I actually don’t understand how the league can’t hold Joel accountable when it’s as clear as day. How can they let one of their players do that so freely?

What do you want them to do? Enforce the rules against a former MVP? Don't you know who he is?

Will you be ok then with Knicks losing the series to 76ers ?

That poster is saying that they don't want the league to help Embiid as much as they did in round 1. Not that they want Joel to get even more help from the refs than he already does.

And without the refs looking the other way in game 3, the 6ers get swept :dontknow:

I understand why Knicks fans are upset. I'd probably be upset too, but Mitchell Robinson is made out of toilet paper and it's time for the Knicks to decide whether they want to continue to rely on him going forward.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Robinson has revenge on his mind, apparently.

Whoa, that's egregious as can be. Embiid should be suspended to start the season and fined.

Knicks get the most help in Round 1. The root cause of the whole problem is Game 2 which referees awarded to Knicks. If Game 2 was honestly officiated, then series would be 1-1 after Game 2 and then things would have played differently. Most likely 76ers would have won Game 3 & 4 as they are more talented team (even though Embiid was playing not healthy) and playing at home. Knicks would have won Game 5 and 76ers would have close out the series in Game 6. So the series would have been decided 4-2 in favour of 76ers. The main reason Knicks won Round 1 is referees incompetence and/or rigging.
And same thing is now happening in Round 2 against Pacers.

Embiid deserves every bit of his failure. Best wishes for Robinson's recovery, it's a shame he got taken out by a jackass like that.

Boston traded out Time Lord (a fan favourite) for worries about his durability/body holding up.

Robinson is a better player though and an absolute defensive/rebounding beast.

Knicks should keep him unless they think he could be part of a package for that Elusive third star piece next to Randle and Brunson.

Mitchell and The Knicks could use some kind luck for.a change when it comes.to his recovery.

Its debatable. I think overall Time Lord is better.

Everyone saw that series and how much help Joel got to stay in it. The refs tried to put their thumbs on the scale, but the Knicks wouldn't let them 8-)

People can debate anything, but there's no good argument for Timelord. Robinson is the better rebounder, better defender, and he's significantly less fragile.
