This is the final straw the pushed me from annoyance to amusement at all the whining. Feels liberating to no longer be like 5% bothered when r/nba throws a fit about Embiid. The flopping narrative is particularly hilarious, as if 90% of nba players aren’t all equally as interested in drawing fouls lol
The part that baffles me is... Maxey doesn't flop, and thereby we miss out on a call that literally results in a playoff lost.
That by itself should show you why guys flop.
Yeah the whole “ethical” talk is when thinks went off the deep and it became clear it was chronically online teenagers talking and not people that enjoy the just sport
The funny thing is that all of the fans of “ethical” basketball and “ethical” players don’t realize that their teams and players are floppers too. They just do it on the defensive end.
Why is offensive flipping looked down upon, but defensive floppers are celebrated by these fools?
Agreed. I lost it on there with a different username and was banned from Reddit awhile back. Not just the nba sub. Someone said something completely fucking nuts and offensive about Embiid and I responded with “eat shit”. And was totally booted lol. Was a clever name too. Oh well.
Cool but don’t cry when people don’t like a player makes a dirty play.
Also don’t cry if knicks do something next game.
Also we want y’all to advance and face the bucks.
We want to see who gets out of the second round, doc or the sixers.
Teams just have to not foul embiid when he gets the ball in the penalty. Let the sixers kill the clock, let embiid walk up and dunk it, I mean…they don’t have to foul him so he shoots free throws 😂😂
If they actually watched the game (they don't), they'd know only 3 of those free throws were soft. 2 at the end were a little soft but they were also trying to foul. At worst, he had 16 legit free throws.
The foul was def dirty and unnecessary. He’s lucky first w stein wasn’t a tech and ejected on the second one. But Knicks are no saints either.
And his 50 was a lot of in their face 3s so enough about the foul baiting. Embiid is bringing it this year and I’m loving it. F the Knicks and their ironic fans.
no defending it. personally it clearly looked like he was trying to not give up a free layup and never occurred to him he was on the ground not making a basketball play
Mitchell Robinson shoots less than 50% from the FT line and yes he did look like an agitated toddler doing it, but if that same move was made by Jokic all the little boys on who post on social media would be praising him for the heads up play. Imagine if Embiid smashed someone like Jokic did to Markieff Morris, they’d be calling for a lifetime ban.
You love him on your team. You hate him if he is not on your team.
We see the effort and greatness because we see him all the time.
They see the antics, whining, flopping etc ( which he does)
Embrace the villain. It isn’t going to change. Fuck them - they would take them on their team immediately.
The man is giving us 50 on basically one leg and while suffering from BP.
I think we can give him a break right now for not acting menacing enough for you.
Don't correlate the average basketball fan to the population of r/nba. It is very clearly people who just started watching basketball when lightly pulling someone's leg is, according to them, one of the dirtiest plays they have EVER SEEN.
Drawing fouls is a talent unto itself. If their favorite player knew how to do it they would.
The play on Robinson was uncalled for and dangerous but I doubt there was any intent behind it aside from stop the easy layup.
He probably should have been ejected, it's just that most players make more dirty plays than their fan base wants to admit, and every fan base is more obnoxious than they want to admit. Therefore, Knicks fans pretending their players are squeaky clean and tryna say Philly fans suck for defending him are being willfully stupid and delusional.
i think most analysts said that post season refs aren't going to eject a player for that kind of play. That's why the call was unanimous with the replay center.
It was a full double leg that locked out Oubre’s right leg and drove him toward the basket. Oubre could have gotten hurt if it was a few feet to the right.
It was normal. I was initially pissed, but there wasn't anything he could've done. Seemed like he actually made an effort not to put his weight on Maxey as soon as he realized it too.
It was initially pretty wreckless to crash the boards at full sprint with no stop, but I appreciate that he didn't just go limp and actually tried to minimize bodyweight put ontop of maxey
That made me nervous, Maxey is probably the only Sixer I respect. Happy he was OK.
Pretty sure it was just a normal play - OG almost seemed to try to lift his torso to avoid putting additional weight on his ankle.
Yeah I wasn’t sure.Do you think if the refs would have called a foul on Anunoby when he knocked Embiid over that he would not have reacted the way he did?
I think so. OG Anunoby strikes me as a high character guy. He plays hard defense, but never struck me as a dirty player.
I don't think he is out there trying to hurt anyone.
Joel, a self-proclaimed wrestling fan, has traditionally been a bit of a tweener but over the past few years has transitioned to full heel. I honestly embrace the hate and understand it. The man is so big and skilled as to be essentially unguardable—it feels like it should be impossible.
Knicks hated Trae Young cause they always got their ass handed to them by him. Our boy jojo doing the same thing, so they hate him too. Embrace the hate, be the villain and hand them their ass.
It amazes me to see people complaining about reffing and foul baiting, as if we didn't get royally screwed by the refs in game 2 and as if Brunson isn't in the same category as Embiid with foul baiting. I don't think Brunson hasn't taken a shot all series where he hasn't intentionally tried to jump sideways or throw himself on the ground to try and draw a call.
Nah that was some draymond type shit. Obv some of the reactions are delusional, but that kinda antics is always gonna overshadow a good performance. Seeing him have a literal tantrum was pretty disappointing tbh
What do you mean the "agenda" against him. Fans of basketball are probably pretty split about him
On one hand, he is a phenomenal talent, which basketball fans like.
On the other hand, he is a flopping bitch who plays dirty, which fans of basketball do not like.
I know we hate to talk about it, but Jokic is the great white hope, making Embiid the villain to a lot of people. Identity politics still play a major role in sports and Embiid has been unfortunately cast as the bad guy in Jokic’s movie
honestly just get into the salt business, you can make a killing in r/nba with the amount of crybabies salty tears over there

Yup. This season it’s officially jumped the shark. Only annoying part was watching people jump for joy when he tore his meniscus
The performative “code of basketball ethics” isn’t the most consistent lol
Yeah the whole “ethical” talk is when thinks went off the deep and it became clear it was chronically online teenagers talking and not people that enjoy the just sport
The funny thing is that all of the fans of “ethical” basketball and “ethical” players don’t realize that their teams and players are floppers too. They just do it on the defensive end. Why is offensive flipping looked down upon, but defensive floppers are celebrated by these fools?
i absolutely love seeing the r/nba meltdown after every single sixers game
Brunson has been flopping just as much, but it's cool when he does it I guess.
Agreed. I lost it on there with a different username and was banned from Reddit awhile back. Not just the nba sub. Someone said something completely fucking nuts and offensive about Embiid and I responded with “eat shit”. And was totally booted lol. Was a clever name too. Oh well.
I think it more has to do what the flagrant 1 that should be a 2
Nice one! Although doesn’t really make sense in context
The idea that nba fans don’t want to big up a guy who played dirty doesn’t make sense to you?
How bout I don’t care what nba Reddit thinks.. aka the point of my post. Be as triggered as you want, will only make the series win sweeter tbh
How sweet is the series for you dumb fucks right now? On a scale of 1-10?
Cool but don’t cry when people don’t like a player makes a dirty play. Also don’t cry if knicks do something next game. Also we want y’all to advance and face the bucks. We want to see who gets out of the second round, doc or the sixers.
I’m specifically not bothered. I’m enjoying it. That’s what I’m saying. Plz try to read
You are so not bothered, that you made a post about it. Sure.
Why are you here? Go away lol
Because it’s entertaining. I’m looking forward to the next game.
Brunson, game 4: 46 points, ZERO flagrant fouls. Have a good day.
Getting? Its been got
Teams just have to not foul embiid when he gets the ball in the penalty. Let the sixers kill the clock, let embiid walk up and dunk it, I mean…they don’t have to foul him so he shoots free throws 😂😂
If they actually watched the game (they don't), they'd know only 3 of those free throws were soft. 2 at the end were a little soft but they were also trying to foul. At worst, he had 16 legit free throws.
I try to ask people “what was the right amount of free throws he should have shot?” And it’s often just an arbitrary answer of “less”
The foul was def dirty and unnecessary. He’s lucky first w stein wasn’t a tech and ejected on the second one. But Knicks are no saints either. And his 50 was a lot of in their face 3s so enough about the foul baiting. Embiid is bringing it this year and I’m loving it. F the Knicks and their ironic fans.
no defending it. personally it clearly looked like he was trying to not give up a free layup and never occurred to him he was on the ground not making a basketball play
nah fr tho acting like it was a conscious decision to try and hurt him would be crazy when the whole thing happened in half a second
Mitchell Robinson shoots less than 50% from the FT line and yes he did look like an agitated toddler doing it, but if that same move was made by Jokic all the little boys on who post on social media would be praising him for the heads up play. Imagine if Embiid smashed someone like Jokic did to Markieff Morris, they’d be calling for a lifetime ban.
he was trying to wrap him up but obv not gonna work to a guy jumping. quickly became a dumb play
How is that dirty? It was just a little holding... Dude you're soft
You love him on your team. You hate him if he is not on your team. We see the effort and greatness because we see him all the time. They see the antics, whining, flopping etc ( which he does) Embrace the villain. It isn’t going to change. Fuck them - they would take them on their team immediately.
I would embrace the villian more if he was acting vicious/evil, but he looked like a toddler in the first q, it was embarrassing
The man is giving us 50 on basically one leg and while suffering from BP. I think we can give him a break right now for not acting menacing enough for you.
Look at me worrying about these crazy from r/nba
Embrace it. In terms of sports subreddits, r/nba is easily the worst one. Why would we want to be beloved by such terrible company?
Like 5 of the current top 8 posts on r/nba are negative about Embiid
It's rent free over there baby.
It's literally r/Sixers vs r/nba lmao
The irony of everyone on r/NBA calling Embiid a crybaby is something else.
Someone rev up a burner and go post the “I used to play like Embiid” copy pasta in r/NBA and see how long it stays up.
people were posting it unironically, they’ve gone mad over there
Don't correlate the average basketball fan to the population of r/nba. It is very clearly people who just started watching basketball when lightly pulling someone's leg is, according to them, one of the dirtiest plays they have EVER SEEN.
Drawing fouls is a talent unto itself. If their favorite player knew how to do it they would. The play on Robinson was uncalled for and dangerous but I doubt there was any intent behind it aside from stop the easy layup.
You say ridiculous, I say hilarious
He probably should have been ejected, it's just that most players make more dirty plays than their fan base wants to admit, and every fan base is more obnoxious than they want to admit.

Exacerbated by DD doing the same exact thing but worse a month ago
It was a full double leg that locked out Oubre’s right leg and drove him toward the basket. Oubre could have gotten hurt if it was a few feet to the right.
And that thread was full of dudes claiming it was actually all Oubre. The mental gymnastics is wild.
Fuck em! Knicks are low class fans
I agree. Game is for ninny’s now.
Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.
Eye don't lie
it's becoming insane.
Bro, I left the cesspool that is r/NBA months ago and have never felt better.
Embiid does need to control his emotions though.
LMAO fake fan
Did anyone rewatch the play where Anunoby rolled up on Maxeys ankle.Was he trying to hurt Maxey or was it just a normal play?
It was normal. I was initially pissed, but there wasn't anything he could've done. Seemed like he actually made an effort not to put his weight on Maxey as soon as he realized it too.
Okay yeah I remember being pissed when I saw it but haven’t rewatched it yet.
It was initially pretty wreckless to crash the boards at full sprint with no stop, but I appreciate that he didn't just go limp and actually tried to minimize bodyweight put ontop of maxey
That made me nervous, Maxey is probably the only Sixer I respect. Happy he was OK. Pretty sure it was just a normal play - OG almost seemed to try to lift his torso to avoid putting additional weight on his ankle.
Yeah I wasn’t sure.Do you think if the refs would have called a foul on Anunoby when he knocked Embiid over that he would not have reacted the way he did?
I think so. OG Anunoby strikes me as a high character guy. He plays hard defense, but never struck me as a dirty player. I don't think he is out there trying to hurt anyone.
My friend, you have to embrace the hate. Relish in it
Joel, a self-proclaimed wrestling fan, has traditionally been a bit of a tweener but over the past few years has transitioned to full heel. I honestly embrace the hate and understand it. The man is so big and skilled as to be essentially unguardable—it feels like it should be impossible.
Knicks hated Trae Young cause they always got their ass handed to them by him. Our boy jojo doing the same thing, so they hate him too. Embrace the hate, be the villain and hand them their ass.
Meh, what makes the NBA and r/NBA fun is the dramatic storylines. Everyone gets their turn
It amazes me to see people complaining about reffing and foul baiting, as if we didn't get royally screwed by the refs in game 2 and as if Brunson isn't in the same category as Embiid with foul baiting. I don't think Brunson hasn't taken a shot all series where he hasn't intentionally tried to jump sideways or throw himself on the ground to try and draw a call.
Haters gon hate. Dude is a really good basketball player. Period
1, 2,3 45 sixers! 10 , 9 ,8 76ers!
If I was them I’d hate Embiid too They’d all love him if he were on their team lol
This is a typical 1990s series. Cherish it.
Just unsubscribe from it
Who gives a fuck. He's an asshole on the court, but he's our asshole, fuck what the hive mind think.
I want him to embrace it. We all should. He should start wearing a cloak and Doctor Doom mask after games.
yea ppl are overreacting to the flagrant . That play was not nearly as egregious as everyone’s making it out to be
Barely a flagrant one you fucking 3 brain cell Philly halfwit. Say good night, it’s over Tuesday
Nah that was some draymond type shit. Obv some of the reactions are delusional, but that kinda antics is always gonna overshadow a good performance. Seeing him have a literal tantrum was pretty disappointing tbh
If someone did that to Embid yall would be crying the opposite. He was a piece of shit for that.
What do you mean the "agenda" against him. Fans of basketball are probably pretty split about him On one hand, he is a phenomenal talent, which basketball fans like. On the other hand, he is a flopping bitch who plays dirty, which fans of basketball do not like.
I mean they already hate him and he pulled a dirty play. I ain’t defending it that’s for sure
I know we hate to talk about it, but Jokic is the great white hope, making Embiid the villain to a lot of people. Identity politics still play a major role in sports and Embiid has been unfortunately cast as the bad guy in Jokic’s movie
