Where you getting this 14 flagrant fouls claim?

Career. Not season

 

[Darth Dawkins]

This is why I keep coming back! Embiid broken bone on the face after a careless and reckless elbow and we’re calling Embiid a dirty player. Love that energy.

Did you think it was careless and reckless right after the fact? An hour later? Six hours later or this afternoon when everyone realized it was actually a problem? JE's face just unfortunately just got in the way of a move. Sucks for you guys but it just happened. Sucks for sure, but shit happens.

1. Embiid shouldn't be using Kobes airplane celebration up 29 in a 1st round game. He didn't deserve to get his face broken for it. But it was still an inappropriate use violation.

2. Siakam's elbow didn't look intentional and I haven't heard anyone ever accuse him of being a dirty player, so he gets the benefit of the doubt. But it should have been a flagrant 1.

3. Philly fans booed Santa...so they can stfu.

4. It's Doc's fault anyway. Dude's been injury prone his whole career and Doc's dumb ass still has him in when the only thing left to be decided was how much the Sixers were going to win by? Seriously? You could make the case that he was trying to run up the score and it may have cost the Sixers any shot they had at winning this series. With concussion protocol, solid chance they're down 3-0 by the time he's able to play.

All facts

Exactly. If this elbow was so careless, reckless, and intentional then why wasn't a word said about it last night?

You said it was a flagrant 1 (which i agree with) but nothing about it being intentional/careless/reckless

That’s a flagrant 1 on Siakam. I know this because Embiid has taken 7 or 8 of those this season.

Like the people who cheered for KD being injured the Raptors fans are now cheering as they watch Embiid take an elbow to the face.

Eh, it was a basketball move and unfortunate for Embiid.
But, at this point, I would remove the starters and get them on the bus.

Nevermind, ruled an offensive foul.
Karma.

Just need another shot of Nick Nurse complaining, oh wait, there it is.

I'll take your word for it, I have no intention of wanting to revisit that abhorrent second half.

Agree with the Doc stuff. Will also agree Embiid is immature but dude has just been subjected to Fuck Embiid for 3 ball games. So when he sticks the landing in modern sports he earns the right to celebrate. It’s Kobe’s but that wasn’t about Kobe. That’s 2019 Game 3 when he went for a big number after a big dunk. And Raptors fans have mocked him with that in every trip to Canada since. So that’s what he did. He’s paying a pretty stiff penalty.

The you’re Philly STFU stuff I’m pushing back on. We get killed in the national media for things less than KD injury cheering and the way the Raptors fans and media have commented on and reacted to that elbow. So if I have to carry lazy national media and this Philly reputation, it’s absolutely fair to point out they’ve shown their asses multiple times now. After all I’m talking to a Dodgers fan and people get stabbed in your ball park.

Is a Philly fan allowed to call this stuff out?

Da fuq? That’s what a flagrant foul is?!?!? It’s reckless. The word they use in the rule is “unnecessary”.

Nope. Pretty sure booing Santa is one of the 7 deadly sins.

Gluttony, vanity, sloth, lust, greed, wrath, booing Santa

Yep, checks out

But also, I appreciate the receipts on me calling those fans garbage immediately after it all transpired. All the other stuff is just basketball. It’s unfortunate. It is what it is. I’m talking about a fan base that has shown their ass repeatedly. Can you imagine if Philly did that? I can. Philly fans cheered an official coming in and ruling a pass that was ruled complete originally incomplete for a turnover on downs. Unfortunately, on TV it coincided with Michael Irvin on the ground having injured his neck. That narrative that Philly cheered for Irvin’s injury still lives. Fair is fair. Barney fan base and media are garbage.

Grow a spine
You're supposed to represent Philly

[Darth Dawkins]

So I remember that well and remember trying to defend Philly fans on that one. So that's different to you? In the stands you don't always have access to all the replays and info FFS. You react in real time.

Announcers watching replays?
Here’s a podcast if you want


Then there’s this guy


Do these people have a murky point of view? This isn’t just a fan issue. This is your media?!?!? Complete trash dude.
