Credit to Brunson for perfecting that move but I thought they were getting rid of that nonsense.

I won't be shocked. Lot of tight play here.

Embiid with that contrived and deliberate limp. Looks so exaggerated.. I swear this guy leverages his health like Vince Carter used to.

Josh Hart is who I wanted Bruce Brown to be.

Wooooooo! This is just as good as a raptors win!
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars
Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid
There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Good thing Embiid decided to join the USA team so he can actually win something.

Need an Embiid shot walking back to the locker room in tears. A tradition like no other.

Re: 2024 Playoffs Discussion Thread
And there it is. The nba needs a rule change. A team that gets intentionally fouled while the defending team is in the penalty should get two options: 2 free throws or an inbounds under the opposing team's bucket.
I've mentioned this a couple times. What a horrible way to end the game. And it totally goes against the spirit of the rule. The team 'penalty' is actually a benefit.
The league has to address this and it's extremely an extremely sinple solution. And it's not some sort of huge change. The ONLY time it even becomes an issue is in the final 20 seconds of the game. The offensive team will always opt for the free-throws in every other scenario.
Just brutal to see a game end that way.
Again: very simple. When the opposing team is in the penalty....for every subsequent non-shooting foul, the offensive team gets two options: two free throws or an inbounds from the defending team's baseline.
