Not sure how this wasn't a flagrant 2.

It's clear why the top post is getting deserving attention but I wanted to add the second one for all to see together and also get its proper eyes.

Bitch moves, every single one of them.

He also does it to the media directly after the game pretending like everyone is out to get him.

He's basically the worst type of person. At least Draymond is honest about who he is. I've never wished for a player to be injured but this dude makes it really hard....just being honest

How was the last one, the moving body check on OG not called. Right in front of the trail ref.

I know! I watched that live and said why are they even bothering to play this farce out? What argument can there possibly be that THAT is not a foul?

There was a thread with sixers fans crying when Embiid got hurt mid-season because players were diving for a ball. I'm sure you'd feel the same way if this happened to Embiid. As evident by most of the messages in this thread, people are hoping it happens lol.

Yea, that tends to happen when a player is on the court trying to injure players of the other team.

People don't like that.

Who woulda thought?!

Also, when the lower seed is down 2-0 in a series, and they're playing their first game at home, they're almost always going to get a more favorable whistle. I don't think the NBA is managed per se, but there's definitely a pattern that emerges when narratives about the officiating favoring one team start to take hold.

“I don’t think the league is rigged, but I do think they ref games/players differently based on circumstances.”

:-p

Inconsistencies when it comes to suspensions isn't the same as the NBA forcing an outcome. It would take a lot for Siakam or Haliburton to get suspended as well. The NBA doesn't want the story to be how key guys getting suspended fundamentally altered a series. You have to put in the work like Draymond and kick/punch a bunch of guys in the balls, multiple times, to unlock that achievement.

Right. Let's keep pretending that if Robinson did this to Embiid, you wouldn't be screaming bloody murder around here

If Robinson did this to Paul Reed I wouldn’t be on a basketball forum crying about it. Like you are.

My point is, there is no integrity in the sport if different players are held to different standards.

You can argue that logically, its better for the NBA if Embiid is on the court and you wouldn't be wrong. Its a business and I understand why the NBA lets some players get away with murder.

Doesn't change the fact that if players are reffered differently, the integrity of the game is gone. Maybe not rigged as in "Make sure this team wins." but still heavily influenced.

Speak for yourself. Scumbag moves beget scumbag moves unless someone is willing to be better and just beat the 6ers down on the court, and I'd rather not dislike anyone on this roster.
