You clearly have zero clue what that type of play can do to Mitchell's career. If someone did that to Embiid I wonder what the reactions would be from the league.

Ah, but nothing actually happened in that play. So quit whining about it. Robinson was hurt on another play, which was inadvertent. What Embiid did was dirty. At no point did I say it was okay.

Stop with the moral grandstanding. You guys need to make 10 threads about it, moaning about the same thing. This place is an echo chamber, Reddit level ****.

When Joe L intentionally flops and brings 300lb onto someone’s leg/knee/ankle, it’s anything but inadvertent.

Went to the Philly board to see if there were any empathetic posts about the unfortunate Mitchell Robinson situation, but was instead (un)surprised to see the following comments:

Phila Tough wrote:I personally think Embiid should be more dirty. The guy can be a model citizen and people will still find something to dislike about him. I like this balls to the wall Embiid. Give them something to really complain about

Didn't pull, yank, grab, or do anything at all to his legs. Very lightly put an arm around his leg as if trying to brace him from falling on top of him and landing on his surgically repaired knee.

These refs are allowing the Knicks to play overly physical, and frustration will come with that. Because, if Philly actually had a real enforcer, and not that nice guy Paul Reed... Somebody should elbow Josh Hart in his rib cage. He's jumping on people's heads every play, never been called

Nuntius wrote:There really isn't a way to excuse what he did to Robinson. Bear-hugging a player's legs when they're mid-air? That's extremely dangerous and 100% intentional.

Embiid had intend to harm when he did that. And he succeeded in injuring Robinson. He didn't face any consequences for his actions either. It's unbelievable, really.


In most contexts it would be unbelievable, but this is last season's MVP, playing at home (with Philly fans in about half of the seats), and if he had been tossed...like he should've been...then his team's season was over. I'm not suprised that the refs in that situation did everything they could to keep him on the court.

Even if it's the right call, you'd have idiots complaining about the refs deciding the series by enforcing the rules when Embiid broke them...or worse...and the league can't be too mad about getting that 2nd half performance out of Embiid while ensuring one more game before his season ends.

So the refs knew they wouldn't get too much s*** from above for making the wrong call, but they might get s*** from all sides if they made the right call. At the cost of making the Knicks play an extra game before round two, that's a disappointingly easy decision for some...

That's why, even though not tossing a player who did all that is shocking, I can't say I was actually shocked in the moment :dontknow:

DUDE,

you were running through every thread on here saying the league is rigged and that the outcomes of the game were already pre-determined after Game 2. You wouldn't stop crying about it.

You seem like a very unhappy, bitter person that doesn't even like the NBA. Just go do something else with your life that you might enjoy more.

Many people think it could have been a flagrant 2, and if it were, we'd likely be down 3-0.

Nevertheless, I don't think what Embiid did was the reason for Mitchell Robinson missing the game. He grabbed the right leg, while Mitchell seems to have hurt his left ankle. Mitchell was also able to stand on his own and play through the first half.

This is a more fair post indeed. I don't think that Embiid is a bad person either (I do not know him or any other player after all so I cannot judge them anyway) but I do believe that he had the intent to injury Robinson in that play. I do agree that the reason behind it was probably a combination of immaturity and stress rather than just being an **** but still, the intent was there, imo.

This is a 30 year old man we’re classifying as immature. If he can’t manage his stress at this age he likely never will. And yes, the play was ridiculously dirty and he deserves a suspension but also karma to come back his way.

I’m my life time watching sports — I ain’t never, ever seen a professional player in all sports be as emotional AND dirty. AND he a superstar, all time great talent.

Ask yourself this a player of his caliber should NOT be limited to the semi finals. He’s a loser mentality player, and losers will find ways to lose.

Embiid has ZERO clue how to win, or how to lose properly. When things don’t go his way he cry’s, throws tantrums like he’s a 6 year old girl each and every time, have SOME shame. I’d be in his face, bumping him, chirping him till his face turns blue. He doesn’t know how to keep his composure under the slight amount of pressure. Again, he’s 30 and never been in a conference finals, and if you’re a Sixer fan and wonder why — my god you lack awareness.

He’s reckless, dangerous, has zero awareness of right from wrong. Super **** talented. But my good, I’d hate for him to be the franchise player of the team I support. Tyrese Maxey is that kind of player.

I ain’t EVER wished injury on anyone. But my god, when his ACL rolls up I won’t feel bad. The karma he’s enables is deserved, I don’t care if this gives neutral fans on this site bad taste — when you injure players, as soft, a loser Joel Embiid is? Nah, I can’t feel sorry for that.

He better hope the Knicks keep their composure because what he’s about to enable is deserved if someone takes a knee out.

May I add, it only makes sense why he’s on Team USA — he’s a front runner.

What a soft, emotional, dangerous, dirty loser.

I hope to god the Knicks win this series because Embiid will have a lot of coping to do, that’s if he’s self-aware enough but I don’t think he can.

Knicks better win this series.

LOL, that **** was indisputable. The Knicks were 100% not supposed to win that game. In 99.999% of all other instances the Sixers would have won.

The two are not the same. Embiid didn't try to hurt someone, that is actually up for debate. As I said he was being dirty. That IMO is not debatable.
