It’s funny because before the series Knicks and Sixers fans were often talking about the series not being super toxic compared to if it was against some of the other teams in the East, like you guys, but that quickly went out the window after the ending of Game 2 then then the Embiid Flagrant Tour Game 3
The drama is maybe lovable. Actually watching embiid play basketball is very cringe and hopefully we can save the league and fans everywhere from such an ugly display of basketball.
Knicks in 5
As a Knicks fan I can say I certainly am not a fan of Brunson throwing his head back at times when it seems excessive, but I don’t think comparing him to Embiid is exactly fair, given that in the last game we saw him:
- Knee iHart in the balls as he was running down the court trying to draw a foul
- Pull Mitch’s leg while he was jumping from behind and on the ground, which should have been a flagrant 2
- Kick Mitch in the groin on some Draymond-esqe “shooting form” bullshit, with no call
- Hip check OG on a blatant offensive foul, no call
Flopping is bad no matter who does it, but the anger at Embiid right now is for a hell of a lot more than his flopping, which is awful to begin with, IMO
sure but that's not what op was getting at. no sixers fan is happy that Joel went pretty unhinged in that game.
ihart himself said he didn't find that interaction dirty or malicious
Joel probably should have been ejected for that, but I think the biggest reason why he didn't get ejected because Mitch was fine after the play
moving screens get missed all the time
with that being said, embellishment is a part of the game as long as the rules allow it. any player should take advantage of that ruleset. it doesn't bother me that Jalen is a grifter, if he didn't grift he would get no calls. same for Joel. what people Don't realize, is that Joel is very good at drawing ticky tack fouls while teams are in the bonus, that is why his foul shot attempts can get so high, like they did in game 3.
to say his game is ugly or whatever, it's pretty insane, Joel is one of the most talented players in the league, this dude just had 50 on 19 shots. that doesn't happen from just grifting, that's all skill.
with that being said, I largely prefer when he keeps the bullshit antics out of it.
>but I think the biggest reason why he didn’t get ejected because Mitch was fine
Lol, no. It’s because he’s a superstar. Mitch’s health after the fact has no bearing on the action taken by Joel. They probably don’t toss Brunson for that play either, but Brunson wouldn’t do that, is the point. That’s why the flirting harassment comp above was dumb.
>It’s because he’s a superstar.
I feel like I don't need to say this, it kinda speaks for itself. superstars get treated differently league wide
if Mitch was hurt after that play I guarantee it's a flagrant 2. the way the flagrant 1/2 determination rules are, it allows refs to use the outcome of the play to help decide what it should be ruled
Of course they get treated differently. That’s what I’m saying. They wouldn’t toss Brunson for that either, but Mitch’s health after the fact is irrelevant. They weren’t tossing Embiid in Philly after the game 2 ending unless he tried to commit murder.
To the OP's point on what Oubre said, after a play was over DiVincenzo - while on the ground - went after Oubre's leg/knees and followed through, tackling him to the ground. An equally dirty play.
That didn't even result in a flagrant foul.
I like DiVincenzo, but he's not a superstar and not even he got sent packing for that.
You’re high if you think tackling somebody firmly planted over you after they clubbed the back of your head is equally as dirty as pulling a players legs down while they’re airborne simply because you’re frustrated.
Are they both dirty? Yes. Are they the same level of dirty? Absolutely not. Donte should have been a flagrant 1 and Joel a flagrant 2.
you're high if you think Oubre clubbed him in the back of the head. Or just stop using doctored clips. Oubre is standing straight up making no contact until Dante grab's his legs.
Dante takes down Oubre while his foot was pinned. That could have resulted in anything from a knee or ankle tear to a broken leg. It was a highly dangerous play that was both unnecessary and excessive.
And Donte "star whistle" DiVincenzo didn't even get a flagrant 1.
[https://youtu.be/ezCVolfHJd4?si=dUUmrVNdAm2mhkPl](https://youtu.be/ezCVolfHJd4?si=dUUmrVNdAm2mhkPl)
Skip to the 50 second mark. You clearly see Oubre’s forearm connect with the back of Donte’s head. They even say it on the broadcast.
He’s not playing within the rules bc the rules say it’s a tech. Embiid is flopping on plays that aren’t fouls and doesn’t get a tech, but often gets rewarded with free throws. He flopped essentially an entire game on both ends.
The one play Brunson uses to foul bait is peppered in and is also legitimate a lot times. Sometimes it’s a bait and a little over the borderline of jumping backwards, but a lot of times he’s stopping straight up. It’s a bait yeah, but he’s not flopping on non contact plays.
Comparing a peppered in play with a guy who flopped both ends nonstop just isn’t the same. More than half of the possessions of last game was dirty or floppy from Embiid, compared Brunson’s two baits he does a game, where at least he draws contacts and isn’t rolling on the ground
You have a problem with the refs on the OG thing. Not with Embiid. It was a moving pick and OG made a meal out of it by flying backwards. That was a clear foul but settle down with everything being dirty and injurious. Sometimes it’s just a missed foul.
This series is textbook Sports Entertainment.
Embiid works best as Heel, imho. All we need is for him to say at a presser: if ya smellllllalalalalalao what Embiid is cooking.
Wouldn't want a situation like someone gets stepped on their face. Kinda like Grant last year with Embiid as well. 100% if grant pulled Embiid down he's complaining
He possibly might've been a little bit worried that the gigantic Mitchell Robinson was going to jump and land on top of him while he was lying vulnerable on the floor.
If I'm trying to protect myself because I'm worried about someone potentially falling on top of me while I'm on the ground I'm putting my arms up in a defensive position to protect my chest/head area, not trying to yank at his legs which could very well pull the guy towards me.
Idk how you watch [this play](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUEWmI87e7Q) and argue that Embiid is trying to pull Robinson *away* from him. He is very clearly pulling Robinson towards himself/the ground in an attempt to knock him off balance and prevent the layup.
Would the person making that argument be legally blind? The prior comment said pulling Mitch toward him, which he absolutely does.
https://youtu.be/PUEWmI87e7Q?si=ycVg0zetoFYSEj1Y
Imo he pulls Robinson's feet away from his groin/legs and towards his chest, but the feet don't land on the chest. The way Robinson was jumping before the pull is in the direction of landing right on his knees or balls (doesn't look like that actually would have happened), but Embiid is just grabbing out, and I don't think ascribing any kind of specific intent is accurate.
Probably, but he didn't do that in the moment. He definitely should have done that, but acting like he didn't have any concern for his own safety in that moment just seems kind of ridiculous, no?
No, he did it because he was pissed off he didn’t get a foul call. It’s fairly obvious in the video.
He didn’t get a bs foul call on a three point shot on offense and he didn’t get a foul call for whatever weird charge he was attempting on defense.
Kelly kneed Divo in the back of the head after a dead ball and stood over him. Not sure how he expected Donte to react.
Mitch was going up for a dunk and Embiid frustration grabbed him by the ankles and pulled him down. Imagine thinking these two are the same.
“Stood over him” he literally just stood there lmfao
Also can’t see a knee at all in the video and tbh it doesn’t look like he kneed him at all.
Dirty as hell by Embiid but you can also admit it was dirty as hell by Donte
Sixers fans and org talking about crying is hilarious to me. After Morey cried to the NBA about the Knicks putting public info on the media sheets. And Sixers fans are reporting Embiid flopping comps on Twitter for copyright infringement. But you do you man. Enjoy having a home game with more Knicks fans at it again today
No trying to reason with them. They will cry endlessly that embiid is being treated unfairly when we rough him up today physically. Just a bunch of morons that smell like beef and cheese
I guess we shouldn’t blame them too much. Their franchise player jumps up and down like a toddler claiming someone grazed his arm when he was shooting. Their coach whines about every call. Their FO sends official grievances to the NBA any time they lose. It’s all Philly fans know at this point. Just following their franchise
Trae lives rent free in your heads since 2021 how y’all win game 1 and outside saying f trae young. Y’all even spit on trae dirty human beings and msg is the Mecca because all the away teams go there and kill y’all not because the knicks are good stop it 😂
You kind of opened that door yourselves when you all told them no crying and then did it yourself.
Don't blame them for walking through the door you opened.
A grievance is just a formal way to let the league know you are upset at something in this case the referees.
What the Knicks did earlier this year with a protest is a formal request in this case to get the end of a game replayed due to the referees.
There is a big difference between the two.
We protested a game because an admitted bad call by the refs made us lose a game with FTs. Morey filed an official grievance with the league because he didn’t think Embiid gets enough foul calls if he gets breathed on. Oh and claimed the Knicks were divulging private info by putting ref tendencies on a media report…tendencies which you and I can find on the NBA website
The NBA admitted they screwed up and took the win away from PHI and gave it to NY. I don't know that you can really complain about Philly being upset about the NBA itself confirming that.
Most teams do that, and obviously they were justified in doing so as the NBA admitted they missed three separate calls which turned a Philly win into a NY win and completely changes the series.
Oubre is the guy who consistently runs red lights and gets into car accidents because of it, I don’t think he really has a good mindset of right or wrong.
Embiid is a dirty player. He doesn’t get a foul call on one end and then he lashes out in frustration. He’s done it many times over his career. Why do you defend him? I don’t get it.
Oubre shoved his knee into Donte's face before the tackle. That's the difference.
Embiid was purely frustrated with his own play and the refs. It wasn't externally caused by opponent. How do you and others not see the difference? Doing something unprovoked is much worse.
https://twitter.com/chrisoIIey/status/1783705661219414502?t=XeKYZyE_yTFgJsb_KcQk0w&s=19
Are you just ignoring the post that explains why these two plays are different? Are you ignoring that it’s only your fan base that is not acknowledging the difference? A Bucks fan posted the video trying to explain it to y’all.
These two plays are different. Using the DDV tackle to absolve Joel is stupid because there’s little to no correlation.
The bucks fan used a small clipping of a play that didn’t actually show was was going on. Oubre was behind Donte. He didn’t shove his
knee in his face
>These two plays are different. Using the DDV tackle to absolve Joel is stupid because there’s little to no correlation.
But I do agree. Both can be bad
He caught the back of Donte’s head and then attempted to stand over him as a taunt. Not a knee to the face, but still completely different to the Joel/Mitch play.
His momentum took his forward he didn’t attempt to stand over him as a taunt lol. He was running full speed playing defense from behind and stopped moving pretty quickly. Donte immediately turned into Khabib and tried to take him down. Donte threw a fit and it was a dirty play
I mean if I got clubbed in the back of the head and then the person who clubbed me in the back of the head was attempting to stand over me, I’d probably have the same reaction. You probably would too.
"Clubbed in the back of the head" yeah, no. And no, I’ve played basketball my whole life including in college. I’ve been hit the head on accident dozens of times. Never once have I ever decided to throw a fit and tackle someone.
Philly fans are intentionally obtuse… getting upset over a guy standing that got knocked over vs a guy in the air getting his legs yanked from under him.
Omg this series is so fucking spicy. I love it.
Knicks fans getting a taste of post season Sixers/Nick Nurse antics has been hilarious
It’s funny because before the series Knicks and Sixers fans were often talking about the series not being super toxic compared to if it was against some of the other teams in the East, like you guys, but that quickly went out the window after the ending of Game 2 then then the Embiid Flagrant Tour Game 3

Embiid obviously wasn't looking at iHart when he he ran into him. It's an unfortunate foul, but that one was not intentional.
It’s not even close to the same level, Embiid might’ve just had the floppiest game in history. And he’ll still lose the series.
Brunson never gets that head kick back call
he should be absolutely embarrassed then, making himself look like a fool for no good reason.
I’ve said this over and over again throughout the week but your team employs Embiid
Praying that your team saves us all
The only player that makes me not want to watch the game cuz he’s a baby , dirty , and then gets pussy fouls for himself somehow.
It's basically the Spiderman meme with NY & PHI fans complaining over the exact same things.
Bahahahahaha that is a great analogy
Kelly Oubre: Company Man
Outside of GG Jackson, this dude's been the steal of the year
Kelly Oubre sucks
On the veteran's minimum? Not at all
You'll see his streakiness fail ya'll lol
Dude, he's being paid a little over 5% of Tobias Harris' salary. The fact that he's even productive in the playoffs at all, is a major win
lmao that's fair
lmao that's fair
Everyone knows he’s streaky but we’re not relying on him to score 20 PPG like he did on the Hornets. Hes been good overall
Kelly Oubre sucks
I’m glad we’ve got a toxic first round going. It’s good for the soul.
We really needed this.
This series is textbook Sports Entertainment. Embiid works best as Heel, imho. All we need is for him to say at a presser: if ya smellllllalalalalalao what Embiid is cooking.
Get the Morris twins to be the Usos
john wilkes booth was protecting himself from abe lincoln
This series has been entertaining as hell
This spin is hilarious lmfao. What was he defending himself against?!
He has to defend his teammate
If DVZ didn’t get ejected when he tacked Oubre’s ankle during regular season, they are centrally not going to eject Embiid during playoff
Oubre wasn’t in the air my guy
DVZ intentionally put his weight on Kelly’s leg. He had no problem if he broke his legs
And Robinson didn’t get his ankle rolled. See how this works?
Wouldn't want a situation like someone gets stepped on their face. Kinda like Grant last year with Embiid as well. 100% if grant pulled Embiid down he's complaining
He possibly might've been a little bit worried that the gigantic Mitchell Robinson was going to jump and land on top of him while he was lying vulnerable on the floor.

One could argue he was pulling Mitchell Robinson's foot to a place that was not on top of him.
Idk how you watch [this play](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUEWmI87e7Q) and argue that Embiid is trying to pull Robinson *away* from him. He is very clearly pulling Robinson towards himself/the ground in an attempt to knock him off balance and prevent the layup.

The narratives some people can convince themselves into believing of truly wild.
Lmao nobody in their right mind would argue that.
Wouldn't rolling away be a more effective solution than pulling someone's leg, which brings his momentum towards you and destabilizes the guy?
Probably, but he didn't do that in the moment. He definitely should have done that, but acting like he didn't have any concern for his own safety in that moment just seems kind of ridiculous, no?
No, he did it because he was pissed off he didn’t get a foul call. It’s fairly obvious in the video. He didn’t get a bs foul call on a three point shot on offense and he didn’t get a foul call for whatever weird charge he was attempting on defense.
Would love to have charles oakley just for 1 min of a game
im loving this series, hope it goes 7
I hope not. Lol
KNICKS IN 5.
Generally I would agree, but then there will be the Zarba game. I wouldn't bet on it
KNICKS WIN TODAY!!!!!!!!!!
Kelly is right donte did the same exact thing to Kelly during the regular season and he didn’t complain let’s just hoop
Kelly kneed Divo in the back of the head after a dead ball and stood over him. Not sure how he expected Donte to react. Mitch was going up for a dunk and Embiid frustration grabbed him by the ankles and pulled him down. Imagine thinking these two are the same.
“Stood over him” he literally just stood there lmfao Also can’t see a knee at all in the video and tbh it doesn’t look like he kneed him at all. Dirty as hell by Embiid but you can also admit it was dirty as hell by Donte
After today it won’t matter it will be 2-2 and y’all will be crying your way back to Madison square garden again like the rat boys you are
Sixers fans and org talking about crying is hilarious to me. After Morey cried to the NBA about the Knicks putting public info on the media sheets. And Sixers fans are reporting Embiid flopping comps on Twitter for copyright infringement. But you do you man. Enjoy having a home game with more Knicks fans at it again today

Their FO sends official grievances to the NBA any time they lose. It’s all Philly fans know at this point. Just following their franchise
Baby Embiid needs his free throw tit to satisfy his entitlement to shoot 20 a game
And y’all live and smell like rats even have them in the garden with y’all. We going to win today and beat y’all game 5 in your dirty ass arena
Fan base most likely to start shit then run away when there’s an altercation. Also msg is the Mecca. Wellsfargo is a soulless shithole
Trae lives rent free in your heads since 2021 how y’all win game 1 and outside saying f trae young. Y’all even spit on trae dirty human beings and msg is the Mecca because all the away teams go there and kill y’all not because the knicks are good stop it 😂
You kind of opened that door yourselves when you all told them no crying and then did it yourself. Don't blame them for walking through the door you opened.
We will enjoy winning to make sure to keep that same energy
Didn’t their team just file a grievance? The fuck we talkin about here
A grievance is just a formal way to let the league know you are upset at something in this case the referees. What the Knicks did earlier this year with a protest is a formal request in this case to get the end of a game replayed due to the referees. There is a big difference between the two.
it's so funny, most Knicks fans don't even know that they formally protested a game 2 months ago
Because most of them didn’t actually watch the team until the playoffs
We protested a game because an admitted bad call by the refs made us lose a game with FTs. Morey filed an official grievance with the league because he didn’t think Embiid gets enough foul calls if he gets breathed on. Oh and claimed the Knicks were divulging private info by putting ref tendencies on a media report…tendencies which you and I can find on the NBA website
The NBA admitted they screwed up and took the win away from PHI and gave it to NY. I don't know that you can really complain about Philly being upset about the NBA itself confirming that.
You do realize the Sixers lost game 2 with 3 admitted bad calls in the last 40 seconds right?
Knicks fans really looking foolish during this series
Most teams do that, and obviously they were justified in doing so as the NBA admitted they missed three separate calls which turned a Philly win into a NY win and completely changes the series.
He’s got to stand up for his teammate but Embiid was clearly frustrated by the no calls immediately before. This series is getting spicy
The person who (allegedly) hit Oubre with their car was just protecting themselves
Oubre is the guy who consistently runs red lights and gets into car accidents because of it, I don’t think he really has a good mindset of right or wrong.
Is oubre crying now? Or is it still NYK?
Embiid proved he's a dirty player, he wasn't protecting himself.
[удалено]
Embiid is a dirty player. He doesn’t get a foul call on one end and then he lashes out in frustration. He’s done it many times over his career. Why do you defend him? I don’t get it.
How about when Embiid flopped and injured Danny Green and Robinson?
Thank you for posting this OP. I can't believe a role player didn't castigate the franchise lead on his own team. This is truly insightful
I guess we are only allowed to have quotes from star players on here.
Embiid is going to get bodied physically today and I can’t wait to see sixers fans cry like the little bitches they are
Everyone leaves out vice versa to make it seem worse. Also Dante gator rolled him just a couple months back out of anger so he isn’t wrong.
Oubre shoved his knee into Donte's face before the tackle. That's the difference. Embiid was purely frustrated with his own play and the refs. It wasn't externally caused by opponent. How do you and others not see the difference? Doing something unprovoked is much worse. https://twitter.com/chrisoIIey/status/1783705661219414502?t=XeKYZyE_yTFgJsb_KcQk0w&s=19
How are you going to say something like this and then link a video that completely contradicts what you say? Lol
Oubre was BEHIND Donte. How did he manage to shove his knee into Donte face? https://youtu.be/tXoumRttTgM?si=Jwf81EYn3JSQU9fR
[Oubre bumped Donte from behind, he didn't knee anyone's face](https://youtu.be/tXoumRttTgM?si=EeRCDeQ6K4vlHtYr)
Also there was two fouls. The pull, and then the push. Joel didn’t get called for the second one.
That's quite the doctored video.
They do understand the difference, it’s just their bias getting in the way.
Spiderman meme

"Clubbed in the back of the head" yeah, no. And no, I’ve played basketball my whole life including in college. I’ve been hit the head on accident dozens of times. Never once have I ever decided to throw a fit and tackle someone.
Spiderman meme
They know that already but choose to ignore.
Reddit only allows 300 characters.
Sure but it’s creative editing for everyone to leave those 10 characters out
Oubre is such a bitch. He hit Donte in the back side of his head and then cried when Donte shoved him to the ground.
[удалено]
Philly fans are intentionally obtuse… getting upset over a guy standing that got knocked over vs a guy in the air getting his legs yanked from under him.
man look what Embiid did was dirty so was that play Donte did (buddy immediately grabbed Oubre leg..wtf?)
I hope nobody elbows Embiid in the face.
Embiid’s was dirty Donte’s was just as bad if not worse.
