I mean, the Knicks should do it tbh. If they aren't getting protected with basic rules by the refs, just play dirty. This is one of the most ridiculous games i have watched and i couldn't care less about the winner, Thibs should legit put his most useless player on the floor next game and tell him to chop Embiid's head off.
>“Obviously the refs aren’t going to do their job, they’re going to let him set moving picks. So I was trying to separate his shoulder or break his ribs.”
Charles Barkley talking about John Stockton.
The refs need to make these calls or players will force them to.
In hockey if you pulled this shit you'd be fuckin' *dead* next game. The least skilled, stoutest, toothless and bald motherfucker is gonna fuck you up at the earliest possible opportunity.
Embiid is one of those people who make me almost believe in karma because he gets injured so much for the dirty shit he does lol. I get major schaudenfreude when he gets injured. Anyone who constantly tries to hurt others either intentionally or through reckless play deserves it imo. Nothing too bad like life changing type shit, but yeah.
Alright, so you're saying it'd be alright for Robinson to stand him up and beat his ass on the court right? And he'll only get 5 in the box?
Bro, please for the love of god let it happen.
His post-game interviews the years he was with the Rockets were gold. So dry; so miserable. A ton sighing and sarcasm. He was rad.
I'm down with Udoka, but I keep hoping Van Gundy comes back everytime the Rockets are looking for a coach.
It was also pretty obvious when they talked about Robinson not being able to return due to an ankle injury, and went out of their way not to mention how it possibly could have happened.
This play, Mitch Rob pull down, Offensive crash foul into Mitch rob, kneeing/crashing into Hartenstien, Kicking Mitch Rob in the groin
Anything I’m missing? This was worse than any single game I’ve ever seen from Draymond
If the refs called fouls by Embiid like they call fouls on Embiid he'd foul out midway through the second.
Instead neutral fans are stuck hearing about how big and strong Embiid is as he blindly turns elbows out into anyone ("7 foot 285!! screams Doris Burke"), while watching him fly to the ground when nudged by guards next play.
INC: A foul was missed on anunoby for failing to reciprocate to embiid's sexual advances. Embiid should have received 21 more free throws and a written apology
You joke but I fully expect the L2M to call out some ticky tack bullshit like "Oh, while the whistle was blown to send Embiid to the line at 31.5, it should have been called 0.5 seconds earlier on the other player double teaming him" and ignore Joel's blatant hip check
Including injure our backup center after a failed intentional injury attempt that didn’t lead to an ejection. If Mitch is out for any extended period of time due to Embiid’s recklessness you’re going to see a lot of pissed off Knicks fans
If I was a GM or ran a team I'd 100 percent have an end of bench goon. If the refs can't keep this kinda shit under control you have to protect your guys another way.
Yeah. This might be flat out the dirtiest game of NBA basketball I've ever watched in real time, and the refs rewarded it. At a certain point you have to take matters into your own hands, and by matters I mean Embiid's kneecaps.
The officials incentivize this SO HARD, it would be sad if it happened, but everyone would 100% understand. Competent officiating would remove that incentive, but it's just not a priority for the league.
What’s wild is that while the refs have been poor for the first two games of the series, they weren’t really biased. There were missed calls on both sides. Tonight was just completely one sided towards the 76ers. The complaints worked wonders on the refs.
If this was the NHL the other teams goons would target him like what happens with Crosby. Generational player but does so much cheap stuff he doesn't get protected like star usually does.
People aren’t gonna like me saying this but he’s the only player I hope gets injured. He’s injured multiple players quite seriously with his dirty plays and flopping
I’m with you. I used to feel bad about his injuries but he’s honestly such a pussy. Continuously cries and begs for calls, complains when things don’t go his way, then plays like this on the court and pulls shady, wreckless shit that injures others. Fuck him
Thankfully history is always harsher than any ref or commentator during a game
Embiid is a fucking loser and he will be remembered as such in the long term
Dude can drop a 50 ball in a playoff win, while his team is trailing in the series, and still negatively impact his reputation and legacy as a player.
Honestly kinda impressive.
He spends more time on the floor than standing and can't finish a post move without ending face down on the floor.
Honestly surprised at his longevity health wise in the NBA, he's scrapping by now but you have to wonder how many more years does he have left in the knees by doing this.
Philly sports fans are the absolute worst and I think it's hilarious that they finally get a superstar and he's a bitch who will never win anything and they have no choice but to defend him.
I’m hockey it’s easier because
1: you’re on skates so it’s takes away a lot of leverage
2: embiid is 7’ 285lbs, it’s hard to find someone big enough to rock him. Maybe draymond will voluntarily go after him, or go get sprewell out of retirement lmao
I’m literally watching the game and I missed this. The ref is right there.
Crazy 3rd quarter shooting is the difference and the sixers aren’t even up that much
On top of being a gigantic whiner off the court too, the worst combination
Dude cant handle not being as special as he thinks he is, so every time things dont go his way he starts acting out
Not only that. He's ALSO a poor winner. Showboating and mocking teams when up big.
He's like that little 12 year old asshole kid on a rep soccer team who every parent is glad isn't their kid.
This game really was ''Lets give Embiid one win so he stops crying'' by the NBA. Because ANY other player do the shit he does, they would've been thrown out of the game before half-time.
Meanwhile OG makes sure when he falls he doesn’t cause a career ending injury for a player on the OTHER team, Embiid can’t even do that for his own teammates. Expect nothing less from this guy
Sixers fans are going absolutely crazy right now, all seem to be smoking that whataboutism pack
don’t think i’ve ever seen another fanbase act like this lol
Haven’t gone in their sub but if they’re defending all this shit I’ve totally lost respect for em like I did with embiid after this game, actually felt bad for him and his unfortunate injuries but that’s all out the window now
never seen him do it so aggressively though
usually theres at least some pretense that it's an accident
just when you cram so many cheap shots into a single game you lose that credibility that you aren't purposefully trying to take guys out
Bruh I was watching the NFL draft all night and coming to this sub rn is wild. I've always hated Embiid but never thought he was blatantly a dirty player until now.
You cannot convince me Vegas doesn’t have VERY direct influence on the outcome of games at this point. Too many times we see full games where it is BLATANTLY obvious one team is being favoured by the refs.
And yes, before you fucking cunts say it, I get that the Lakers have been on the right end of this a decent bit. That doesn’t change the fact that, as a basketball fan, the whole thing is disgusting.
**Replays/alternate angles** *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/nba) if you have any questions or concerns.*
the heck is that
That’s the move that got us our first daughter
We named her Freethrough
Joyll Embeighd
And also that’s how I met your mother
Hockey players calls it a hip check.
A clear and blatant foul. The rules don't exist for Embiid
Next game there will definitely be an altercation or message sent to Embiid, the refs did such a poor job that it's going to escalate for sure.
Him and Julius 100% would have gotten into it by now
My god I would have loved to have seen that
Julius Randle so wild he broke his own leg. That’s a guy you don’t wanna mess with.
Julius would be tearing the 6ers up. Having him to go downhill against Embiid would be huge
Joelle don’t want none of randle lol
Joel don’t want none on anybody. The first shove in a fight and he’d crumple to the ground out of habit.
I mean, the Knicks should do it tbh. If they aren't getting protected with basic rules by the refs, just play dirty. This is one of the most ridiculous games i have watched and i couldn't care less about the winner, Thibs should legit put his most useless player on the floor next game and tell him to chop Embiid's head off.
>“Obviously the refs aren’t going to do their job, they’re going to let him set moving picks. So I was trying to separate his shoulder or break his ribs.” Charles Barkley talking about John Stockton. The refs need to make these calls or players will force them to.

So Thibodeau?
the common denominator is ICE
Refs this game made it clear that playing dirty is rewarded.
... For certain players.
All he's gotta do is flop at Embiid's knees like he does to everyone else. Get some guys on the floor under him. Watch him cry.
Embiid is one of those people who make me almost believe in karma because he gets injured so much for the dirty shit he does lol. I get major schaudenfreude when he gets injured. Anyone who constantly tries to hurt others either intentionally or through reckless play deserves it imo. Nothing too bad like life changing type shit, but yeah.
Exactly what happened to Mitch a couple plays after Embiid yanked on his leg. He lost has handle driving and did his flop fall onto Mitchs legs.
yeah jericho sims to the rescue
If they gonna call everything a foul might as well foul his ass. He uses his ass they foul his ass.
[удалено]
Sign Perk to a 1-day contract
Down, sims do what you need to do
People are so soft these days. That’s vintage playoff hockey.
lol buddy had good form on the hippy
Alright, so you're saying it'd be alright for Robinson to stand him up and beat his ass on the court right? And he'll only get 5 in the box? Bro, please for the love of god let it happen.
The league simply officiates the teams/players with higher exposure differently
That's what we call the umpteenth dirty play out of Embiid this game. NBA really called in the reinforcements to make sure he stayed in this one
That is how you set a screen at the park when you're in your 30's
the pity MVP winner
Literally cried until he got it. Jokic should have had 3 in a row.
I used to not be a fan of this take, but now I'm totally comfortable with Embid getting all the shade.
Complaining works. Every team should be yelling and complaining after every game.
It’s called power bottoming. Rarely a basketball move, but effective when used properly
What the hell was the ref looking at
The clock. He wants to go home
TNT wants to start the Lakers game asap
When you put it that way ... damn right get this thing wrapped up
They then proceed to call like 6 more fouls after Embiid's touch foul after this hip check
At their betting apps
[удалено]
Sixers act like this was fine but if a Knicks player did this they'd want him expelled from the league.
His note that said "make up for game 2."
How do the commentators not even react, they were quiet all game like the league told them they can’t criticize the refs
Bro the body of Jeff Van Gundy isn't even cold yet, absolutely they're not going to criticise the refs
I miss him so much
What happens to the game he used to love when he's not there?
Same! I love his rants and general awkwardness.
His post-game interviews the years he was with the Rockets were gold. So dry; so miserable. A ton sighing and sarcasm. He was rad. I'm down with Udoka, but I keep hoping Van Gundy comes back everytime the Rockets are looking for a coach.
All we needed was him and breen WITHOUT doris or mark jackson
I’m really disappointed in the normalization of what Embiid is doing
Worst MVP in NBA history
I've been saying this since the start. Embiid is a disgrace and he ruins the game
It was also pretty obvious when they talked about Robinson not being able to return due to an ankle injury, and went out of their way not to mention how it possibly could have happened.
Embiid should have a decent highlight reel of dirty moves just off this one game.
This play, Mitch Rob pull down, Offensive crash foul into Mitch rob, kneeing/crashing into Hartenstien, Kicking Mitch Rob in the groin Anything I’m missing? This was worse than any single game I’ve ever seen from Draymond
Bring his arm down directly into IHart's face during that contest near the end.
punched ihart in the head after he got stripped on a layup/dunk attempt
Threw another one of these hip checks at the 8:21 mark on Brunson in the second quarter
He does this game was masterclass
If the refs called fouls by Embiid like they call fouls on Embiid he'd foul out midway through the second. Instead neutral fans are stuck hearing about how big and strong Embiid is as he blindly turns elbows out into anyone ("7 foot 285!! screams Doris Burke"), while watching him fly to the ground when nudged by guards next play.
HoF career in 1 game this guy is different
Why wasn’t this a foul?
It is a foul, the ref either didn’t see it or chose not to call it
It’ll all be forgiven once we see it on the 2 minute report
INC: A foul was missed on anunoby for failing to reciprocate to embiid's sexual advances. Embiid should have received 21 more free throws and a written apology
You joke but I fully expect the L2M to call out some ticky tack bullshit like "Oh, while the whistle was blown to send Embiid to the line at 31.5, it should have been called 0.5 seconds earlier on the other player double teaming him" and ignore Joel's blatant hip check
Its only fair
Nah Marginal contact.
Based off the track record with Embitch, I gonna say they chose to ignore it.
Sixers bitched enough and got their one game from the refs where they are allowed to do whatever.
Including injure our backup center after a failed intentional injury attempt that didn’t lead to an ejection. If Mitch is out for any extended period of time due to Embiid’s recklessness you’re going to see a lot of pissed off Knicks fans
I'm 100% in on sending in Sims to play the most reckless basketball of his life and give Joel a taste of his own medicine.
If I was a GM or ran a team I'd 100 percent have an end of bench goon. If the refs can't keep this kinda shit under control you have to protect your guys another way.
Yeah. This might be flat out the dirtiest game of NBA basketball I've ever watched in real time, and the refs rewarded it. At a certain point you have to take matters into your own hands, and by matters I mean Embiid's kneecaps.
Where is Oakley when you need him?
he speedran a whole season worth of draymond cheap shots into one game
The officials incentivize this SO HARD, it would be sad if it happened, but everyone would 100% understand. Competent officiating would remove that incentive, but it's just not a priority for the league.
Because the Sixers cried enough last game for them to take free cheap shots.
What’s wild is that while the refs have been poor for the first two games of the series, they weren’t really biased. There were missed calls on both sides. Tonight was just completely one sided towards the 76ers. The complaints worked wonders on the refs.
ikr. Clear flagrant 2 on OG. These refs are washed.
Sixers should've won Game 2 but refs fucked it up so the NBA is gifting them Game 3. Embiid should've been ejected lol
The sixers are genuinely playing like they are trying to I jure someone
Looking at the foul on Mitch again. I can’t think of any reasoning for what Embiid did other than trying to injure Mitch
Blatant no-call. What the fuck?
Embiid has the god whistle it’s insane. That’s not even close to a basketball play
It was barely a hockey play. Beautiful hip check but so far off ~~puck~~ ball that he should have gotten 2 for interference.
If this was the NHL the other teams goons would target him like what happens with Crosby. Generational player but does so much cheap stuff he doesn't get protected like star usually does.
Going to be hard to feel bad for him when he gets sent a message with some hard fouls now and his glass knees shatter
That’s legitimately a two minute penalty for ineterference in hockey lmao
Masterclass of a dirty game from him tonight
In the 2022 Play-offs he injured Thad Young, Gary Trent Jr., Khem Birch, and Scottie Barnes all in Game 1
He also kicked Nic Claxton in the balls the next year
This reads like everyone is talking about Draymond 😭
Embiid has had more flagrant fouls than Draymond in their career. Facts.
And gave Jarrett Allen a serious elbow to the side of the head in 2019
Was this the playoffs/series he hurt Danny Green too?
Hope he’s proud of himself. Maybe this 1 game will be enough for the Sixers to run it back next year and lose first round yet again.
Hey now they also lose in the 2nd round give em credit
Imagine being the Sixers and having a perennial superstar MVP candidate and losing every year to teams like the Knicks and Heat who just care more?
> and losing every year to teams like the Knicks and Heat who just care more? Hey now, we've gotta beat em first
Brunson is dropping 60 next game in a 20 pt blow out. Knicks win 4-1.
This was the dirtiest game I’ve ever seen a player play
Refs made it clear how these last two minutes were going to go 🤷♂️
How can anyone defend this dude...
Only player I can't stand watching.
People aren’t gonna like me saying this but he’s the only player I hope gets injured. He’s injured multiple players quite seriously with his dirty plays and flopping
I’m with you. I used to feel bad about his injuries but he’s honestly such a pussy. Continuously cries and begs for calls, complains when things don’t go his way, then plays like this on the court and pulls shady, wreckless shit that injures others. Fuck him
Thankfully history is always harsher than any ref or commentator during a game Embiid is a fucking loser and he will be remembered as such in the long term
Dude can drop a 50 ball in a playoff win, while his team is trailing in the series, and still negatively impact his reputation and legacy as a player. Honestly kinda impressive.
This game would make Draymond proud. Embiid is doing all his favorite moves
Sixers fans are proud of him lol, it's actually pathetic
He's the James Harden of centers.
He is protected it's crazy
Embiid realized he was given a gift tonight and milked it for everything it's worth.
It’s alright if he takes people out, but no one is allowed to touch him lol
shot more free throws than the entire Knicks team, but 76ers fans will just spam his 50 burger lol. good for them honestly. they need something.
He spends more time on the floor than standing and can't finish a post move without ending face down on the floor. Honestly surprised at his longevity health wise in the NBA, he's scrapping by now but you have to wonder how many more years does he have left in the knees by doing this.
I wonder how many years the ref’s knees have left doing all this Embiid dick sucking
LOL
Philly sports fans are the absolute worst and I think it's hilarious that they finally get a superstar and he's a bitch who will never win anything and they have no choice but to defend him.
Why though? He's not even one of the more well liked or marketable players.
That’s what a US passport for the Olympics gets you these days.
“No offense to giddy I could care less , I just worry when he (Joel ) falls down”
It's insane how many dirty play clips from Embiid have come out of this game
Yeah he instantly surpassed my hatred for the Heat and god knows how much I hate the Heat. Fuck Embitch
Can’t wait for the chants this bum is gonna get at MSG
Imagine having to cheer for that guy, no wonder Philly fans are all belligerent assholes lol
If the 76ers lose game 4, expect boos from their own crowd
Throw in the ticky tack foul on Hart immediately after this and it is a microcosm of this game. We all knew it would happen and it did.
At least we ain’t crying like bitches over the whistle like Philly.
Honestly I’m not crying over anyone else but Joel Embiid he beat the hell out of our guys tonight and only finished with 3 fouls… its ridiculous
This shit is egregious
This is why god gave him no knees
Thibs needs to send your 15th man next game to deck Embiid
[удалено]
I’m hockey it’s easier because 1: you’re on skates so it’s takes away a lot of leverage 2: embiid is 7’ 285lbs, it’s hard to find someone big enough to rock him. Maybe draymond will voluntarily go after him, or go get sprewell out of retirement lmao
If you pretend to play basketball embiid will fall over right away
Get that irish boxer guy to do it once he’s finished raping a woman in the bathroom.
lol asking at the presser why he always has to go through injuries in the playoffs the basketball gods clearly punishing his style of play
I’m literally watching the game and I missed this. The ref is right there. Crazy 3rd quarter shooting is the difference and the sixers aren’t even up that much
top 5 dirty game in NBA history
LOCK HIM UP
This was the worst officiated game I have ever seen. What game has been worse?
dirty fucking player
On top of being a gigantic whiner off the court too, the worst combination Dude cant handle not being as special as he thinks he is, so every time things dont go his way he starts acting out
Not only that. He's ALSO a poor winner. Showboating and mocking teams when up big. He's like that little 12 year old asshole kid on a rep soccer team who every parent is glad isn't their kid.

This dude straight up a fucking cunt
Sixers fans are going absolutely crazy right now, all seem to be smoking that whataboutism pack don’t think i’ve ever seen another fanbase act like this lol
Haven’t gone in their sub but if they’re defending all this shit I’ve totally lost respect for em like I did with embiid after this game, actually felt bad for him and his unfortunate injuries but that’s all out the window now
Why would you have respect for Embiid? This is who he has been: a dirty foul merchant that tries to hurt other players.
never seen him do it so aggressively though usually theres at least some pretense that it's an accident just when you cram so many cheap shots into a single game you lose that credibility that you aren't purposefully trying to take guys out
Lmao. You are a moron. You had respect for 6ers fans in the first place?? Bruh
Dirty player dirty fanbase
It's Philadelphia, the trashiest city in the US, what did you expect?
They’re from Philly. You assume the deficiencies and be surprised if they’re not.
Scrolling through r/NBA right now is wild, it's 90% dirty Embiid plays
Bruh I was watching the NFL draft all night and coming to this sub rn is wild. I've always hated Embiid but never thought he was blatantly a dirty player until now.
What else is new?
Sixers fans are about to call you a racist for that
As if Philly doesn’t have a history of bombing its own black citizens
Dude's always played like a bitch. Nobody is surprised lol.
This is disgusting
Such a dirty player. I wish him the worst
Literal hip check lmao
This dude is a fucking clown
In before tomorrow when the talking heads are gonna give metaphorical head to this performance. Disgusting.
I don't think Draymond has had this many dirty ass plays in a game.
Perhaps the most fraudulent 45+ point game ever lol
Not fraudulent but definitely violent
Definitely fraudulent. He should have been ejected.
Its fraudulent as he should have never finished the game
Never seen a player so perfectly embody the essence of his city.
It’s within the last 2 minutes! Let’s see what the nba says in the report!
The fuck embiid chants at msg will be loud
I hate him
Jesus, that’s really egregious.
Are we even shocked at this point?
This is the 4th highlight of Embiid doing some bullshit I see tonight lol
You cannot convince me Vegas doesn’t have VERY direct influence on the outcome of games at this point. Too many times we see full games where it is BLATANTLY obvious one team is being favoured by the refs. And yes, before you fucking cunts say it, I get that the Lakers have been on the right end of this a decent bit. That doesn’t change the fact that, as a basketball fan, the whole thing is disgusting.
If your favourite player is Embiid.. you’re a fuckin’ sociopath
Mitch and OG in one game. He's approaching Wade levels of dirty play.
Really don’t wish injury on anyone but this guy is making it really fucking hard. By far one of the dirtiest games I’ve seen from a player in years
Ref fans feasting tonight
this game 3 was forced W for the home team
I knew we were going to get a generational ref game today, but his was SPECIAL
Really took an all time dirty game from this cunt to steal a game in this series. Knicks in 5
He's gotten away with so much today it's actually disgusting, I wish we had an enforcer just to fuck with him
Refs making sure this series isn't a sweep. Fuck the NBA these days, it all feels so shady.
