NBA doesn't have the balls but Embiid should get that F1 upgraded to and F2 and miss Game 4

Or the regular foul on Hartenstein upgraded to F1 when he ran down the court and kneed him ever so directly in the groin.

Silver has zero huevos though.

Ham is awful, kinda dripping out now the Nugs clearly have their number again. I bet there will be some savage leaks over the next week or so. LBJ and Davis clearly are over him anyway.

Draymond got suspended for a game in the finals, gifting a Championship to Lebron, for doing just this.

Either one of those Embiid flagrants should be suspension for game 4. And there is precedent. If you let guys tackle guys by their ankles, injuring them in the process, the **** will get out of hand.

AD is a joke. I don't think he played anything except that lazy drop coverage the whole series on the Jokic PnR. Lol at this dude making all defense.

Its not like he did one dirty play. He did two vs our centers and that pull down **** on Mitch was beyond egregious.

Draymond did not get suspended. he received a flagrant foul which resulted in a suspension because he had accumulated too many flagrant fouls.

tbf to AD Jokic also had a monster series against Bam in the finals last year. prime Wemby is the only one who has a shot at slowing him down.

Joel Embiid was lucky not to be ejected Thursday night from Game 3 of Philadelphia's playoff series against the Knicks. In the first quarter, after failing to successfully flop against a bulldozing OG Anunoby, Embiid grabbed at the knees and ankles of Mitchell Robinson and yanked the New York center to the floor as he was jumping to dunk the ball [...] Robinson, who missed most of four months of the regular season following ankle surgery, was uninjured on the play, or at least appeared so; Robinson stayed in the game and played a further 10 minutes of the first half, but was later ruled out with a sprained ankle and sent home in a walking boot.

[...] he made 12 free throws, two more than the total number of field goals that the 76ers attempted in game's final frame. Embiid finished the game with a career playoff high 50 points on just 19 shot attempts; the Associated Press says this was the first time in NBA history that someone scored at least 50 points in a playoff game on fewer than 20 shots.

[...] Asked after the game about the Robinson play, he said he felt unsafe on the floor in that moment. "I was trying to make sure he doesn’t land on me," he explained, of using his arms to lasso the legs of a large lumbering opponent and thereby causing that opponent to fall directly onto him. [...] But Embiid also said in the postgame that he and his teammates were making a specific effort to be the more physically punishing team in Game 3, after frankly doing a lot of whining earlier in the series about the Knicks beating them up. If the Robinson grab was some the former, it was also at least a little bit of the latter; by that point in the game, Embiid had already whacked Hartenstein in the dick and balls and then stampeded him in the open court, the latter earning an offensive foul.

african draymond, horrible to watch, a stain on the game

don't know what lakers roster would look like right now if they dont make the deal but KCP/kuz/1st for Russ and then not re-signing caruso/schroder (guess schroder found his way back to them anyway) still haunts the lakers today

i cant say what would've happened from '21-now if they don't do that deal, but it would've gone a lot better for them

“Joel Embiid doesn’t play dirty”

Joel Embiid has more career flagrant fouls (23) than the entire Knicks rotation.

Joel Embiid has more flagrant fouls than Draymond Green.

In 481 less games.

Pacers shot hot for sure, but still 14 assists to 1 in the first quarter is telling

Then again, so is 13 FTs to 0
