That wasn't an offensive foul on Embiid and Collins should have been ejected for kicking Embiid while they were on the floor

Any shot to the head with the elbow is going to get an offensive foul call.

And did Collins kick him? I only saw the shove because Embiid landed on his nuts.

completely disagree, there was not "shot to the head with the elbow" he went up in a natural motion

It doesn’t matter if it’s intentional or not, natural motion or not. If you hit a guy in the head as a part of your natural motion up with your elbow, it’s an offensive foul. End of story. Whether you like it or not, sports leagues across the board have gone to head protection. I support it.

Nah, you can foul a guy's elbow with your face. I don't think it's a defensive foul, but not an offensive foul. If it is a foul then it is a defensive one in my opinion.

Collins attempted to kick him, but Embiid moved his leg and Collins kicked him with his shin instead of his foot.

How many times has an elbow to the head been defensive over offensive?

MAYBE in the natural shooting motion if you move your face into a guy’s elbow, which would be dumb and painful. But Embiid was moving towards Collins and went with an upward motion which hit Collins in the head.

It’s going to be an offensive foul more than not, at least based on the way the game has been called in the last 5-10 years.

I missed that. No excuse for the Collins reaction. I don’t think Embiid did anything intentionally.

Nice win, Philly. I can’t wait to see Doc blow it in game 7.

Apparently the Hawks forgot that they would need to attempt a 3 at some point near the end there..and that the game was going to end soon.

I am referring to the seating restrictions, I thought they were gonna have more people since a lot of their restrictions were lifted on the 15th

Looks full now...it’s sold out. People in a lot of cities historically don’t get to the games when they start or are getting food/drinks or dealing with traffic/parking—I assume traffic and parking is a ***** around the Staples center
