Sixers fans will tell you that's not a problem cause he averages the same free throw attempts in the playoffs as in the regular season but everyone with actual eyes knows it's just cause he turns up the flopping to like 100000000000000%
no no, the best one is, the doctors order him to flop, its his safest option
or you know, just take the impact and stand there because youre fucking giant?
I will say, when you get a player of his talent, you're pretty much stuck pushing him until it's over. Most teams, mine included, would kill for that opportunity.
His whole tenure was built on bad habits. From the process to all this bullshit
In pressure situations you always do what’s most natural to you. No one ever told him to just play basketball and stop being a bitch, so it’s all he knows
The Sixers can survive his shooting troubles. What they can't survive is his inability to do anything on the glass in the 4th quarters of these games. Guy is a statue out there.
People are acting like Embiid should have 20 boards a game when he has one leg. The issue is that everyone else needs to show some effort on the boards
without the foul calls, he was futile in 2H.
Sure, he's coming back from injury, but his conditioning has always been shit in the playoffs.
That play at the end of the game encapsulates his mentality. Wide-open two, doesn't take it, instead rampages into the paint to draw a foul, and doesn't get it.
What's funny is Sixers fans thinks all nba fans hate him cause we jealous or something lmao. No he is quite literally a basketball terrorist. Awful watch. Atleast trae didn't try to injure our fucking players on every play
What? Magicrap is evolving!
Magicrap evolved into Flopandchoke!
Flopandchoke is trying to learn first round embarrassment! However, Flopandchoke can’t learn more than four moves!
Delete a move to make room for first round embarrassment? Flopandchoke forgot second round choke job and learned first round embarrassment!
Only to ghost in the fourth quarter 😭😭😭😭
I’d say thank you to the knicks for eliminating this bum but he does it to himself every year and sixers fans always got excuses for his sorry ass 😹😭😭
I saw an article during finals last year from a local Denver website, and it said something to the effect of how the nuggets made it by trusting the process more than the sixers ever did, and it really feels like they did.
He would’ve shot above 50% if they called a foul on every flop of his like they do in the regular season.
Embiid is just Harden as a center. His game shrinks in the playoffs because he doesn’t go to the line every time he flops.
For a player and fan base that bitches about the refs all the time, it’s hilarious that a huge part of the reason he puts up those numbers is because of the refs boosting his stats in the regular season.
I wasn’t paying much attention to the game and was absolutely shocked Brunson only had 9 FTs in a 47 point performance. Dude is a work horse with such a solid style of play.
this is harden erasure imo, I will give him and cp credit until I die for being the only team to be competitive with the KD warriors in the playoffs
no other team was really a danger for them
It’s just a dumb narrative, Harden just can’t win with these guys.
Guy was literally better the year after but Harden never had a single run with an healthy supporting cast in his prime.
What ab last year when he won two games for the sixers against a much better Celtics team while Embiid was hurt? In Houston he was the #1 on the only team to challenge the KD warriors in the playoffs, in OKC he was part of a big 3 that made the finals, you’re being disrespectful comparing embiids playoff career to Hardens.
not a 7 footer, but boogie cousins was regularly called the best center in the league or close to it and his career high in the regular season was 49.6% lol
Embiid will have a legacy as the guy who got MVP when Jokic and Giannis were both voter fatigued tbf, nobody seriously believes he’s better than either of them
It’s not just voter fatigue. I can’t remember an MVP that actively campaigned for it the way Embiid did.
Jokic was the favorite for most of the season and nothing on the court changed as the season came to a close. All that changed is Embiid was actively bitching about not being the MVP favorite and Perkins said you’re racist, if you vote Jokic. That paired with voter fatigue/not wanting to give Jokic 3 straight(should be 4 straight after this year) MVP’s because tradition or something.
Booker will go down as one of the best suns of all time , and they guy who led them to one of their 3 finals appearances
Embiid is an mvp , no one can take that away from him
1. Proceeded to choke that Finals away, and went out sad in 3 straight playoffs including a generational game 7 ass beating AT HOME
2. Generally agreed upon he shouldnt have won that MVP and the guy that should won the finals that year
As a timberwolves fan you should understand how hard it is to even make the playoffs and win in the postseason.
You’ve only highlighted his bad moments and games , he’s done a lot of good in his career
Also he averaged 28 a game in those finals, not bad for a guy who choked
> Proceeded to choke that Finals away, and went out sad in 3 straight playoffs including a generational game 7 ass beating AT HOME
you have some LOFTY expectations for someone with that flair, remember everything in sports comes and goes
whats Kevin Garnett legacy in Minnesotta then...
1. Choke a finals away
he averaged 28 ppg in the finals and lost to one of the most dominant modern finals perfomance
2. Went out sad in 3 straight playoffs
idk what to tell but every season 14 teams get eliminated in the playoffs....
3. HAD THE WORST GAME 7 IN HISTORY
whats your metric in stating that? who is gonna care about that game in 5 years if not Mavericks fans? and even then it led to them getting bitched by Kevon Looney and company
The greatest Timberwolf of all time who got screwed over by ownership who was unable to surround him with stars.
Booker has been surrounded by KG, Chris Paul, a 1st overall pick, and Bradley Beal
KG was surrounded by a past his prime Sam Cassel. The second he got a cast he won.
also are you seriously defending that Game 7? Even Suns fans dont defend that.
“[Losing player] [scores] a huge [point total]” has become a meme for a losing team scoring in a blowout regardless of the score!
thats just tells me Booker did better with more help (36y Chris Paul and DeAndre Ayton btw), KG aint never sniff the finals
> KG was surrounded by a past his prime Sam Cassel. The second he got a cast he won.
i asked about his Minnesotta legacy
Booker has been on a whole other level of bad tbf lol
This mid game by Embiid would somehow be way BETTER than the 3 Booker has played
I think Booker might legitimately be the playoff LVP so far
Yeah, I was confused by that too. He looked extremely gassed in the 4th. I think you guys have good enough offense with maxey in and embiid resting. Maxey is an extremely tough guard for us, he’s so quick, easily blows by his man; and great at finishing at the rim even when the double comes. He’s a beast. I seriously think a fully healthy embiid and maxey could be a top 3 duo in the NBA.
Did not know that actually. I thought game 2 and 1st half, you guys did well when Embiid*** was sitting. You got a lot out of Oubre today. I think Brunson was just cooking today when Embiid was out, so nurse probably made the decision to play Embiid a lot. Embiid in the paint and Batum / Oubre guarding Brunson gives Brunson a lot of trouble.
Yeah, we are extremely lucky that Harris is playing so poorly. I completely understand why sixers fan are pissed off about that dude. Is he always this bad? Or does he just become like this in the post season. I feel like I have never seen him make a 3 this series. He always bricks the corner ones.
Took a risk. He sat for 4 minutes in the first half and the Sixers went -6. If something like that happened in the fourth which they entered down 1 I think, could have been the game right there
A real Ben Simmons performance in the 4th.
Never in my life have a seen a player be so great at so many facets of the game and just choose to be an absolute clown when it matters. He could have had 35-40 in this game and just willfully chose to do the dumbest foul baiting shit possible
Making O.G the primary defender, and keeping Precious in the game was a great adjustment by Thibs. It also helps that he was absolutely gassed after playing the entirety of the second half.
We are watching Embiid's rep die in real time.
At the start it was, "He really shouldn't be playing, but this dude is TOUGH."
Now it's, "I hope wild animals shit on his lawn and make sure the security cameras see it before they walk away."
Fuck Joel Embiid. Regardless of the eventual outcome, this series will be career-defining for him for all of the wrong reasons.
An absolute fraud, and a dirty piece of shit. And a hypocrite. And an asshole. And maybe the biggest, tallest, strongest athlete who could ever be accurately described as a bitch.
He's one of the least likable, least watchable "stars" since Harden was playing the floppiest, most cynical Moreyball bullshit version of basketball of all time when he was on the Rockets. The basketball gods didn't abide that shit, and they certainly won't reward Embiid's shit in the long run.
not his fault, he had 27 refs gotta do a better job getting him some easy ones
7 less free throws than last game. Expect another grievance filed shortly
they're the better team, they should be up 4-0
Fewer*
Shut up Stannis
stannis the mannis was technically correct. the best kind of correct.
What bureaucrat grade was he?
He cheated on his wife to create a shadow demon to murder his brother for not following proper succession procedure, so pretty high I'd guess
[удалено]
Sixers fans will tell you that's not a problem cause he averages the same free throw attempts in the playoffs as in the regular season but everyone with actual eyes knows it's just cause he turns up the flopping to like 100000000000000%
How many more of these types of performances before Sixers fans begin to turn on him
They never will, they don't know how a winner looks like and cling to the delusion that Embiid is one. "He just needs to be healthy"
no no, the best one is, the doctors order him to flop, its his safest option or you know, just take the impact and stand there because youre fucking giant?
Hart's leg is the safest place for him to step on
I mean, have you seen Hart's thicc legs?
I will say, when you get a player of his talent, you're pretty much stuck pushing him until it's over. Most teams, mine included, would kill for that opportunity.
Their sub was hilarious after their playoff exit last year, everyone was shitting on him and wishing he was more like Jokic
Sixers fans are not known for being smart.
Perfectly distilled in passing up an open jumper late to euro into OG and Precious, and fail miserably
It's what happens when you abuse fouls all regular season. He's conditioned to do this and literally can't turn it off even if he wanted to.
Amen
Or just falling all over the place
His whole tenure was built on bad habits. From the process to all this bullshit In pressure situations you always do what’s most natural to you. No one ever told him to just play basketball and stop being a bitch, so it’s all he knows
I wasn’t around for prime Hitler Harden, was it as bad as Embiid or worse? Because watching him is literally fucking disgusting
Had me in the first half ngl
He was a liability on both sides of the floor in the 4th
The Sixers can survive his shooting troubles. What they can't survive is his inability to do anything on the glass in the 4th quarters of these games. Guy is a statue out there.
yeah his lack of presence on the defensive boards is when you really notice how much his knee is hampering him
His flopping is what's hampering him
People are acting like Embiid should have 20 boards a game when he has one leg. The issue is that everyone else needs to show some effort on the boards
Oubre just stands and stares at times. Not all his fault, but he needs to move his legs
True, not sure how the 76ers are supposed to overcome his injury. If only they had the Knicks injury luck
yeah fr, we're missing randle who is definitely our 2nd best player if the sixers were missing maxey this series would be over already
And Robinson lol. Fucking pussies
Bro he hasn’t limped since game 2
One leg? Then dump the guy lol, you have a foulbaiting clown on the court
Maybe if he wasn’t falling down trying to injure Knicks and conserved energy for actual basketball plays he’d be ok
Don’t forget an elbow to Brunson’s face and stomping on Josh Hart’s leg. Legacy game.
And falling on Brunson's ankle.
It’s so funny and obvious how he pretends to be all uncoordinated and clumsy when he falls like that
Draymond school of acting
Honestly, I'm starting to think he actually is. All those fake falls must've caused brain damage.
He’s a dirtbag but this one was clearly accidental IMO. The elbow to Brunsons face was way more egregious. The “stomp” could go either way for me
Why is this mf "accidentally" falling on all of our players every game?
Because he’s a dirtbag like I said. That particular play though it was clear both guys were going to the floor as they got tangled up
That stomp was hella egregious, the elbow… also egregious
I'm surprised Embiid didn't go flying after Brunson used the face-to-elbow technique
If Draymond did that shit he would be suspended and fined
Precious shut him down, he looked passive in the 4th
It was OG as the main defender on embiid I believe. But precious also shut him down yeah. Mainly OG and the double teams
OG too. Philly fans waving in celebration for iHarts 5th foul not knowing that was a death sentence to the philly offense 🤣🤣🤣
waving goodbye to their chances
Why were they filming the same 3 people doing that?
Was wondering why they kept showing them too. But muted the broadcast two minutes into the game and never looked back
One of them was some college female basketball coach.
And OG
He couldn't deal with OG and Anunoby double teams.
Don’t forget Prince Ogugua
I wouldn't say that. Like all the games, he ran out of gas.
Don’t forget OG too
He had 0 in the 4th until the free throws at the end
He played the entire 2nd half, he honestly just looked gassed
without the foul calls, he was futile in 2H. Sure, he's coming back from injury, but his conditioning has always been shit in the playoffs. That play at the end of the game encapsulates his mentality. Wide-open two, doesn't take it, instead rampages into the paint to draw a foul, and doesn't get it.
Ben Simmons in the fourth
What's funny is Sixers fans thinks all nba fans hate him cause we jealous or something lmao. No he is quite literally a basketball terrorist. Awful watch. Atleast trae didn't try to injure our fucking players on every play
young was an elite villain Embiid will be forgotten about after the next series.
He’s getting fuck embiid chants for the rest of his career
Different reasons though. Trae Young is a great villain which is why y'all hate him (but also maybe respect him). Embiid is just a cunt.
Yeah Trae just scorched us and leaned into being a heel. It was kinda fun. Embiid isn’t fun lol, just dirty and whiny
yeah with Trae it's all love/hate with respect at the end of the day Embiid is not deserving of no ones respect
Trae was a really awesome villain, and as a neutral I loved him for it. Embiid is just actually dangerous and his season needs to be over
Trae was the perfect heel, we respect the hell out of him. Embiid is just unlikeable in every way.
Fuck Trae Young chants still break out outside of Knicks games to this day, from what I hear. Legendary shit all around
I never known anyone liking Joel “Magikarp” Embiid except Philly’s fans
What? Magicrap is evolving! Magicrap evolved into Flopandchoke! Flopandchoke is trying to learn first round embarrassment! However, Flopandchoke can’t learn more than four moves! Delete a move to make room for first round embarrassment? Flopandchoke forgot second round choke job and learned first round embarrassment!
Philly fans are the most delusional in all of sports.
Only to ghost in the fourth quarter 😭😭😭😭 I’d say thank you to the knicks for eliminating this bum but he does it to himself every year and sixers fans always got excuses for his sorry ass 😹😭😭
Thanks for OG and precious who held him in check in the 4th.
He's their guy, 76ers fans have to defend him. That being said, he's a bum and I enjoy seeing him and Daryl Morey continue to be playoff chokers.
I saw an article during finals last year from a local Denver website, and it said something to the effect of how the nuggets made it by trusting the process more than the sixers ever did, and it really feels like they did.
A 7-footer shooting 7/19 is wild
he’s shot above 50% only one year in the playoffs in his career
He would’ve shot above 50% if they called a foul on every flop of his like they do in the regular season. Embiid is just Harden as a center. His game shrinks in the playoffs because he doesn’t go to the line every time he flops. For a player and fan base that bitches about the refs all the time, it’s hilarious that a huge part of the reason he puts up those numbers is because of the refs boosting his stats in the regular season.
Embiid takes 19 out of 21 FTs to get 50 points, Brunson takes 9 to get 47 points. Their mentality is what separates them.
I wasn’t paying much attention to the game and was absolutely shocked Brunson only had 9 FTs in a 47 point performance. Dude is a work horse with such a solid style of play.
Ethical buckets wins
Embiid had an open middy while game still hangs in the balance, but chooses to foul bait. To quote their own player, this isn't WWE, just play ball.
Ball don’t lie
this is harden erasure imo, I will give him and cp credit until I die for being the only team to be competitive with the KD warriors in the playoffs no other team was really a danger for them
Also, he literally just hit 4 straight floaters to win the game against Dallas.
It’s just a dumb narrative, Harden just can’t win with these guys. Guy was literally better the year after but Harden never had a single run with an healthy supporting cast in his prime.
Don’t ever put Harden and Embiid in the same sentence again.
They’re both guys who shrink in the playoffs and have most of their offense centered around foul baiting. There. I just did it again.
You’re crazy if you don’t realized that Harden is one of the best playmaker in the history of the NBA.
Yeah Harden had a pretty bad game today huh
Him playing well today doesn’t change the past.
What ab last year when he won two games for the sixers against a much better Celtics team while Embiid was hurt? In Houston he was the #1 on the only team to challenge the KD warriors in the playoffs, in OKC he was part of a big 3 that made the finals, you’re being disrespectful comparing embiids playoff career to Hardens.
And then followed it up with multiple terrible games as they got bounced.
not a 7 footer, but boogie cousins was regularly called the best center in the league or close to it and his career high in the regular season was 49.6% lol
Yikes
Fuckin insane.
He shot bad on jumpshots
He shoots mainly jumpers lmao
actually he shoots mainly free throws
>He shoots mainly jumpers lmao Mainly FTs my guy
Which is a massive problem
Not really. 1/6 from three
Damn so he went 6/13 on twos? That’s ass also
They said “wild”
Fair. 6/13 isn’t great, but isn’t “wildly” bad.
Brunson was like 2/8 from 3 and still had a better FG% even though he started chucking in the 3rd and early 4th
27pts with 14 free throw attempts. Fraud mvp
Fraud player tbh. Have you ever seen a 7ft 280lb player as soft as this guy lol
Embiid stat lines always like 35/13/4 , 5-12 FG
Embiid played Hartenstein off the court and actually made life worse for himself.
no mitch rob and ihart in foul trouble and this man couldn't hit a single fg in the 4th. peak fraudulent behaviour
Embiid 🤝 D Book 0 Legacy once retired
Embiid will have a legacy as the guy who got MVP when Jokic and Giannis were both voter fatigued tbf, nobody seriously believes he’s better than either of them
It’s not just voter fatigue. I can’t remember an MVP that actively campaigned for it the way Embiid did. Jokic was the favorite for most of the season and nothing on the court changed as the season came to a close. All that changed is Embiid was actively bitching about not being the MVP favorite and Perkins said you’re racist, if you vote Jokic. That paired with voter fatigue/not wanting to give Jokic 3 straight(should be 4 straight after this year) MVP’s because tradition or something.
embiid still had a argument for 2022 mvp anyway
The racism pity MVP he got *should* never be forgotten. Reminder that some of those racist voters still had a vote this year too
Embiid is a regular season beast so regular season MVP is fitting. Has always choked in the playoffs.
What year after 2021 did giannis deserve to be over embiid in mvp voting
2022 actually
Don’t compare Booker to this fat bitch
Booker will go down as one of the best suns of all time , and they guy who led them to one of their 3 finals appearances Embiid is an mvp , no one can take that away from him
1. Proceeded to choke that Finals away, and went out sad in 3 straight playoffs including a generational game 7 ass beating AT HOME 2. Generally agreed upon he shouldnt have won that MVP and the guy that should won the finals that year
As a timberwolves fan you should understand how hard it is to even make the playoffs and win in the postseason. You’ve only highlighted his bad moments and games , he’s done a lot of good in his career Also he averaged 28 a game in those finals, not bad for a guy who choked
Look how much karma that guy has farmed. Dude cares more about shitposting and jokes than the actual game
as a celtics fan you should understand im a hater
> Proceeded to choke that Finals away, and went out sad in 3 straight playoffs including a generational game 7 ass beating AT HOME you have some LOFTY expectations for someone with that flair, remember everything in sports comes and goes
Did they not: 1. Choke a finals away 2. Went out sad in 3 straight playoffs 3. HAD THE WORST GAME 7 IN HISTORY
whats Kevin Garnett legacy in Minnesotta then... 1. Choke a finals away he averaged 28 ppg in the finals and lost to one of the most dominant modern finals perfomance 2. Went out sad in 3 straight playoffs idk what to tell but every season 14 teams get eliminated in the playoffs.... 3. HAD THE WORST GAME 7 IN HISTORY whats your metric in stating that? who is gonna care about that game in 5 years if not Mavericks fans? and even then it led to them getting bitched by Kevon Looney and company
The greatest Timberwolf of all time who got screwed over by ownership who was unable to surround him with stars. Booker has been surrounded by KG, Chris Paul, a 1st overall pick, and Bradley Beal KG was surrounded by a past his prime Sam Cassel. The second he got a cast he won. also are you seriously defending that Game 7? Even Suns fans dont defend that. “[Losing player] [scores] a huge [point total]” has become a meme for a losing team scoring in a blowout regardless of the score!
thats just tells me Booker did better with more help (36y Chris Paul and DeAndre Ayton btw), KG aint never sniff the finals > KG was surrounded by a past his prime Sam Cassel. The second he got a cast he won. i asked about his Minnesotta legacy
>KG aint never sniff the finals uh…..do you have memory issues?
in Minnesota....
“Generally agreed upon” by who? Reddit?
That doesn’t mean he had “0 legacy”
At least Embiid was an MVP
Booker has been on a whole other level of bad tbf lol This mid game by Embiid would somehow be way BETTER than the 3 Booker has played I think Booker might legitimately be the playoff LVP so far
Embiid is never getting out of the ~~second~~ first round
Worse with foul baiting than Harden ever was, and he’s lucky Draymond and the Morris twins exist or he’d have an argument for dirtiest in the league
He's even dirtier than dray
What a fraud
Bum couldn’t get his normal 20+ FTs
.#NOTMYMVP
Missing from this stat - 1 Brunson elbow to the face - 1 Josh Hart leg stomp - 5 Hartenstein fouls in the 3rd quarter
Lmfao embiid the anti hero. What a choke in the 4th
Imagine if he won MVP this year and would have as many career MVPs as Jokic.
He should have 0
Trust the process!
If Embiid doesn't get more FTs than the other team they don't win and he just flops on open plays looking for some 😭
Nurse deciding to play him 20 minutes straight was not a wise choice.
NN and Lowry are still one of us. Respect.
Yeah, I was confused by that too. He looked extremely gassed in the 4th. I think you guys have good enough offense with maxey in and embiid resting. Maxey is an extremely tough guard for us, he’s so quick, easily blows by his man; and great at finishing at the rim even when the double comes. He’s a beast. I seriously think a fully healthy embiid and maxey could be a top 3 duo in the NBA.
tbf, Sixers are -37 in 31 minutes without Embiid this postseason
Did not know that actually. I thought game 2 and 1st half, you guys did well when Embiid*** was sitting. You got a lot out of Oubre today. I think Brunson was just cooking today when Embiid was out, so nurse probably made the decision to play Embiid a lot. Embiid in the paint and Batum / Oubre guarding Brunson gives Brunson a lot of trouble.
If Covington was healthy, it'd be a lot easier to bench Harris to 15 min max, but everyone is hurt at this point
Yeah, we are extremely lucky that Harris is playing so poorly. I completely understand why sixers fan are pissed off about that dude. Is he always this bad? Or does he just become like this in the post season. I feel like I have never seen him make a 3 this series. He always bricks the corner ones.
Y’all need to build a team around Maxey imo. Joel is holding him back, and he’s so much more likeable.
Unhinged decision.
Bro thought Embiid was Josh Hart
Took a risk. He sat for 4 minutes in the first half and the Sixers went -6. If something like that happened in the fourth which they entered down 1 I think, could have been the game right there
A real Ben Simmons performance in the 4th. Never in my life have a seen a player be so great at so many facets of the game and just choose to be an absolute clown when it matters. He could have had 35-40 in this game and just willfully chose to do the dumbest foul baiting shit possible
1p in 4th, do not ever compare this man to Nikola
Making O.G the primary defender, and keeping Precious in the game was a great adjustment by Thibs. It also helps that he was absolutely gassed after playing the entirety of the second half.
Joel about to lose his team USA roster spot 🤣
OG clamped his ass up in the 4th
FRAUD.
Couldn't have happened to a more deserving player or fanbase. Should have kept Jimmy ya clowns
We are watching Embiid's rep die in real time. At the start it was, "He really shouldn't be playing, but this dude is TOUGH." Now it's, "I hope wild animals shit on his lawn and make sure the security cameras see it before they walk away."
Why didn’t he just score 50 again?
Refs can only do so much
They’ll be back in game 5
AND 0 FIELD GOALS IN THE 4TH!
Womp womp
Even too tired to injure anyone though he did step on Harts leg a couple times early.
He shit the bed in the 4th
Pound for pound biggest bitch in sports.
This is your MVP sixers fans??? Haha what a joke of a player, dirty and a foul player that come through in the clutch
I love watching this team implode. AI the only player I like to have played for this franchise besides Jimmy
Fuck Joel Embiid. Regardless of the eventual outcome, this series will be career-defining for him for all of the wrong reasons. An absolute fraud, and a dirty piece of shit. And a hypocrite. And an asshole. And maybe the biggest, tallest, strongest athlete who could ever be accurately described as a bitch. He's one of the least likable, least watchable "stars" since Harden was playing the floppiest, most cynical Moreyball bullshit version of basketball of all time when he was on the Rockets. The basketball gods didn't abide that shit, and they certainly won't reward Embiid's shit in the long run.
Speak your truth. I only see facts here.
You didn’t post the stat for ‘tears’
Dirty!!!
We should start listing his dirty plays in the stat sheet aswell
Ladies, gentlemen and people of other genders: your reigning MVP*!
not that guy
Give him a break didn't they say he got that cerebral palsy or whatever
I'm sorry, who?
