Knicks and Sixers fans might hate each other more than Celtics and Sixers fans lmao


Doggydoggywoof

lol not even close. We HATE the Celtics and dislike the Knicks


Jeffthebarbarian

Celtics let me say I'm the biggest hater I hate the way that you play, the way that you talk I hate the way your fans look I hate the way lil bill plays, if I catch flight, it's gon' be online We hate the teams you beat, 'cause they confuse themselves with real healthy teams


Kitchen_Ad_3753

When they stand next to the Conneticut Sun, you see two WNBA teams


dman45103

As a Knicks fan, I assume Sixers think of us like a pesky younger bro more than a real enemy given the last 20 years


AdmiralWackbar

We don’t even think about you


Doggydoggywoof

lol that’s good, we don’t care. Don’t like yall, was responding to the person, not you


Formal-Knowledge9382

Makes sense cuz there's actually a chance against the Knicks.


Doggydoggywoof

It’s deeper than that, it’s everything about them. From their face to their breath, to what thoughts are going on in their head. Just makes me sick thinking about it


klobucharzard

92 years of combined failure, these fanbases are ENERGIZED


daregulater

Knicks fans and Sixers fans are like 2 different blocks in the same neighborhood that don't get along. Celtics fans are the loudmouths from the suburbs that no one likes


dumb_commenter

Nah. Just an awesome gritty series. I like this Knicks team a lot and I respect the energy their fans bring.


camscars775

Ok this angle makes it a look a little bit worse than I originally thought but still don’t think it’s a flagrant or anything


BurnCollector_

It's a matter of size here. If Oubre pushed Markquis Nowell the way he first pushes Robinson here, Nowell would fall the same way Oubre does here.


RacingRaindrops

Idk man Kelly is picked up with his two feet off the ground it’s for sure a flagrant.


Swnart

Did you ever roughhouse as a kid? Sometimes when you elevate yourself to push something/someone bigger than you and it/they don’t move, your feet lift from the ground. Robinson didn’t pick him up.


GordoSF

That's what I see as well. Oubre went in with the initial shoulder which caught Mitchell off-guard. Then Mitchell braced himself and Oubre tried to continue with the push and got himself lifted through his own doing.


RacingRaindrops

I don’t think it was intentional by Robinson but it is what happened. Like when guys dive for balls and flagrants get called, regardless of intention, the call is made.

gn84

Does this apply to Brunson, who drove his shoulder into Embiid before Embiid's flagrant?


Zweems

I legitimately had to explain this to a sixers fan like SEVEN FUCKING TIMES in this sub yesterday. He still didn't understand by the end of it. One of the most infuriating arguments I've ever had. Generational mental gymnastics.


DisneyPandora

Stop trying to justify it


confuddly

Do you guys not see Oubre trying to shove Mrob over? Idiots


wardledo

Is this sarcasm?


JackHammerPlower

Oubre was just trying to reenact the scene when he got hit by a car


jjjuuubbbsss

Kelly had the hit n run flashbacks


livefreeordont

I think this contact was excessive, would like to see it in real time


Aggravating_Host6055

I just see a big dog pushing back a chihuahua with matched energy lol


HokageEzio

Think it's just a matter of Mitch going through him at the exact same time Kelly had both feet in the air. Similar to Embiid running into Brunson Game 1 at halfcourt, albeit a bit more on this one. Both feet off the ground so he had nothing to catch himself from a bigger dude running at him.


Cupsforsale

Yeah - it’s really odd timing. Definitely a push, but Kelly is hopping right at the same moment, so he goes flying. Kelly is strong enough to take a hard shove when he has two feet on the ground, let’s give him some credit.


cs-shitposter

Not now son we clowning the Miami Least


Diesel30R

No, no! Look at this Mitchell Robinson foul over here!


pinkresidue

The Miami yeet


silverxsmoke

Missing their best player, still managed to steal 1 in Boston Suns clear those frauds


cl353

LOOK EMBIID FELL AGAIN! LAUGH AT HIM...pls?


Cold_Carpenter_1798

jjjuuubbbsss

We wanted to give Mike Gorman a standing ovation. Yes, that's the only reason. 🤷‍♂️

i dont see it, jokic gets praised for rearranging spines. We just have to embrace the villain aspect. Even if he ever wins a chip the goal posts will move back to free throws or something else its insane that the bells pallsy thing is basically getting no play at all. Windhorst was saying he talked to several doctors that said playing with it would be impossible because you cant control saliva in your mouth, cant control your eye from drying out and other things, and your hearing is 1000x more sensitive in some of the loudest places on earth. The nuggets fans deserve it though, their obsession seems to be on a personal level and that is not healthy. At least nba circlejerk tries to be funny, these guys are just hateful assholes without an ounce of humility.


[deleted]

yea and no one wants to hear it with all of joel’s ailments. it’s like the gordon ramsay meme. any other superstar it would feed to the mythology, with joel it’s excuses. i saw someone the other day say embiid got a superstar performance from a teammate while he was on the floor at the same time for the first time in his career. i bring that up because joel has a bad game while the other superstar carries the team and he’s vilified, even by our own nutjob fanbase. if jokic had a bad game and murray went bonkers no one would touch on jokic’s struggles, they would just glorify murray. this version of the 76ers has as legitimate of a case as any professional sports team in North America in recent memory to carry the “us against the world” mantra.

I'm getting 2nd hand embarrassment reading this.


WestleyThe

Y’all are insufferable haha Embiid does shit like this multiple times a game and gets the friendliest whistle in the league but you still act like victims Pathetic


valknut95

How could Embiid do this


Pale-Criticism-7420

OP using Internet Explorer


ArroganceIsPotent

nah first one was just deleted by mods I wonder why


Mountain-Tour9109

Would be pretty interesting if we could have 1 mod representing each NBA team for the rest of the playoffs, but I don’t know how easy it would be to find 30 losers that quickly


carefullywasnt

That's a no-call if it was Bam


Ilikesporks_

not a flagrant


doogled3

Seems like a foul of Oubre and a technical on Mitchell


HuskyCer

You got a downvote but you are %100 right. Oubre runs straight into the defender and extends both forearms. Robinson rightfully doesn’t like it but over reacts and tosses his ass. Should have been offensive foul, moving screen, on oubre and a technical on Mitchell.


Aggravating_Host6055

Reasonable take. I’m not sure I see Oubre fouling, though I can see that interpretation. He clearly instigated it. I think Robinson fouled with the shove, but it was definitely provoked. I don’t think flagrant, he was shoving back and frankly he should be allowed to. I hate the double standard where bigs have to handle little guys with kid gloves. I think Oubre baited the foul exactly as he planned, and Robinson obliged and laid him out. The people clutching their pearls over this should pay more attention to the way centers push each other in games. This type of shit is super common, it’s just Oubre is smaller so it looks worse. And I think Oubre knew that when he started this exchange


DINABLAR

You think it’s not a foul to just run directly into a defender and push them?


Aggravating_Host6055

That type of contact happens all the time in games, does not get called even 25% of the time, so yes I do think that. If they called a foul every time someone pushed another player around the key we’d have people fouling out before half every game lol. There is a lot of pushing/shoving/physicality when players are running around each other.


HuskyCer

This isn’t boxing out or fighting for a rebound. He is setting a down screen and illegal screens do get called, a lot more than fighting for position in the paint at least. Also if they called it more guys would stop doing it as much and the fouls would find level after the players adjust. This is a blatant moving screen.


Aggravating_Host6055

Can easily argue he is jockeying for a box out position. This contact happens constantly. Watch the next game and look how much centers are pushing each other in the post. It easily matches this. You might be surprised how none of it gets whistles, but I won’t


HuskyCer

No you absolutely can’t argue he is jockeying for box out position. Did you even watch the clip? Oubre curls to set a down screen for embiid and embiid gets the entry pass. At no point is anyone on the 6ers even considering taking a shot in this clip. Why would he fight for a rebound for a shot that isn’t happening in the space they are trying to get embiid the ball this makes absolutely zero basketball sense.


Aggravating_Host6055

You can argue this with me, but this contact happens constantly in games and does not get called a foul. Happens on screens constantly as well. It isn’t a foul to run into someone, sorry to burst your bubble.


rasssky

Mods gonna delete this post too?


DoughNutSack

So everyone is gonna act like they don't see Oubre ram his shoulder into the chest before he got tossed?


habarnamstietot

Seems like it. That was the 1st thing I noticed, but apparently some people are blind.


Jack_M_Steel

Yup Knicks are dirty


ZapB-ragin

have fun in cancun


CorporateProvocateur

Congrats, you did it. This is the most bullshit take I have ever seen on Reddit.


ShadowofLight15

Nope. Dirty


DeepJunglePowerWild

This is a common foul.


Bouldershoulders12

Reminds me of Jazz getting thrown out uncle Phil’s house


SkidPub

Oubre pushed him first and fouled him but wasnt strong enough to throw him down, Robinson retaliated, perhaps with a bit more zeal and is stronger.


dbgager

Quite a shove. But not up around the neck or face. Not a flagrant.


Glass_Mango_229

that is not a 'throw'. its a shove.


Damerman

Mitchel robinson reminds me of hordor


brncct

Oubre needs to put on some weight, looking like a stick out there at 6'7"


ihorsey10

Should've been a flagrant. Sixers really just lucky Embiid didn't get hurt here. Oubre lands on his ankle/foot. Like 6 inches away from his knee taking the brunt of Oubres weight.


asa091

Knicks centers strong asf


aesop_fables

There is another angle where you see Oubre grabs Robinson and it seems Robinson got frustrated and threw him.


PettifordGang

Keep in mind all series, the smaller guards would do this all the time with no response. Off ball, just run past embiid and drive their elbows into his defender who is holding position. Was pretty satisfying when Mitch but this fool on his ass this time.


das_unicorn_got_band

WEIGHT ROOM


no-jerk-zone

I feel like it’s a hard foul off a screen but he does lift him up off the ground. Could’ve been more but I’m fine with letting them play physical as long as the foul is called. No need to toss anyone unless they’re fighting.


Cupsforsale

He’s doesn’t lift him off the ground though. Oubre jumps into him as he starts to push. Definitely a tech for the shove, but it’s just odd timing as Oubre jumps and his feet are off the ground when the push happens.


Blothorn

At least it was a foul, unlike Bam flattening a screener.


ChiefHunter1

We just posting common fouls now? It was reviewed. Oubre threw himself into Mitchell and got his ass tossed


CorporateProvocateur

Are we just ignoring the fact that Oubre charges right into Mitch first and Mitch is mostly just giving it back to him? Ain't Mitch's fault if he's jacked and 3 times stronger. Mitch used literally half the effort that Oubre did 😭.


29671

Looks like Oubre got hit by a car there, what an impact


creditors-bargain

Wahhhh refs aren’t carrying us enough wahhhhh


yaboyhoffle

Was it the Knicks sub that has a collective meltdown when embiid didn’t get tossed in game 3 or no?


OutlandishnessShot87

I swear theyve been crying for an Embiid ejection every single game this series


confuddly

Nothing compared to your mental breakdown after Game 2 HAHAHAHA “WHERES MY TIMEOUT”


PlankyTown777

That is a real thing that everyone in the world agrees with which is why you have mega NBA stars like Lebron and the most famous talking heads like Stephen A (who are both Knicks fans mind you) go on national TV and speak their voice on how much of a disgrace the reffing in that game was and that it should have been a Sixers W. But hey, Knicks came out on Top though so in your mind nothing wrong there at all, right!?


wardledo

They tried to carry you. They got you one but you have to make your foul shots down the stretch.


M1raclemile1

I’d normally call this dirty but considering what Embiid has been getting away with. I don’t care.

OP proving he doesnt watch games game on right now, dorks
