People hate the NBA because we're supposed to turn a blind eye and call that greatness. The product is an insult to game.

Bro he intentionally injured someone. **** that noise

No he didn't. Robinson would have landed right on him, so he took action and pushed him out of the way. It was reckless and dangerous, but so is people jumping on top of you when you're on the floor.

Bro - that's completely ridiculous. Watch again. He could have easily avoided getting landed on lol. The fact that he's trying to play victim after taking out Mitch for the game is ridiculous also.

Today I learned you protect yourself from a guy landing on you by grabbing his leg and dragging him towards you.

Let’s just ignore this could make that guy lose his balance and land hard on you because you’re dragging him right towards you.

you know what you're absolutely right - Embiid is the first star to ever do something borderline during a game.

Its perfectly relevant. Keep the same energy for everyone. If you can't do that, YOU have the agenda, not me.

I do keep that same energy regardless of the name on the front or the back, that's why you can't find any posts from me excusing Jokic for losing his temper...or Randle for losing his, to include a player I am biased towards...but you bringing that up when we're talking about Embiid isn't irrelevant.

Just like it wouldn't matter if everyone except for you on this earth was an irrational Embiid hater. What matters to the current discussion is what your man did and what you seem so reluctant to admit he did, so stop trying to deflect from that. If you want to talk about Jokic go to a Jokic thread.


If you read through my posts during this series, I have been very complimentary of Embiid and have repeatedly defended his play against other knicks fans that I felt were being unfair to him. So you're not going to have much luck employing the "I'm rubber you're glue" stratagem against me.

I have my biases...usually for 2nd options that get too much s*** because their teams ask them to be 1st options...but before last night, Embiid wasn't one of them. And I still don't even have any actual hate for him. He's petulant and went full scumbag last night, but he's an incredibly gifted player & he doesn't wear a Berliner FC Dynamo shirt, so I don't have a reason to hate him.

I have noticed those compliments towards him from you. I have also noticed the majority on here have let their emotions get the best of them. My point of bringing up Jokic was to illustrate the chasm in the level of reaction people have towards that sort of behaviour when it's a fan favorite, as opposed to a powderkeg like Embiid. I'm not surprised by the reaction, but it also doesn't mean it was intentional in trying to cause harm. This is all I'm trying to say. It was a dirty move, players can be dirty, even the best of them. There is no room in the game for it, especially when you are potentially doing something dangerous, but there is also no room for people to assume that people are trying to willingly hurt each other. Unless people are coming to blows, the NBA is a fraternity and for the most part these guys all respect and like each other, and don't want to take away from their livelihoods or dreams. I hope RObinson can play again next game/in this series, he does a great job defending Embiid, and I enjoy watching him.
