The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[nick.]

EYE remember knicks fans writing think pieces in here about how bad NBA refs are after this play.



Now it’s just part of the game, eh?

Similar, but different.

There was 0.0 on the clock. Correct call would have directly led to overtime, the wrong call directly led to the end of the game.

 

[akajae]

lol

Correct call the other night would’ve iced the game for Philly.

 

[nick.]

No, there was 16.1 seconds on the clock when Maxey turned it over

Embiid is a great player, but just not a good leader.

Agreed with Barkley when he said as the MVP and best player on the team, you can’t have your head down blaming the refs. The rest of the team sees that, not a good look.

He ain't perfect. But he doesn't need to be the clear leader of the pack. The fact that he's playing with one leg is already leading by example.

Curry is lucky to have Dray as the vocal leader and other championship teams have the same setup.

Embiid used to reflect his frustration with his body language but this year you see less of that.

He's still not the vocal leader though and that's fine.

I'm more concerned about his health at this point. He just does NOT look good out there.

Coupé It was right after that Rockets loss.

 

[noblekane]

I forgot about dis- I second this on both fronts

 

[picasso swerve]

lol

Why they got him looking like 007 though?

 

[ill steelo]

Crazy.

Had this clipped up to post but got distracted when I said he could barely move and ballinsam23 disagreed and just pointed to the box score

His current output is a testament to his jumper.

Philly has to win the turnover battle because they’re going to get hammered on the glass. Mitch Hart & Hart are relentless all 48.

THEY dont want him out there in a ben davis set with high socks and chucks on

 

[xxpizzo]

just look at how worthless tobiass is

embiid on a busted leg still almost out runs tobiass

tobiass gave no effort

go up with a hard ******* foul or something

 

[picasso swerve]

Bro the dude been wearing dark shades to hide his left eye

What does him not looking at the post game cameras got to do with anything ?

Yall reach for so much bs

Only with embiid lol

Tbh I dont think anyone outside of Philly fans really ***** with Embiid. Seeing him being a giant baby, crying after games, flopping with his big ***. No wonder people have no sympathy for him. Hes a generational talent but he isnt the most likeable star either.

 

[keko jones]

I've always believed that playoff basketball is officiated differently. More contact is allowed, fewer whistles, and so on. Especially regulating the hunting for fouls. For goodness' sake, they had to implement a rule for a team that made a living by flopping and disrupting the game. I don't know... mistakes happen, and whether it was or not, at the end of the day, it didn't determine the outcome.
