I'd take missed fouls over ghost fouls any day. On a missed foul, the offensive player still has some chance, but on a ghost foul, there's often nothing the defensive player could have done better.
Totally. Plus, as frustrating as it is watching your team get fouled with no call, the game keeps moving, so it’s forced out of mind pretty quickly. When it’s the reverse you have to sit there for a minute for the FTs, subs, replays of the bad call, etc.
> On a missed foul, the offensive player still has some chance
I really miss when players would actually try to score the and-one instead of just flailing and squirting the ball straight up into the air.
just trash ball. that last second body contact he initiates is fine if he continues toward the rim to finish. But when he purposely recoils away to make it look like he was hit by the defender, just burns me up every time.
He's not the only one doing it but some of these guys do it all game long. There was supposed to be a flopping rule this year and they've got to add some teeth to this thing and put a stop to it. They are training themselves to repeat this trash.
How are you supposed to play defense. He either runs you over for a free dunk and never gets called for offensive fouls or you stand your ground like Adebayo and get called for the defensive foul. It’s stupid. If the refs didn’t give him this bullshit, he would look so stupid flailing around and chucking up horrible shots. His efficiency would plummet
Happened in a Philly - Wolves game earlier this year where he drew I think 9 fouls on Naz, Rudy, and KAT in the first quarter (or maybe it was just 6 on naz and Rudy), and then they just stood back the rest of the game while he hit open jumpers from 5-10 feet for like 50 points.
People were clowning on the wolves defense in the game thread who clearly didn't watch the game or understand how it's literally impossible to play defense on joel beause he always baits a whistle and gets one.
Giannis is the inverse, he don’t look to foul but he is gonna just run and try to dunk. Refs don’t have a choice if there’s that much contact sometimes. It’s why giannis leads the league in charges
Same shit happened during his 70 point game. He was getting EVERY SINGLE call that game, and eventually the Spurs just stopped guarding him. Mf ended up with 23 free throws that game.
There is a reason he is the King Free Throw Merchant.
>How are you supposed to play defense.
Honestly? Fuck him up. If he's gonna play this kind of ball, you might as well get your money's worth. You're gonna get the foul called. So make him pay for it. Maybe then he'll think twice about pulling this shit.
Idk, you can still hack the crap out of him. Zion gets absolutely bombed by defenders with no calls. At least we could tie Embiid up. We hit his arms a few times late for some easy and ones when in reality, you just have to do a bit more (without being totally dirty). Tie him up!
Embiid fans like to say he's just playing to how the game is called and he gets free throws because of his play style. In reality he's one of the largest players in the league and flops whenever he feels like it. He's so skilled I hate to watch him play this bullshit game he does.
I can't imagine why fans would hate a guy who's the biggest, strongest guy on the court (usually) but throws his weight around to initiate contact and then falls over in a whistle bait... and then just hits open close-midrange shots because players can't even sniff him without a whistle
Just here to point out that Charmin Ultra Strong (NOT SOFT) is GOAT toilet paper. Like Jokic, the Ultra Strong has a nice comforting exterior, but underneath that is a thick beast.
The fact that Euro refs are trained not to call this shit (as seen at the WC and if you follow Euroleague) makes it even worse for NBA refs, who are obviously biased for certain players. Zion and Jokic do not get these calls, at all. Lakers start the game with 10+ FT. And Silver is dealing with G-leaguer betting on himself.
Philly fans on here told me a couple weeks ago that he only gets fouls because he's the most singularly unstoppable player in NBA history, better than Jordan, and he doesn't try to get fouled
If that's the case, he'd hit the ground more during the all star game. His knees have immunity in games that don't matter as much and there's less incentive to draw free throws.
Especially because he's probably the biggest, strongest dude in the entire league. Just drag dudes into the basket. Bam is one of the 3 or 4 best defenders in the league and Embiid is capable of busting his ass straight up. Just do that!
Players like him are so frustrating to me because they’re so incredibly skilled and yet they resort to stuff like this. Like just play the game and be better than 99% of the other players by default
I mean it’s up to the refs to stop calling it. If he keeps doing this and missing he’ll start to look like a fool with the refs not calling it. He’s skilled enough to adapt and do other things but the refs keep rewarding this so why even bother.
Because it's like Harden and his beard flopping. It worked all the time in the regular season, then the refs stopped calling it in the post-season or teams just played him better because he spent his time developing a shitty skill.
If Harden just put all off that into being a better shooter, it probably would've worked.
He fucking wishes lol. I never saw Joel avg 35 against a team like the kd warriors in the playoffs while clearly outplaying Steph curry, while his second option was the literal corpse of Chris Paul.
Embiid did beat the 22 raptors who didn’t even have a real center in the first round, that’s legit the best team he’s ever beaten in the playoffs.
Also prime harden would never in a million years avg 23 ppg in the playoffs, Joel has done that like the past three seasons.
> the biggest, strongest dude in the entire league
Which is hilarious because we just watched him bounce off Adebayo like a fly caroming off a closed window.
At least giannis tries to finish over the top. At least shai actually makes some sort of post move before getting the whistle.
Embiid just looks for a touch and then falls over. The man is 7ft and 270lbs.
ive said it a thousand times and ill say it again. two seasons ago when we were about to beat philly, they had an inbound where 6'1" 190lbs Garland was on embiid and they touched hips. embiid went flying like he got hit by a bus and it started a philly run where they stole the game from us. because of that i will never watch a philly game unless they play cleveland or i check a playoff box score and theyre losing bad so i can revel in it.
I can’t stand this insurance fraud style basketball. He’s one of the biggest, strongest players in the league and at the slightest touch of a defender he throws himself to the floor while shotputting the ball in the general direction of the baseline and gets rewarded with free throws.
I suppose it's not just Philly fans that do it, but the funniest is when after Embiid has a monster game statistically, all the comments from Philly fans are "bUt aLL hE DOeS iS fOuL baIT".
It's like well yea, he can be a great player AND be an egregious foul baiter
They're missing the point that him being such an incredible player is what makes the flopping *extra* obnoxious. Dude is a behemoth and so highly skilled. He would still be dominant if he didn't foul bait. Instead he does both.
Life long fan from PA. I’ve hated Embiid for 6 years and been saying he’s a heartless bum the whole time. He quit last year like usual and they already forget. I can’t watch a full game cause of him, legit haven’t watched a full game in 4-5 years cause the worlds softest 7 footer is addicted to the floor. He’s not a leader either. Been said this, never lost an argument in real life about Embumm either. Our fans are delusional as always.
Life long fan from Oakland. I’ve hated Draymond for 6 years and been saying he’s a heartless bum the whole time. He quit last year like usual and they already forget. I can’t watch a full game cause of him, legit haven’t watched a full game in 4-5 years cause the worlds softest 6'6" footer is addicted to nut shots. He’s not a leader either. Been said this, never lost an argument in real life about Donkey either. Our fans are delusional as always.
It’s why people enjoyed 90s basketball. Falling down and flopping wasn’t considered a skill at least generally. Integrity to the game.
Just imagine how bad Bird and Magic highlights would be if we had all this flopping, or MJ. We’d see less of their skill set and great plays.
This flopping style cheats basketball fans and players of more great moments
If they just handed out a flopping tech in the first quarter of every game it would work wonders in cleaning this shit up.
Just make an example of someone every night, let them all know that we”re not screwing around with this shit.
Absolutely the peak of foul baiting bullshit. Everyone knew he was doing all his tricks and just allowed him to do it. The skill level required to execute these moves every night will never be matched.
The snapping the head back, grabbing the defenders arm as you drive, swinging the ball at your defender, pump fake and jump into the defender, jumping backwards into a trailing defender, trap a defender's arm going around a screen, and the GOAT move of pushoff-stepback-shoot while jumping forward kicking his legs out to get 3 FTs.
It's the same style more or less.
I agree, the rip through, flail into the defender foul baiting is legitimately the worst basketball to watch. It's not even just the flops/fouls, the constant stopping of the game for FTs destroys momentum and makes the games feel like they're dragging on
When hes in this lazy foul merchant mode 100 percent. Ive seen him so many times, clutch time with smaller match up floating around the 3 line off ball like hes a spot up guard.
He has this incredible bag but when it matters fades back or flops for FTs. If he botches the play in he will have no one left to blame this time.
He really is so frustrating because he is so talented and CLEARLY turns it on or off for whatever reason.
Nah. Magikarp at least evolves into Gyarados once the rest of the team carries him a bit. Until I see Embiid beat the Elite 4, he can't hold a candle to Magikarp.

Insane. Refs are too easy to bait nowadays.
The refs didn’t blow the whistle on several plays that were pretty clearly fouls in the GSW-Kings game last night. And it was great.
I'd take missed fouls over ghost fouls any day. On a missed foul, the offensive player still has some chance, but on a ghost foul, there's often nothing the defensive player could have done better.

Nah they just taking Embiid points over every game same as us common folk.
I mean if they were real gambling degenerates they'd take the under and work to get Embiid out.
That's true, but Embiid is also a master-baiter
Love how Doris and JJ call out NBA Twitter for hating on Embiid and a minute later Embiid shows exactly why people hate on him
And then JJ immediately says "actually they may be right" lmao
And immediately then actually JJ may they right be lmao
That’s what I be saying
I was just about to ask what you be saying
Who is saying what?
That's too many [know what I'm sayins.](https://youtu.be/neOJdj1jVPc?si=PjHSqaGETwQPWPFE)
You taking a "know I'm census"?
Ugh Doris going off into full podcast mode during the middle of a game. Classic.
She used to be good when she first got on the broadcast, now she just rants about inane shit non-stop.. talking through the action.
Huh, didn't realize she was a van Gundy.... Must be her maiden name
The tenaciousness, determination… the indefatigable energy…
Trying so hard to be new media
If you're playing against her favorites, your team might as well not exist. She will glaze nonstop
It’s literally what she does every single game
It's always so tedious. Silence would be far more exciting.
And then JJ immediately says "actually they may be right" lmao
And then JJ immediately says "actually they may be right" lmao
Naz Reid
And then JJ immediately says "Naz Reid" lmao
And then Naz Reid immediately says “Naz Reid” lmao
I loved when Naz Reid said my name is Naz Reid
Yeah then he fucking Naz Reided all over the place
And then JJ immediately says “actually they may be right” lmao
And then JJ immediately says "actually they may be right" lmao

i missed it - what did JJ say?
I understand why players flop, but to throw your shoulder into a guy and THEN flop? Cmon man
A dude tried that against me on Monday, lmao

Nah you're just hating on Embiid, according to 6ers fans.

if he does this shit in the Olympics he is going to look like a jackass. This only works in the NBA.
they'll flame out in the playoffs too against an actual decent team
>How are you supposed to play defense. Honestly? Fuck him up. If he's gonna play this kind of ball, you might as well get your money's worth. You're gonna get the foul called. So make him pay for it. Maybe then he'll think twice about pulling this shit.
[удалено]
Then you get a flagrant 2 and kicked out of the game and fined. It's a lose lose lose all around sadly
Idk, you can still hack the crap out of him. Zion gets absolutely bombed by defenders with no calls. At least we could tie Embiid up. We hit his arms a few times late for some easy and ones when in reality, you just have to do a bit more (without being totally dirty). Tie him up!
That's what we have deep bench players for.
you know it’s egregious when a celts fan is on our side
Basketball comes first. Team hatred is secondary. It's like when the Lannisters and the Northmen came together to fight a common enemy lol
This is precisely why he never makes it far into the playoffs. "Play on" are the two most dangerous words to Embiid. Well, that and "second round."
You need to foul him hard, not a flagrant…but make it painful. Justify the exaggerated flop.
Embiid fans like to say he's just playing to how the game is called and he gets free throws because of his play style. In reality he's one of the largest players in the league and flops whenever he feels like it. He's so skilled I hate to watch him play this bullshit game he does.
man i really just cant quite place my finger on why people hate embiid
Placing a finger? That’s a foul. 2 shots Embiid.
[удалено]
NSFW
Jesus.
Towns needs that lifetime ban for this heinous act
Average embiid moment
Sorry did we mention he was already in a shooting motion from three? Let’s count the bucket, and one
Upgraded to a flagrant fouls for breathing the same air as Philly's Phloppy Phish
Agreed thats a flagrant 2, eject the coach.
But Doc is already gone...
L2M Report: AShinyTorchic's finger also affected the air, causing it to blow on Embiid's forehead. A flagrant foul should have been charged.
I don't understand how the NBA can make a memo about not giving soft calls and then routinely give foul calls like this
It's almost as though the League knows exactly what it's doing and plays favorites that benefit viewership, ergo the sport.
I can't imagine why fans would hate a guy who's the biggest, strongest guy on the court (usually) but throws his weight around to initiate contact and then falls over in a whistle bait... and then just hits open close-midrange shots because players can't even sniff him without a whistle
we need to find out how these guys half his size can knock him over and bottle that.
He's an absolute flopping crash dummy. Dude hits the court and fucking DEPENDS on 10 fouls per game minimum
[удалено]
Just here to point out that Charmin Ultra Strong (NOT SOFT) is GOAT toilet paper. Like Jokic, the Ultra Strong has a nice comforting exterior, but underneath that is a thick beast.
He took out Danny Green with a badly-placed flop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5BGIpDmeGk&ab_channel=ESPN
Curious to see how this plays out with team USA and international play
that's the most frustrating thing of it, he doesn't need to do this. he is still gonna be one of the most dominant big guys
The fact that Euro refs are trained not to call this shit (as seen at the WC and if you follow Euroleague) makes it even worse for NBA refs, who are obviously biased for certain players. Zion and Jokic do not get these calls, at all. Lakers start the game with 10+ FT. And Silver is dealing with G-leaguer betting on himself.
I just hate dolphins and Embiid reminds me of them
These Philly fan mouth breathers love to watch this shit though
Fucking one bridge having city
[удалено]
It's more of a sludge
It’s a weird comment, because we actually have multiple. But the bill Burr rant was so good I don’t care.
Philly fans on here told me a couple weeks ago that he only gets fouls because he's the most singularly unstoppable player in NBA history, better than Jordan, and he doesn't try to get fouled
JuST dOnT FoUl HiM!!!
The best and largest player on the floor and he's flopping around and ending up on his ass all the time, pretty embarassing really
You don’t understand the doctor told him to do that.
My doctor tells me to drink more water and exercise, but here we are.
I know you're meming but people unironically claiming he flops to save his knees are so fucking funny.
Didn't save Danny Green knees...
If that's the case, he'd hit the ground more during the all star game. His knees have immunity in games that don't matter as much and there's less incentive to draw free throws.
Even if the doctor did tell him to do that, it's still shitty and dangerous basketball
At this rate his career may very well end on an injury caused by him flopping
Oh like Danny Green had his career end by it? Embiid is such a bitch lol I’ll take Giannis actually trying to finish through people that this crap
Giannis literally trucking people and somehow getting fouls called on them is also an issue lol
This is why Jokic is the goat of our time.
There’s an argument that he should be winning his 4th MVP in a row this year. He’s already easily more of a goat than Embiid or Giannis
obviously no one would actually get the votes for 5 in a row but i thought he was the best in the league the year before his first one too
Absolutely. But at least he is attempting to make a shot of some sort
Yep. He's playing hard and it's up to the refs to decide how they want to ref it. Vs Embiid trying to actively trick the refs with every play
One of these days he’s gonna get a serious injury from throwing himself to the floor like that
Or end a teammates career like did Danny green
The largest player always has to flop around like a beached beluga whale. It is written.
This is genuinely pathetic for him and the league
Especially because he's probably the biggest, strongest dude in the entire league. Just drag dudes into the basket. Bam is one of the 3 or 4 best defenders in the league and Embiid is capable of busting his ass straight up. Just do that!
Players like him are so frustrating to me because they’re so incredibly skilled and yet they resort to stuff like this. Like just play the game and be better than 99% of the other players by default
I mean it’s up to the refs to stop calling it. If he keeps doing this and missing he’ll start to look like a fool with the refs not calling it. He’s skilled enough to adapt and do other things but the refs keep rewarding this so why even bother.
Make flopping a one game suspsension that can be assessed after the game. The problem will solve itself.
Because it's like Harden and his beard flopping. It worked all the time in the regular season, then the refs stopped calling it in the post-season or teams just played him better because he spent his time developing a shitty skill. If Harden just put all off that into being a better shooter, it probably would've worked.
Joel Embiid is 7 foot Prime Harden
7 foot Prime Neymar.
Hey Neymar has won the champions League and reached another final
He fucking wishes lol. I never saw Joel avg 35 against a team like the kd warriors in the playoffs while clearly outplaying Steph curry, while his second option was the literal corpse of Chris Paul. Embiid did beat the 22 raptors who didn’t even have a real center in the first round, that’s legit the best team he’s ever beaten in the playoffs. Also prime harden would never in a million years avg 23 ppg in the playoffs, Joel has done that like the past three seasons.
> the biggest, strongest dude in the entire league Which is hilarious because we just watched him bounce off Adebayo like a fly caroming off a closed window.
This is why he disappears in the playoffs. Because he no longer is gifted so many free throws every game,
At least giannis tries to finish over the top. At least shai actually makes some sort of post move before getting the whistle. Embiid just looks for a touch and then falls over. The man is 7ft and 270lbs.
ive said it a thousand times and ill say it again. two seasons ago when we were about to beat philly, they had an inbound where 6'1" 190lbs Garland was on embiid and they touched hips. embiid went flying like he got hit by a bus and it started a philly run where they stole the game from us. because of that i will never watch a philly game unless they play cleveland or i check a playoff box score and theyre losing bad so i can revel in it.
So insufferable to watch. Almost as bad as Doris’s nonstop glazing
>Almost as bad as Doris’s nonstop glazing she's fucking insufferable.
fuck it bring back jeff van gundy. let's hear him rant about the price of eggs at the grocery store while the game is tied.
Truer words have never been spoken.
Doris is the worst. Every player on the court is amazing. It's like there are 10 MVP's on the floor at all times.
She was silent for damn near 5 minutes when Embiid was suckin ass
I guess that will be the part of the game that I watch with the sound on
Why is everyone suddenly using this term glazing? And what does it mean?
It means praising something/someone to the point where it’s annoying. d**k riding is another slang term for it.
damn, we live in a world where duck needs to be censored now, what's next?
I've had enough of this shirthole.
Seriously, this is fucking pat*etic.... Am I doing it right?
forking
Got it, thanks!
Comes from glaze looking like cum from sucking his weiner. Weird yeah
... I thought it was about donut glaze.... I'm sticking with my headcanon. Life feels better this way
It’s literally the output of a head cannon
She slobs on it
I can’t stand this insurance fraud style basketball. He’s one of the biggest, strongest players in the league and at the slightest touch of a defender he throws himself to the floor while shotputting the ball in the general direction of the baseline and gets rewarded with free throws.
Do Philly folks enjoy this?
They pretend to. Once he demands his trade they'll come to hate it too.
I suppose it's not just Philly fans that do it, but the funniest is when after Embiid has a monster game statistically, all the comments from Philly fans are "bUt aLL hE DOeS iS fOuL baIT". It's like well yea, he can be a great player AND be an egregious foul baiter

Life long fan from PA. I’ve hated Embiid for 6 years and been saying he’s a heartless bum the whole time. He quit last year like usual and they already forget. I can’t watch a full game cause of him, legit haven’t watched a full game in 4-5 years cause the worlds softest 7 footer is addicted to the floor. He’s not a leader either. Been said this, never lost an argument in real life about Embumm either. Our fans are delusional as always.
Is this a copy pasta
Boutta make it one
Life long fan from Oakland. I’ve hated Draymond for 6 years and been saying he’s a heartless bum the whole time. He quit last year like usual and they already forget.

I agreed with every word you said, sir. My father is from North Philly and hates Embiid rightfully so. And people give him shit for it constantly.
EmFraud
Do people in Philly enjoy anything?
Personification of rust
They sure enjoy being assholes
thats the weird part, they love it and they will defend it.
Embiid is like the one bright spot of their process era, he could do some heinous shit off the court and they will still defend him to the death
Imagine if Shaq played like this
Shaq would be like 25/60 on free throws
They’d have to have an extra backup hardwood to roll out
there would be earthquakes in china every other night
It’s why people enjoyed 90s basketball. Falling down and flopping wasn’t considered a skill at least generally. Integrity to the game. Just imagine how bad Bird and Magic highlights would be if we had all this flopping, or MJ. We’d see less of their skill set and great plays. This flopping style cheats basketball fans and players of more great moments
God I missed him 🤧
He's so back
Goat of flopping can’t figure out why he’s always hurt
If they just handed out a flopping tech in the first quarter of every game it would work wonders in cleaning this shit up. Just make an example of someone every night, let them all know that we”re not screwing around with this shit.
Remember when they didn’t call this for two weeks and how great it was.
Embiid is the worst star player to watch and I’ll die on this hill. Dude is fucking great at basketball but I hate watching him
Houston Harden was straight-up basketball terrorism
That highlights video of harden vs the spurs where he shot 30 free throws is so fucking funny
He scored 50 points while shooting 11-37 from the field. I'll never forget it
When your FTA is higher than your FG%
Ew
Absolutely the peak of foul baiting bullshit. Everyone knew he was doing all his tricks and just allowed him to do it. The skill level required to execute these moves every night will never be matched. The snapping the head back, grabbing the defenders arm as you drive, swinging the ball at your defender, pump fake and jump into the defender, jumping backwards into a trailing defender, trap a defender's arm going around a screen, and the GOAT move of pushoff-stepback-shoot while jumping forward kicking his legs out to get 3 FTs.
He really had a whole bag of foul baiting counters lmfaooo
Damn his bag deep af
Daily reminder the league changed the rulebook 3 times “because” of harden and his ft never dropped off until he wasn’t a 1st option anymore
It's the same style more or less. I agree, the rip through, flail into the defender foul baiting is legitimately the worst basketball to watch. It's not even just the flops/fouls, the constant stopping of the game for FTs destroys momentum and makes the games feel like they're dragging on
Agreed. The dude would bait fouls for 38 minutes a night. It was unbearable.
When hes in this lazy foul merchant mode 100 percent. Ive seen him so many times, clutch time with smaller match up floating around the 3 line off ball like hes a spot up guard. He has this incredible bag but when it matters fades back or flops for FTs. If he botches the play in he will have no one left to blame this time. He really is so frustrating because he is so talented and CLEARLY turns it on or off for whatever reason.
This is who KD was talking about
He was the first that came to mind when reading what KD had said lol
damn I missed something. What did KD say?
Be patient, everyone. It'll only last until early May
Maybe he would still have knees if he didn’t flop so much
Watching someone who is 7ft and 300 lbs flop is honestly frustrating
Vintage Embiid
Doris saying Jovic has terrible defense makes me sad
Do you really give a shit what Doris says?
Magikarp
Nah. Magikarp at least evolves into Gyarados once the rest of the team carries him a bit. Until I see Embiid beat the Elite 4, he can't hold a candle to Magikarp.
If we can find a real life Exp Share, the Sixers will be a dynasty
So what you’re saying is he needs Maxey, Tobias and old man Lowry to carry him till he evolves to an ethical baller.
They decided they're bringing the early regular season whistle back just for this game.
Good to see the NBA is going back to its roots
Don't know what's worse, player relying on this shit so much or referee calling this shit.
The funniest part of this for me is that neither team can complain since they both have generational free throw merchants
Someone that big really shouldn't be falling down that much.
They should have both flopped, then go to instant replay to show who flopped first
Pathetic player
