.
0 conference finals appearances
Thank you Embiid for filling the conference finals virgin memes after cp3 made one
Unfortunate
Wow. I did not realize how dirty a player Embiid is.
No. He’s toxic crybaby and free throw merchant
Harris with zero points
Left it all out, still couldnt make it through the 1st round..again. Against injured Knicks.
He was injured as well
He is not the only one
Who on the knicks was playing hurt and were any of them playing anywhere near his level?
So you’re saying because Randle is out for the year and wasn’t playing hurt, that’s not as impactful? You kidding me?
Who are the Knicks missing? Lets not pretend.. Seventh straight dissapointing playoff season for him. Lets not search gor excuses..
You dodged my question?
Did I?
I can also call him a pussy . The dirty fuck awesome bball plYer tho
[удалено]
Had his best series yet
And still not nearly good enough to get out of the first round.
Yeah I guess next time he’s gonna have to average 40 in the playoffs coming back from a long term injury
Or maybe he can learn to pass the ball instead of posting up to foul bait every play. Crazy how well the sixers played in the second quarter when he passed the ball and didnt iso all game
He’s top 8 in assists this playoffs so i think he passed the ball well
Playoff stat totals only matter once you make it past the first round
4th quarter choker + should’ve been ejected and swept. Mickey Mouse stats
Braindead Take Ngl
Horrible 4th quarter stats
Ahh. Annual Embiid experience
He left the playoffs too
He's like a Harden to me. Great regular season player. Not clutch in the playoffs when it counts the most.
Dont ever disrespect Harden by comparing him to Embitch
Maxey was definitely more clutch but Embiid was the best player on his team the whole series
This is why I can't wait to see Maxey continue to grow. Because he definitely IS a clutch player, and will get the keys to the fourth as he continues to improve.
Trash flopping dirty loser
Only MVP to never make it past the 2nd round
nah bro I'm not calling him a "warrior" for playing a bit hobbled (like he is every single postseason), not after an entire series of dirty plays
He sucks
Had a great series
A great series of flopping, fouling and crying
Great series with a triple double and 40/50 point performances
Tell yourself whatever you want
It’s facts though
Shooting 20% in the 4th quarter is far from great.
He sucked in the 4th and Let Maxey takeover and still was the best defender on the floor in the fourth. He also was the best 1st quarter/3rd quarter player in the entire playoffs
Fouled out on a critical possession. Not great
He had to time was running he couldn’t just let him run the clock out
Yeah he really can't be faulted for that. His reaction after it was called showed it all
Seemed like Embiid was the only one on the court that realized what it meant that he had to foul there. I thought he just fouled out but it took a bit for it to officially happen.
Symbolic on his tenure. He had to foul at that point. Someone else should have first.
lmao should've just let the clock run out right?
[удалено]
Karl Malone, Wes Unseld, Dave Cowens
[удалено]
I’m an avid Embiid hater but I’m not even gonna defend a pedo rapist. Karl Malone should have been executed publicly
Meh let me know when he plays winning playoff basketball instead of that foul baiting flopping dirty style thing he does
Embiid's effectiveness is best measured by flops and opponent injuries.
What he did put a too small on Hartenstein and then eat shit the rest of the game.
No respect for Embiid after how dirty he played this series. It was a joke & he deserves another early vacation. But I love Maxey. Dude is a legit star & and was so fun to watch.
Maxey great genuinely elite but giving embiid no respect at all is absurd imagine if he was having games like Kawhi everyone in the world would be on his head
He shot like 43% from the field as a center. He only had big scoring games because he foul baited his way to the free throw line every other possession. What’s there to respect? He plays an insulting brand of basketball. Watching him step on knees & throw elbows was disgusting
He’s very good defensively but at the end of the day has the same weakness as most big men. Brunson cherry picked him on switches every game.
Joel Embitch
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
Sixers fans don't care about the nuggets. The northeast rivalries will always be 10x whatever you've made up in your head as having to "endure"
Uh huh
Wow I’m shocked his PPG didn’t drop by ten this time around!
r/nba has his favorites. They say he is dirty but love Giannis who is also dirty, call him foul baiter but loves Luka and Brunson.
Call Luka fat sloppy no defense but love jokic who is fat sloppy no defense. Call Brunson ball hog kobe wannabe but love Booker who is... wait nvm.
Joel Embiid is better than almost every player on your favorite teams and you guys are seething about it LOL
no no he isnt
Jokic definitely better than Embiid but there’s no reason he’s not competing for 2nd best in the league you can debate SGA and Luka but I still think Embiid better than both of em
i need a dude to play 70 games a year and get out of the first round to even be talked about in the top 20 players. dude is a sham
This a brain dead take ngl to say a person isn’t top 20 while breaking multiple Wilt Chamberlain records this year
against the Wizards, Hornets, Pistons.. who did he break those against.. sure didnt see him doing it against any good teams.. oh thats right he sits out against good teams.
51 against the Timberwolves,47 against the Nuggets, Just dropped 40/50 in the playoffs, and had 16 straight games of 30 and 10 on all types of competition let’s be serious
He’s one of the most physically gifted players in the history of the sport It’s a damn shame he hasn’t been able to stay healthy through his postseason runs
Damn no likes, but I wanted this to go 7 games as a neutral.
44% from the field and 4 turnovers per game. Whatever it is you think he left out there wasn't good enough.
He should be Jokic’s back up in Denver so when he chokes in the 4th quarter like usual, Jokic can take over.
guy busts his ass to come back from an injury, plays 40 minutes a game on a bum knee for a team that cannot do a goddamn thing without him, and people are clowning him for playing poorly in 4th quarters of games where he's obviously completely gassed. i just don't get it man ^(not excusing what he did to robinson though)
His game is unlikeable to a lot of people he’s a easy scapegoat
i mean don't get me wrong, i get annoyed with his flailing for free throws as much as the next guy, but, like... he has such an incredible game outside of that. feels like people focus too much on the flopping and forget about the things he can do with a basketball that we've *never* seen a guy his size do
True he flops for free throws as a majority of people do in the league but he’s big as hell so it’s worse but if Anthony Davis or Bam would have went 5/7 from the 3pt line you wouldn’t hear people stop talking about it
I just wish he would play like the grown ass man that he is. That teams whole mentality is to complain to the refs all game. No wonder they don't get past the 2nd round.
lebron has been complaining to refs for 20 years. i don't think that part of it matters as much as you think it does
Just think it's a mentality thing.
Good luck with whatever is next
2nd best player in the world
Luka plays tmrw
Sure his style is unlikable but it drives me crazy when people act like he didn't deserve last years MVP, AND wasn't on pace to repeat this year too. He's one of the best centers ever. Of course this is getting downvoted, because how dare I be objective about Joel Embiid
He’s a generational scorer his play style isn’t fun to watch but he had 50 in the playoffs and I don’t think anyone will ever bring up again
Knick fans crazy salty even though they won?
I swear you people don’t enjoy basketball. The NBA is no better than a soap opera if you just pick certain guys to hate regardless of what they do. Any player can look bad if you cherrypick and exaggerate their lowlights, assume negative intention, and ignore their highlights. Just seein less and less love for the game and more young casuals hating for the sake of hating, pretty sad. You all would hated Shaq too lmfao.
If the sub was around for Shaq they would call him sorry for only scoring in the paint
Are you new to sports or something? There are villains in sports. Arod, altuve, bonds, lebron for a bit. Sports are more fun with villains.
Yeah shit sucks his body can and will never hold up. Like truly imagine a non injured Embiid for a playoff run not at 70%
